Ok, so it was Saturday night and there is always some dumb shoot-em up movie or a classic somewhere on cable. Paparazzi was entertaining for about 20 minutes, but they weren't all in row. A couple cameos here and there by Chris Rock as a Pizza boy, which seemed weird because he is a big star, kind of a down role and I suppose a joke in itself. The well placed one was Mel Gibson, because of the plot where the Stalked star is a action hero runs into him at an aggression counselor's office. But there is a point where too many cameos ruins a movie. Ok there I gave away a cut-away joke but so what. The hbo film was missing any sort of sex, which is sad for hbo, and centers around a revenge plot. It's hbo right? Where is the realism that has been admired in it's hit shows like the dark, dark, dark Six Feet Under? Who's final episode airs tonight. 6FU has always had all the sex and plot to carry it to it's final show tonight. I think hbo films needs to raise the bar of it's feature film programming by a few short hairs if I am going to watch. However, I will give loud clapping hands to super prick agent Ari and the show Entourage whos the writers, and producers have given this enough of a spin on reality programming that it has the potential to go as long as the Sopranos or Sex in the City and grow it's audience as long the grit gets better. One cursory spin on defamer or fleshbot will write any show forever. The pursuit of Aquaman is sort of funny, not one of the top 10 super heroes, but surely one of the most underrated. For now it is obvious that a short focus is best. Don't you think?
