frankieval replied to your post: 5 Shows You Need to Watch
Now that you have mentioned Rome and Curb in the same top five, we can be friends forever. I live by Larry David… but Rome was definitely an unsung series that was lost in the shadow of not only budgetary problems, but Sopranos, Deadwood, etc.
Great minds think alike.. and laugh alike. That’s some deep shit right there.

Noogi Y U No do 1 of my tweet :(
Pick a tweet and I’ll do it. I’m bored out of my mind.
I’m bored, so I made a list of my 5 favorite TV shows.
5. Rome
This is an older HBO show that lasted 2 seasons. The production costs were crazy, so HBO cancelled it. Not many people have heard of it, but it’s got some of the best acting I’ve seen. It follows two soldiers and their lives during Caesar’s reign. It’s what Spartacus wishes it could be.
4. Peep Show
Hilarious British comedy where you watch the show from the characters’ point of view. You see only what the characters see. The show’s about a neurotic chubby guy who lives with a crazy room mate. It’s got 7 seasons under its belt. Shit’s on Netflix Instant if you have it.
3. Arrested Development
If you haven’t seen this show, you’re insane. Just pure brilliance. The only downside is that it introduced the world to Michael Cera. The show is all about subtle references and dry humor. It’s about a fucked up family trying to hold on to their money as their construction company falls apart.
2. Curb Your Enthusiasm
This is the smartest show on TV. Larry David blows me away every damn time. Each episode has a few different story lines that all come together in some fucking genius, hilarious way at the end. It’s unscripted, so most of the dialogue is improv. I’ll cry if Larry decides to stop filming.
1. Battlestar Galactica
This is a re-imagining of the old 1980’s show by the same name. Definitely my all-time favorite show. It starts off by telling you that there are 12 Tribes (planets) who have built advanced robots called Cylons. The Cylons became aware and tried to destroy the Tribes, but they were defeated and disappeared into space. In the first episode, the Cylons come back and destroy all 12 planets. Only a small group pf spaceships are left, holding about 3,000 people. The only military vessel left in the fleet is the old Battlestar Galactica. The Cylons won’t be happy until every human is dead, so they chase the fuck out of them. We find out that Cylons have become so advanced that they are no longer machines; they look and act human. The catch is that there are only 13 models of Cylons. For example, all Model 6 Cylons would look like:
You’re only introduced to 2 models early on, so you never know who’s gonna turn out to be a Cylon. Anyways, The fleet decides to search out the legendary 13th Tribe, which is Earth. They want to find Earth so they can colonize it and restart their civilization. The whole show is a straight mindfuck with brilliant religious undertones. Shit’s on Netflix so check it out when you get a chance. It’s nothing like Star Trek, so don’t let the Sci-Fi look scare you.
suiz:
This morning I read a post about the age old debate (if we can call it that) on exactly how “real” online people can be, or what their potential beneficial impact on your life could amount to.
The weirdest thing of this is that it’s not really a debate, since you need two sides for an actual debate, whether in this particular scenario you have a “real life friend” playing the part of the accuser, pointing out how much fake time you spend with your fake friends, fake-feeling better about yourself. On the other hand there’s you (or me), accepting the responsibility, feeling the guilt and generally becoming convinced that this whole online life you lead is no life at all!
I finally got my thoughts together on this. I’m about to embark on an extensive rant of the “tl;dr” variety, so if you’re still with me, read on after the jump.
Thanks for this.

you do both have an extraordinary capacity for kindness when YOU aren’t being smug, mister.
You’re confusing smugness with crippling insecurities that hide behind a veil of self-satisfaction. Also, I love you.
