Last night's Six Feet Under.. was tough to watch. So tough, Emily actually got pissed off at the TV. I won't spoil too much of it to those who are fans of the show and haven't seen it, but it was quite unusual in the effect that it ran away with a single character towards the last twenty or so minutes, to the beat of a crack induced kidnapping spree.

Judging from Emily's reaction and the reaction of just about every SFU fan out there, this has already been tagged as the most hated show of the entire series. I'll go ahead and admit that it's definately not one of my favorites, as well as others, because after watching the series since Season One, you begin to familiarize yourself with the characters and are accosted when unbelievable situations are presented to them...and last night was unbelievable for SFU standards.

This is the same shocked feeling if Kimmie Gibbler from "Full House" got kidnapped and forced to smoke crack while driving some deadbeat hitchhiker on an all night drug parade in a Full House Christmas Special.

SFU has always prided itself for shocking and dividing their audience with their unconscionable plotlines and character masochism. They definately achieved all that with last nights episode..although when the DVD series comes out, i'll probably skip over it.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy. This movie actually exceeded my expectations. It's a non stop roller coaster of Will Farrell's obsurdness that literally, DOESN'T STOP. There are alot of comedic nuances in the film that are probably gonna require a second viewing.

There's only one line that can sum it up:

"Today, redemption is spelled, R-O-N."
