The Point Game: Moving Hiatus Edition

Ok folks here it is moving time…sort of. I’m going to be living on a couch for the next week before I move into my new place so expect little to no updates on the site. I’ll try to get a Runway Roundup done next week but that’s all I can promise unless you want rants on Uhaul, switching car insurance, or setting up TiVo.

In the meantime, let’s give out some points:

+0: Lance Bass gay? I am shocked how little I care. I guess good for him for coming out but if this really does lead to a rumored sitcom with Bass playing a gay guy living with fellow N*SYNCer Joey Fat-One then shoot me now.

+3: Beyonce’s new track with Jay Z. The song is called Déjà vu and it certainly feels like you’re listening to Crazy in Love version 2.0 but that’s ok. Ever since Jay “retired” it always feels like gold when he pops in on a track.

-3: Fergie’s London Bridges. I’m not a huge BEP fan but I don’t hate on them, especially Fergie. This is the song that could push me over the edge. This is one of those songs that’s fun to listen to real loud in a club or car but after spin #3 you’re realizing how utterly horrible it is. I dub it this year’s Hollaback Girl.

+1: J J Abrams. After being shat on by the Hollywood studios and press for the lackluster performance of Mission Impossible 3 our second favorite TV writer is coming home to the island. Not only is Abrams penning the season opener he’s also directing one of the first six episodes. I smell polar bear in our future.

-1: MTV. Is it just me or are their seasons getting as short as our attention spans? Just as they did with 8th & Ocean, The Hills is also getting the short season treatment. Furthermore, MTV never gives you any warning it’s just a casual comment in the preview for next week. Damn just when I was developing a feeling for Heidi other than loathing.

+2: Venture Brother’s Season 2. About a month ago I picked up season 1 of this Adult Swim staple and explained how it took a while but the show grew on me. Season 2 needs no time to grow it’s already in full bloom. The writing keeps getting smarter to the point where they might become two smart for their own good. So as I begin the final stage of my long drawn out move, here’s my favorite clip from the season 2 premiere. (Gotta love the tsk tsk tsk tsk.)
