Casual Sex Déjà Vu

So today I was doing my usual go through all the new trailers on Hulu because that's what I do routine and I had a strange sense of déjà vu. I saw a trailer entitled No Strings Attached, I watched it, it's about a pair of friends who start getting busy, feelings get involved and then they fall in love, you know, the usual. But it reminded me of a post I'd done a bit ago about a movie called Love And Other Drugs with a similar storyline... and then it reminded me of another trailer I'd seen recently called Friends With Benefits... and that reminded me of another post I'd done about an NBC show also called Friends With Benefits... which reminded me that I need to stop watching TV and movies because they're all the same. Now I just have one question: why is Justin Timberlake not in the movie about casual sex that references one of the best *NSYNC songs of all time? And why is there not a musical reunion number of sorts in said movie? Okay, that was two questions, but seriously, are we just in the fashion of green-lighting the same movie over and over again? It's not like we haven't seen a RomCom about two unlikely friends getting down and falling in love before. Hello! I'm talking to you producers, you should have stopped at When Harry Met Sally. What, are you going to remake Casablanca too? Oh wait Madonna wants to direct it but it has to be set in war torn Iraq (not making this up.) Don't you dare! If you haven't seen the newest trailers, clicky clicky! No Strings Attached Friends With Benefits More of the same after the JUMP! Continue reading Casual Sex Déjà Vu

NBC’s Friends With Benefits: A Roller Coaster Of Emotion

NBC's got a new show and it's all about the softer side of casual sex. Friends With Benefits stars a bunch of leftovers from canceled TV shows like: Danneel Harris, who seems to have gotten a new face since being on One Tree Hill, Ryan Hansen, who looks much prettier without trying as much as his Party Down persona, Fran Kranz, my favorite character on the early axed Dollhouse (PS he's already been cut from the show), Jessica Lucas of the Melrose Place reboot, and Ian Reed Kesler, who's a newcomer to TV but played "Douche" in (500) Days of Summer. (Boy was that a long sentence!) Side Note: Friends With Benefits is from the writers of (500) Days of Summer. I might watch this had they not axed the heart & soul, Fran Kranz, but alas, there's no room in the world for the funny/dorky/adorable guy. I give this show 6 eps or 10 seasons (hey look at Smallville, that shit is still on the air!)
Hey Kelly! I was just in the neighborhood with Grammy Award winning cellist, Yo-Yo Ma! Did you get the puppy?
