I have been waiting for this for what seems like a DECADE! I've even resorted to watching the old episodes On-Demand. In fact, HBO is offering three 2 minute sneak peaks of the new season for those who can't wait till next week! The sporadic seasons of Big Love might be blamed on last year's writer's strike, but I'm not certain. With the wide spacing of the seasons, I get freaked out with all the kids on the show, because suddenly they've all aged so drastically. When the first season ended Ben, the eldest son was a soft-faced little boy, by the time Season 2 began, he returned 2 feet taller, and totally makeoutable! Margene's babies went from newborn to about 10, okay 2, and she herself went from fat to anorexic. By next season, I won't be surprised if Sarah, the eldest daughter is 35, with 5 or 6 of her own kids running around!
Ah! I love this show. The drama, the score, the characters. Can't wait!
GOSSIP GIRL
The season premiere was totally disappointing and boring, but I'll still watch it, and hope it gets juicier. Mmm, incest (It's not really though, right? They share a half sibling, but that doesn't make them related. It will just make for um, awkward family reunions. Yeah.)
ROCK OF LOVE BUS
Honestly, the premiere of this show made me nauseous. I will still watch it though, as I am sort of desperate.
REAL WORLD BROOKLYN
See above-- AND I went to Trash Bar to see a friend of a friend play one night. About 10 people were there, but apparently, they had been taping in there earlier for this show. I'll always find guilty pleasure in TV shows, movies, and books set in NYC so I can pick out the places I recognize. (i.e. The Real Housewives of New York, Gossip Girl, Sex and the City, Woody Allen movies, Rom-Coms, Cactus Flower, The Great Gatsby, American Psycho, and of course, Breakfast at Tiffany's)
MAD MEN
Does anyone know when this premieres?! Last I heard there have been no new scripts written!! If this show ends and more trashy reality shows replace it, I might lose faith in the media all together. Last season didn't start till last July, so I'm not too worried yet.
HBO Presents GREY GARDENS april 2009
I am also extremely psyched to see HBO's presentation of Grey Garden's in which Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange take on the roles of Little Edie and Big Edie, respectively. The film will not just be a reenactment of the documentary, but will delve deeper into the pasts of the women, and what brought them to the house that came to be Grey Gardens. I noticed much negative commentary over the choice of Barrymore for the part, but the makeup on her in the scenes shot inside the house is exquisite, and she truly embodies the part. As far as her acting chops go: She has done a lot of fluffy films, but her skills truly do ring out in films such as Woody Allen's, Everyone Says I Love You-- Lest we forget, she IS a Barrymore!

Plus people tell me I look like her so, you know, I dig her.

the make-up job is good... well, well, well... i'm sure lil edie would not be able to wrap her head around the fact that such a mediocre actress is playing her.
drew is going to suck hard, mark my word.
I know, I know. Drew has not always chosen the most challenging roles, but there must be some reason she was paired with Jessica Lang for this project by the director. I'm interested to see how it works out.
Also, I'm sure Lil Edie would not be able to wrap her head around a lot of things. She'd be thrilled that a movie about her was being made, regardless. I'm almost certain of it. She was a legend in her own mind.
omg..can't wait. i love grey gardens..drew is tricky but maybe she'll be loveable like in boys don't cry or whatever that one with whoopi was..
and i'm WITH YOU ON BIG LOVE..what was the deal with margene indeed. she got pregnant and lost 30 pounds..all too curious.
see you soon i hope!
