So, just discovered MTV's "My Super Sweet 16." Yes, I realize I'm a little late to the party. I can't say I've been sucked in because I like it. Rather, I've been sucked in because it's like watching a car accident. It's so horrible that you just can't look away.
Who are these kids? And what makes them think that they deserve whatever they want? What has happened to society that these bratty, ungrateful, superficial, obnoxious, conceited teenagers are given airtime to revel in this absurdity?!?!? Oh, I forgot, this is the same society that gives Paris Hilton airtime.
And what about the parents...do they really take these kids seriously!?!? Do they know how to say "NO"? Do they know how to set limits?
If anything positive comes out of the airing of this show, I hope it's that the brats and their parents being featured watch it and, hopefully, realize how ridiculous they were. Maybe to redeem themselves they'll make a donation to a charity comparable to what they spent on their sweet 16!

Movie: "Once"
This has to be one of the best movies I've seen. Had already seen Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova live as the opening act for Damien Rice last December at the Orpheum and went out and bought their album "The Swell Season" right after. The film is simple and beautiful and proves that it doesn't take a multi-million dollar budget to make a really good film and tell a lovely story. Definitely see this film and check out the soundtrack or "The Swell Season."
