Notes From the Narrator: Yuletide TV Day 20: Smallville
http://thenarratorswietlik.blogspot.com/2012/12/yuletide-tv-day-20-smallville.html
Notes From the Narrator. Thursday, December 20, 2012. Yuletide TV Day 20: Smallville. December 8, 2005. Drunk Santa and Santa Clark. The episode's result is a foregone conclusion, but that doesn't mean it isn't interesting to watch. Sure the plot device is a bit of a cheat, but it works well in both a Christmas context and for the plotting of the show. So he chooses a different path, the one he is destined for, in the hopes that his power with be able to bring him everything he longs for anyway. Yuletide...

Notes From the Narrator. Friday, August 31, 2012. Defending Terrible Movies: Grown Ups. In the summer of 2010 Adam Sandler got together a bunch of his friends from "Saturday Night Live" (plus Kevin James filling in for dead Chris Farley) and made a film called "Grown Ups.". Despite solid numbers at the box office, this film, as with most of Sandler's more recent films, was a critical failure. Thursday, August 30, 2012. Further Evidence I'm 12: WWE Editon. Last night I spent about an hour and a half watch...

Notes From the Narrator: May 2011

Notes From the Narrator. Monday, May 30, 2011. Is a launchpad for a film career. Fifteen years after Adam Sandler left and began making films, he is still making movies that easily gross $100 million when they are released. That wouldn't be possible if he hadn't had SNL. To get his name out there and build up a fan base that have now aged along with him, and still flock to see him. And this summer's Horrible Bosses. And this spring's Paul. Seriously tell why this is supposed to be funny). That being said...

Notes From the Narrator. Friday, July 20, 2012. On the tragedy in Colorado. If you know me, you know I like to see a lot of movies. It doesn't matter what movie it is, if you ask me to go see it, I'll most likely say yes. Last night I saw The Dark Knight Rises. And this morning I awoke to the horrifying news of what happened to a group of people in Colorado who went and did the same. That's when it hit me, because the movie theater isn't Nolan's home, it's everyone's. We like the familiar. Movie theaters...

Notes From the Narrator. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. And now a dangerous discussion about race and pop culture icons. For those of you who do not follow such things as closely as I do there are two race related developments in the world of superhero culture in the last two days. The first being the big reveal that the new Spider-man is half back and half Hispanic teenager named Miles Morales. Now don;t worry, this isn't the real. Well you don't really care, and it's not really important, since the real.

Notes From the Narrator: Yuletide TV Day 21: Misfits
http://thenarratorswietlik.blogspot.com/2012/12/yuletide-tv-day-21-misfits.html
Notes From the Narrator. Saturday, December 22, 2012. Yuletide TV Day 21: Misfits. S2E7 "Christmas Special (Episode Seven)". October 25, 2010. Nathan in a Santa suit. In my American Dad! Post I talked about the episode and how it dealt with the second coming of Christ. "Christmas Special (Episode Seven)" deals with a similar idea, although this Christ is a false one. People start sowing up and opening their pocket books, and the more they give, the more powers he is able to buy. Meanwhile, the Misfits al...

Notes From the Narrator. Wednesday, January 2, 2013. What the Hell Happened this Year. The headline does not end in a question mark. That is intentional.

Notes From the Narrator. Thursday, July 7, 2011. My Outrageous Post-Graduate Plan Vol. 1. As my graduation slowly/quickly approaches, I will undoubtedly keep thinking of ways to get rich quick, not work, or work minimally and make a lot of money.
