Seeing as it is a Monday, I figure it's time to usher in a new weekly feature here on Quo Vadimus. Thus welcome to "The Week Ahead". I'll be taking a look at what I'm looking forward to, and what I wish wasn't happening this week. So without further adieu, I bring you the first (and given my track record, probably only) edition.
This week marks the end of one of my favorite shows of the year. Yes, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip ends its turbulent and all too short run this Thursday. The episode is appropriately titled "What Kind of Day Has it Been?", which was the name of the season one finale for both The West Wing and Sports Night. Those episodes were exemplary editions of those two shows, and I hope Studio 60 goes out with a bang.
In February, I made a few short remarks about the show, and my feelings haven't changed much since then. Sure, it was one my regular weekly shows, and it did give me some enjoyment. Also, the last batch of episodes have been much better than the rest of the series. However, it still falls short of the feeling I got from watching the other two shows. Nevertheless, I'll be waiting in anticipation for Thursday night.
In other news, changes might be in store for the sorry Chicago White Sox. After getting drubbed over the weekend by a scraggly bunch of hobos from the north side of town, Kenny Williams is starting to get antsy. My how far they have fallen since '04. I wonder if a fire sale is on the horizon.
If the White Sox have any chance of rebounding this year, this week most definitely is one that can help. They play three at the Juice Dome in St. Pete, then three at Kauffman Stadium in KC. By losing these games, they can assure themselves of a seat in the cellar of the AL Central.
This weeks marks the opening of two big summer movies. The first, Ratatouille, is the new Pixar/Disney film. I don't know much about it, other than it is about a Parisian rat that loves gourmet food. Being that it is Pixar, it probably will be pretty decent. To see why Disney bought Pixar, view the piles of crap Disney pushed out during the short period where Disney and Pixar were on the outs.
The other movie, and finalist for the most pointless sequel of all time, is Live Free or Die Hard. Yes, for some reason John McClane is back. I guarantee I will not be seeing this movie in the theaters.
Oh yeah, apparently a disgusting fat turd made a movie about health care or something. Its being released this week as well. Be certain that many facts will be stretched and information by Mr. DFT.
Eh, they're all in line just to see who will win for one week before Mr. Michael Bay and his army of transforming robots come to town next week.
