Pop culture souffle

I have to admit that there was something infectious about Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s gleeful insubordination while working at the local Sonic drive-through on last night’s episode of The Simple Life.
Meanwhile, this Dark Horizons report suggests that Star Trek: Enterprise is quite possibly calling it quits next season due to low ratings. You know, there’s still time to implement some of my suggestions to save the series.
Finally, there’s a hilarious (albeit R-rated) review of The Return of the King Hobbit-Man: The King Returns by Neill Cumpston up at Ain’t It Cool News. A brief excerpt: “This movie starts with the origin of Golem–that creepy guy who looks like Iggy Pop and wears Tarzan pants and wants the invisible-ring. He’s still on a quest with the two hobbits–Rudy from the film RUDY and Fredo–to throw the ring into a volcano (this is like a serious version of JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO).” Good times.

The news on Enterprise is very sad indeed, the ten-something mixed episodes I’ve seen of it may not have been TNG (apples and pears), but it would cetainly qualify to make me switch on the TV for something other than The West Wing or King of the Hill. Maybe they can devise some sort of time-space anomaly that would make Jeri Ryan appear as a crewmember to trick us into watching, I know I’d be happy to fall for that one again.
I really like Enterprise. I think the biggest problem is that UPN is a network which targets a prodimently african american audience. Not to say that african americans are unable to enjoy star trek, I just don’t seem them as a demographic which would instantly love the show, like nerdy white guys are. Perhaps if it were on another network, maybe even cable, the show would last longer.
But then, Science fiction Television just hasn’t been doing well these days. The shows that seem to last are the ones which are cheap to make, since the fans who do watch are loyal, regardless of quality (Sci-fi channel’s friday night line-up, for example).
That review guy is a fucknut. Very entertaining, but a fucknut none-the-less.
