SUPER BOWL XL... It was a good game, as exemplified (I know, I know... A big word to use for a sports-themed journal entry, haha) during the 4th quarter...when MVP Hines Ward scored a touchdown off that gadget play by Antwaan Randle El and Willie Parker. Of course, had I known the Steelers won 4 previous titles, I would’ve rooted for the Seahawks (Can you tell I'm a die-hard football fan?). Then again, maybe not. I never root for the underdogs... Always the sure-bets... Whether it be the Bulls in the 90s, the Yankees in October (that is, when the Angels aren’t in the playoffs...and I'm well aware that New York hasn't won since 2000), or the New England Patrio— Nevermind, that one was a bad example. Not that I have ever bet money on those teams, haha.
Super Bowl commercial highlights: a few of the Budweiser spots, the Ameriquest commercial where that lady gets caught on that guy's lap on an airliner, that Burger King Whopper "musical", the Godaddy.com spot with that hot babe about to lose one of her bra straps and that Careerbuilder.com ad where the dude is working in that office full of monkeys. Hi-larious.
But what was up with the movie spots?? The only noteworthy teasers were the ones for V for Vendetta and Pirates of the Carribbean 2. Shaggy Dog?? What the heck was Tim Allen thinking?? If that’s the kinda garbage he’s gonna make (when he’s not doing crappy Christmas-themed films), then stick with stand-up comedy. And what the heck was Harrison Ford thinking doing that Dr. Seuss commercial?? Especially considering he was the only non-NFL dude in that ad... Waiting for the Indy IV script to be completed?? Ugh...
Fortunately, what saved the evening was tonight's "Code Black" episode of Grey’s Anatomy. This is the first time I ever watched the show, but needless to say, this show is good! No wonder why Sandra Oh won that Golden Globe... What actually got me to stick around to watch this episode (I attended a co-worker’s Super Bowl Party in Hollywood) was Oh’s reaction when the door to that ambulance opened in the commercial. Awesome. Keep in mind I watch the FOX show House regularly...but what would've Dr. House done if he came upon some guy with a live artillery shell stuck inside his chest? Brilliant. Now that’s good television.
