i have been watching this tv series called "Californication" (oohh how terribly american that sounds. tv series. anyways). after a very long time i actually found something i liked so unabashedly. as unabashedly as to watch 13 straight episodes back to back. i like the guy. evidently aging does not have to make someone look bad. the opposite has definitely happened in this case. i love the humour. i love that sarcasm. i dont know if its just me or if there is something in the air that says that this world could do with a lot more tongue in cheek, plain old fashioned sarcastic humour. now is that an oxymoron? to some maybe. i love.
and there is something so terribly appealing about a goodlooking man who is willing to engage in an intellectually amusing stychomathia with the necessary deadpan face. all in all, a good combination. how much i am going to like the next season i do not know. what i do know is i want the story to have the cliched happy ending. it is just so fitting. i mean, look at it this way, dont we have enough unhappy endings as it is in this world? why extend it to the movies? thus i finally discover the philosophy behind sop. but let me tell you this, those people who make and buy that sop are lonely people, heart broken perhaps. hoping against hope that some of that cinematic charm rubs off onto their miserable day-in day-out existence. well as things stand, i like what i see, ideology or otherwise. or was it philosophy?
