IT'S NOT YOU; IT'S NOT EVEN US: As internal discussion among the Thing-Throwing hierarchy confirmed why you aren't seeing much blogging from us this week: blame the culture. When the best non-SYTYCD things on tv appears to be HBO2's reairings of all the old George Carlin specials this week and the NBA Network's rebroadcasts of 15-20 year old drafts (and you should have seen Will Perdue all farbissen when the Bulls drafted him in 1988), well, be patient. Big Willie Weekend is coming. In the meantime, tell us what you're enjoying, or at least anticipating.
By the way, our friend Dan Fienberg? Also hated The Happening: "There are times where it really seems like Shyamalan doesn't get the English language. Like John Leguizamo's character is saying where his unseen wife is heading and he says something like, 'She's going to New Jersey, to the town of Princeton. 'To the town of Princeton.' As if long-term residents of Philly needed clarification that Princeton is a town. In New Jersey. It's strange that the addition of one or two extra words in a sentence would irk me so, but Shyamalan's characters do that all the time and it's just not the way people talk."
