Not much to say except I wish you all bring in the new year surrounded by happiness and joy. May 2009 bring us fulfillment and contentment.Oh and in regards to subs; Amanda O: episode 45 I want to know what those of you who are watching feel in regards to how the Asians are being depicted in AO. Putting aside the fact that they're stereotypes come to life, I found the comments about them being "yellow" and insinuations that they all look alike a bit...offensive. I noticed something similar in "Sos mi vida" in regards to how the minorities (In that case, Asians and Mexicans) were presented. I know this is a comedic show and trust me I can laugh at such things with the best of them (I love South Park) but...this isn't satire or even very original. Maybe it's just me *shrug* In regards to the show itself, i'm going back to finding it tedious and repetitive. In the grand scope of things, we're 44 episodes in and nothing much has happened to move the story forward. How many times can Amanda go to the television station and have ridiculous things occur? I also felt a bit disappointed at how easily Dante accepted his attraction to Amanda (He's been denying it since the beginning. Treating her like a burden. Then out of nowhere he's flirting with her as if it's the most natural thing in the world). It felt unrealistic. Plus, I wanted to see him struggle with his emotions a little bit before he finally gave in and kissed her. I'm still enjoying it but it's not really getting better or worse. It's just a straight line. |
