Tin Man


I like Zooey Deschanel. I like Alan Cumming. And now I really like Neal McDonough. I really never got into the whole Oz world but its sounded like an interesting concept.

But overall Tin Man was disappointing. There were some parts that kept me interested but I got bored...a lot. Especially during the young GeeDee, young Az scenes.

The characters were good. The actors were fine. I think it was just the writing. At one point GeeDee is crying after witnessing the events that led to Glitch/Ambroise losing his brain. When my reaction was, so what? I'm not really attached to any character.

If they do turn this into a series - which at this point, I don' think the story is strong enough to hold up a series - they really need to bring in someone in who can do more than just retell facts and add some emotion.

What Jen Wants for Xmas

(Sorry, Marissa, this is only xmas picture I have on my computer.)
  • Laptop
  • Another hard drive
  • That brownie pan that only makes edges
  • Cookie sheets
  • Vacation - anywhere
  • Larger Mp3 player or maybe one that I don't have to keep plugged in all the time.
  • Larger computer monitor
  • Wii and all the games I want
  • New chucks or docs
  • Playmobile Rome set and I'll share!
  • The new Harry Potter or Potc or Futurama
  • Season 4 being the last season for David Tennant as the Doctor
  • A U.S. NIN Tour - It's been more than a year, buddy.
  • A new xmas tree because the 41/2 foot "Montana pine" that I bought 10 years ago at a yard sale for $5 now has a permanent lean.
  • A new tree skirt. The uber cheap felt one I have has become ratty.

Yeah I suck. But you keep asking me.
