Self-Indulgent Ramblings Year VII: Aaron Schultz and the Snarky Hallows

Because it's been such a popular part of my blog, it's time once again for some ramblings on anything that crosses my mind. So, with apologies to Harry Potter and Larry King, here's some more self-indulgent ramblings:

Although Matt Smith is one of my favorite Doctors, I have to say that Peter Capaldi is doing a great job on Dr. Who.

Spoilers alerts on The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy: the body counts are getting very, very high.

And on these shows, that's saying something.

Speaking of Sons of Anarchy, I've just found out after watching it for years that the guy that plays Otto is actually the creator of the show.

You know, if I created a show and decided to play one of the characters, I wouldn't choose the one who constantly gets beaten, tortured, and occasionally anal raped.

My unabashed, no holds barred review of A Walk Among the Tombstones: It was decent, but WHY DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE TO CHANGE SO MUCH STUFF FROM THE BOOK? WHY CAN'T THEY KEEP THINGS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME?

Okay, sorry, I'll calm down a little.

If they ever made a movie version of my book, I Am Annoyed: One Man's Rants Against This Annoying World, (unlikely, I know), the character based on me would be younger, better looking, have more hair, probably shorter, and would be just slightly irritated instead of annoyed.

So, I thought the series finale of Boardwalk Empire was pretty satisfying, but...
WHY DID HBO CANCEL DEADWOOD AND CARNIVALE BEFORE THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO WRAP THINGS UP???? I KNOW THIS IS YEARS AFTER THE FACT, BUT IT STILL BOTHERS ME!!!

Oh yeah, I was supposed to calm myself down. Sorry.

After you watch Dracula Untold, from then on should you call it Dracula Told?

Speaking of which, here's my unabashed, no holds barred review of Dracula Untold!: Actually, this review will stay untold.

I wouldn't condone it (repeating for emphasis so I don't get into trouble, I wouldn't condone it), but people lurking around in public places dressed as creepy clowns are just asking to be assaulted.

Hell, just seeing anyone walking around dressed as a "normal" clown would freak me out.

If my life depended on the outcome of a baseball game, Madison Bumgarner would be my pitcher.

Why my life would ever depend on a baseball game, I have no idea, and why Madison Bumgarner would decide to be my pitcher, I don't know.

I enjoy watching Gold Rush even though I would never trust myself to operate any of the machinery they use on the show. #Mechanically Inept

I'm pretty sure if I worked for Tony Beets, he would have me crying within ten seconds.

Adam Copeland, WWE Superstar Edge (greatest billing ever) on Haven is giving one of the best acting performances ever by a pro wrestler.

Still the greatest of all time, though, Rowdy Roddy Piper in They Live.

Baseball season is over, hockey and basketball seasons have already started, and we're already at the halfway point of football season. I think a sign of getting old is how quick the time seems to fly for me on these sports seasons .

However, no matter how old I get, the political campaign season always seems to drag on and on.

There are elections Tuesday, though, and I'd tell everyone to go out and vote, but, really, if you need me to tell you that, there probably is no hope for you.

Daylight savings time is the stupidest idea ever in the Spring, but it's great in the Fall.

And with that, it's time for me to go, thank you for reading.
