So I was watching the MTV Music Awards last night. I usually never get to watch them, but this time I just happened to catch it this year. Here are the highlights from the show, or rather, the things I found most interesting about it:
- Coldplay - their performance was absolutely amazing! “Viva La Vida” is such an awesome song. I can’t wait to get my hands on their album! June 17th!!
- Smoking a Joint - James Franco and Seth Rogan’s “smoking a joint” stunt they did when presenting the award for Best Summer Movie So Far was really lame. I’m guessing they were probably smoking regular tobacco using rolling papers, but I thought it was kind of annoying that the cameras panned out during the whole thing. However, you’re able to see that footage if you go to MTV’s website. The whole time I was watching that clip, I was thinking how gross it was that they were passing the “joint” back and forth and exchanging spit. I’m such a germ freak, I know.
- Best Comedic Performance - I don’t know about you, but the term “comedic” doesn’t really come to mind when I think of Johnny Depp. While I do admit that Captain Jack Sparrow’s antics were quite funny in POTC 3, I was rather shocked to see Johnny Depp win that category. He was up against some really tough competition, including the ever-hilarious Adam Sandler. All the nominees were quite good, with the exception of Amy Adams, of course. He really is a fantastic actor; however, it was quite shocking. It boggles my mind, really. I mean, he was up against Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, and ADAM SANDLER FOR CHRIST’S SAKE. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get over that.
- The Orbit Commercial - I honestly wish I had a link to this video so you all could see it. I could not stop laughing when they showed the monkey humping one of the awards! It was just so fuckin’ hilarious. Humping monkeys amuse me to no end.
- MTV Generation Award - First off I have to say that they definitely gave this award to the right person. That man is such an awesome asset to the entertainment industry. He’s given me more ab workouts than my personal trainer did at my old gym! The song he performed was the most egotistical thing ever, but only Adam Sandler could get away with it. Also, Rob Shneider is the only person who can ever get away with wearing a bright yellow spandex suit and a long ass wig in order to dance horribly onstage.
The only thing that bothered me about the whole thing was the fact that they picked Tom Cruise to give him the award. The speech sounded forced and monotonous. Oh, and what was up with the whole “Sandman” thing? Yes, I know that’s his nickname, but it doesn’t sound cool at all when it comes out of Tom Cruise’s mouth. He sounded like my dad when he tries to be hip by saying, “Yeah, that’s cool man!” Also, there was no need for him to be saying Adam Sandler’s middle name a million times. It just sounded so weird. So formal. So unlike Adam Sandler. Tom Cruise was definitely not the right person to give this award. They ought to fire the person in charge of choosing those people!
So anyway, those are my thoughts on yesterday’s Movie Awards. It’s the stuff I found most interesting, although you probably won’t think so.
I might not be able to update for the next few days. The cable is being cut tomorrow, and who knows when I’ll be able to get a connection going again. Hopefully it won’t take too long, but I guess only time will tell.
Rob and I went to see I Am Legend last night. That movie was incredibly good. I have always thought that Will Smith is such a great actor, and this movie was no exception. Oh, and there was a part in the movie where they showed him working out. Let me tell you: Will Smith + no shirt + ripped abs = hotness. Several people (besides me) were probably drooling and the temperature may have risen in the theater just from watching that scene.
There was a really sad part in the movie, though. If you haven’t seen the movie, then I suggest you stop reading. The rest of this paragraph will contain spoilers. Like I said, there was a very sad part in the movie. If you’ve seen the previews, then you know that Will Smith has a German Shepherd in that movie. The dog’s name was Sam, and she risked her life to save Will Smith’s character, whose stupidity caused him to be in the situation that ended up taking her life. The “zombies” in the movie started getting smart, and they set up a trap for him. He ended up getting caught, and almost got killed by their attack dogs (who were also “zombies”). Sam was able to keep him alive, but she was infected with the virus and had to be killed in the end. I couldn’t help but cry, because it was so sad when he had to choke her to death once she started turning into one. I was probably the only one in the theater that cried for the dog, but it was so sad. Being the dog lover that I am, and seeing how I’ve owned two German Shepherds in the past, it really hit close to home when I saw this part.
Even so, I thought it was a really good movie. Another movie I watched this weekend was The Golden Compass. I wasn’t really expecting it to be good, but a couple of friends of ours wanted to see it. I was falling asleep at the beginning, but it got kinda interesting towards the middle. Especially when the armored bears got into the fight. I was shocked when the king of the armored bears had his jaw sliced off. It was pretty cool. I probably won’t see the sequels, but it was a good movie nevertheless.
