teenage drama

so in case you havent picked up on it I have a thing for bad teenage melodrama on tv and film. Degrassi, South of Nowhere, Saved by the Bell, the OC, Dawsons....the list goes on with Buffy and Mean Girls having their own slots for actually being good. Anyway i love watching this shite...i have no idea why (actually i do this is what my blog entry is about) but I find it hilarious...I love the high drama and Canadian accents yelling "sorry, soorry, sorry."

It goes along with my love of people falling to their knees and screaming "NoOOOOOO" at the top of their lungs- preferably in the rain- the newest star wars movie had me rolling in the aisles. I love to laugh at stuff like that...my friends have banned me from seeing movies like the notebook cause i always get in trouble for laughing. whats that line "type who laughs at a funeral" The time i squirted tequila out of my noise laughing was when i made my sister cry and laughed because i felt uncomfortable (yeah..let me tell you this gets me into trouble alot)

anyway, I've been netflixing this show Popular that i used to watch for the past few weeks...i dont know if any of you know about it, but it was tammy lynn michaels big break and had two pretty hot girls with ALOT of subtext...so I've been watching this show thinking how great it would be if they made sam gay, when this week on afterellen's lesbian week I find out that if there was a third season sam was going to come out! so sad it got canceled, but it did get really weird in its 2nd season....oh and it was created by a bunch of gay men (creator of nip/tuck) and is awesomely campy.

besides having gay characters in teen shows being awesome in general, i have a theory that positive representation in teen shows is more powerful than in any other genre in the future acceptance of the homo, so yay for gay teens (and if SON would actually have some real affection be shown it would be nice too)

Rant over

(did i mention i also have a thing for disaster movies....)
