So last night I was watching “CSI: Miami”, as I do every Monday night at 10 pm (and I always feel like I should apologize to my sister for that because of her intense hatred for David Caruso, but I can’t help but love Horatio even with all the overdramatic flair). George was doing some work on a song down the hall, so he only came in halfway through. With crime shows, you can’t just pop in at the 30-minute mark and expect to know what’s going on. On top of that, all three CSI shows have been experimenting with weird camera angles and bizarre shots to make things a little, I don’t know, edgier.
George: This episode of CSI is like watching Seinfeld.
Sherry: What do you mean?
George: It’s just a show about nothing.
Sherry: It’s not about nothing, all this stuff ties in together.
George: It’s about nothing.
Sherry: That’s not true, you just missed the first half and have no idea what’s going on.
George: Whatever.
*Calleigh and the father of a victim are standing in a cemetary. The background grass, trees, and tombstones are heavily, HEAVILY oversaturated.*
George: And what the HELL is up with all these stupid shots? First the split screen crap, and now this.
Sherry: Actually, I was just thinking, wow, that’s some cool saturation effect right there.
George: What is that? Did Jerry Bruckheimer take the day off? This is like the Aaron Sorkin on mushrooms shot.
Sherry: Really? I think it’s cool.
George: MUSHROOMS.
Sherry: I thought it kind of had that “Six Feet Under” look to it.
George: Hmm.
Sherry: You know, except without all the wild gay sex over the hood of a car in a dark alley stuff.
I watch CSI Miami every Monday too, Agent Wolf or Detective – whatever, is HOT! So is Eric mind you – but that’s not at all why I watch it. Anyway, the cemetery scene was kinda weird LOL. And the Camera stuff they have been experimenting with, well, I could do without, I get distracted and stop paying attention to what is going on and just think “what are they trying to do here?” or “Ohhhhh, four times more of Agent Wolf – NICE!” You see – distracting!
The Mushrooms bit had me laughing out loud at the office – again – thanks; it helped the coffee kick in :thumbup:
I haven’t seen this week’s episode yet (why did they have to put Studio 60 and What About Brian? both on opposite CSI: Miami?) but the split screen thing was kind of bizarre a few weeks ago. Gary looked at me when it happened and was like, “Huh?” Are they getting bored? Maybe they just got some new gizmo.
