tv

I'm not sure how Korea gets its licenses for American shows...but from what i'm gathering it seems like one of those tj maxx/ross sort of situations, but for tv.  Things that weren't popular in the US,  never got released, or shows that may have only lasted half a season are on all the time here.  I'm also wondering if there is some sort of rule banning movies that got more than a 2 star rating....hmm.  Last night's prime time slot went to the cinematic genius, Van Helsing staring Kate Beckinsale and Hugh Jackman.  Sadly, i watched the entire thing...riveted because it was the only thing on television i could understand.  The night before i was hypnotized by the incredibly realistic action flick, The Transporter with Jason Statham....in which Mr. Statham not only manages to stop the spread of a deadly virus, but jumps out of a 3rd story window w/o breaking a bone AND survives a plane crash unscathed.  I actually think that this movie may have been popular in the US...? If so...wow.  Honestly, i wish having the TV on wasn't such a comfort right now because i get so riddled with guilt after i watch these films from start to finish.  At any rate! It's the weekend here and i've vowed to not turn on my television.  Not even for a second because i know that if I do, i'll be sucked into a Terminator Salvation induced hypnosis and spend my entire day watching Christian Bale over act.
