5 reasons (and more) why we need Matt in The Vampire Diaries

Let's get straight, I'm a man so I don't like a "bad boy" type. Just like the female fans don't like a "bitch" type. So, is it has something to do with Matt Donovan? Well, yes. Did you remember the day when Mystic Falls full of bitches and jerks?

I thought that Matt was one of them. But, I'm totally wrong. He's mature, a fair person and really such a gentleman. Unfortunately, there are several fans, writers and reviewers who thought that Matt's character is wasting time and places in our favorite TV Series.
Apparently, their opinions disturb several people who I know. Several months ago, Red from Vampire-Diaries.net wrote a post about it. And in this passing week, Carina from Zap2It wrote another post about 5 reasons why The Vampire Diaries needs Matt Donovan.
She sat with Zach Rorieg while she was trying to "educate" those haters the reasons why Matt is needed on this show. You can watch the video :









If you really curious about what the reasons, Carina will really entertain you with her sarcastic, smart ways. Just read it on her post.

4 Reasons Why Bones Popular

Bones is one of my favorite TV Series. And I’m pretty sure that I’m not alone. According to Wikipedia, Episode Pilot of its first season was viewed by approximately 10 million viewers. And until this sixth season, there are 10 millions of viewers who are watching this TV Show.

Be careful! They are trying to read you!

So, why "Bones" becomes so popular? While we know that it’s not easy to watch decomposed corpses in various forms with maggots are eating their bones. Well, I’m figuring out several points:

1. Bones is funny.

Yes, it’s something obvious. While the other crime TV series usually choose a serious approach on their plots, Bones picks a comedy approach. There are many things that make this TV program becomes so funny. Dr. Brennan’s lack of pop culture references, and how she’s emotionally and socially under-development are several things that make "Bones" funny.
Relationship between Booth and Dr. Temperance is another thing, alongside with "the team squints".

2. Bones challenges our minds.

There are several sciences that commonly being used on the TV Series, among others are anthropology, psychology and pathology. When all characters quote or say those sciences terminology or simply utter their opinions about those sciences, it challenges us to think. Let’s say, Dr. Brennan doesn’t believe in psychology and says that it’s a weak science. I think it’s not only me who disagree with her. And probably not only me who argue in my mind about the reason that psychology isn’t a weak science.
I find that I’m challenged by how Booth uses his experience and skill to read people and plot scenarios. Although he doesn’t understand all those sciences’ terms, but he really great when it comes to read people. And I’m learning many things from his ability.

3. It has several heartwarming and heartbreaking moments

Well, like the other TV Series, Bones also has several heartwarming and heartbreaking moments. We could relate ourselves with one or several moments. How bitter Dr.Brennan was when she found that a person who dated with her was actually a suspect. Whereas, she thought that he was an interesting person and they were shared something in common.
That was sucked. And I think not only Dr. Brennan who has been caught in that kind of bad situation. Relationship between Booth and Bones also brings us many heartwarming and heartbreaking moments. Their relationship is complex. They are best friends, they are partners and yet they love each other. If we’re talking about love in this context, it has many layers.

4. Sometime it’s tense

Catch bad guys or serial killers, finding clues and crack symbols or secret codes are something thrilling. Gormogon, Howard Epps, the Grave Digger are just several characters who make us really curious, angry and annoyed. We want our favorite characters beat those villains. In one side, we are amazed with their cleverness, but in other side we really want these criminals pay for what they did to their victims.
Well, the list above just a few things why Bones popular.

Am I miss something? Or are there several things that you disagree with? Just say your opinions because I like to know your opinions.

3 Indonesian Urban Legends are appear in Supernatural Season 6

For my free e-Books which exposed the mythologies on Supernatural TV Series, I’ve been visited some websites, researched several topics, etc. The fact that Supernatural’s writers did wide researched on various mythologies were amazing. They had taken some many mythologies, cut those, then shaped it into something fresh.

But, I’m just wondering about how deep their research. Why? Because they weren’t included any of Asian mythologies, especially Indonesian mythologies. Do they know that horror movies in Indonesia are the most popular? Do they ever know that Indonesian producer drink horror cocktail for their breakfast? Too bad if they don’t know. It was about two years ago, Indonesia full with horror movies, and they even brought Japanese adult actress starred one of horror movie.

When Losers be Heroes

How The TV Series and Movies Represent Losers.

There are many TV Series and Movies which describe the under expectations persons (who we like to called them losers) be the heroes. While in the opposite describe some heroes icon on the American’s culture as the losers. I’m not talking about how bad U.S.A. image today. What I’m talking is about some nerds who anti social or under expectations and usually be victims on High School. And the opposites are football team captains and cheerleaders who usually infamous, and be society’s hope.

Should Smallville follows Superman's Mythology ?

I think since very beginning, Smallville took apart its fans. Like the other TV Series, Smallville has several group segmentation of fans. And I assume they are two main group. First, the ordinary fans. The ordinary or general fans could don’t have enough knowledge about Superman’s mythology. Or they don’t even like Superman at all, or have just a view background knowledge about this Big Blue Boy Scout.
As the general fans, I assume that they tend to accept whatever Smallville’s throw to them. As long as, it is not screw with the story or their favorite characters.

Dragon : The Bruce Lee Story

21 Pertanyaan Mengungkap Fakta dan Fiksi di film fenomenal ini

Sebelumnya, blog ini sempat membahas sinopsis singkat mengenai film Dragon : The Bruce Lee Story yang sempat diputar di beberapa stasiun televisi swasta. Beberapa pembaca datang ke blog ini karena tertarik membaca sinopsis tersebut, tetapi rupanya bagi mereka itu kurang memuaskan (juga bagi saya), kelihatannya beberapa penggemar Bruce Lee masih membutuhkan informasi terutama di seputar kematian Bruce Lee dan Brandon Lee, putranya. Film Dragon : The Bruce Lee Story adalah film keluaran 1993, disutradarai oleh Rob Cohen (sutradara The Fast and The Furious), dibintangi oleh Jason Scott Lee (Bruce Lee), dan Lauren Holly ( Linda Lee) bedasarkan buku karya Robert Clouse "Bruce Lee : The Biography" dan "Bruce Lee : The Man I Only Knew" karya Linda Lee.

My Most Wanted Guest Stars on Smallville

Will this couple appear on Smallville ?

Actually I want to create more controversial title like " Brandon Routh appears on Smallville" etc.But, I think it would be scam and will disappointed people who expect more something else than I’m trying to say in this article. I have some people whom I love to see them appear on Smallville and I don’t know how to called them be sides " My Most Wanted Guest Stars". It is like if you play soccer game in your Playstation or Wii, you can choose your own dream team.
I hope you start question : what Brandon Routh has something to do with your "guest stars dream team" ?. Well, I think it will great if Smallville has Brandon Routh since he played Clark Kent/Superman in Superman Return. Since Smallville moved to Friday Night, some fans started worried about the future of our favorite TV Series. They said the rating down because people have plan to do in Friday night and they prefer to skip Smallville than ruin their plan.
And I remember when Cinemags (Indonesian Movie Magazine) covered Superman Return just months before it would be airing. There was an interview with Brandon and Kate. The interviewer asked one question to Brandon, " Did you know about Smallville ?"
"Of course, yes, " Brandon said, " In fact, I want to meet with Tom (Welling). It would be great if I have chance to meet him." he added. I don’t know if they have met after the film released. But, come on, they have almost all Superman’s veterans appeared on Smallville. Lets count together :
-Christopher Reeve who had played Clark Kent/Superman on the Superman Movies, appeared on Smallville as the member of The Veritas, Dr. Virgin Swan.
-Annette O’Toole who we knew portrayed Martha Kent, she had portrayed Lana Lang in Superman III.
-Terrence Stamp who played General Zod, be a voice of Jor-El until now.
-Margot Kidder who played as Lois Lane in all Superman Movie alongside with Christopher Reeve, portrayed Dr.Virgin’s assistent.
-Helen Slater who previously played Supergirl in Supergirl Movie, appeared on Smallville as Lara, Clark Kent biological mother, wife of Jor-El.
They even have Dean Cain, who played Clark Kent/Superman in Lois and Clark : New Adventures of Superman series. Dean Cain played Smallville’s version of John Ripper and he had fight scene with Tom Welling. And it great, seen former Superman VS Superman.
So, these are my guest stars dream team :
-How if they have Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth, they can play another characters. I would like if somehow, Brandon has a fight scene with Tom, he can be villain or hero, is up to producers. Kate, of course I would like if she has some romantic scene with Tom Welling. She could be Lori Lemaris or another Superman’s girlfriend who not appear yet.

-Teri Hacther not appear yet in Smallville. We knew her as Lois Lane along side with Dean Cain in Lois & Clark series and popular for Desperate Housewives series. For this hot mom, I don’t have any idea what the character that fit with her.
I hope it will be reality, Smallville need something to boost their rating up. Come on, Supernatural has Paris Hilton, Gossip Girl has Hillary Duff and Tyra Banks, 90210 even has John Schneider (Pa Kent), why Smallville can has someone as their guest star ? Or if hard to have those actor and actress above, they could have Jensen Ackles or Jared Padalecki perform in Smallville, Jensen can play another character be sides Jason Teague or maybe play the same character. Jared can play some new character, it will be great.

Is there any possibilty they can apper on Smallville ?

What do you think fans ? Do you have some idea to boost their rating up ?

Clark Kent VS Justice League

Although Smallville still airing on The CW, fans already talking about the possibility of spin off. Some refuse to talk about it, but the other gave their opinions. And Justice League is one of the strong candidate for Smallville’s spin off.

The funny thing is when I’m looking back, there is some pattern about how they were introduced to Smallville. From Season 4, the members of Justice League introduced to Smallville lore. And each of them had fought with Clark Kent. Did you remember about these ? Lets check it out :

The Justice League Member

Bart Allen aka The Impulse	After caught had stolen Jonathan’s wallet after rescued him for accident, Bart was challenge Clark played "Catch me if you can" game and it end up with Clark failures to keeping up with his speed. But, eventually they skip the misunderstanding and befriend. In the closure of the episode, Bart challenged him to race, "If you can catch me, I will rethinking to stay in Smallville," he said after talk about has a trip and collect a "league of super powered people". They were racing and Clark lose.
Arthur Curry aka Aquaman	This charming guy came to Smallville and saves the day. Aware of his super strength on under water, Clark starts suspicious about him. It makes sense when all super powered people around you were crazy and evil meteor freaks. Arthur then got caught by Clark for tried to explode Lex Laboratorium. They have a little and unfinished fighting on underwater. And Clark flung because Arthur’s blow.
Victor Stone aka Cyborg	Victor just has escaping for Lex’s men when he incidentally meet with Clark. Clark recognizes him as a famous Football’s player. And he knows that Victor supposed to be a death person, so Victor feel threatened and they have fight. Of course it was one of unfinished fighting on Smallville.
Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow	Green Arrow stole a necklace on Martha’s charity night and it makes Clark pissed off. After doing some research, he figure out that Green Arrow will steal again. So, he intercepts him while he was on action. They have a fight but Green aren’t a equal foe for Clark.
Dinah Lance aka Black Canary	Lex set Black Canary against Green Arrow by telling her that Green Arrow bombed his factory and killed some innocent people. And then, he and his group start to seek and destroy Lex’s labs. Dinah tricked and start seeking Green Arrow and try to stop him. Of course, she incidentally met with Clark. And because our hero has subsonic hearing, her scream totally paralyzed him. But, when he figured out how to handle the situation, Dinah not a equal opponent for Clark.

The Candidates

Maxima

She comes to Earth to find the equal and perfect mate for her after disappointed because all men on her planet can’t kept up with her stamina. So, they finally met, lust sparks fly around them and they start petting. But, disturbed by Lois whom incidentally caught them. Maxima who felt that Lois will be her rival, intercept her when she want to get home. And they are almost have fight before Clark interferes and push her with his super speed. And it makes her turn on and wanting Clark for more. But Clark realizes that Maxima isn’t belong with him. I don’t know if she will coming back and joins Justice. But I think it will be cool.

Zatanna

Zatanna comes and hexes Chloe then Clark and after that Oliver. Luckily, she don’t fight with Clark, because Clark is vulnerable with any kind of magic. In comic lore, Zatanna is younger from Clark, could be 10 or 20 years. But, in this series, she looks like of the age of Clark.

Who Next ?

What do you think fans, who will be come to Smallville and have a fight with Clark ? Or just come and join with Justice League ?

Angel's Diary New Indonesian TV Series

Recently, Trans TV has been promoting their new TV Series : Angel’s Diary. There is no confirmation yet about when it will be airing. In this promo, Angel’s Diary is TV Series about a girl (probably her name Angel, like the title) who had lived in Australia for about 10 years and has to move to Indonesia. The reason is simple, her mother doesn’t agree if her daughter dated with band’s member.
There are several other characters who introduced in this promo including her fussy aunt, and prankster little nephew. Be sides them, campus playboy and campus’ monster (female character- I think some kind of Queen Bee character) and one mysterious young man who gives towel to Angel.
Not First TV Series
I think I don’t have to explain that there are almost no TV Series in Indonesia. The primadona in this country are opera soap, or I like to say lousy opera soap. But, maybe some people didn’t notice that Angel’s Diary not the first TV Series. Some TV Channel had aired some TV Series but those were failed.
RCTI had aired Dunia Tanpa Koma, TV Series that starred by Dian Sastrowardoyo, Fauzi Baadilah, and Tora Sudiro. It was about mass media competition and triangle loves between three journalist who had played by Dian Sastro, Tora and Fauzi. Like other TV Series, it had different guest stars appear and even Andi Malangrangeng ( I hope I don’t spell his name wrongly) be a guest star, promoted President SBY program as he is Government Spokesman. But, it was failed I think because the storyline.
I mean, all mass media want to have profit, right ? So, they will pick the segmentation which will give them profit. Are there any tabloid or magazine which pick up and even investigate about drug dealers as their segmentation ? Mass media where the three work, to much paid attention on drug dealers and it not make any sense.
ANTV had aired Elang which played by Winky Wiryawan, Sophan Sophian, Ray Sahetapy, Rianti etc. It was about Indonesian Secret Agent VS Mafia. It looks like Indonesian James Bond. I was considered it as first Indonesian action TV Series. Some actors and actress who had performed great acting but some still gave opera soap acting type. And I think Indonesian still not ready yet on this genre. Secret Agent theme was not very Indonesia.
My Expectation
I am tire of Opera Soap and I don’t think that it’s only me. Trans TV has been initiative to present a different FTV, which like Box Office Movie format with dark and bright light not like opera soap which always "blink blink" (term that used by my lectures to criticize the light on the opera soap).
Don’t get it ? Do you remember when you seen Box Office movie or International TV Series like Smallville, Supernatural etc ? They are using different level of light on their cinematography, so those films have different side of artistic. But opera soap usually using flat level of light : very bright or bright light, like a daylight. Not yet the poor and typical storyline.
So, because Angel’s Diary is teen TV Series and we as youth usually seen Box Office movies and TV Series, I think we are ready for change. If it has a good storyline, fun and has a lot of fans, probably I will be running a blog abut it, of course in Bahasa Indonesia. It will be MyDailyPlanet first blog network.
So, what do you think ? What do you expect about our TV Industries ?
