ETI, or maybe The Revenge of Vera Gemini
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-09 14:20:05
My first official young adult novel! It's about how Eddie from the suburbs comes to be with his cousin Alex in the city when his mom goes into rehab. It's about homework who likes who and how to create a new life after the old one falls apart.
but I thought I'd headline with the call from another song from Blue Oyster Cult's "Agents of Fortune" album besides "Don't worry The Reaper," which I'm sure is going to headline many many reviews of the show.
As for the show itself. I have to say it was good not great. I really liked the beat friend character--his "let's go to Vegas get some smack and kill a hooker" lie was the best of the whole show--and Ray Wise was great as Satan. I also really liked the little moment with the mom where the kid forgave her. That was a genuinely sweet moment.
And of course I loved the whole bounty hunter for Satan thing although I undergo to say the arsonist guy was dispatched pretty easily maybe because they had so much else to do plot-wise.
But my overriding impression was that I might just be too old for this show. It's funny and fun but the big problem at the heart of it that this slacker guy doesn't know what kind of life he's going to have and is such a wuss that he can't ask out the beautiful girl who is unaccountably fond of him. I guess it's just the stage of life I'm in (I've finally entered the grumpy old man stage I've been preparing for all my life!) but these are not compelling problems to me.
So in the end. I liked it and if I was 22. I would have loved it but I'm not 22 and so I don't think I'll be tuning in regularly.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
