Gilmore Girls Spin Off

Filed under: Gilmore Girls • Comments: 1

There is some debate whether this will be the last season of Gilmore Girls. It doesn’t really matter to me because I obsessively watch past season’s DVD’s so I will always have the Gilmore Girls. However, I think they need to pull a “Mary Tyler Moore Show” spin-off extravaganza. From Mary Tyler Moore, we got the Rhoda Show and the Betty White show, among others. If you had to choose a Gilmore Girls character for a spin off show which one would it be?

Mrs. Kim: New V.J. on MTV

Kirk: A remodeling show where he single handily has to build a house in a week by himself.

Paris: West Wing-esque show with Paris as President.

Leave a Comment and let me know what your spin off idea is.  I’d copyright these but I’m hoping someone will steal them and make them into a show.

Rory’s Book Club Review: Ethan Frome

Filed under: Book Reviews • Comments: None

Ethan Frome (Signet Classics (Paperback)) The first time I saw the TV show “Gilmore Girls” I wished they were real people so I could go over to their house and jump on the couch while eating pop tarts and listening to Tom Waits. I felt the same way when I read “Ethan Frome” by Edith Wharton. I wanted to be the authors friend, and I think she would fit in well with Lorelai and the girls. My mom has read “House of Mirth” also by Edith Wharton, and the excerpt that I read was a completely different style of writing. I would say “Ethan Frome” was very plain and simple, all about life wrapped into 93 pages. The writing style was like Louisa May Alcott with an edge. This book so far is only second to “The curious incident of the dog in the night-time” by Mark Haddon as my favorite books on Rory’s book list. If you want to join the club, just click the link on the sidebar and go to the official site and pick some books to read. Feel free to come back here and comment and share your trials and tribulations of trying to become Rory Gilmore.

Rory’s Book Club Review: Frankenstein

Filed under: Book Reviews • Comments: None

Frankenstein You’ve heard the expression “never judge a book by it’s cover”. Well I thought I pretty much had the story of “Frankenstein” down. Scary green monster named Frankenstein with a bolt in his neck wanders around zombie like. That’s pretty much it, and now that I think about it, that doesn’t constitute an entire book. However, Rory said I had to read it for her book club, so I did. I actually enjoyed the book, it wasn’t as scary as I thought, it wasn’t as anything as I thought. It was a beautiful, poetic book about life. There kids, that is my sound byte for you to steal for your book reports. This book is a classic for a reason. Reading it also reminded me how much girls rock, Mary Shelley especially. I wonder if anyone has ever said Mary Shelley rocks before, well she does.
