Forget a Bow & Put a Bird on Season 8
What’s going on in Portland, Oregon? That’s a common question everyone asks on a Wednesday, right?
I’m actually not sure, other than it’s been raining quite a bit lately. However, in TV’s hilarious mirror-reflection of the famous hipster city, there are mixed feelings these days. And it’s all because of the attached letters “ia” at the end of Portland.
Series Finale Idea: End on a live-shot with the show’s stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein surrounded by their Portlandia crew at Portland staple Voodoo Doughnut biting into a delicious new sugary treat inspired by and named after the show.
Season 8 is Portlandia’s final season and will premiere tomorrow night on IFC at 10 p.m.
A Blade Runner Kind of Sounds Like a Snow Plow
The expression goes “when it rains, it pours.” Currently, in Columbus, Ohio, that expression can be amended to “when it snows, it’s your chore, there’s always more and where’s my shovel from Thor.”
Yeah, it’s snowing a lot here in the midwest. And the single-digit temperatures coupled with layers of ice sadly don’t encourage snow fights and building a snowman outside. So, with that in mind, maybe it’s best if we imagine the snow is actually rain for a moment. There’s an inherent tranquility in the rain. For even more imaginative fun, let’s coincide this soothing day-dreaming with today’s Blu-ray release of the visually stunning science-fiction sequel Blade Runner 2049.
“Rain” + Blade Runner 2049 =
Rain in the future (according to Hans Zimmer) sounds nice.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Martin Luther King Jr. changed the way generations of Americans dream. And as millions of us honor Dr. King’s powerful legacy of peace today, his civil rights message defined by the words “I have a dream…” will continue to inspire the many generations to come. When faced with troubles, personal and societal, Dr. King is a popular reference in finding the motivation to succeed.
Exhibit A I Have a Dream:
Martin Luther King Jr.’s life tragically ended far too soon at age 39. However, we can take solace in knowing his legacy lives on.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
From AC to DC
There’s only one way to enter this weekend, especially with a winter storm hitting:
On a train.
More specifically, a train that’s (trust me) rocking and rolling…
Lucky for us, Friday’s party train arrives every week.
