I know I'm like years behind in watching the OC. I don't really like it. But it's on Soapnet and it follows my "lunch hour" of watching 90210.
What happened to Mischa Barton? She was like the hot young thing of the TV world. She tried The Beautiful Life, but I guess that didn't last long. I think it may have something to do with the model look thing.
She looks too perfect for me to like. Sorry. It just comes from being short and Asian. I seldom liked tall, perfect blond people. And Sweet Valley High doesn't count (yes, I read most of them). Besides, they weren't that tall. She also doesn't seem like the most top notch actress in the world. Maybe it's just me, but I find it hard to pull for the beautiful blond type. Men always dig 'em, the media always wants to look at them.
But maybe being a blond model type is hard. As Kelly Taylor put it, "I was always afraid people wouldn't like me because I'm pretty." Maybe they know that most people resent them and that makes them insecure. Well. Boo hoo. Live with it. If you're smart enough, you know how to rock the spotlight. If people want to look at you to begin with, then make smart choices to keep 'em interested. Reinvent yourself. Or dye your hair. Whatever works.
Yes, my distraction for today is shoveling out advice to a has been actress who will never read this.
Mischa crashed and burned while her castmates remain gainfully employed for two simple reasons: she's a terrible actress, and she was the pain in the ass diva of the cast. You can sustain a career in Hollywood if you're untalented and nice, or talented and a douchebag, but if you're both... then you at least need to be really, really hot. And her anorexic brand of beauty is last year's model.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, The Beautiful Life was cancelled after two episodes.
Glad you're checking out The OC, though. Wait until it gets back to the beginning. The first season is the only great one. Season two's not bad, three's terrible, and four's a mess. From the sound of it, you're in three right now, so it'll be back around to the beginning in a few months.
It's hard to get into it though. Especially when I know everything that happens. And I hate Ryan and Marissa together. They're really boring. But maybe it's because it's season 3. I wish there was a channel that had Friday Night Lights on syndication...
ReplyDeleteNo, Ryan and Marisa always suck when they're together. But Season 1 they're on and off and Season 2 they're mostly off, so that helps. Actually, Marisa just mainly sucks in general.
ReplyDeleteDude, just ignore Heath's Netflix rules and get Friday Night Lights already...
