Maybe that was part of the charm, though.  I think the thing that made people like this show was that the cast looked like regular kids that you might find at your own high school.  The writing was good for most of the seasons but I wasn’t particularly happy with how the series ended.

If you want to relive it all, you can pick up the Dawson’s Creek: The Complete Series DVD set.  It was released earlier this week and includes 24 discs containing all 127 episodes.

Kings of Leon “Live at the O2 London”

Really?

Okay, first of all, this isn’t like a drummer or something that people may or may not notice has been replaced.  This is Steve freaking Tyler.  He IS Aerosmith to a lot of people and I just feel like he’s irreplaceable.  It doesn’t make sense to me that they would look for someone else.  If Steve goes, respect your music, fans and legacy enough to shut down the band.  I promise that I won’t pay money to hear someone else sing “Love in an Elevator” and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Everything hit the fan after rumors surfaced about the lack of communication in the band.  People were saying that Tyler had hired his own manager and was planning to focus on a solo career at the age of 61.  Perry said that Tyler hung up on him when he tried calling him recently.

Now, it’s being reported, again by Billboard, the Steven Tyler ISN’T LEAVING THE BAND.  What?!?!?  I swear, for a group of middle-aged men, it’s amazing how much they sound like teenage girls.

Tyler reaffirmed his position as the lead singer in true rock star form – he got on stage, sang “Walk This Way” and then said the following to Perry: “I am not leaving Aerosmith.  You are a man of many colors, but I am the motherf–king rainbow!”  Owned.

Welcome back, Mr. Tyler.

What the Heck is Going on With Aerosmith?

In the movie, we get to explore the world of the monsters who lurk in closets and under the beds of children, waiting to scare them.  Giant, blue-furred James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (John Goodman) is the best scare-monster in Monstropolis, a city powered on the screams of little kids.

Sully’s life is pretty perfect until he and his friend, Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), “discover what happens when the real world interacts with theirs in the form of a 2-year-old baby girl dubbed “Boo,” who accidentally sneaks into the monster world with Sulley one night.”

It’s funny, it’s touching and it’s family-friendly without being too boring for adults.  Overall, this is just a fantastic film!

“2012” Soundtrack Now Available

I’m more of an action fan so romantic comedies tend to annoy me but sometimes they can be fun.  The film is intended to portray a battle of the sexes but I’m not sure it accomplishes anything other than being predictable.

Mike (Butler) is a TV star and Abby (Heigl) is the morning show producer.  They work together so I guess it would make sense that he would give her some relationship advice.  She tries to take his suggestions to heart but they yield unexpected results (two guesses – these two fall in love instead).

If you’re in need of a date movie this week, this is probably a good option but I’m not sure I would go out of my way to see it.

Now on DVD: “The Ugly Truth”

As described on Amazon, “Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney are back in the limelight, focusing on their individual careers, while mom Kris tries to keep the family together and manage her daughters’ professional lives.”

Of course, by the time this second season rolled around, the family had become a lot more famous so viewers will get to see how the Kardashians handle their new popularity?

Plus, the ladies try to give stepdad Bruce Jenner a fabulous makeover while their younger brother Rob manages his modeling career and the new woman in his life.

There’s a lot to see so if you’re a fan, pick up a copy (even if it’s just to see more of Kim’s well-rounded butt!).

“Up” on DVD and Blu-ray Tomorrow

Meanwhile, Quinn’s reporter girlfriend, Christina, tries to get an interview with Debra and the detective asks her big brother to help get her off her case.  When the reporter tries to corner Deb at the station, Dexter steps in and irritates Quinn with his attitude.  Dexter then reminds Quinn that he saw him steal money from a crime scene and tells him to get his girlfriend to back off.  When Quinn learns that Dexter kept his apartment for eight months after getting married, he questions what Dexter is hiding and follows him to a nightclub where he planned to nab the photographer.  Fortunately, Dexter spotted him and sent a girl over to the detective by pretending Quinn was someone famous.  He was distracted long enough for Dexter to sneak out

Trinity was off his game for the entire episode.  He freaked out when he was unable to start his chainsaw out in the woods where he took Dexter to cut down a tree.  He was irritable but got worse after accidentally hitting a deer who darted out in front of his van.  When the two got out to check on the animal, Dexter told Trinity that the deer needed to be put out of his misery.  Surprisingly, Trinity said that he couldn’t do it and seemed genuinely distressed.  Dexter kills the deer for him and Trinity takes his fresh lumber home.  It’s later revealed that he’s building a coffin.

Debra convinces LaGuerta to allow her to open an investigation on the Trinity Killer which, of course, upsets Dexter.  He still wants to learn more from his fellow serial killer and doesn’t want to risk Deb figuring out who he really is. 

It was a pretty big episode for Deb in general, actually, since she also had the opportunity to meet with one of her father’s CIs who explained that the man had several girlfriends among his informants.  Disgusted, Debra decides to stop her search into her father’s past and it’s not a moment too soon – Dexter’s mother’s file was the next in her pile and he’s relieved to see that she hadn’t made it that far.  He tells her that he will return all of the files for her and shreds his mother’s paperwork and begins to shred her picture too but stops himself saying that he won’t let her get cut up again…

It has become obvious to some of the people in the department that something is amiss between LaGuerta and Batista.  After they are individually asked about it by Quinn and Debra, Batista goes in to talk to LaGuerta about it and they both confess to missing their relationship but they don’t take it any further.

Dexter enrols Cody in the Young Sailors program and was initially thrilled by the prospect of the boy being more busy (which would give Dex more time to do his killings) but then he realized that he’s expected to volunteer to chaperone events like an awful camping trip that Rita forces him to attend.  After Cody and the other children go to sleep, Dexter sneaks off to take care of the murderous photographer.  He kills him but then later discovers that he has exacted revenge on an innocent man.
