a post - oc record?

here's some mainstream news for a change. the outrageously popular series "twilight" is appearing on the big screen. the first installment will come out on december 12th 2008 and guess what! there are three OC characters appearing in this film.

nikki reed - (aka SADIE HARPER) will be playing a vampire sister of edward cullen
cam gigandet - (aka KEVIN VOLCHOK) will be playing the evil vampire, James.
jackson rathbone - (aka JUSTSIN) will be playing jasper, another member of hot ass edward cullen's family.

BRING IT ON!

character alignments - in progress

i am now going to speculate on the character alignments of the OC chars based on the D20 (dungeons and dragons) rule system. if you disagree, feel free to chime in with your opinion!

Sandy Cohen - neutral good
i used to think sandy cohen was a piece of cake. he is a lawyer. of course he's lawful good. but the more i got to know sandy and the more i got to know the alignments, i realized that he is neutral good. he is not close minded as a result of being lawful. he could go either way. sandy is always looking at situations from EVERY angle and does the best that he can. he forgave his son for smoking a joint and accidentally burning down his office. he forgave kirsten for driving drunk. i have a hard time believing that someone who is lawful good would find it so easy to move on after those situations. therefore, i conclude that sandy cohen is neutral good. feel free to dispute this.

Ryan Atwood - chaotic neutral
this one is pretty obvious. characters of the chaotic neutral alignment are generally people who follow their own heart, with a disregard to rules and traditions. they do not enjoy seeing other people get hurt. this epidomizes his constant need to "rescue" those in need. how many times has ryan stood up for marissa by punching someone in the face? too many to count. therefore, i conclude that ryan atwood is chaotic neutral. feel free to dispute this.

to be continued...

Mermaid Inn-seedy underbelly or gateway to drama?

Both.



I wish I was a mermaid,

And was friends with all the fish.

A shiny tail and sea shells,

That would be my wish.


Is anyone even the slightest bit curious why such a ritzy place like Newport has no 5-star hotel/resort accomidations? I mean I suppose you don't really need to "travel" to your own town of residence, especially when you could jetset to Cabo or TJ for the weekend. Or have more bathrooms than toes! That last bit is not so much implied, but only because they don't need to use/ever mention bathrooms! However the scandal that seems to surround it, like in the episode with Julie's former fling Lance reveals her contribution to the porn industry, would lose it's allure in the Presidential Suite of the Ritz Carlton.

Orange County=no need for bathrooms!

Marissa Cooper - is it intentional?

for god's sake, girl, are you serious? let's take a look at all the guys who fell in love with her in those precious first three seasons:

*luke (well, we don't see it happening, but it is implied)
*ryan
*oliver (ugh)
*DJ
*Matt Ramsey (that's arguable)
*fuckin' Johnny Surfboard Harper
*volchok

i know , i know ... she can't help that they fell in love with her...

but can she?
i mean, can't you see she's just begging for it?

ugh,
i mean JOHNNY!
"oh! i wonder if johnny would like this christmas tree"
AHHHHHHH

alright, i just had to get that off my chest.

come on marissa,
ryan is HOT
dont talk to anyone else. please.

Bagels-Breakfast of Champions!

I like to keep bagels in the house. Just in case Sandy Cohen sleeps over, and in the morning wants to "Shmear" it for me!

Like in that episode in fourth seas, where Ryan is fantasizing about Taylor. The camera then shows him in a wonky daze as Kirsten and Sandy are there staring at him in the Cohen kitchen. Sandy echoes to him, "I already Shmeared it for you!"

I love how Sandy takes so much pride in the art of spreading cream cheese!

does time run differently in the OC?

In the second season, Julie Cooper is blackmailed by a sleazy ex boyfriend, Lance, who waves an old VHS tape in her face. The cover shows a "young"Julie with a bandage over her head and a dazed look in her eye. The title is "The Porn Identity". What I dont understand is, if Julie was sooooo young when she dated Lance and made the porno (it had to be before she turned eighteen because that was how old she was when Jimmy Cooper knocked her up and consequently married her) how is it called the Porn Identity??? It is supposed to be a parody of the original The Bourne Identity - but that didnt come out until 1988! If Marrissa is 16 in 2002 (first season) that means she was born in 1986. So was Julie dating Lance and shooting pornography with a two year old Marrissa at home? DOUBT IT!

And I'm not even going to get into how quickly Kaitlin grows up at boarding school.

Let's break Johnny's surf board2

For example, Johnny's mom distinctly gives Marissa a dirty look and seems to not care at all about Kaitlin's involvement. So Marissa is naive, but not calculating. However she bears the brunt of the guilt associated with Johnn'ys demise.

Only Ryan could see through her games. Kaitlin says something to the effect of "Aren't you a dirty boy?" and Ryan unraveling her ploys of deception in taking over Orange County one patheticly ridiculous emo lovesick turd of a wuss at a time! And he puts her in line like the father Jimmy could never be.

Kaitlin+Volchok=B.F.F.-------Should-a Would-a Could-a!

Let's break Johnny's surfboard1

What's Johnny's problem before he dies? Why can't Johnny seem to understand that drinking more out of his bottle should leave less tequila in the bottle, not more. In the scene where he dies, he seems to not remember from shot to shot which hand he's holding the alcohol in. We really wish Johnny would have met this fate on the cliff, preferrably before he met Marissa in the first place.
Why couldn't Johnny just be happy with the younger Cooper girl, it seemed to be what he was going for. If he had no qualms with tempting a girl already in a relationship, why did he suddenly become so morally upstanding when Kaitlin mentioned her age.
Kaitlin wasn't she like totally, not only using Johnny to partake in sibling rivalry, but...she's totally to blame! But it's not that I can't sleep at night.

Trey's Apartment

Did anyone notice that the phone in Trey's apartment went from a shitty dial phone, to a cordless, and back to a dial phone just in time to almost smash over Ryan's face before Marissa shot him? He goes from an empty apartment with a bean bag chair, to tres chic ad from an Ethan Allen catalog, and back to second-hand furn.

Where is the love?

I think there's a lot of love in the O.C. Love that may not be around in real life. The comfort of being with your family and friends, when in actuality you're alone, crying, eating and watching. The kind of comfort I could only feel if I were a Cohen.
