Each week I take 5 news items from the current week from the entertainment industry, list them out here and then give my take on them. This is Take 5.
1. Adele rules the Grammys! – Yeah I know that she didn’t get the most nominations, that was Kanye, but she got the most where it counts. Bruno Mars made a strong showing too with his freshman album. The Grammys are always really confusing when it comes to nominations because the eligibility period is very weird. For example Bruno Mars wasn’t up for best new artist either last year or this year, yet Nikki Minaj, who has been around for a couple of years was nominated this year. Anyways, I don’t really care too much about who wins. I just like to see the musical acts during the awards show.
2. Miyamoto Steps Down? – So first it is announced that Miyamoto (the creator of Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda etc.) was retiring. That was immediately withdrawn and he is apparently just taking on less responsibilities. To me that is just fine. The guy was a genius, but I almost feel as though the past couple of years he has been holding Nintendo back and it is time to let go some of his control. The guy will always be remembered as one of the best designers ever, he doesn’t need to add more to his legacy.
3. Bernicio Del Toro Leaves Star Trek 2 – Probably a big mistake on his part. If it was his decision. The Star Trek sequel is hugely anticipated and the villain will get a lot of focus. Del Toro is a good actor and could make for an interesting villain. Hopefully they will be able to take this opportunity to get someone even better.
4. Alec Baldwin Upsets the Friendly Skies – So apparently Alec decided that playing Words with Friends was really important. He was recently kicked off American Airlines for refusing to put his phone away. He complained about it on Twitter, and then quit Twitter. Now first I applaud the airline for kicking him off, he broke the rules and that is what happens. But why quit Twitter. It’s America and the Internet. If you aren’t complaining about something on the internet and you live in America you might be Canadian.
5. Community Put on Hiatus – I really enjoy most of the NBC Thursday night comedy block. But it seems I am in the minority. I find Community to be fantastic, it is this fun little quirky show that reminds me a little of Arrested Development. Not as funny, but still really good. Unfortunately, due to ratings the show was put on hiatus. Hopefully it won’t last too long and it will be back and continue working its way to six seasons and a movie.
