JAZA watches a lot of TV (and reviews Spider-Man)
This is:
a. A still photo from Pretty In Pink or The Last Days of Disco.
b. The deleted scene from Say Anything before the boombox at the window sequence.
c. Ayala Corporation chairman and CEO Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala in college.
d. A lot of hair and he still has it, though in a different shade.
Thanks to Jaime’s pernicious influence we have been watching a lot of television lately. But not on television—technology has liberated us from the tyranny of the time slot. These are the TV shows Jaime has watched/is watching on assorted gadgets.
1. The Wire
2. Mad Men
3. Justified
4. The Killing
5. The Office (both Brit and US versions)
6. Breaking Bad
7. House
8. Dexter
9. Suits
10. The Sopranos
11. Game of Thrones
12. The Good Wife
13. Homeland
CEO review of The Amazing Spider-Man: Loved Spider-Man, by the way. How the hell does Andrew Garfield get away with still pretending he is a high school kid? Was he not already an adult in Red Riding (Note: Deeply depressing British series about the hunt for the serial killer known as the Yorkshire Ripper), and then a college kid in Social Network? He is moving backwards. What next, primary school?

JAZA is watching/has watched Suits? Oh, be still my beating heart! It’s the first show that I have marathoned in quite a long time. Love.

I recommend Aaron Sorkin’s (of West Wing fame) new series “The Newsroom”.
The first 6 minutes were awesome. In the words of Stephen Colbert (to Sorkin himself), “Nobody talks like that!”

Awesome selection of TV series. The Office (both versions) is hilarious!
Ruma- Rob Lowe ang peg ni JAZA back in the day ehehe.

One show that was intelligent and I wish never got canceled was Rubicon.

Also, if you really want spy action that doesn’t have 24’s cliches, your best bet would be BBC’s Spooks. Peter Firth is amazing as Section D’s Director, Harry Pierce. Then there’s the revolving cast of characters who play the MI-5 agents, including the likes of (BBC geeks should by now know who these actors are in one show or another) Matthew Macfadyen, Rupert Penry Jones, Hermione Norris, and Richard Armitage taking turns as team lead. The retirement benefits suck at this show, if you know what I mean.

You’d have 10 seasons worth of episodes to check out (the series concluded last year). The good thing is that BBC’s TV seasons aren’t as lengthy as American series.

I am blown away by his TV fare. Great taste! Would he like to take a respite from all the gloom and doom and watch Arrested Development?
