Ceaseless

The premeire of the final season of The Sopranos was a reminder of what's wrong with America. We are a nation of people that are more interested in hype than information. Case in point is the celebrity interview --- something our nation apparantly loves for some reason. An interview is, by definition, an exchange of information. Put celebrity in front of the word interview and it means an exchange of information in which the painfully obvious is stated. That's why I was cringing so hard I was gripping my chair during the intro to The Sopranos. All of the featured actors were interviewed druing some sort of premeire even. And guess what they all said? "Uh, yeah, this is going to be the best season of The Sopranos ever." Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. And maybe we'd all be better off if we didn't ask questions of people who have little if any responsibility for the scripts they read. Just start the show without making me vomit.
