The Funniest TV Show, The Mindy Project.

does everyone here love to see comedy tv shows like How I Met Your Mother, New Girl, or Raising Hope?
I DO.
and i hope you guys do to.
cause i am about to rock your world by giving a tv show recommendation, especially for those who are lonely and sometimes say that they have nothing to do while they have gigantic amounts of homework (that sounds like me, actually).

i'm gonna introduce you to the funniest tv show on tv (of course, thats why its called 'tv show' you dummy) /talking to myself/

according to my opinion (oh no, shit just got serious..)

the funniest tv show goes to...

THE MINDY PROJECT


its basically about a successful Indian woman in her early 30s and works as a gynecologist and obstetrician.
do you what those words mean? if you dont, this is your lucky day, my friend, knowing as many vocabularies is a good thing.
gynecologist basically means a doctor who deals with women organs
while 
obstetrician means a doctor who deals with pregnancy and delivering babies

lets continue

that women is Mindy Lahiri who works in a practice called Shulman & Associates along with another 3 doctors (Danny, Jeremy and Peter), she really likes watching romcom which explains why her favorite movie is You've Got Mail played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
Mindy is not very lucky in love, she is trying to find her true love and seems to always fail.
she is aware of her weight and appearance, but yet, what i like from her is that she isnt ashamed of it, she brings out the best of her to everyone and tries to cover up negative things about her by cheering people up. 

these are the main casts:

Mindy Kaling as Dr. Mindy Lahiri - Ob/Gyn
Chris Messina as Dr. Danny Castellano - Ob/Gyn
Edward Weeks as Dr. Jeremy Reed - Ob/Gyn
Adam Pally as Dr. Peter Prentice - Ob/Gyn
Ike Barinholtz as Nurse Morgan
Zoe Jarman as Betsey Putch 
Beth Grant as Beverly
Xosha Roquemore as Tamra

reasons:
this show is frankly, VERY HILARIOUS. you wont find any cheesy jokes followed with laugh sounds which is annoyingly creepy and also crappy by the way. also, once you watch the show, youre gonna love all the characters and you'll be very obsessed with them (well, at least thats for me). this show is very modern, kinda edgy, but also classy. it tells you about real life problems such as dating, being obese and many other things. last but not least, every week, there will be different guest stars!

for your information, this show has reached its second season.
so if you guys do want to watch it (im hoping that you do), i suggest you watch it from the very beginning, so that you wouldnt get confused or anything.

OH ALSO ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING.
if you dont have tv cabels like indovision or aora or whatsoever
please dont worry
you can check out www.couchtuner.eu
they have complete seasons of any tv shows!
here is a little sneak peek




The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

i bet everyone (mainly teenagers) is already familiar with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, right? 
it has been approximately 2 weeks since the movie was ranked #1 on IMDb charts.

 how much money do you think the production house made? the answer is...
 *drumroll* 


 over 250 millions USD! in only two weeks by the way.
 what?! now i feel like i am the poorest person in the world. 
(i know that i've made a regular-sized sin just by saying this, considering that there are lots of people in Africa who are starved :( #PrayForAfrica)
anyway, the production house really deserve all the rewards. i mean, they worked hard for this and it pays off. there's actually only one word i have to describe this movie. 
F-A-S-C-I-N-A-T-I-N-G.


first thing first!
these are the main casts:

Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen
Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark
Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne
Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket
Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy
Lenny Kravitz as Cinna
Donald Sutherland as President Snow
Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee


The movie starts with a clarification to the audience that Gale and Katniss are into each other, but their love story is interrupted by President Snow. he visits Katniss' home in District 12 and tells Katniss that he knows everything about all the lies regarding Katniss and Peeta's love affection, he even starts to persuade Katniss into doing another fake acting with Peeta during their tour, considering that they are the most popular couple in The Capitol and everyone loves them being together. Otherwise, he threatens Katniss that he will even hurt her family.
It gets a little intense when Katniss finds out that the officials agrees to enact what is called as Quarter Quell, which basically means all of the remaining Hunger Games winners will be fighting against each other in the arena.
Surprisingly, in the end, all of the participants agree to stick together against The Capitol, largely, President Snow.

This is such a brilliant movie that is adapted from also brilliant trilogy books by Suzanne Collins. There are some parts of the movie that talk about science theories (which, IRONICALLY ENOUGH, i dont understand). I think that this movie is a whole-package, it has romance, affections, drama, actions, and not to mention this movie is also crazily thrilling for me.   
I love the fact that Peeta and Katniss gets some kind of vibes for each other in the middle of the movie, but what about Gale? hmm scandalous, right? 

HOWEVER
i am still not over the fact that it ends with a cliffhanger, leaving the audiences wonder about what is going to happen next. that is cruel, Hollywood. you would be as mad as me by the time you watch it!

self reflection:
If i were Katniss, i'd be also pissed as *censors* and prolly kill all the officials in The Capitol with my archery skills!
