It's like I have ESPN or something


In between un-packing and packing, I caught up on "Big Love" - a show that I heart, heart, HEART! The show has a remarkably strong cast, and I'm particularly fond of Ginnifer Goodwin, Tina Majorino and Chloe Sevigny.

But, I've been very impressed with Amanda Seyfried. She first emerged on my radar as Karen, the ditzy, big-boobed "plastic" on "Mean Girls." I watched her in an interview about the role and deduced that she was pretty vapid in real-life, so the "acting" must not have been much of a stretch for her.

Then, she appeared as Lily Kane in "Veronica Mars" (RIP) and I thought she played a slight variation on her Karen character. Lily actually was a more dynamic character and I started to appreciate Amanda's talents a bit more.

Now, on "Big Love" I sort of find her mesmerizing. She's fantastic as the teenager who's caught between her polygamist family and her desire to fit into the rest of "normal" society.

Internets, I don't care whether Amanda's boobs can already tell it's raining in real life. She's pretty cool in my book.

Damn straight -- Amanda Seyfried is BRINGING IT on Big Love. Chet from Weird Science is a tool and all he does is get in the way of me watching all these chicks (Tina Majorino, Ginnifer Goodwin, Grace Zabriskie, Chloe Sevigny, et. al.). Poor kid is just tortured from every direction ... I didn't know you were watching this show, Panda -- we must get together and strategerize soon.
