Filler

Cow watched an entire season of "Moonlight" in two nights. How? By fast-forwarding through all the fights, bad guys and marginal characters without charisma or interest.

Doug Liman of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" seems to be the only director who gets it. The audience doesn't care about the bad guys. Even if it's Heath Ledger, would much rather watch Christian Bale. Monsters fighting Buffy, Bond-assassins, Superman-evildoers, Ironman plotters...they're all filler.

Cow wishing she could recut these moovies herself, leaving just the "good parts." Whee! Those would be some goooood moovies! And life, too. No more waiting in lines, getting ready for work, doing the dishes, boring conversations. Just the exciting parts, please.

Uh-oh.

Cow just realizing she doesn't HAVE any exciting parts, and thus would be trimmed out of existence.

Moo!

The bits in between the good parts of life are indeed inclined to be boring.

Dog: some were good (Cow admits) especially the dogfights...(there were some, right?)
