Are you turning on the TV or getting turned on by the TV? Are you eating candy at the movies; or are you watching movie eye candy? If Channing Tatum goes shirtless one more time, I’ll go bananas.

Times are-a changing. In the words of Lois from Family Guy “It seems today all we see is violence in movies and sex on TV.” How true! Shout Out to Seth MacFarlane.

Men are sexualized the most in movies. Women are objectified more often on television. I challenge you to surf through the channels. What do you see?

TV Turn-Ons

Keeping Up With the Kardashians is nothing without Kim. She’s the main attraction. Although Kendall Jenner is a star, Reality TV revolves around Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian is a major turn-on to millions. You might not watch her show but you look at her Facebook and Instagram. It’s hard to miss her.

Recently, Kardashian’s brand expanded into apps. Do you play the Kardashian video game? Is it fun?

Reality star and model Joanna Krupa turns heads clockwise and counter clockwise. Do you have the time? Also, do you watch the Real Housewives?

The beautiful Kerry Washington plays Olivia Pope to perfection on Scandal. She is one of my favorites. Read 19 Best Black and Latina Actresses.

Anna Paquin sucks the blood out of a turnip. TheTrue Blood star plays Sookie Stackhouse all the way. When I’m not keeping up with the Kardashians, I keep up with Anna. She is a true TV turn-on at heart.

Park and Recreation relies on Rashida Jones. Although Amy Poehler is the lead, Jones carries that show with her ‘girl next door’ sex appeal. Her passion makes Park and Recreation a really great show to watch.

HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and Starz display the sexiest TV turn-ons and movie eye candy. You have the privilege of viewing premium content. Do you watch Game of Thrones? Why are all the girls naked? Once again, women are objectified the most on TV.

Movie Eye Candy

Where is Channing Tatum’s competition? Tatum’s celebrity skyrocketed in the last three years. He’s the #1 movie eye candy.

Why do you like Channing so much? He is an excellent actor with perfect sex appeal. Now imagine him with perfect acting skills.

He’s destined to be the most compensated actor of all time. You watch. Tatum is Clooney and Pitt combined.

Upcoming actors, pay close attention to Channing’s career. The man does action, comedy, and romance. Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself?

Dwayne Johnson epitomizes movie eye candy. He is this generation’s Sylvester Stallone. Have you seen G.I. Joe, Pain & Gain and Hercules?

He sets the bar high. He works hard to be the best. Johnson’s body is a lucrative asset.

The Rock’s fan base is solid as a rock. As long as he stays in shape, he’ll stay on top. Don’t worry, fans. He’ll lift weights forever.

Movie eye candy Ryan Reynolds is definitely in the top 5. Can you believe he’s been acting since 1993? He still looks young.

You should see The Proposal. Sparks fly between Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. They should get married.

True or False, Ryan goes shirtless in every movie. Would you rather eat candy or watch Reynolds flex his muscles? Don’t answer. I already know.

Mark Wahlberg takes excellent care of his body. As soon as he wakes up, he’s in the gym. I’m convinced that he sleeps at Planet Fitness.

Mark Wahlberg has carefully molded a bad boy image. But he still got those good vibrations. I just want Marky Mark to come out of retirement, and rap a song with Eminem and Vanilla Ice!

It just dawned on me that Marshall Mathers stole Wahlberg’s rap name (M.M.) Well, Mark stole parts of the Beach Boys’ song. So it’s a wash.

Best Personalities

Oprah Winfrey, or should I say ‘O’ like Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton, is the best personality ever. Oprah has helped millions realize their full potential including her OWN partner Tyler Perry. As a writer, my lifelong goal is to chat with Ms. Winfrey over a ‘grande’ cup of Starbucks. I’d foot the bill.

I read The Secret because of Oprah’s talk show. And the book sparked new ideas in me. Celebrities from all walks of life admire, respect and love Oprah.

Some go as far as to call her goddess. I won’t go that far. But she is the queen.

I’m old enough to recall Ellen DeGeneres’s standup days. Her legs are strong because she’s a standup gal. She seems to be a genuine and kind person.

Ellen personifies graciousness, humility, and charity. Actions speak louder than words. It’s a little bit cliché but the Ellen Show is a breath of fresh air everyday.

Even though I haven’t watched it in a while, I’m still her supporter. She has all the qualities a good host needs. Ellen is a top talk show host and a great personality.

He is the guy behind the scenes of the #1 TV turn-on Kim Kardashian. He is our generation’s Regis Philbin. Ryan Seacrest is a household name.

He loves to talk. Does he talk too much? Maybe.

But he brings the excitement. His legendary work ethic is unmatched. Whenever he talks we listen because he makes it sound more important than it is.

In full disclosure I haven’t watch American Idol since its peak run in 2010. Who remembers Pants On the Ground? And yet, it’s funny how things connect.

Ellen DeGeneres served as a judge the same year Simon Cowell left. Ryan remains the one constant. In fact, the Seacrest brand is stronger than American Idol. And, you ring in the New Year with Ryan.

Jimmy Fallon has fans on the moon now. The self-proclaimed astrophysicist discovered how to be everywhere. It’s virtually impossible to browse your favorite website without encountering Jimmy Fallon.

He’s a versatile entertainer who is even loved by his haters. He falls somewhere between the most interesting man in the world and the cookie monster. I don’t know why his comedic stunts are so infectious. They just are…

Boardwalk Empire And Monopoly Money

Why Boardwalk Empire Played With Monopoly Money

It is sad to see Boardwalk Empire end after the 5th season. But, every empire must collapse eventually. The successful show played with Monopoly money.

We all want to own Boardwalk in Monopoly. But gangster Enoch “Nucky” Thompson has the deed. If you value your life, pay him or face the consequences.

Boardwalk Empire played with Monopoly money because their expenditures were unreal. I know for certain that their finance and production departments argued all the time. The accountant’s job is to keep expenses low.

But a big budget was necessary for the HBO show. You can’t make the Great Gatsby on a shoestring budget. So, I understand the high cost.

Nothing compares to Boardwalk Empire. It is literally a monopoly. Although Game of Thrones is incredible, it is in a different genre. Plus Boardwalk has the best cast on television. And, their actors are well established.

What more do we want? There are compelling characters and spectacles, and an intriguing script. Boardwalk Empire is HBO’s boldest statement yet.

We are teleported to the 1920s like an Aziz Ansari joke. When I watch the Empire, I feel as if I am there. After the hour is up, I get back to reality.

Do you realize Boardwalk Empire’s greatness? I appreciate how carefully they pay attention to details. The writers do not get enough credit for their work.

Buyers beware. Boardwalk Empire is a drug. Take it in small doses; or you’ll become addicted.

“Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail.”

My only complaint with the Empire (doesn’t that sound like Star Wars) is it has untapped potential. Why isn’t Mark Wahlberg in front of the camera? I get that he wants to be the boss, but he is wasting his acting talent as a producer.

I challenge you to watch the Departed. It is very violent but it shows Wahlberg from another angle. Can you picture Mark on the cast of Boardwalk?

Also, can you imagine the show as a movie? Make Martin Scorsese the director. In a sense, Boardwalk Empire is already the T.V. equivalent of the Godfather.

The Godfather is crucial to counter culture as well as pop culture. It is highly regarded by fans and critically acclaimed. Steve Buscemi is Marlon Brando.

Like the Godfather, the talent is topnotch. The addition of Jeffrey Wright to the cast in season 4 was a wise choice. Jeffrey plays an exceptional authority figure.

I watched the entire 4^th season. All the episodes were impressive. My favorite episode is #43 “William Wilson.”

Jeremy Podeswa is an actor’s director. Episode #43 is flawless because of him. I can’t wait for his next projects.

If you like your American history class, then you will like Boardwalk Empire. Boardwalkreimagines the Prohibition Era. You’ll learn just how easy things were back in the day.

Although the ratings fell in Season 4, I still believe it is the best. What is your favorite season? See invitation to the set here.

Do you like action, drama and suspense? Tune in Sundays this September to watch new episodes. This is it.

From the start, Boardwalk Empire began with a bang. They spent $18 million to make the pilot episode. They’ll probably spend $20 million making the series finale.

I hope the writers and producers take a page out of the Sopranos script. Who can forget that famous ending? Rest in peace James Gandolfini.

Fading to black is classic. But, the Boardwalk Empire needs a unique ending because it is legendary. If anybody can paint a masterpiece, it is Terrence Winter.

The finale must look at the big picture. What are you trying to accomplish? Have you exceeded expectations?

Boardwalk Empire dominated HBO for half a decade. It struck back like Star Wars. It still is an original work of art.

They not only played with Monopoly money; they played with fire. Nowadays, breaking taboos is important. If you are politically incorrect, you’re forced to apologize.

Oligarchy

Ironically Game of Thrones dethroned Boardwalk Empire. It was an oligarchy instead of a monopoly. And yet, Boardwalk kept playing with Monopoly money.

What if Boardwalk Empire adjusted? What if it cut the budget in half, making way for two or three additional seasons? Is it too late to save the empire from falling?

I feel Thrones and Empire need each other. In fact, they both serve different purposes. You see you get the fantasy with the Game and the reality with Boardwalk.

When I create my show I want to build it to last forever. Boardwalk Empire sets the stage for newbies and amateurs. My show will use Boardwalk Empire to serve as a model.

I love how Boardwalkbuilds up to the climax. You never know what will happen next. The plot twists and thickens.

The reason why Boardwalk Empire played with Monopoly money is because all along the game was rigged. Gangsters acquired assets illegally and unethically.

Crime ran rampant in Atlantic City. Not even your thoughts were safe. You answered to a higher power named Enoch but his friends called him Nucky.

Corrupt politicians, crooked cops and mob bosses plotted together. They united around an unjust cause. Bootlegging made many millionaires and millions of victims.

Boardwalk is a pricy ‘vacay’ down memory lane. Only our grandparents know the actual truth. And so, we speculate.

Why

We young people are opting out of cable. That’s why great shows are ending before their time. Satellite and cable companies are not getting the memo.

These corporations think they can charge the moon. Well, keep it up and see what happens. It is a mutual exchange.

If you want to attract a younger audience, either lower the service price significantly; or fade to black like the last Sopranos episode. Boardwalk Empire is ending but this isn’t bad news. For every ending there is a new beginning.
