The O.C. – The 10th Anniversary

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/42540977]

In the midst on some craziness last week, we completely forgot all about celebrating the 10 year anniversary of The O.C. Not only did the television series provide a somewhat accurate representation of what it’s like to live in Orange County (kind of,) but they also paved the way for what would become some of the best soundtracks a television series could offer. The cast was full of beautiful people each with characters that were well-developed and complex throughout the season. Marissa Cooper, there is no one like you on TV and there never will be! Ryan Atwood was the bad boy turned sensitive bro and we loved every second of it. And last, but not least – Seth and Summer. There is no one more perfect for each other than these two. We laughed, cried, and were terrified for our lives especially during that weird “Oliver” period. The show taught us some incredible lessons – lessons at 13 that I am still carrying on in life today. I wouldn’t be able to tell you them right now, but we’ll save that for the 20th anniversary. So on this Wednesday – Hump Day – we are celebrating the anniversary. I’ve included the entire first episode above and we all know how great this pilot was so take 44 minutes out of your day, relax, and enjoy the show. Unfortunately, Mischa Barton spoke out about rumors of a reunion earlier this week and her thoughts that it should not happen. Really? It might do your career some good Mischa. Regardless, the show will live on and we’ll love it forever.

Welcome to the O.C. bitch.

And because we want this to come around full circle… my favorite clip from the last episode. Spoiler alert. What have you been doing with your time if you haven’t seen this by now?

Homecoming

I guess I shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up with this film. I recently was reading my daily news and saw that this movie was coming out, but it turns out it was released in 2008. It must have made the news because of it’s release on Lifetime, which is where I watched it last night. I had high hopes because this one of the only acting gigs I had seen Mischa Barton in since her OC days – and the film was directed by Morgan Freeman. He’s a pretty decent actor, yes – but how was he has a director? So-so.

In the story of Homecoming, Mike [Matt Long] and Shelby [Mischa Barton] were the small town’s perfect couple. Everyone knew who they were and everyone thought that they would stay together forever. We all know that that rarely ever happens, but a girl can hope. Mike went away to college and one year later he brought back his new girlfriend Elizabeth [Jessica Stroup] for the homecoming ceremony. Shelby, however, still thought that they were together during the school year- weird. Anyways, Shelby tries to win back Mike while he’s home and kidnaps Elizabeth even though that wasn’t her initial plan.

Basically, Shelby’s crazy. I ended up rooting for Elizabeth the whole time naturally and developed a like/hate relationship w/ Mike. I expected Mischa to prove her acting skills in this film, but she kind of just let me down. Maybe it’s because I’ll always see her as Marissa Cooper. She may have done some crazy things in her time, but  Marissa Cooper would never kidnap any girlfriend of Ryan’s.
