QE Review Ep. 29 - Philly R.
QE Review:
Episode 2.29 Philly Rojas – Straight Outta Brooklyn
1st Aired in SA: 19 April 06
Rating: Fabulous
That Brooklyn accent is hysterical. I do confuse it with Boston’s Rob accent but I love how all the Brooklyn peeps talk their own lingo.
I love how the Fab 5 went with the whole hip-hop thing flow.
I loved Thom doing the running man in da sneaker slippers.
Philly’s art was amazing and that was done when he was at high school level!
Think this was the first time the straight guy has driven any of the Fab 5 around. That car was cool though.
I love how Carson finds a bowling ball and examines it and he’s like what is this? Then he drops it and is amazed!
I’ve said this before but the Fab 5 really do care about the straight guy and what they can do to help him and it really is touching. It warms my heart every time I see something like this. So, they even did up Philly’s car, the Britney Tube, which made him so happy and made Kyan happy when Philly used a metaphor about them fixing up his life.
Thom knows a lot about sport actually!
Carson should register trademark “Let’s make fashion happen!”
Kyan pulls out Crest Whitestrips Premium all the time; I sorta feel like I have to have them now.
Jai and Thom think the car is cute.
That song that went ‘super bon bon’ was used for an opening sequence of an episode of Homicide. Very distinctive.
I thought that measuring cup that Ted got for Philly was very clever because it had graduations at an angle for if you’re pouring, you can tell what the volume is.
Thom is so animated when he watches that screen in the loft. He was staring at the screen for quite awhile after the story had ended: Wonder what he was thinking, or not thinking?
I really think this is fascinating: that steam will help clear up a problematic complexion.
I love how in Ted’s Hip Tip he explains the going ons of “wine geeks” and for do the swirl, he says “don’t overdo it, you might stain your date.”
Philly was a really good shaver too! You know, the straight guys on this show are (mostly) really sweet guys.
Quotes:
Carson: “These backstore boys need to kick his backstreet ass.”
Thom (trying to figure out if Phil has done ‘something’ to the Britney cut-out to have made it sticky): “’Cause it sticks to the wall and I don’t see any tape.”
Ted (walking around holding a saw): “Anybody got any unnecessary limbs?”
The Co-Worker: “He does pay attention to his look: It’s just horrible.”
Philly: “You know it’s funny, ‘cause we were fixing the inside of my car and it was like we were fixing the inside of me.”
Kyan: “Did you just use a metaphor? Ohmigod, you used a metaphor!”
Thom: “We kept your TV. Only because it was so big I couldn’t get it out of the apartment.”
Ted: “This is a salad spinner…” (He flips the top open) “And it’s happy to see you.”
Kyan: “He just left all those beer bottles on the table.”
Carson: “And all the light on. Doesn’t he realize our fossil fuels are dwindling?”
Carson: “She’s either still in love or wants to play hide-the-salami later. One or the other. Discuss.”
Jai: “You guys, he’s Puerto Rican. It’s not a little surprise.”
The Ex: “Wow, a chrome refrigerator.”
Thom: “No. Stainless steel, people. Hello.”
Carson (about the name, Philly Rojas): “Sounds like a Mexican cheese stake.”
Ted: “Two words sum up his wardrobe: Hip and hop.”
Carson: “He dresses up like AJ from the Backstreet Boys to get into clubs for free and to get free drinks. And that’s how he met his second wife, Lori. One night in Las Vegas they staggered into a chapel and the next morning he woke up at the MGM Grand with a wedding band. Ohmigod, that is so Britney!” [Ironically, this guy is Britney crazy.]
Kyan: “Ode to Britney.”
Carson: “I think he’s been sitting at home having a pity party.”
Kyan: “We need to crash the pity party.”
Kyan (about Thom expecting food at Philly’s place): “Thom, you don’t need another Philly cheesecake.”
Philly (to Thom’s interrogation of why there are toys in the house and no kids): “Are the toys wrong?”
Ted [really good with a cape by the way]: “We should bring back the cape.”
Jai (to Carson): “Trust me, this is nothing. I found another closet.”
Jai and Carson dressed in Philly’s hip-hop outfits:
Jai: “Yo, wot’s up homes?”
Carson: “How you doing?”
Jai: “I’m doing good. I’m just saying we’ve made a mess homes.”
Jai (to Philly about his decked out car): “Are you a pimp?”
Thom (about a painting of a lady): “I feel like maybe we need to sign him up with a therapist.”
Thom (dressed in Philly’s clothes with his work name tag on): “My name is Phil Rojas and I’d like a promotion.”
Thom (holding a block of wood; to Carson dressed like a ninja): “You’re going to chop that in half? Ohmigod” (Thom rolls his eyes!)
Ted (to Carson who has offered up some stinky items to smell): “Thanks, trying to quit.”
Carson: “Ew, flesh-coloured underwear.”
Others: “Ew.”
Thom: “I’ve gotta get outta here. I can’t look at your drop ceilings for another second.”
Carson: “Let’s read about Britney.”
Carson: “Yo, wot up dog… Why are you Puerto Rican and I’m darker?”
Philly: “I dunno.”
Thom (shopping with Philly): “Ohmigod, look at all these sofas. Don’t you feel like you’re in therapy?”
Best Straight Guy Quote Ever:
Ted: “Do you get what we wanna do when we match a wine to food?”
Philly: “It’s like matching beer to the right sandwich.”
Thom (about getting rid of the drop ceiling): “And now it doesn’t look like you live in a supermarket.”
Kyan (in a Brooklyn accent): “It’s a beard trimmer!”
Philly: “Is that a hint?”
Ted: “I think we’ve got a little culture guy.”
Thom (leaving, in the car): “He was a real pleasure that little one.”
Philly (in the house, with a beer): “Oh, you guys.”
Kyan (so disappointed): “Clean the beers up, dude. Get the beers.”
Carson: “Did she say Dockers?! Is she smoking crack!!?”
Carson: “You might not want to tell your employer you’re a quitter.”
Philly: “Yous. You can dress the boy up but you can’t take the Brooklyn out of the boy… The Fab 5 gave me the kick in the ass…”
Thom: “He’s trying so hard… (loss for words)…it actually…(loss for words)…makes…
Carson: “It’s heart-warming.”
Thom: “It’s heart warming.”
Philly missed his employee review while he was with the boys:
Ted: “Oh no!”
Thom: “That place was a D.U.M.P., dump.”
Thom (about Lori’s passive “wow”): “She’s very articulate.”
Carson: “Just wow?”
Philly says he has a surprise:
Ted: “Is this a Jai trick?”
Jai: “No, it wasn’t me.”
Carson (Philly can’t open the wine): “Just when you thought they knew… It might splatter his couture… Put it between your legs.”
(Philly resorts to beers and the boys freak out.)

The Best Shows
Best Shows on SA TV at the mo (in no particular order):
Have said this before, “North Shore”;
“Grey’s Anatomy”: Love it; love all the cast but I have to admit, Patrick Dempsey is easy on the eyes (and the heart), and Meredith Grey is a wonderful character played by a lovely actress, Ellen Pompeo;
“Numb3rs”: Rob Morrow, my fav from the days of Northern Exposure, is much older now but in a very sexy role, and I love the mix of an academic’s mind with that of the FBI’s. Quality show;
“Boston Legal”: Yes, James Spader, the original Daniel Jackson, plays a one-of-a-kind lawyer, and he’s hot;
“Threshold”: we’re 2 weeks into it and the premise is fascinating but the lack of an opening sequence with any of the regular cast’s names and the fact that everybody from Enterprise is on this show, worries me (I enjoy watching Brent Spiner in this role though);
“Supernatural”: Now which idiots said that those two guys couldn’t carry a show?;
“Queer Eye”: Those boys do the world a lot of good. Just face it;
“Huff”: The first season ended in such an original, brilliant way!
The show that is the most disappointing but I’ll watch it to see if it reaches it’s potential: “The 4400”.

Carlos Bernard
Carlos is perhaps best known for his role as CTU Agent Tony Almeida on the hit show “24”. About a year and a half ago I sent Carlos fan mail and I recently heard back from him. I think it’s great: It may take actors some time to get to their fan mail but it is wonderful that he got to read my mail and send back a response! So Carlos, if you ever read this: Thank you!
Happy Birthday David Hewlett!
It’s David Hewlett’s birthday today, April 18! Have a great day David!
Supernatural
I’m loving this show. I’m already a Jensen Ackles fan from Dawson’s Creek and Smallville. Sci-Fans will pick up lines from the classics such as:
Dean and Sam walk past two male FBI agents in the pilot episode:
Dean: “Agent Mulder. Agent Scully.”
Dean and Sam are impersonating government agents, as per usual:
Dean: “I’m Agent Ford, this is Agent Hamill.”
Supernatural is screened on actionX, channel 6 on DSTV, on Thursdays at 22:00 and Wednesdays (Repeat) at 18:00.

Queer Eye Reviews
QE Reviews:
Queer Eye for the Red Sox
DVD available at Amazon.com
I’ve got to say that they have quality products. In fact, everything about the Queer Eye franchise is quality. From the show to the CD, DVDs, book, calendars, etc.
This DVD was so well done and I loved how they started off the episode. Very, very clever.
I really like it, because I’m a baseball fan and played baseball and softball until my injuries were too bad to go on. If I had the time, I would like to coach because I absolutely love the sport. It was so cool to see everyone playing baseball. Guess who was the best out of the Fab 5? I’d say Kyan and Ted. I can’t believe Thom throws like a girly man because he’s really strong. He should have the arm for it. Anyway, it looked like so much fun and the Red Sox guys were really good sports about it. The little league kids were so cute and they’re actually good. I mean, they were playing on a major league diamond! It was really so cute and so amazing that the Fab 5, the Red Sox, Dunkin Donuts and BJ Wholesalers (think I’ve got it right) raised enough money to have the little league’s field repaired because it was destroyed by a hurricane. That really is wonderful. I was touched. The music was also great to illustrate when it is emotional and when it’s time for fun.
Kyan couldn’t get enough of holding the ball box to his face and going “Luke, I am your father.” It was funny!
Carson, instead of saying E.S.P.N says “Ess-pin.” Oh, poor Carson but it’s funny. And Carson kept making comments that the kids just did not get. He asks the one kid who needs cleats in a bigger size if he can show him something in a sensible pump and the kid is like huh? And Carson is like never mind. I really loved how Carson is showing them the signs for bunting and stealing (tsjuzing his sleeve) and when he says if he is flicking his hair back, disregard it because it is just him fixing his hair, one kid laughs!
I loved how as soon as they get to the spa, Thom is getting treatments before the Red Sox!
I really liked the Red Sox players and their wives; they have great personalities, and are really hot!
Episode 2.28 Michael Coffino – Dhrama Dad
First Aired in SA: 12 April 2006
Rating: 5
Carson makes a good woman!
The Fab 5 are so good with the baby. The house really did look like a paediatric office. Thom’s idea for giving the baby his own separate space was really amazing.
Ted’s picking up Thom’s speech!
They rip off Jai a lot. OK, mostly Thom teases Jai calling him a cry baby and in his hip tip saying Jai, pick up your toys!
Michael, the straight guy, looked really hot after the Fab 5 were done with him. With the new wardrobe, clean-shaven and with the wonderful Feng Shui haircut based on his chi, he really looked like a different person and so much better. Kyan was really thrilled to be involved with the Chi haircut. Michael is also the best shaver ever!
Carson had a very valid point that shirts today are cut differently than vintage shirts because of our addiction to fast food!
Thom really bought out that entire shop (c.i.t.e.) to do Michael’s place.
I liked Ted’s outfit.
Thom’s idea of claw covers for the cats was a really good idea. I wonder how effective they are in preventing cats from messing up furniture.
I liked that Michael said that the Fab 5 really put thought into everything they do; it’s not some generic process. It is really clear that they do care about what they are doing and for the straight guy, obviously! I also liked the quote Michael used about been ready for this change: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”
Thom’s face was so funny while he was listening to Michael sing. I think Michael did a good job.
I liked seen Kyan in scientist gear for his hip tip.
If they think Michael’s diet is problematic, they’d freak if they knew mine!
Quotes:
Kyan: “Ohmigod, he’s a twig.”
Thom: “Would you like to come over for some fruit soup?”
Kyan (about Michael dressing like him): “Dressing like a gay Mormon.”
Michael (about doing karaoke): “I will do it with a zest and verve I reserve for making soup.”
Carson (about good underwear): “Everyone likes a nice basket, even if it’s not Easter.”
Carson (helping Ted with the drinks in the loft): “I’m garnishing, I’m garnishing.”
Kyan (about Michael been the best shaver ever): “Mindful shaving.”
Michael is killing all his prep time doing his hair:
Thom (about Kyan): “Hello, look who he learnt from.”
Kyan: “Hair is important people.”
Thom (about them pointing out that he put the mirror where it is so they can see the baby when they are eating): “I’m so glad that they totally understand I am a genius.” [Can’t deny this; it’s true!]
The baby is throwing out DVDs and CDs:
Thom: “It’s called discipline. Say no to the baby.”
Jai starts throwing books off the table in the loft:
All of them slapping Jai: “No!”
Thom: “Oh, he’s not done. You’re still going.”
Thom (about meditating instead of drinking): “OK, enough of this.”
Thom: “…trip over Toys ‘R us.”
Michael (to Thom): “Does it look like it bothers me?”
Episode 2.27: David Goldman – Conquering the Catwalk
First Aired in SA: 5 April 2006
Rating: 5
The boys were playing with a wet tampon in this episode!
I loved how Kyan jumped up to wash his hands after Jess tells him the Rubik’s Cube has “faecal matter all over it”.
Thom gives a lesson in painting during this episode! So cool to see how he actually works. The paint, the tape, the floors, the little outfits.
Jai’s also quite the decorator.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen Kyan cooking something in the kitchen with Ted and the straight guy.
Quotes:
Carson (about how short David is): “I like to call it ‘Handy take home size’.”
Jai: “Ooh, a red door.”
Carson: “It’s very Elizabeth Arden.”
Kyan: “He makes his own furniture. It’s a problem.”
Carson (about a smell): “It’s like 10 000 locker rooms.”
Jai (holding a huge syringe): “Well, actually, I started my profession as a nurse. But what happened was, along the way, I kept on losing patients.”
Carson: “The hills are alive with the sound of bad footwear.”
Kyan: “It’s a coat hanger dude.”
David: “Don’t belittle me.”
Kyan: “I’m just stating the facts… Then you stand in the shower with the electrical device, which always seems like a good idea… It’s like you’re grooming a poodle. You’re not a poodle dude.”
Carson (love the way he said this): “Because you’re a business partner… You’re the Pra of Prada.”
Thom:
(About the wall colour): “It looks like a piñata got run over by a car.”
(About David’s homemade furniture): “This is how you make things? Dude, this is crazy. It’s like stupid.”
(About a painting): “It looks like old pantyhose. Someone got shot.”
(Searching through the fridge): “What do these people eat? Doesn’t look like they eat food.”
(Letting David be gay): “You don’t have to be so mean about it Mr Decorator Thom.”
(About using colours): “…in a way that won’t make your eyes bleed.”
(About using a dragging brush): “Doesn’t mean you have to dress as a woman when you are doing it.”
Carson (about David’s waving): “No, not with a little monkey.”
David about if Jess chooses the colours for their home: “… look like highlighters.”
Hip Tip: “Get a hue.”
Carson: “I feel like Cindefella at the ball… At both of them.”
David: “I’m going to throw up.”
Carson (trying on clothes as well): “Don’t have time to shop.”
Ted mentions that David hasn’t got into the cooking part of his Jewish religion:
David: “Yeah, my rabbi hasn’t taught me any of the cooking.”
Ted: “Nouveau kugel if you will.”
Carson: “I love you more than my Louie.”
Jai: “Trust me, that means a lot.”
Ted: “Thom, I think she either likes it or she’s having a seizure.”
This was the worst straight guy speed shaving I’ve ever seen, and heard! He even spreads some shaving cream on his tongue and tastes it. Kyan says: “What a weirdo.”
Kyan (about David in the jeans): “What an ass.”
Carson: “Those are some good assets.”
Thom: “He actually looks better than anyone I’ve seen.”
Thom (about David): “You little peanut.”
Carson: “They’re the perfect accessory for each other.”
Thom: “Shake it, don’t break it.”
Thom: “You don’t want your home to look like a colour wheel.”
Carson: “Grant me the serenity to read care labels.”

With the new wardrobe, clean-shaven and with the wonderful Feng Shui haircut based on his chi, he really looked like a different person and so much better. Kyan was really thrilled to be involved with the Chi haircut. Michael is also the best shaver ever!
Carson had a very valid point that shirts today are cut differently than vintage shirts because of our addiction to fast food!
Thom really bought out that entire shop (c.i.t.e.) to do Michael’s place.
I liked Ted’s outfit.
Thom’s idea of claw covers for the cats was a really good idea. I wonder how effective they are in preventing cats from messing up furniture.
I liked that Michael said that the Fab 5 really put thought into everything they do; it’s not some generic process. It is really clear that they do care about what they are doing and for the straight guy, obviously! I also liked the quote Michael used about been ready for this change: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”
Thom’s face was so funny while he was listening to Michael sing. I think Michael did a good job.
I liked seen Kyan in scientist gear for his hip tip.
If they think Michael’s diet is problematic, they’d freak if they knew mine!
Quotes:
Kyan: “Ohmigod, he’s a twig.”
Thom: “Would you like to come over for some fruit soup?”
Kyan (about Michael dressing like him): “Dressing like a gay Mormon.”
Michael (about doing karaoke): “I will do it with a zest and verve I reserve for making soup.”
Carson (about good underwear): “Everyone likes a nice basket, even if it’s not Easter.”
Carson (helping Ted with the drinks in the loft): “I’m garnishing, I’m garnishing.”
Kyan (about Michael been the best shaver ever): “Mindful shaving.”
Michael is killing all his prep time doing his hair:
Thom (about Kyan): “Hello, look who he learnt from.”
Kyan: “Hair is important people.”
Thom (about them pointing out that he put the mirror where it is so they can see the baby when they are eating): “I’m so glad that they totally understand I am a genius.” [Can’t deny this; it’s true!]
The baby is throwing out DVDs and CDs:
Thom: “It’s called discipline. Say no to the baby.”
Jai starts throwing books off the table in the loft:
All of them slapping Jai: “No!”
Thom: “Oh, he’s not done. You’re still going.”
Thom (about meditating instead of drinking): “OK, enough of this.”
Thom: “…trip over Toys ‘R us.”
Michael (to Thom): “Does it look like it bothers me?”
Episode 2.27: David Goldman – Conquering the Catwalk
First Aired in SA: 5 April 2006
Rating: 5
The boys were playing with a wet tampon in this episode!
I loved how Kyan jumped up to wash his hands after Jess tells him the Rubik’s Cube has “faecal matter all over it”.
Thom gives a lesson in painting during this episode! So cool to see how he actually works. The paint, the tape, the floors, the little outfits.
Jai’s also quite the decorator.
I think this is the first time I’ve seen Kyan cooking something in the kitchen with Ted and the straight guy.
Quotes:
Carson (about how short David is): “I like to call it ‘Handy take home size’.”
Jai: “Ooh, a red door.”
Carson: “It’s very Elizabeth Arden.”
Kyan: “He makes his own furniture. It’s a problem.”
Carson (about a smell): “It’s like 10 000 locker rooms.”
Jai (holding a huge syringe): “Well, actually, I started my profession as a nurse. But what happened was, along the way, I kept on losing patients.”
Carson: “The hills are alive with the sound of bad footwear.”
Kyan: “It’s a coat hanger dude.”
David: “Don’t belittle me.”
Kyan: “I’m just stating the facts… Then you stand in the shower with the electrical device, which always seems like a good idea… It’s like you’re grooming a poodle. You’re not a poodle dude.”
Carson (love the way he said this): “Because you’re a business partner… You’re the Pra of Prada.”
Thom:
(About the wall colour): “It looks like a piñata got run over by a car.”
(About David’s homemade furniture): “This is how you make things? Dude, this is crazy. It’s like stupid.”
(About a painting): “It looks like old pantyhose. Someone got shot.”
(Searching through the fridge): “What do these people eat? Doesn’t look like they eat food.”
(Letting David be gay): “You don’t have to be so mean about it Mr Decorator Thom.”
(About using colours): “…in a way that won’t make your eyes bleed.”
(About using a dragging brush): “Doesn’t mean you have to dress as a woman when you are doing it.”
Carson (about David’s waving): “No, not with a little monkey.”
David about if Jess chooses the colours for their home: “… look like highlighters.”
Hip Tip: “Get a hue.”
Carson: “I feel like Cindefella at the ball… At both of them.”
David: “I’m going to throw up.”
Carson (trying on clothes as well): “Don’t have time to shop.”
Ted mentions that David hasn’t got into the cooking part of his Jewish religion:
David: “Yeah, my rabbi hasn’t taught me any of the cooking.”
Ted: “Nouveau kugel if you will.”
Carson: “I love you more than my Louie.”
Jai: “Trust me, that means a lot.”
Ted: “Thom, I think she either likes it or she’s having a seizure.”
This was the worst straight guy speed shaving I’ve ever seen, and heard! He even spreads some shaving cream on his tongue and tastes it. Kyan says: “What a weirdo.”
Kyan (about David in the jeans): “What an ass.”
Carson: “Those are some good assets.”
Thom: “He actually looks better than anyone I’ve seen.”
Thom (about David): “You little peanut.”
Carson: “They’re the perfect accessory for each other.”
Thom: “Shake it, don’t break it.”
Thom: “You don’t want your home to look like a colour wheel.”
Carson: “Grant me the serenity to read care labels.”
"Nothing" and "Get Down"
David Hewlett Movies: Nothing and Get Down
OK, these movies are Canadian, and are both available at Amazon.com. David is Canadian! Stargate is filmed in Canada with mostly Canadian people involved! (Just in case people don’t know all this.) Anyway, I really enjoyed both movies. They were so refreshing because I’m finding American movies really drab. But aside from that, the movies were excellent and interesting and really got my attention from start to end. In fact, I wanted to see more! The acting was very good. Story lines surprising. The music for both movies was very good setting the pace and the emotions. David Hewlett was the lead in both and was brilliant. These guys were both smart guys so I wonder if there is McKay in David (and vice versa?). Both movies have really interesting plot ideas and surprising and good executions of the ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed them.
Nothing
Dave reassuring Andrew: “We’re not dead, we’ve got cable!”
Two guys, Dave and Andrew, are idiots, if not retards, with bad luck and the troubles of the world bearing down on them. They have good reason to hate the world. One day, while they are trying to figure out how to fix their lives in Andrew’s house, the world’s chaos reaches its climax in their lives and they are cornered and then suddenly, wham, a bright light appears. They explore what has happened and find that the only things existing in the world are themselves, the turtle, Stan, the house and everything in the house. Oh yeah, and the garden. What surrounds them is just a whiteness, which is bouncy like a trampoline. This nothingness is everywhere. This story is about the consequences of living in this nothingness and the consequences of the two guys living together and how this tests their friendship! It’s very clever and even funny in parts. David Hewlett plays Dave, the brightest of the two dim bulbs. Stan, the turtle is a character all by himself.
It’s interesting and the special effects are really top notch. I even liked the idea of what the real world is like. It does have bit of a Matrix feel to it.
Get Down (also known as Treed Murray)
David plays a very smart advertising exec that defends himself from robbery in a park. When the rest of the gang appears, he runs for his life. When he is surrounded he climbs up a huge tree and fights for survival in a very cunning way. Now, remember, this is a Canadian movie. If this was a film from the USA or SA, he’d be shot dead out of that tree, if not while running away, and there would be no story. This story will totally surprise you; this is not your typical gang. I did like the way the story ended but I really wanted to know more!
