David Duchovny is Back to CaliFORNICATING

Filming of Californication Season 3 has begun! While Hank Moody is stuck in Hell-A, I'm hoping to catch some filming in NYC where Karen is here "working" (which will likely lead to her fucking someone else and throwing a wrench in the relationship again). As for David Duchovny in the real world my guess is he and Tae Leoni went on that romantic getaway last month because once he gets back into the Hank Moody role full swing, it'll be back to full time fornication addiction again.

CALIFORNICATION PARTY REVIEW

MusikBLITZ presented its first event on Sunday, Jan. 25, with a Californication-themed party at Solas in NYC.


To honor David Duchovny’s hit Showtime television series, partygoers dressed as members of the show’s cast while downing Jameson cocktails.

Bronx-based cover band Famous Shamus played two awesome sets filled with a wide-range of rock songs—from Led Zeppelin (“Immigrant Song”) to Buckcherry (“Crazy Bitch”) and Bon Jovi (“Livin’ On A Prayer”) to Lit (“My Own Worst Enemy”). The band kept with the evening’s theme by performing tunes featured in episodes of Californication like Cheap Trick’s “Surrender,” the Foo Fighters’ “The Pretender” and, since many Warren Zevon songs are often heard on the show, “Werewolves Of London.” (However, the band somehow neglected to play the Red Hot Chili Peppers song that has the same name as the TV show.)


It was a good turnout on a very cold night for MusikBLITZ’s first party. And, hopefully, there will be many more to come!

California Dreamin' - Californication Season 2 Finale

“For her, yeah. At the end of the day, it's all about her. It's always been about her. What happens between us I can't ... control. Lord knows I've tried every which way. But what I can do is be the absolute best I can be for her. If I followed you to New York, I'd just be hoping against hope that we lived happily ever after. Maybe we do, maybe we don't, but you've got some ---- you've got to do, lady. I think you should do it. I'll hold down the fort. Keep her off the pole.”

Josh Gajewski at the LA Times "Showtracker" blog notes that "“Californication” is now revealing itself as a story about Hank and his daughter more so than about Hank and Karen..." THAT is what makes the show so great. It's not the sexist bullshit show or "Sex and the City for men" - the plot is humorous, witty and at times heart wrenching (especially dialogue between Hank Moody and his daughter Becca.

It's been a few days now and I'm sure you're aware that in the final episode of Californication, Lew Asbhy is in fact dead, Mia Cross heads out on a book tour, Hank finishes Ashby's book, Runkle begs Marcy back and she denies (HELL YEAH), Karen accepts a job in NYC and Sonia gives birth to a black baby.

At first Karen tells Hank he has to stay behind in LA but has a change of heart after Sonia pushes out a baby that isn't Hank's. As they're packing into the car for a road trip to their new home, Becca freaks because she lost her iPod and who shows up but the dorky BF Damien. With a new iPod in hand for Becca (complete with their playlist) he tells her he wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he let her leave without saying goodbye. Hank sees this display and decides he's willing to stay in Hell-A for Becca...because, again "at the end of the day, it's all about her."

Coke Dick & the First Kick

Maybe its because the previews gave EVERYTHING away, but last night I felt myself not as enthused with Californication. Or it could have been the lack of cute little devil worshipping Becca (Hank and Karen's daughter). I am extremely disgusted that Lew banged Mia (though this was expected) - someone needs to hand that girl her ass...I'd love to do it myself.

God help me if this baby is really Hank's, though I have a feeling that either it won't be his or she'll have a miscarriage. If it ends up being Hank's I might have to stop watching the show.

A quote from the lovely Becca: "It's all well and good to talk about happy endings, but if a person can't deliver,
if he keeps screwing up, well, eventually i guess you kinda just have to say fuck you.
Or words to that effect."

Welcome to Vaginatown... or SUCKtown

Last week's episode of Californication (as you will soon realize, this show consumes me as does its name) I was nearly crying when Hank (David Duchovny) proposed to Karen. Sure it was a little too perfect and the lines were A LOT more cheesy than usual, but it was a total breakthrough in the show and my tears were for joy.

However, Sunday's episode left me enraged and hysterical crying (wow, I am such a woman). Crying is very unusual for me so it's kind of pathetic Karen breaking up with Hank brought me to tears. Bitch, if you thought you made a mistake, you should have never put the ring on!

I fear the next few episodes are only going to make me more and more angry at Hank. But, as Lew Ashby told Hank, he always had that rockstar vibe. Sigh...
