lost interest

principle too... in idol, that is... i mean, surely i knew the audience was seriously skewed and had no appreciation of talent or personality or, go figure, vocal ability, but still, they could have gone with pretty boys with better voices this year... the best voices went early in the top twelve, except for crystal who ran circles around lee head to head last night and tonight... it is sad and even pathetic to see such an undeserving winner, i mean, is it is really a talent contest...

it is not though, it's a middle america white bread teenage cirl bland fest... last hyear was obvious, this year even more obvious... when the girls stopped splitting their vote between lee and casey, crystal didn't have a chance... meanwhile, lee will sell a little to the artistically uneducated who don't mind stiff clones who wouldn't win most neighborhood bar karaoke contests, i mean, it was fitting joe cocker showed up... they probably couldn't get the boss out to sing for his bland imitator...

so the idol season was disappointing right up to the end... i wouldn't pay to see the top twelve with lee as the lead, just as i felt the best talent last year was not given the win either... middle america votes for the bland, which makes the show disappointing for anyone who thinks the most talented singer-performer should win...

might be time to return to forgetting to turn the tv on :)

the end of time

or at least the end of 24, at least until the movie (they did it for X-Files, i doubt they'll miss this chance)... i admit a large part of me was disappoint that jack kept it together and didn't just blow the murdering head of states heads off, all three in fact, or at least the two guys... but i suppose the suicide was more humiliating for the former president... so they made jack human with a conscience and a noble do-anything-for-the-flag true partiot to the end, which works best for a movie follow-up...

chloe needs to man-up for the movie (at least a little, aye?... i mean, challenge the former president's aide a little more for keeping the head of ctu who just shot jack bauer detained while she's supposed to be coordinating protection for the president and world leaders)...

ok, so i look forward to 24 on the big screen, even if i only watched it as background noise about half the season at most over the years... the question will be how do you fit 24 hours into two?... ah yes, cut out all the meaningless soap opera crap and focus on the action...

what's on now? :)

missing craig, but...

disappointed in him even more... first off there was a fun happy birthday video floating around facebook and youtube and mentioned on twitter, all places craig exploits on his show so it would seriously surprise me if craig did not know about the happy birthday video created by his devoted fans...

and then, someone at warner brothers or another greedy company shut down the youtube channel that had been sharing craig with the world (many millions of views by people who cannot get craig on tv) for some bogus control-freak reason (cuz going viral on youtube certainly helps a publicity machine and profit margin)... the disappointment was craig's silence on the shut down even as many hundreds of his faces expressed sorrow and even pain at the loss of the abil;ity to see his show... i mean, he could have at least joked about the conspiracy to stop his world domination or blame it on that conan guy or something clever to nudge youtube about the action... i never expected craig to be politically correct or so out of touch with his fans...

so i am missing watching him because i am getting to sleep earlier these days, but i am still quite disappointed and not as big a fan as i was last week before he dissed his fans with silence just when they needed him most...

where are all the heroes?...

the sub show, i suppose...

narf :}

idol is run by teenage girls

the final five makes that pretty obvious... with the best voice gone, the show becomes more disappointing every week as mediocre and very inconsistent male voices are praised for ratings... sadly, real creativity scares the masses and conformity is praised and cheered...

but then, humanity is a very sick species in so many way, it's a wonder we're not already extinct... just watch the news if you have doubts...

who's sleeping at the wheel?
