Anya ,'Showtime'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I thought Penguins was a really well-done nature doc of the sort that I don't see on PBS/Discovery/National Geographic as much since "when giant carnivores order takeout" took over the TV genre. Also, really pleasant on the 95-degree day I saw it.
On the other hand, Murderball utterly blew me away.
(And I suppose I shouldn't gripe too much, because I can't remember when I've had the chance to see two of the doc picks in the theatre, let alone managed to do so.)
Until noon, faithful readers. Stay alive. We will find you.
I love the fuggers!
I also loved Jennifer Aniston rolling her eyes as she walked away from the pre-show interviewer.
What I do NOT love is the US Passport Agency hanging up on me, after telling me I might have better luck if I call tomorrow between noon and 3. @@
Eggshell. Check.
Yeah, Hec and I rewound and rewatched the eyeroll a couple of times. It was delicious.
I did enjoy Jon though. I thought the opening was fun and the promo ads very fun. I think the review was way too harsh on my man.
I thought he did better than I expected. I think the Oscars is a hard gig.
Joe and I just watched March of the Penguins yesterday. All the death made me sad, but I guess that's part of being a documentary and all. Personally, I loved the stuffed penguins. Of course, I can see how a little boy might be disappointed.
If Jennifer Aniston had had anything vaguely interesting to say I might have not been rolling my eyes and therefore caught hers. I think she gave one of the emptiest interviews of the red carpet shenanigans, and the interviewers were doing their solemn best to lower that bar. I dislike her more and more.
I wasn't sure if she was rolling her eyes at the interviewer's bad questions or her bad answers, but either way it helped.
You know what is really weird... every single link upthread during the watch and post links to a picture of "Producer Paul Haggis".
When I clicked on them last night, they were all Ludacris.
That's weird. When I went back this morning, many of them were...someone else. I don't know why they must shift so.
It wouldn't make sense for all of them to shift, since they're from different sites (though mostly yahoo).
