Experimental TV: Non-Fiction  

This thread is part of an experiment to discern the Buffistas' future interest in television discussion. It will remain open until June 1st, 2007, upon which date there will be spirited debate regarding the infinite possibilities for our board's development. This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shit, this woman on What Not To Wear might be the biggest personality transformation ever. She's GORGEOUS. And once again, I'm inspired to want to wear makeup. Although I don't have big white teeth like this woman does. Holy crap.

Also, I love the family rerun that was earlier. Cute!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

in the middle of describing how he'd like to get Rene drunk and take him home.

Who wouldn't want to get Rene drunk and take advantage of him? The man is fine!

I don't care if Boogie's as gay as a Christmas tree. As Jesse points out, the man cannot do hair and that's all there is to it. I loved, loved the reunion. I loved that Tabitha and Tyson acted like two grown ups (who knew?). If Ben wins, it will be a way worse tragedy than Chloe winning PR. Say what you will about Ms. Dao's creativity (or lack thereof) and egregious overuse of that particular shade of blue (You know the one), the woman had impeccable construction. She's not my cup of tea, but she wasn't a BAD designer. The ninja can't do hair. I'm pulling for my girl Daisy all the way.

ION, I want to have moves like that latin dance couple on SYTYCD last night, because good lord! They set it off. Other than those two, however, I was underwhelmed. The dance teacher and her student were nothing special (thought the teacher was better than the pupil. thought they both needed more clothes on). S2 Stanislav's sister was good, but I'd give her up to give Stas another shot. The girl who fell through the floor and tattoo girl both seemed like charity cases. I hope we start seeing more of the good dancers soon.

Heh - just watched that one. I knew she'd clean up nice because (a) hot bod; (b) pretty features behind glasses and horrible hair and weird hats and (c) even though she was defiant she was also open to the experience from the beginning.

Lordy, did she need that haircut.

They almost always do.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is anyone else watching On The Lot? It's no Project Greenlight, but as an ex-film school geek I can't help getting sucked in. Especially since one of the films in the second ep? Was the exact same movie DH and I made for the one film production class we took together. I mean, down to the freaking title. (Time Out) Their visual effects were better, but since we shot on film and did all our effects in-camera I don't feel too one-upped. I mean, FCP didn't even exist back then! The Avid suites with the BIG hard drives were only 9GB! We had to push each frame uphill in the snow, both ways!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow, Jessica. Do you still have a copy of it?

I haven't watched it, but a coworker's best friend is on it, apparently.

Oh yes, but it's on 16mm & mag tape, so not very watchable unless someone buys us a Steenbeck. We meant to get it transferred to Beta, but that was, oh, almost ten years ago? The cans are sitting in the bedroom closet. (I could still get it transferred, actually, through the post house we use for film transfers at work. He'd probably give me a really good rate too. Hmmmm.)

Art Crawl!!!

Talk about it over at WX has been making me curious about it.

ION, BBCA is running a Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares mini-marathon this morning.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have enjoyed OOL, but it feels like a show that may get canceled soon. Not only because the ratings are bad, but the production values of the show aren't as tight and sharp as some of my favorite reality tv shows.

If they showed less bickering and more time for films, I think this show might do a bit better. They also need to repeat it more than Fox currently chooses to do.
