Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

“Not dead yet!”

how is it that Matthew Morrison turns from a sort of generic-looking attractive guy into a SEX GOD when he sings and dances?

I know, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Singing Bel Biv Devoe! He should look ridiculous!

Is she a bad actress, or was it that dialogue? I cringed at every word. I'm not sure if Meryl Streep could have pulled that off.

at first, I blamed the writing, but no one else's scenes are as bad as hers.

How about "Golddigger" wearing those jeans and the tight t-shirt?

Guh.

Yes, that was the beginning of my downfall.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

You know, I think it may be that there's a sort of earnestness there. Like, "I'm going to sing and dance to this song! I like this song! Enjoy this song with me, won't you?" that's not trying to be HAWT or campy.

I find JT can pull this off sometimes too, and I'm disturbed by that.

Color Me Badd! This is just not fair.

Yes, I was very amused by the smooth R&B selections. I wanted some Boys II Men.

So, has Acafellas disbanded since Josh Groban doesn't want them as an opening act?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

There was lots of cringiness.

And yet, as soon as they hit the numbers, whammo.

Also, wouldn't it cost a lot less than $8000 to buy a fog machine? I'm just saying Sue must have a significantly long view.
