I like some of her songs,particularly "You Belong with Me." But her "acting" dispels most of the admiration I felt for her. She was out-acted by Ashton Kutcher, George Perez, Eric Dane, and various inanimate objects in Valentine's Day - her speech, expressions, and movement were so unnatural I expected a panel in her chest to pop open and reveal a tiny alien piloting the Taylor Swift robot like what happened with that guy in Men in Black.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Hey. New board.
I doubt she's a good actress, though I didn't see Valentines Day. I'm okay with her being bad at it, especially if she learned her lesson and doesn't try it again. Don't know why that would dispel admiration for her music - different things. Can't expect everybody to be good at everything they do. Shaquille O'Neal is a pretty bad actor too.

I still think she's a decent singer, but her acting was SO bad it just gives me a visceral Do Not Want reaction whenever I see her smirking through a commercial or anything. I'd be happy if she went the Greta Garbo route and all the public ever heard from her again were record releases.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ita ! !! I bought Ninja Assassin today at Best Buy for $4. Wasn't that your recommendation?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That was not me, but it looks like fun! Rick Yune, Rain, and Naomie Harris? How odd.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw Sherlock Holmes and generally concur with the "all right, but not as good as the first one" assessment. I'm not sure what I really liked about the first one that wasn't in this one, but I also know that I was spoiled by Mission: Impossible, which was endlessly entertaining. There were lots of little things and action scenes I loved, but I don't know.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I saw Sherlock Holmes, too. I enjoyed it, but it took a while for me to start enjoying it. Once it started to get really twisty I liked it most. Loved the end.
Good end credits, too.

I had no idea they were doing "The Final Problem."
Holmes's urban camouflage suits were frickin' hilarious.

And I was the only one laughing at first! Slow audience!
Another thing I liked was what they did with Watson's wife. Nice twist.

I really couldn't follow that whole bit.
