Good call, though, on the Channing Tatum. If you want to distract me on the "stupid face" front, he's exactly the guy. His personality seems fine, but he is a stupid face.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was...pleasantly not as horrified as I expected to be by MacFarlane's opening act.

If he just did everything in the voice of Brian (the dog) then he'd be fine.

McFarlane has a nice voice. He just needs to have other people write the majority of his words and add a soundtrack.

Exactly! I was preemptively in the hall, but I didn't need to be.
Also, Charlize Theron dancing was delightful. Channing Tatum looked a little heavy on his feet, though.

Ok, being played off with the music from Jaws. Genius.

Oh whew! Everyone on my FB thought it was the worst opening they'd ever seen, and I was getting worried that I was the only person who didn't think it was terrible at all.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Some of McFarlane's jokes are uncomfortable clunkers, but hell - like that's never happened before.

I thought it was awkward as fuck. If William Shatner improves things, they were pretty sorry for me. The dancing was the best part--I saw Tatum fumble his hands a little, but his feet looked fine at least as far as I was following. The dancing and the innocuous songs were good, but very indistinct.
I find Seth has also a very indistinct voice. I'm never going to know that's him.
Poor Hobbit. Between 48fps and live singing their makeup didn't stand a chance.
So far I feel the ceremony's only been funny a couple of times, and it was mostly Melissa deadpanning. But I'm way OTT in love with her, so perspective probably lost for all time.

Obviously Amy Poehler and Tina Fey need to tag team this next year.
