TV Junkie Needs Explanations
Fugee 7:56
I forgot to set the VCR and missed the first half of The Bachelor last night. The previews showed an ambulance and someone sick in the bathroom. Must have happened before I got home. What was it? And one girl didn't come home from the first group date -- what happened to her? Some of those women are ruthless in their tactics. This could be the most interesting Bachelor type show yet. Meow meow. Scary thing is, some of them think they are in love with him and would marry him if he asked. Hello? You saw him on TV and had one group date with him. Is anyone but me geeky enough to watch Law & Order (my excuse -- I never watched before last season so it's like a new show to me)? I completely did not get the ending. The threat to put this guy's [unseen] GF on the stand made him drop his "the pressure affirmative action put on me to succeed made me do it" defense and plead. So what was the deal? |

For some reason they hadn't investigated the gf angle ahead of time, but it suddenly occurred to them that they could use her as a bargaining tactic. They guessed, correctly apparently, that she was white. He would lose credibility for being a victim of AA if they could show how easily he moved within the white world, I think is how the script's thinking went. Of course, I have no idea what relevant facts they could possibly get her to testify on--sure he was with her when he was supposed to be meeting up with the fugitive, but they'd already stipulated that he faked the story. State of mind? That's the only thing I could think of--but they wouldn't want to just up and call her without first checking to make sure she'd say he was showing no signs of being under stress, etc. tm L&O junkie |

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Bad_Rich_Chic Yeah, I think you're right. I remember it was mostly used in New Orleans, which got rather more into complicated classifications. One of my S.A. friends has two kids, one of whom can pass and one can't. Mother's white, and the daughter isn't (though she'd pass anywhere in the US). The whole family refers to the boy as "White-Boy." Going out in Johannesburg with them is kind of weird. People will smile at the boy and mother, but treat the daughter like she's invisible. Or, they'll compliment the beautiful daughter with that whole, smug "see how progressive I am!" tone. Though one has to give them marks, being still rather new at this "how do we deal with having to actually deal with each other" thing, for jumping right in, slogging along and trying things out rather than timidly waiting for someone to tell them what's "right." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy Pfeiffer has written an interesting book about "passing," in literature, the title of which escapes me. "The Human Stain" is probably the best known current work on the subject, and I hear the upcoming movie based on same is pretty fucking cool. __________________ |

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by robustpuppy Yes, we called it "F--k or die," but I prefer the version I've played: present two vile possibilities for banging with death as the out. It's a different dynamic when you introduce the comparative aspect, and it's often very telling when a person will explain why they chose one person over another. It's also fun to see who in your group is capable of the most evil pairings that almost always motivate the player to choose death. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back before going in-house, the guys and the old firm and I would play "who would you rather fuck:" with the choices usually being [moderately ugly male partner, associate, or nut-job paralegal] vs. [grotesquely fat female associate or heinously ugly female partner]. Variations went to: Would you rather give [name partner] a blowjob at the partner's meeting in front of all the partners, watching silently, vs. [take it in the ass from fat guy in word pro]? Or the ever popular: Would you do [x] for $1,000,000. I was on record as never refusing to do anything safe for $1,000,000. |

BRC, please reconsider the Halloween contacts. They're not sufficiently regulated and can cause eye injury or infection. If you have to wear them to complete your costume, go through your eye doctor. Fugee, Law & Order is unwatchable now that Elizabeth Rohm is second chair. She's just awful. I'm not asking that she be Claire Kincaid; that would be folly. She's just not a good actress. On some shows, an actress can be so hot that you don't care that she can't act. Certain shows hinge on this concept. But L&O is not that show, and Elizabeth Rohm is not that actress.

I would pick Problems over bodies though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree 100%. I've listened to loads of old punk and hardcore in my day, and it seems to me that everything is derivative of three bands - the Pistols, the Ramones and Black Flag. Of course, the case can be made that those three are derivative of the Stooges and MC5... MC5 is horrendously overrated. "Kick Out the Jams," an alleged classic, is one of the shittiest live albums ever. I think critics love MC5 because of their balls out political stances, because no one with a good ear could say they were a good live band. __________________ |

My thoughts on Thursday nite NBC Friends - Really laboring. They took one idea that should have lasted for 6-7 minutes and stretched it out for the whole show. The writing just isn't there. Scrubs - Very funny. Although more needs to be done with Dr. Cox and the other old cremudgeon[sp?]. Their acts are getting old. Fast. Will and Grace - Mira Sorvino is scary thin. I almost did not recognize her. She was funny. Much more so than Grace. ER - No idea. Saw the previews. Something about war and Dr. Carter. Looked silly. Extreme Makeoever - O.K. I know its not on NBC, but I like seeing these people get chopped up and redone. Some of the "afters" are pretty amazing. The most disturbing thing was a preview of one of the upcoming makeovers. A guy lost 200? 300? pounds. They show him running. He looks like he is wearing a baggy skin suit. It was very gross. I can't wait to see the show. aV |

He's never been rated all that high. He's considered good, but not a fucking great quarterback. That's why Rush's comment is so stupid - it challenges an alleged position which was never taken. 2. You're right - the NFL preoccupation with race makes no sense. But that same shit occurs in college football. If I had to see another assjack interviewer ask Willingham what it was like to be a black man coaching at ND, I was going to puke. Who fucking cares what color he is? What we really want to know is why that team gets a free top 15 pre-season rank every year no matter how bad they are. 3. "Dittoheads" are idiots. Dumb manipulated hicks who think the estate tax will affect them and 70% of their tax dollars go to minority welfare queens. Clark loses no steam casting them to the side because he never had a chance with them anyway. 4. Whether or not the Peppers stole their sound, its fact that Fishbone was never ask good as the Peppers. 5. Rush deserves everything he gets, and I think his undoing is the beginning of a mini-revolution against the right. The worm appears to be turning a bit as moderates in both parties seem to be waking up finally and saying "Hey, what the fuck are we spending all this dough for?" and "Hey, who put all this white trash in charge?" And its about time. Tom DeLay is the sort of man who should be servicing the lawns of voters, not dictating policy to the house.

So I caught this show last night when nothing else was on and it has basically turned into an ad for ABC shows. Kind of weird - out of 3 stories, 2 were aimed at increasing viewership of other ABC shows. First there was an indepth look at the people who apply to be on Extreme Makeovers and the last story was an interview with Wayne Brady, who became famous on Whose Line Is It Anyway. I guess the whole attempt to look like a serious news show has been played out. Poor Sam Donaldson. I also saw the last half hour of Survivor and much of the Jenna Jameson True Hollywood Story. Exciting night. |

One of the best endings to a game I can remember seeing... Check out SportsCenter if you haven't seen it. Great subplot for Chicagoans, as the sons of legendary '85 Super Bowl Champ Bears Otis Wilson and Walter Payton slugged it out. Wilson's kid scored one of the best TD's you'll ever see on a screen, breaking 3 or 4 tackles and hitting a Miami safety head-on and knocking him on his ass about 3 yards back... Miami then drove down to win the game on a last-second FG, saved only by an amazing over-the-shoulder fully laid-out catch by Kellen Winslow Jr. on 4th and 13. WV played their guts out.

Other than that, I'm really hard pressed to understand why this show had the legs it did. It is not a compendium of cultural knowledge like Seinfeld, and it resorts too quickly to the "Scene: X kisses Y; audience goes WHOOOOOO!" school of dramatic twists. Watching this show in its last season is like watching a relative with Alzheimer's fade away in a nursing home. One that you were never close to but your family said you were supposed to love.

I think this should be mandatory FB watching, since the entire season is about being good inside an evil law firm, and the compromises we make in the interests of continued employment.
