my attention wanes geometrically
Aug. 21st, 2010 12:53 amDear people who've watched Primeval: I got stuck (like a year ago) a couple episodes into series two, and stopped watching. I think I was mostly not excited about the last episode of series one and the first of series two. It is possible that I just don't like shows that are willing to make surprise! changes like that to characters I've gotten attached to (see also: Angel, which I gave up on halfway through season one, and probably Torchwood now). However, it is also possible that there were just a few dud episodes, and I'll be much happier if I keep going.
So, opinions? Should I pick it back up on the assumption that I might want to watch series four-and-maybe-five?
Some guy from Fandango say 100 movies in 100 days, travelling around the country to different theaters, while working full-time, apparently. He's got a round-up at Day 100: The Expendables which includes the information that he gained 25 pounds. ( and that seems like a lot, but maybe that's just me )
Still catching up on SYTYCD Canada, and I have reached audition fatigue amazingly early. By the time they got to Halifax, I was watching about ten seconds of most routines, skipping to the judging, and skipping ahead about ten seconds into that.
I have decided that my issues with the Canada auditions follow from my nature as a crass, capitalist citizen of the US, because I am evaluating every ticket to the finals as an investment, and it really bothers me that they're sending people through to what is going to be a very, very stressful week for everyone involved without any proof of a reasonable expectation that they're going to be able to pick up routines at a pace needed for the show.
In other words, I am not appreciating the dancers for the special flowers they are. Seriously, I think I would run auditions like The Gong Show. Is that what [Wherever]'s Got Talent does, with the Xs? I've never watched an audition that someone didn't make it through.
For instance: they sent the belly-dancing chick through to finals? see my earlier objections to b-boys not doing choreo. ( Read more... )
