I never know what category to put transgender performances in. Reason numero uno why I resist the gender division now.

Glad to see Journey to Italy is a choice here, but I haven't seen it yet. I have, however, seen Stromboli and so I voted "other."

I sincerely doubt it's theory number two. There was an openly gay Idol contestant in the past.

Another theory: he was subpoenaed to testify at the Michael Jackson trial.

Whoa. I missed Mario Vasquez performing "Do I Do" last week. I don't know how well or poorly he sang it, but it is the single best Stevie song choice of the series run thus far. He's automatically my new favorite.

Anwar remains my (perhaps unfair and unjustifiable) least favorite.

I didn't take note of who did what (and didn't watch the entire show), but the one thing I noticed was that all three judges seem to be really turning up the hyperbole in their praises... after quite a number of performances that I was underimpressed with, I assumed Simon would tear into them merci...

Mister Tee wrote:Magilla, I think Bernard Herrmann's loss to The Omen the same night indicated at least some level of pure anti-Taxi Driver feeling.
In that case, some Herrmann votes could've been siphoning off to his (superior, to my taste) score for Obsession.

For people who don't understand how much the Oscars have hated Scorsese over the years, know this: the only reason such a truncated part as Straight's could have won was because voters would have gone for ANYTHING rather than give a prize to Taxi Driver. For those who were around at the time: What ...

Half of the people I know who've seen it swear that it's one of the best films ever made. The other half call it a turd, and not even a fresh one. I'm neither nor... I dig it as a script, but mostly because it taught me half of the vocabulary zingers I know now. As a piece of cinema, I think it's s...

04. Nikko Smith (good performance but sounded too much like Stevie) Is Stevie shadowing as a producer on this show? I think that at least a third of all the songs performed on the show during auditions and semi-finals have been Stevie songs. It's interesting how some of his songs sound astonishing ...

On a shallow note, is this the ugliest final group in Idol history? I thought so, but then looking at the season three contestant gallery, I'm not so sure. Ever since Clay Aiken, I'm convinced that AI's reality TV "genre" is as close to the makeover shows as it is to Star Search or Surviv...

I wish they wouldn't have gotten rid of the husky-voiced woman and the James Brown-impersonating dude.

On, and my sister and I can't stand the music teacher with the dreads.

If Chris Fujiwara is a pothead, it'd be news to me. In any case, I have to second any list that prefers The Devil Rides Out to The Lion in Winter.

Eric, Twentynine Palms was such a disappointment for me -- it struck me as very puerile, and one of those films which states its purpose withing the first 15 minutes, and then has nothing to add -- and the remaining running time was torture to sit through. As to Anatomy of Hell, well there is, I su...
