Hmm... Lacan probably has something to say about you hating Vonzell and me hating Bo.

About effing time!

Now to devote the better chunk of my time spent thinking about AI to figuring out something to like about Bo...

... naw, those 10 seconds are worth something better.

After this week's results, I'm afeared there's nothing to stop a Top 2 showdown between Bo and Scott. Gee, who shall I root for?

I could've guessed the quality on Make Way would be iffy.

At least you'll get a chance to videotape Angel Face off of TCM on July 16th at 8am eastern.

Well, as far as bootleggers go, I'd been led to believe that 5MTL was among the most professional. Of course, I haven't bought anything from them yet. Their stuff is too pricey for me and I've seen their "B" Jeanne Dielman VHS, which is at least a "C-" dub to my eyes.

What? How?

Bo, who sang the song, seemed to me the most real of the contestants... This statement sort of encapsulates everything that bugs me about the way this AI is shaping up. Bo's schtick seems as contrived, to me, as Josh's did a few seasons ago (he was the Marine/Navy/whatever kid who rode the Alan Jac...

I'm with you, Ace.

This weeks episode, the first I watched more or less in total since the start of the actual competition, highlit a lot of anger trigger points that I'll probably come back and rant about, unless I come to my senses and realize it's not worth the effort.

The Soup, One Morning 1/2 (which rated the lowest of the 41 movies that I saw. Everyone around me hated it.) Someone who gave Dear Frankie 3.5/4 also finding something as detached as The Soup, One Morning to be a least favorite doesn't really surprise me in the slightest. I don't know how Frankie g...

I don't necessarily disagree with any of that. But mostly because there seems to have been an unusual amount of people attempting (and failing) to sing Stevie Wonder songs. Nice try, kids, but you're all out of your league.

I'm sure that there's something appealing about Bo that's eluding me, but at this point I just sort of see him as Constantine without any stylistic range. The sort of guy who sings "Jack & Diane" or "Sweet Home Alabama" every week at the karaoke bar to pick up honeys. Anwar ...

So... what's really the point of ranking these performers out every week if you pretty much know who you like and don't. I mean, it's sort of getting old bashing Anwar every week and defending the equally monotonous Bo, isn't it? (Anyway, it's the main reason I stop watching, more or less, after th...

Did anyone notice that 5 Minutes to Live has Make Way for Tomorrow for sale on DVD-R?
