  1. I can separate the art from the artist. I like some of his pictures but don't like others. What I took away from this documentary was that I never would have wanted to have anything to do with him. "It's all about Robert" says it all.

    What a selfish pushy person he was. I really felt sorry for his brother who ended up taking care of him through an awful illness with no appreciation of his own talent or sacrifice.

  2. Sam's dress was exactly like every dress I see young women wearing, except that his was made of neoprene with a white mesh overlay with black lace attached.  If you actually wore it to a sporting event, the skirt would flop up because of the rigidity of the neoprene, and you'd be sliding off from sweating onto the plastic.  Plus it was so badly made that the overlay and the under dress didn't match up.

     

    Even if the formerly gorgeous Georgina did wear it, I call bullshit on her wearing it with the pair of sneakers that Sam liberated from the accessory wall and that Isaac found to be the oh so fresh touch that set it all off.

     

    But Layana's pants looked so awful coming down the runway!  I don't know if it was the model or the fit, but it was truly unfortunate.

  3. "From Seinfeld: Don't you hate "to be continued" on TV. It's horrible when you sense the "to be continued" coming. You know, you're watching the show. You're into the story. There's like five minutes left and suddenly you realize, "Hey, they can't make it." Timmy's still stuck in the cave. There's no way they wrap this up in five minutes. I mean the whole reason you watch a TV show is because it ends. If I want a long boring story with no point to it, I have my life."

     

    The audience can deal with big events occurring.  We just don't like to be played for fools.  And that's what Gimple/Kirkman did at the mid-season finale, and that's what they did with this real finale.  

     

    And I bet they manage to stretch it out over the next three episodes before they reveal who got killed.  Over the next six if they're feeling really artistic.

     

    Dial's full of shows, especially on Sunday night.

  4. Sure, but there's something about that ad that makes it 100% male-gazy, even though the target audience ought to be the people who are going to actually be wearing the stuff.

     

    I think they're trying to increase their potential purchasers beyond those who might wear the garments.

     

    Or maybe they hope that the guys will drive their little ladies to Macys.

  5. When they showed the inside of Wu's home, I couldn't remember which piece of furniture he had eaten. The chair? The mattress?

    So the police are tracking someone who committed a double homicide and they bring along Monroe because of the Super Sniffer. Why is his wife there? His pregnant wife?

    Capt. Reynard: "that's going to be hard to explain." Just once I'd like to see the explanation. Why they didn't take a dog. Why their prime suspect didn't do it. Why two cops shot an unarmed middle-aged woman. Etc. You could make a great episode out of them covering their tracks.

    And the classic way you become a werewolf, not just in Harry Potter, is to get bit or scratched by a werewolf.

  6. I dropped The Voice after the blind auditions this year, and I barely watched any of those.  Once they start the head to heads, it turns into a weird exercise for the coaches in not saying anything mean to anyone.  I don't know how it turned into this, but no one will criticize anything.  The worst they'll do is "It wasn't my favorite performance from you."  And I find that extremely boring to watch.

  7. I feel like I should feel more for the Brett character.  The other three actors are really making the most out of their roles, but I still have not warmed up to Brett.  I don't quite know why.

     

    I watch this show occasionally, but would really be more excited by it, if Brett weren't the focus of everything.  He isn't an interesting person, and the other three are.  Every scene with no Brett is worth watching, the ones with him drag on and on.

  8. The twin in the bunker is wearing the blue shirt that we saw on Jamie in the vault.  So, I think it's Jamie, not Ariel.

    The American soldier who is covered in blood must be Scotty.

    Sister Celine is in there too, and after one night of wedded bliss with a member of this family, she must be pregnant.

  9. Imagine how they could have amped up the drama if they'd made the fabric exchanges into a game of Yankee Swap.

     

    People say Zanna is useless, but she got Alexander to turn his garment into something acceptable.  And I think that she and Alyssa have Sam's number.

  10. Bounty is Kyle Jason coz he is a bounty hunter

    Lurch I think is Scot

     

    Thanks....I thought I was missing something about paper towels.  I think with half the posters calling him Jason and the other half calling him Kyle, we don't need another name for the guy.

     

    It would be funny in the next tribal if someone would write down a bunch of names and cross them out.  

  11. I'd call that a multi million dollar home.  And you know it's got at least 3:  one in master bedroom, one for Manny and Joe upstairs, one for guests downstairs, and probably a fourth out by the pool.

     

    The wrestling match between Cam and his sister was bizarre.  And poor little Lily must be taller than Hailey now.

  12. Maybe if no one can keep the nicknames straight, we should stop using them?  I don't know who Lurch or Bounty are.

     

    No way that Debbie is the most interesting woman in the world.

     

    Bye bye Pretty Pretty Peter!  Last guy out before the merge always feels screwed.  They used to have a club.

  13. That was through my mind when I read and watched Rebecca. I wondered why he never gave her some pointers as to run the household. Especially since he knew she was not familiar with his lifestyle. He basically threw her into the water and expected her to swim.

     

    The next year Joan Fontaine starred in a film with Cary Grant where he treated her even worse, Suspicion.  She even won an Oscar for it.  She plays an heiress who marries Grant's character and becomes convinced that he's trying to kill her (because he is).  Then they patch on some stupidly hokey "explanation" at the end and suddenly they are great lovers.  Terrible.  Even Hitchcock can go wrong.  I don't know anyone who has seen this that doesn't think the ending is ridiculous.

  14.  

    Someone else will correct me if I'm wrong, but the I thought the odds were that the DNA could have belonged to anyone else. 

     

    1-170 million that it is not OJ's blood.  But that just means that they found OJ's blood in OJ's house.  You would expect to find some of OJ's blood in OJ's own house.  You could probably find my blood in my house and reach a similar conclusion.   It's not a staggering revelation.

     

    I was watching this very late at night, but they didn't say the same thing about Ron Goldman's blood at Rockingham, did they?  If Ron was killed at Bundy, and had never been to Rockingham, then concluding that 1-170 million odds against a blood sample found at Rockingham being anything other than his would have been a staggering revelation.  Ron Goldman never went to Rockingham when he was alive.

  15.  

    As for the DNA testimony, I don't think the basics of DNA itself is difficult to understand (everyone's blood has an individual blueprint, OJ's blood = 1 in 170 million), but for the frustrated, exhausted jurors whose brains were fried, I can see where they would zone out at the too-technical discussions.  However, knowing Clark hammered it down to a simpler explanation and OJ was still found not guilty is fairly mind-blowing.  Even I (a very non-sciencey type)  can understand the impact of 1 in 170 million.  Holy crap.

     

    The part about the DNA evidence in this episode that I found hard to take was the analysis of the blood at Rockingham.  I think that's what they were using the 1 in 170 million odds for.  To find OJ's blood at his own house doesn't seem very strange to me.  To find Ron Goldman's blood there would have been damning.  Someone in their own home is going to get a paper cut or scratch on their foot, and so their own blood will be found in their own home.  So, that's when you start questioning the chain of control over evidence.

     

    The stuff with the jury was really interesting.

  16. I get that Bravo is going to put their own shows on this, but the couchies all acted like they really watch the Vanderpump show.  Just like a lot of them watch Empire.  You can tell when they know a lot about the back stories.  It doesn't seem any different from any of the Real Housewives shows.

     

    If they want to add new couches, why not recruit some of the old Queer Eyes guys?

  17. I guess the apocalypse is here - I've started rooting for Ken.

    Sam started the season telling Mitchell that he should develop a thicker skin if he wanted to survive in the fashion industry. Seems like he should try doing that himself. It's a littler harder being on the receiving end rather than the dishing out end.

    One thing they haven't shown much of this season are who is rooming with who. But now they are down to 4 guys (Kini, Sam, Ken, Alexander) so they will all be in close proximity 24/7.

  18. I listen to audio books when I walk around.  Some favorites:
    Nightwoods by Charles Frazier read by Will Patton

    The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, read by Colin Firth

    The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey
