NEW SHOWS

[CaptainWacky]

It needs to be a five minute music video of Elizabeth Gillies singing every week.

I wish if they were going to do the character stuff it wasn't so cheesy. I think most of the actors could pull off better lines, but the lines have to be better to begin with. The writing is not great, IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

 

[CaptainWacky]

It's not good enough to deserve its own thread!

hmm

I've read a few "Wow I was expecting it to suck but it's good!" reviews so far.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I'll watch it if it's on tv here but I won't download it.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I thought this week's SDRR was PRETTY DECENT.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I thought this week's SDRR was good!

 

[Cassie]

TRUE IT WAS PRETTY GOOD.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I think it was because his mother was more horrible than the main characters so it made them more likable.

 

[Cassie]

SDRR was bad again

 

[CaptainWacky]

It's about time somebody stuck it to hipsters! Edgy!

 

[CaptainWacky]

That SDRR was bad. The whole story was just a complete cliche with no twists. As soon as they said "you have a record deal!" everything else that was going to happen was obvious. They even spelled it out in the first scene! Why would Gigi be shocked by how the music industry works anyway? She's never been naive before. And that guy saying "on feelk" about forty times. And the Daft Punk bit was embarrasingly bad. Urgh.

And YES I of course liked Elizabeth Gillies in those outfits in a shallow way but that doesn't make the episode good.

 

[Cassie]

I KNEW YOU WOULD LIKE THE SEXY ASS SHOTS.

Yeah, except for Elizabeth Gillies being really gorgeous and a good singer, this show SUCKS. I think we liked 2 of the episodes so far.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I can appreciate her physical appearance while also finding it gratuitous and silly!

 

[Cassie]

At least the character also found it gratuitous and silly.

 

[Cassie]

OMG THEY FINALLY LET HER SING!

 

[CaptainWacky]

The singing was good. The rest was shit. What even happened? It was like they ran out of stories and ideas. So they just repeated some stuff from previous episodes, like ANOTHER montage of Gigi flirting with an older man while her dad looks concerned (it was like the fourth time) and "the fat guy is fat!" jokes. Who was that guy supposed to be whispering things to everyone? I don't even know.

I don't even know.

 

[Cassie]

He was Rob Morrow from Northern Exposure, which John Corbett was also on. NORTHERN EXPOSURE REUNION!! Too bad SDRR is not as funny and smart (and fucking weird) as Northern Exposure was.

I think he was trying to make them all emotional in some way so the song would be better, but it was all just STUPID.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Northern Exposure is one of my all-time Top 10 shows. I have the whole DVD set.

I have not watched SDRR yet, though. The mixed-to-bad reviews made it less of a priority.
