List of movies I've seen

[Jul. 17th, 2009|10:00 pm]

[	Current Mood	\|	bored	]
[	Current Music	\|	"The Power Of Love" by Celine Dion	]

So, I keep a list of what books I've read here in my LJ. I've decided that I'm also going to start doing that with movies. As with the book list, one star for really sucky, five for really good. Yeah.

And since this is going to eventually get REALLY long...

YAY KUPONO! He was safe! Except it doesn't matter because they announced tonight that the top 12 will be on the tour instead of the top 10... and all I wanted was for him to be on the tour because I harbor no unrealistic fantasies about him winning. Oh well. I'm happy nonetheless.

You'd probably have to be Ferris to understand the "Shit for sale" subject line. In fact I had forgotten about it until about two minutes ago.

But anyway.

I'm putting a bunch of shit up on eBay. I've got like 5 things up so far but more will be coming soon.

I have so much to do before I leave for Sherman tomorrow... and absolutely no ambition with which to do any of it. I need to pack, but that'll only take a few minutes. I have pictures to pick up at Walgreens because I made prints of the pics from the other night with Anthony to give to Becky and Lorey. I need to burn some CDs for the trip. I SHOULD put gas in my car so I won't have to worry about it in the morning. And I still need to put my mom's Memorial Day flowers in my trunk so I don't forget them when I go.

And I don't want to do any of it. I was pretty good yesterday, but today I'm exhausted because it's finally caught up with me. I was up for like an hour and a half this morning and ended up falling asleep on the couch for another three hours. I've been up from that nap for like two hours and now I want to go back to sleep.

Ack!

So You Think You Can Dance: Miami & Memphis Auditions

[May. 27th, 2009|10:19 pm]

[	Current Mood	\|	bored	]
[	Current Music	\|	"I Got This" by Adam Lambert	]

Tonight's auditions take place in Memphis and Miami. First stop, Miami- we haven't been here for four years, so hopefully we'll find some fresh talent. Our guest judge for this stop is Tyce Diorio.

We're alarmed when Tony Riendeau says he has his own style. That usually doesn't mean good things. And Tony is no exception. He flops around like a fish out of water for a few minutes and gets a resounding no from the judges.

Priscilla Marrero gets off to a really interesting start. She's quirky, in a good way, and we really like her... until she talks. She's really awkward. But this is about dancing, and she's great at that. The judges send her straight to Vegas.

Janette Manrara and Romulo Villaverde are back after being cut last year. They dance really well together, but the real test will be to see if they can dance seperately or with other partners. They have some really good tricks in their choreography though, and the judges send them straight to Vegas.

Next up are identical twins Jessica and Jennifer Guadix. We're interested to see what the judges say about two girls dancing together after they ripped apart the two guys who danced together last week. Turns out it's a moot point though, since these two are horrible. They're not even remotely well timed, and they just cannot dance. They're both sent packing.

Joseph Smith pulls some really cheesy faces and that's distracting, but he's a decent dancer. Unfortunately, "decent" is about all we can give him. About halfway through he starts just flailing around, and he's doing the same thing over and over. The judges send him to the choreography round. Surprisingly, he makes it to Vegas after that.

Day two in Miami begins with Wislande Letang. Apparently she thought showing off her boobies would be enough to get her to Vegas, because she certainly can't dance. She takes offense when the judges basically compare her to a stripper, but they're correct in doing so. It's a no for Wislande, thankfully.

Why, Erik Moore, would you tap dance to "Thriller"? And it's not even very good tap dancing. He also moonwalks and does the worm, and apparently the judges are high, because they send him straight to Vegas.

Paris Torres is... weird. It's like watching some kind of psychotic jewelry box ballerina. We don't particularly like it, but the judges send her straight to Vegas.

Henry Rivero, Megan Kinney and Alex Wong are all good dancers, but there's not much originality to any of them. Apparently, though, the judges are feeling generous, because they all get sent straight to Vegas.

Geo Smith shows up in a headdress and leaps off the stage. This is... weird. He's a good dancer though, and since that's what this should be about- the judges send him to the choreography round for a second chance.

Talia Rickards is here for her first audition since her husband died in a motorcycle crash two years ago. We're rooting for her at the beginning of her audition, but it turns out to be unimpressive. She just does the same thing over and over, but the judges decide to give her the benefit of the doubt and send her to the choreography round. She eventually gets sent to Vegas, as well as Geo Smith.

Now it's time to head to Memphis, where we're joined by guest judge Lil C.

Marico Flake isn't bad, but again, he's nothing new. He does okay with his audition, but we very strongly doubt he'd be able to do anything else. Guess the judges must have seen something we didn't, because they send him straight to Vegas.

Cue Dustin Dorough, who claims to be the cousin of one of the Backstreet Boys. He dances badly and the whole thing comes across like a comedy act, but at least he's got a good attitude. The judges show Dustin the door.

As we watch Chris Carrozza dance, we find ourselves thinking we could do this very same thing... but why would we want to? This is terrible. And then, of course, when the judges tell him he's terrible, he freaks out. We're bored. Chris is going home.

Next is Caitlin Kinney, whose sister we saw earlier tonight in Miami. She dances beautifully- the first real standout we've seen tonight. The judges send her straight to Vegas.

Anna Dunn kicks off day two in Memphis. Her father committed suicide just over a year ago, and she's still very emotional about it- but she does a great job of conveying those emotions in her dance. We really like her, but the judges don't give her enough credit. They send her to the choreography round.

Travis Prokop is another auditioner who doesn't get enough love from the judges. They tell him he needs to work on his strength and ask him to stay for the choreography round.

Evan Kasprzak from last year is back! Hooray! We really liked him and were disappointed when he didn't make it last season. He's entertaining as always, and the judges send him straight to Vegas.

Here's another set of twins, Lauren and Lydia Guerra. Thankfully they're much better than the first twins were. Their timing isn't quite perfect, but it's good, and seeing them together is a trip because they apporach the choreography so differently from each other. The judges ask them to stay for the choreography round.

The last solo audition comes from Evan's brother, Ryan Kasprzak. He's a great tapper, but what's with the cheesy gimmicks? He doesn't need them. We hope he loses them in Vegas, which is where he's headed.

After the choreography round, Lauren & Lydia Guerra, Anna Dunn and Travis Prokop are all on their way to Vegas.

Next episode, our last two audition cities: Los Angeles and Seattle.

This is amazing. I just sat here watching it for like 20 minutes straight.

Usually I hate this song because it's so overdone but Tony does an incredible job with it.

Work is over until August. YAY!

In other news, I watched the preview of Glee the other night after Idol and I fucking loved it. And then I downloaded the cast version of "Don't Stop Believin'" tonight and I'm obsessed. It's going to be my new favorite show, I'm pretty sure.
