Monday night, I'm trying to stay in more.. Decide that the Three's Company thing is the best way to spend my evening. Boy oh boy - was I RIGHT!! Do miniseries (or what are they called if it's just one night?) come out on DVD? This is going at the top of my want list. It's so awful. It's produced and narrated by Joyce Dewitt.. I'd just read online about something they're doing on the West coast called "Instant Films" where real actors, screenwriters and directors are given a few plot bits and then write a 7-9 minute screenplay in 12 hours and film for a day, then screen a day later. This has gotta be an extended version of that. Maybe they were given 14 hours to write this, and a few minutes to rehearse their "acting". My only regret is that the first 35 or so minutes seemed like a music video, with everyone moving too fast and then some clever slo motion bits.. We're at the sad "Chrissy is reduced to phone in bits" - I can't take this. Last night, Kelly Taylor reduced me to tears recalling her first sexual experience. Tonight, THIS?! I am not some afterschool special who's emotions can be toyed with like this.. 2nd night in a row of crying myself to sleep.. "Jack has his hand on Mr. Furley?!", B
I haven't seen acting this bad since I saw the off-Broadway smash hit Darryl Hannah's One Woman Shows Presents: I'm Not Renee Zellweger; The Joey Lauren Adams Story a couple years ago. Good god was that ever a waste of time. Well, in a good way, of course.
A teacher once told me that at the center of the universe is laughter. I thought, "wouldn't that be great?"
It was awful, yet I couldn't change the channel. I was hooked. I don't know what was worse, this or the Def Leppard movie.
My friend and I could not stop watching the Def Leppard movie when it came on one day on VH1. It just turned out that day was the day before the bar exam. Still passed, and now I know so much more about Def Leppard than I did before. Nice.
      Ironically, the actress that played Suzanne Somers in the movie was cuter than the real Suzanne Somers was. -G
