[scifinoir2] OT: Why Did I Waste my Time?
Lessee: Elton John looking more like Janet Reno than ever...Beyonce Knowles doing some weird overproduced musical number about being a boy, surrounded by what looked like jackbooted Robocops...Pink twirling from a rope amidst strobe lights while (un)dressed like Mila Jovovich from The Fifth Element...The Blackeyed Peas romping around on stage while giant shiny metal men do crazy step dancing...Li'l Wayne looking like...well, Li'l Wayne...almost every number replete with sensory overloading lights, smoke/fog, mirrors, and explosions...and, most outre of all-- Taylor Swift wins Album of the Year. (which will do wonders for a show trying maintain a veneer of relevance and critical importance)-- Damn--who would have guessed that the best scifi and fantasy programming on last night wasn't on SyFy, but on CBS?

Keith, can't speak to a single item in that list. All I can say is that I'm OH-so-happy that I wasted my time on the Pro Bowl.

Yeah, I should have waited for the post-show analyses and blogs, then gone to You Tube to revisit the performances worth seeing. - Original Message - From: Martin Baxter truthseeker...@hotmail.com To: SciFiNoir2 scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 1, 2010 3:41:17 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] OT: Why Did I Waste my Time?

Re: [scifinoir2] OT: Why Did I Waste my Time?
You're absolutely right. The experience is everything to me, being part of the event. It's why I still love going to the theatre for movies and plays. The only mass event in which I don't partake is American Idol. The talent there is just too awful to waste my time. - Original Message - From: Martin Baxter truthseeker...@hotmail.com To: SciFiNoir2 scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 1, 2010 5:24:25 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] OT: Why Did I Waste my Time? Maybe you just wanted the real-time experience. I used to, back when I liked the music of the period enough to invest the time. Haven't watched the Grammys since -- '95, I think.
