prasantrin Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I don't really understand why Miley Cyrus is so popular, but I've been away from North America during much of her rise to frame. Her dad has incessantly pimped her. You've missed nothing. Be grateful. Too bad he didn't insist on her getting a decent education in addition to pursuing stardom. She sounds pretty empty-headed ("sounds", not necessarily "is"). Could she say "like" any more frequently? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Suzanne F Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/08/...pe_concern.html Gang rape-y? yeah, I missed that part too. Damn. That probably was the only scene I liked when I saw it in 1960 or '61. Just kidding. That was the first musical I ever saw. Probably the reason I don't like musicals to this day, with only a few exceptions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's fair to say that none of those people (artists or customers) turned down Rhodes Scholarships because they felt compelled to express their creativity through tats.

Her dad has incessantly pimped her. You've missed nothing. Be grateful. My critical opinion is that she's a talented and charismatic pop singer, her character Hannah Montana was ingeniously designed to appeal to its intended audience - the whole idea of a regular girl-next-door secretly being a superstar is a perfect fantasy - but she's not a subtle actress. She gets laughs by mugging as outrageously as Darrin on Bewitched, and her whole show seems very old-fashioned. Her contemporaries, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, are much better actresses, and actually really funny when they get some good lines. Oh yes, I've seen countless hours of this stuff. For the skeptics, Demi Lovato's check-it-out girls sketch. Tell me this isn't well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In your assessment, how often would that happen? We shouldn't hold our breath, I'm guessing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid1 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Wizards of Waverley Place is pretty well written, really. The episode where her brother finds out he's dating a werewolf. Well, it's funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it's funny. weird coincidence - was out walking the pup yesterday and a French family stopped and asked me for directions. They were looking for the subway and attempting to find the locale for "La sorcieres de Beverley Place" I wonder why Waverly became Beverley. I told them I had no idea where beverly was. We were standing on the corner of Christopher, Grove, and Waverly. Oh well now I feel bad. Sent them to the SATC house instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gives tourists completely off-the-wall directions only to realize it the moment they disappear from sight. (I've noticed I get asked a lot more frequently now that I have the dog -- I should probably learn where things actually are.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah is a natural on stage. Same here, many more hours than I care to remember. I can't stand them anymore. At this point they make me cringe more than Barney ever did and I really hated that mother fucker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, it's funny. Aren't you the one who makes fun of Mongo for liking the Lord of the Rings movies? Anyone (and I don't accuse Mongo of making a similar case for the hobbit saga) who advances an argument that Wizards of Waverley Place is a classic of modern drama will suffer my ridicule. I was suggesting it was quite well-written and funny for a kids' TV show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's the children I felt sorry for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
