Elvis…
Presley, that is. I don’t get why girls swooned and orgasmed at the sound of his voice and the swirling of his hips. Ooh…bad, BAD mental image.
Chris Farley- I’ve seen him on SNL. He dosen’t seem to DO anything hilariously funny. Adam Sandler- Annoying for the most part. His hideous caterwauling- er…singing- doesn’t impress me much either.
Tom Green- He’s not good looking. He’s not funny. He’ll stoop to the lowest common denominator to get people to laugh. Am I supposed to think he’s WORTHY of me turning on MTV when his show is on? Well excuuuuse me, for not thinking that.
OK can’t think of anyone else I wanna bash here…But that’s alright. I’ll come back here tomorrow.
Amazing coincidence…I’m sitting here with Veronica on continuous play on the Napster when I clicked on this. I guess I must not share your opinion of Elvis.
The New York Film Critics just awarded him their Best Supporting Actor award for Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic, so I think we can make a convert of you yet.
You obviously got your Sinatra and Shatner albums mixed up. Frank did the occassional sing-speak towards the end of his career, but for decades at Capitol, his phrasing was second-to-none among male jazz vocalists. Stylistically, he wrote the book (or at least several huge chapters).
What makes that little cutesy cheerleader any better than all the other cutesy cheerleaders out there trying to break into the music business? And how did she get on the Mickey Mouse Club to begin with? Did she give the Disney execs a better blowjob than all the other applicants? What gives?
Elvis Presley just oozed sex appeal. Gives me shivers just to think about him. Yummy.
I agree with Lisa Kudrow’s talent escaping me. I think her character is funny sometimes on Friends, but no matter what role she plays in any movie I only see Phoebe. There was an actress on SNL (name escapes me) that played Jan Brady that is much the same. Regardless of the role she was in it was like she was doing Jan Brady. Funny if that is the role she is supposed to be doing, but other than that no talent that I can see.
I don’t understand how people can like songs with such violent content. Granted, he isn’t the only individual in the rap or music industry to do this, but the way he seems to advocate violence against women is disgusting.
And most of the people I’ve met who claim to like him are girls. I don’t understand that. He doesn’t even look good!
I mean, come on! Worst part is, he’s encouraged by the guys he’s so trying to emulate (read “cash in on”) for pity’s sake! Don’t do this to us, guys! Treat him like the talentless waste of space he is!
Well, GKittridge, you’re not the ONLY one who thought that ‘Saving Pvt. Ryan’ was totally overrated…and while we’re at it, I always wondered why it costs sooooo much more for Steven Speilberg to make a movie than anyone else in Hollywood!
Lastly, am I the only person on the planet that thought ‘TITANIC’ was a total waste of one’s time and money? (To think, you could have rented 2 movies for the price of one ticket!)
Man, they talk about healthcare reform, and Doctors having salary caps, but IMHO, I think the motion picture industry needs a salary cap!!
Oh man, I love those three bands, and the Smashing Pumpkins are my very favorite. But each to their own, I guess. I can see where people would get annoyed with Billy Corgan’s voice…but man, that feeling…that rage…that sadness in the voice really gets me. And he can make a guitar scream or cry, too. sigh
I’m with you totally on the Fabio thing. Where did he come from, and what’s the deal with him? I never even see him on television. I just saw him in a I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter commercial.
I know I’m gonna get reamed for this, but: Bob Dylan.
Even his most ardent admirers would be hard-pressed to argue that he’s a talented singer (nasal whine, how captivating), guitar player (Tonio K. on critics comparing him to Bob:“The only thing I have in common with Dylan is that aside from him I may be the worst guitar player that’s ever entered a studio”) or harmonica player (it’s not even in the same key as the song half the time). He popularized protest songs? The guy stole everything he knew from Woody Guthrie. A poet? Don’t make me puke. “How many times must the cannonballs fly/ before they are forever banned?” Wow, I didn’t know there WERE any cannonballs still flying in '64, Bob. Al his lines about jokers and queens and leprechauns and other archaic bullshit was supposed to lend his songs a timeless quality, I suppose, but instead of being “deep” they were just vague (unless you happened to be a naive rich white kid who smoked a lot of pot and were really UPSET to learn of all the injustice in the world, in which case I suppose he must have been a revelation). Now, like the Rolling Stones, his “legendary” status means that he’ll still have legions of fans blindly following his work even though he hasn’t released anything remotely enjoyable for 25 years. It’s pathetic.
The only thing I can say about Elvis Costello is that I used to feel the same way, but I eventually (after about 15 years) grew to love him. And Billy Corgan conveys anger and rage? More like a watered-down, corporate-friendly, non-threatening cartoon/MTV version of rage. Sounds more like whining to me.
Jesus, sorry about that. I must be cranky as hell tonight.
I’m not totally sure about this, but I think Fabio used to be (perhaps still is) a model for the covers of romance novels. You know, the strapping pirate about to rip the bodice off the buxom tavern wench kind of thing.
I don’t get Ben Affleck/Matt Damon. I mean I know about Good Will Hunting, but they’re just a couple of average looking guys who remind me of people I didn’t like in high school.
Also, Calista Flockheart and the whole McBeal phenomenon.
Yeah, I saw it. And it was Phoebe pretending to be someone else. I’m sorry; I don’t think she has an ounce of talent beyond middle-school-improv-team level.
What the hell did they ever do that was so great? Their music wasn’t original for its time; they write one hit song and all of a sudden, they’re legends. I don’t get it. I bought Nevermind a few years ago and it just bored me.
On a different note:
{{{Welfy}}}
Thank you
Why must everyone hate the Smashing Pumpkins? Billy Corgan is IMO one of the most talented artists out there, and the music has such emotion, everything is so original and fresh-sounding, and yet I seem to be one of the few people who feels this way. Oh well then. I order everyone to listen to Siamese Dream and Adore, two of the greatest albums ever.
On the other hand, Crunchy Frog, I totally agree about Pearl Jam. What I wrote about Nirvana applies here too. Eddie Vedder’s voice gives me shivers. And not the good kind.
Fabio modeled on hundreds of covers for romance novels. Which I hated because they would put him on the cover and the character he was spose to be representing in the book looking nothing like the conceited chunk of spam that he is.
Romance cover models ( men) make a killing with not only the money but they rake in the chicks during their careers.
( The woman who owns the used book store that I go to was a judge at one of the Romance Writer’s Conventions . I don’t know how she became a judge, she’s about 4’11, body like a honey baked ham, overpermed loverboy hair style and coke bottle thick glasses. She was showing me pictures of all these famous cover models that she canoodled with and all I could think was, *those poor guys the things they do to win a stinking beauty contest *
Goldie Hawn. She’s cute. She’s got the bod. She’s perky.
How in the hell does she get gigs time and time again?
Jennifer love hewitt.(and the rest of the 20 somethings) So what that you kinda look like Audrey Hepburn. You need to act too.
David Schwimmer: You are never going to out live the Ross image. Stop making movies. This goes for everyone else on Friends.
Jewel: What? Why?
Celine Dion: Heard one, heard them all. Oh, and shut up about your love with your husband who is 25 years older than you. It’s creepy, ok?
Samuel L. Jackson: Where did you come from? Why are you hailed as the next Sidney Poitier? I’ve seen Sidney Poitier movies, and you sir, are no Sidney Poitier.
Adam Sandler: You aren’t funny on big screen. I liked you for two minutes as Opera Man.
Andy Dick: His success is the most perplexing. Who did he blow to keep his career alive?
Melanie Griffith: You are not that pretty. You have a baby girl voice and you are not that skinny. You certainly cannot act. Why do you have a job and more importantly, how did you get Antonio Banderas?
Richard Gere and Val Klimer: adequate.
Chris O’Donnell: You look like a altar boy. Nice white boy with plastic hair and acting to match. Is that why you get the leads? The nice white boy with no personality representing the nice white boys with no personality on screen?
Helen Hunt; Is it just me or is Lee Lee Sobieski her younger twin? Neither can act. Helen, you blew chunks in that oscar winning crap fest with Nicholson, whateverit’scalled.
Grateful Dead: I’d never heard their music until about four years ago. It was so mellow, that surprised me. I thought they were more metal-ish because they have such a following.
