I've seen Paula Abdul twice recently (and I'll be seeing her a lot more since I watch American Idol); once in footage from last week's interview with a Seattle tv station where she was dazed and confused, and once tonight (January 16th) in the opener for American Idol with the auditions in MN.

Both times she was ...odd. In the tv interview, she was raving about who-knows-what. In the auditions in MN she was extremely quiet. What gives? This girl doesn't seem to have a middle ground, really. She's either over the top or under the bottom!

The one thing that I keep in mind is that she makes me laugh, but not in a good way. It's more like it's 'OMG, I'm so glad she's not sitting next to me in the restaurant, or at a movie, or on the bus or whatever!' Fun to watch, but only from a distance.

I saw this movie a long time ago, and while I don't remember much about it specifically, I ~do~ remember that it was horrible. And that there was pretty much one reason for it being horrible...

Keanu Reeves.

He's what makes this movie oh-so-painful to watch. He looks so incredibly uncomfortable doing the required romantic scenes... well, required because it is, after all, a romance movie, right? He's about as wooden as a table leg. If you want to see a romance movie, see something else. If you want to see a Keanu Reeves movie, watch Speed or The Matrix, but don't waste your time on this piece of trash.

I saw this movie in the theatre when it came out, and I'm glad that I did. I hadn't previously liked Will Ferrell much, but this movie changed my mind about him. He plays the main character here very well, with just the right blend of enthusiasm and naivety.

The movie may be predictable - it's the typical fish out of water movie, but it's still funny, and has lots of references to the classic Christmas animation shows as well. The ending is just what everyone knows is going to happen, but it still works. That's just it... it works. And I think it's Will Ferrell that makes it work.

So I give the film an A+, and I think it's destined to become a Christmas classic.

Topher Grace played Eric Forman for seven years, and for six of those years, he was perfect. He was the perfect person to play the slightly wimpy, slightly nerdy, always caring and wonderful boyfriend to the hottest girl in Point Place. He played that character well, and as he said in an early interview, he had a lot of "research" into that type of character.

Unfortunately for him, the writers ruined the show in the seventh season. He seems to have been aware of this and got out as soon as he could, leaving the show Eric-less for its final year. The show suffered without him, but it was suffering in that final year he was there too.

He's been in movies, and seems to be playing the Eric-type character there too. I know he's capable of more, and different characters, like he played in Traffic, and I'd like to see him get those roles. He deserves them, as he's talented.
