America’s Got Talent: The Final Semi-Final
Pop Culture by Adam on August 26th, 2009 with No Comments so far.America’s Got Talent’s final semi-final is over. In some ways this show was unfair because of how much talent was in this show. It really was a matter of luck for many of these acts. Had some of these eliminated acts appeared in Week 2 or Week 1, they may have gone on.
Review of Funny People
Pop Culture by Anton on August 24th, 2009 with No Comments so far.I was interested in seeing Funny People because Adam Sandler – a comedian and actor I’m very loyal to – was starring in it. I’m a hit-and-miss fan of director Judd Apatow, and I’m mostly unimpressed with Sandler’s co-star in Funny People, Seth Rogen, but I think highly of Sandler. Before I saw the movie, I read this. I laughed a little bit. Obviously, Rex Reed is a hater of all things Sandler, Rogen and Apatow. I dismissed his review because of its obvious prejudices and went to see the movie. Unfortunately, Reed was basically right.
Judges Don’t Dance Around Good Talent This Week
Pop Culture by Adam on August 19th, 2009 with No Comments so far.Wednesday was the third quarter final results show in America’s Got Talent. And rather than last week’s doggy fiasco, the judges addressed a tough choice in a fairly non-controversial manner.
The FootworKINGz were a dynamic group of young male dancers from Chicago. Pixie Mystere were a group of grade school dancers. The talent was slightly on FootworKINGz side plus the fact that America is unlikely to send elementary school girls off to do a Las Vegas show, the logical choice was clear.
America’s Got Talent Goes to the Dogs
Pop Culture by Adam on August 12th, 2009 with 2 Comments so far.Now, for a pop culture break. Tonight, the results of America’s Got Talent Quarter Finals were announced. We begin with the Judge’s Choice. Four of the twelve acts that performed on Tuesday went through the next round, and six were sent home based on America’s vote. The 5th and 6th place finishers faced the judges.
If you had a choice between a promising young musician and a dog who could catch frisbees if not for the fact that his owner’s erratic throws, what would you do? If you’d choose the young musician, congratulations, you’ve got more taste than 2/3 of the judges on America’s Got Talent.
Please Give me my Money Back, Bruno

As a mid-twenties single white male, I represent the target demographic for Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie “Bruno.” The mockumentary about an Austrian fashion designer was promoted as a follow up to the irreverent character chicanery in Cohen’s hit film “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.” However, after viewing the film and conferring with other theatre goers I want my money back.
