Television

[vovat]

Last night, I watched last week's American Idol, both the singing show and the results one. I think the right person was voted off this time, too. Jon Peter Lewis had probably the only truly bad performance of the night. (Oh, and while we're on the subject of Mr. Lewis, why does Ryan Seacrest always call him "JPL--Jon Peter Lewis"? Isn't the whole point of calling him by his initials that you DON'T have to say his full name? And would it be totally wrong to call him simply "Jon Lewis"?) Has anyone else noticed that Quentin Tarantino is kind of a living caricature? I liked him as a guest judge, because he seemed much more into it than most of the celebrity guests (although, as Beth pointed out, he was quite biased).

Last night's Simpsons episode was pretty funny. It seems like the writers really wanted to get back to the status quo of earlier episodes, what with Skinner and Krabappel breaking up, and Barney becoming a drunk again (something they really never should have changed in the first place, and which I hope continues into future episodes; he's just not funny sober).

lol, quentin is SUCH a caricature. the only other place i could really think of having seen him as himself was his snl appearance[s?], and watching that american idol reminded me so much of someone *imitating* quentin on snl! {g}

It's amusing you say that -- one time I was watching him on SNL, and didn't realize it was him (flipping through the channels) and commented on what a hack the guy portraying Quentin Tarantino was, because they were going too cartoony and over the top with it, and it obviously wasn't anything like him.

Then, I found out it actually _WAS_ him. And I was all confused for the rest of the night.

hm, i just replied to this, but i guess it didn't work. i just agreed with quentin being a caricature. he seemed like it was someone doing an impression of him on snl.
