Philosophical wonder woman

I really don't know the legality of writing in detail about a ticketed event at a convention... but I just had to share the fun that was Ben Browder for my fellow Farscape fans.  He is also know for Stargate (which I didn't really watch but just might now!) and was also on a recent episode of Arrow. But my heart will always beat for John Crichton of Farscape .  Thanks to my AZ BFF Alisha, I was introduced to the most creative sci-fi show I've ever seen.  Working with the Muppet studios and fantastical make-up creations, the show TRULY felt like another universe that would be phenomenally confusing to any human.  And that is part of the humor in it for me... I don't want to spoiler anyone who plans to watch the show, but poor John is a brilliant astronaut who is accidentally sucked into another universe, fumbling his way through, perpetually confused and mocked mercilessly for it. I'd been kind of disappointed in certain sci-fi shows in the past in t...

I have always been drawn to any TV show or movie starring and revolving around Super Heroines. In my youth obviously I was captivated by the Wonder Woman TV show starring Lynda Carter. Many hours were spent spinning & fueling the imagination with our adventures together. My grandparents had audio records of the Wonder Woman comic that completely captivated me. I became entranced with the idea of a woman super hero who didn't have to rely on men; she could rescue herself as well as others. I enjoyed The Bionic Woman as a child but not in the same way I looked up to a traditional Super Heroine (keeping with the league of many male characters). The 2007 Bionic Woman remake was enjoyable at first (especially because of kick-ass characters like Katee Sackhoff joining in). But repetitive story lines and uninteresting characters couldn't keep my attention (or apparently anyone else's). I've done a lot of searching in TV & movies and probably watched most of wha...

Where else but So You Think You Can Dance ? At the show's opening, the brief solo intros that excite me: Ade! Melissa! Kayla! Phillip! These dancers take my breath away. 1. Janette and Brandon - Cha Cha I do love these two, but what I don't love is all the faces Janette makes when she dances and I'm a little surprised the judges haven't mentioned it. She needs to keep her mouth closed a little more, but other than that I LOVED it. They are always high energy and explosive when they get out on stage. It was sweet to see Brandon teary over Mia's compliments after her initial reaction and dislike of Brandon (that no one ever understood). 2. Kayla and Kupono - Jazz with SONYA Who better for Sonya's choreography than Kayla? This girl is my favorite next to Melissa. She's so good that I don't vote for her because I think Kupono needs to be the next guy to go home, though he is working VERY hard to match Kayla's brilliance but my eye always goes to ...

june 25 2009 michael jackson and farrah fawcett died. had to abandon the interwebz when the news speculations killed twitter and random insults about mj moments after he had passed away killed my ability to deal with free speech. but now people are more respectful and positive things are circulating. paying homage to the pop king I'll be downloading mj albums I don't have later this evening...and have been listening to him off and on whilst coding away. lucas of the cliks wrote a nice mj blog: http://blogs.myspace.com/thecliks goodbye michael and I'm sorry the world was so crazy for you - who brought us so much great boogie music and inspirational dance moves. your talent and influence will obviously live on and I hope you're at peace.

The general consensus about last night's performance show (SYTYCD) is a bit disappointing. BUTT (:) There were a few shining moments thankfully and voting was much easier for me last night. First off props to Toni Basil for her lifetime achievement and trail blazing in the world of hip hop, popping and locking. I remember seeing The Lockers on the very first season of SNL (I've been watching them from the beginning) and discovering that the chick that sang the Mickey song was actually very important in the world of dance. 1. Jonathan & Karla butcher a Dave Scott smooth hip hop routine. Nigel said it best, you two didn't even have your head nods together... wtf?? It was sloppy, uninteresting and totally out of sync. I adore Dave Scott and he deserved to see a better version of his dance. 2. Vitolio and Auska take on a rock jazz Mandy Moore routine. I loved Auska's look and there were moments of excitement, but overall I didn't feel they were together enough,...

Group Dance: “Higher Ground” by Stevie Wonder MIA - you are a GODDESS!!! This is all I really watch the results show for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUQp_k3vOwY But as for the elimination results, I was sorry to see Ashley go because I really felt she was put in the bottom by Kupono, who should have left before Max. Max was doing great but I don't think he could have stayed in the competition much longer. Ade is BLOWING me away in Mia's choreography. I agree that he could be the one to beat.

So You Think You Can Dance performance show review from June 17, 2009 - Top 18 My most favorite routines (in order of my liking :) of course 1 & 2 I think are tied. 1. Melissa & Ade ~ Jazz by Sonya Tayeh: “24 Hours (the Ashton Shuffle A-Bomb Remix)” by Terry Poison First off, I LOVE Sonya and so far I continually love Melissa and Ade... both are brilliantly talented dancers that completely pulled off Sonya's wild ride. I mean did you see those extreme backbends? So crazy, so unique and still so controlled with great technique. I kept exclaiming "WOW are you kidding me!?" 2. Karla & Jonathan ~ Contemporary by Stacey Tookey: “Falling Slowly” by The Frames I was not too impressed with Jonathan and Karla last week, but this week I actually teared up during this routine. They danced it perfectly but ALSO brought personality and acting to the emotion of this dance's story. I don't really care if their personalities aren't that interesting - this sh...

well actually not too bad... I'm referring of course to So You Think You Can Dance. I enjoyed Paris' dancing but I agree with the judges that she really didn't "bring it" as much as she could have on her solo. As soon as Tony started dancing his solo I said, "bye bye Tony." It just wasn't impressive at all, considering the people that got cut before the top 20. I knew the group routine was Shane Sparks before Cat announced it... had that very distinctive Shane hard hitting alternating with soft, organic blowing effects (sort of hard to describe now that I think about it!) I've discovered more GREAT SYTYCD sources: Rickey.com and Let's Talk SYTYCD . Rickey will repost all the videos the day after... talk about instant gratification! I have a feeling that Asuka and Jonathan will be next to go, of course, it totally depends on how they evolve in next weeks' routines. Can't wait to watch more!

It's time for So You Think You Can Dance to come back tonight! Of course we have to endure the auditions which can be entertaining too... but it really starts to cook by the top 20. I'm never satisfied with Dancing with the Stars, never even watch that show except to catch what's left before Castle came on. It was too cheesy for me, and ballroom can be thrilling, if it's on SYTYCD :) I really wish (and I have emailed this wish to Fox many times) that So You Think You Can Dance would come out on DVD, if not the whole seasons then at LEAST the top 20 or highlights from the season. But since they don't, we'll have to settle for watching them online at great sites like this: http://www.soyouthinkyoucandancevideo.com/ All aboard the hot tamale train! whooooooo hooo!
