God help me! I've begun watching...

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

...Dancing with the Stars.
Because it's real.
One night a couple weeks ago I stumbled across a segment that I just knew had to be live -- and so it was! As with music, "live" is the best.
You'd never catch me watching, say, Chicago. In film there's no continuity of performance, therefore no feel of The Dance. ("At the still point, there the dance is." / T S Eliot) Film routines are all staged for absurdly dramatic shots. TMI! Too Much Intervention.
DWTS, so far as I can tell, is totally live -- certainly the competition segments -- and therefore it's exhilerating. Plus, most of the contestant stars are amusing; nor had most of them ever had dance training before.
One exception is the best star of all, one Joey Fatone, whose name had been unknown to me. Evidently he was a member of NSYNC (whatever that was...) Now perhaps twenty pounds overweight, he moves lightly and is funny as heck, physically and verbally. An "audience favorite" as they say. He has my vote.
