There's a mini-marathon of "The Hills" on MTV now. I've never been able to sit through more than five minutes of this show (or "Laguna Beach"). But I am forcing myself to sit down and watch this show and try to figure out why everyone else watches it.
To be honest, I still have no clue. Here's what I think of "The Hills":
--Lauren Conrad is pretty. She's the only one of them on the show I'm remotely interested in. But I can't stand her voice in the intro voice over. She does NOT have a voice-over-friendly voice.
--Audrina is nothing more than a pretty-faced slut who seems like she hasn't evolved past high-school-level drama and constantly looks like she's directing her gaze upward; hence her nickname "Ceiling Eyes." No one expects her to have much thought process.
--These conversations....mind-numbing!!!!!
--Why the hell are they trying to make "Heidi Montag" happen? She's not going to happen! She's marginally talented as a singer, and she's not even that attractive. She looks like every other starlet wannabe who comes to Hollywood and bleaches their hair and gets the plastic surgery so they can look like a Barbie doll. She's generically pretty, but not genuinely pretty.
--Why do they constantly feel the need to insert a little caption under everyone's name? Like we don't know by now who Brody is and that he's a friend of Lauren's. Or that Stephanie is Spencer's sister? Or that Spencer is Heidi's BF. ESPECIALLY if you've been consistently watching the show since the beginning. Do the producers of this show really think the viewers are that stupid? *rolls eyes*
--I love how they occasionally show Lauren (and Stephanie) at work. We need to show the viewers that one of these "stars" actually has a job, ya know?
--Spencer. Is. A. DOUCHE. After all of that crap, why did Heidi still want to marry him?
--And Spencer and Heidi make me want to throw things at my TV. I don't know why, either, but they just do.
Some other stuff about MTV now that I want to gripe about:
--They are literally breaking into the programming with ads for the MTV Movie Awards. It's not even a little thing on the bottom of the screen like a ticker. It's a full-out AD that takes up the TV screen for like four or five seconds. I thought they were just doing this on MTV2 when I was watching "Cribs" yesterday, but yeah! This is really bothersome.
--All of the ads for skin-care products!!!! It's either ProActiv or Clearasil or "the Clean & Clear challenge."
--The constant hyping up of Twilight and the upcoming Full Moon. Uhm.....no. I felt Twilight read like really bad vampire fanfic. Plus, Kristen Stewart has a perma-bitch-face and isn't very attractive.
pop culture overload!
