OH HAI, Neil Patrick Harris. Enjoying your break after that Rent at the Hollywood Bowl bizzareity? (shut up, that is totally a word.)

My thoughts on the SYTYCD finale can be summed up thusly:

( in no particular order, despite the fact that I have numbered them )

Also, why so much talking?

Tonight was less about the performances and more about the choreography. The routines that I didn't like and/or didn't understand, I can't imagine that there's a dancer who could have made me care about them. This is good news, of course, for the finale, that I'm not wishing someone else was there to do the routines.

( whoops! )

I am almost-perpetually in a state of having just forgotten something, at which point there is a very present feeling of having just forgotten something. This has been known to happen in the time between thinking "I should look that up," while in the middle of a paragraph, and opening a tab to google 30 seconds later. I eventually remember what ( Read more... )

Okay, now that the show's over, I think there was something off with the camera work tonight. That's the only thing I can think of, because there were so many things that I just did not get tonight, even the routines that I really liked.

This week in LXD-land, they inexplicably went comic book style, and then turned Madd Chadd into an actual robot of some sort. Suffice it to say, after watching it, I was looking forward to leaving it behind and watching SYTYCD ( Read more... )

Is it just me, or does this season of SYTYCD have like 100% more men in gender-ambiguous costumes and/or choreo? Not so much the individual routines, but both last week and this, the group routines struck me as a case of choreography and costume fixing imbalances created by casting. This week was Mia. I can't remember what last week was, just ( Read more... )

The LXD premiered on Hulu yesterday. I don't know if it's just me, or if the audio and video are slightly out of sync. It's probably just me ( Read more... )
