Given that Supernova giving her the boot caused another cascade of Web sites going down again, I honestly think Storm Large is probably just a little too large to be joining Velvet Revolver 2.
This year, they’re re-re-re-releasing “Star Wars” on DVD. This time, it’s the “original” version bundled together with the special edition. (Of course, it’s not done with all the digital bells and whistles to clean up the sound and picture, so expect another release at some point in the future as Lucas milks this particular cow to the point of being abusive.)
While one could, in theory, run the two movies side by side and watch all the things that have changed (most notably freaking Greedo shooting first for no reason I can wrap my head around), one of Lucas’ Stormtroopers has done the work for you, with a shot-by-shot comparison of what was changed between 1977 and the 2004 Special Edition (Now With All Character Growth Removed For Your Protection).
Hopefully the rumors of a similar set of changes being made to “Jaws” are just a rumor.
Wow, was that awkward for anyone else when Ryan spontaneously began having sex with that piano? Very, very uncomfortable and, frankly, I’m not sure the piano rental company was too happy about it, either.
Great work by Toby and the obligatory great work by Dilana as well. I thought Storm was strong, but not as strong as those two. My gut says this may be the week she goes home, although I think others (piano-humpers who shall remain nameless) deserve it more.
I was looking at the Rock Star Wikipedia page and realized the separation of the wheat from the chaff is pretty obvious: Up until now, no one who has ever gotten an encore has ever been eliminated. Starting this coming week, that’s no longer possible.
It’ll be interesting to see if getting more than one encore/special performance marks the same sort of line between contestants. Storm and Lukas are the only two of the six remaining who have only had one encore/special performance.
(And yes, once the show ends, I’ll find something else to talk about incessantly.)
Dilana Robichaux 1/1
Lukas Rossi 10/11
Magni Asgeirsson 3/1
Patrice Pike 21/1
Ryan Star 5/1
Storm Large 7/1
Toby Rand 5/7
I don’t bet — I just don’t have the gene that gets a thrill from the risk — but I guess that means Vegas has them ranked Toby, Lukas and Dilana as 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices, with Magni, Ryan, Storm and Patrice bringing up the rear.
I find Ryan exasperating at best — the guitar-throwing stunt last night reeked of trying to desperately please Supernova — but with the possible exception of Toby being so highly ranked, that certainly sounds like what I hear a lot of other people saying.
