Blade Runner Rip Off
4 June 2012
This ladies and gentlemen is what happens when a production company with a lot of money, Canon Camera, hires an award winning Visual Effects Supervisor to direct a film of his own creation. In this case, the creation was created 30 years before by Ridley Scott! It stars Nicollette Sheriden, looking old and withered, going through all the motions of a "skin job" trying to not get caught. Oh there are other "twists and turns" ripped off from other films, but mostly it's just dreadful and pointless.

Maybe it was supposed to be an homage to Daryl Hannah's character from Blade Runner, but I doubt it, because it just comes off as a blatant rip off, which of course it is.

But regardless, it was showing off Canon's brand new camera, which did a remarkable job by the way. If only Canon had thought about actually hiring an inspired writer director to film something original, we'd have something that not only looks pretty (and this does look very pretty with a lot of amazing effects) but also included embarrassing rip offs, and unbelievably horrible acting, making the audience members who weren't paid to be there, leave in droves! Is Hollywood really that delusional and unimaginative? YES!

So much for Carrie doing "Stand Up"
6 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The show plods along with a few interesting and witty bits, but mostly is very negative, unfunny and nasty. I've seen Debbie's show, and though self deprecating and sometimes "bad taste" Debbie is also VERY FUNNY! I compare the two because Carrie because she has a similar humor, but much more bitter and hits "punch lines" over the head like a sledge hammer and actually waits for the audience to laugh, and when they don't, she insults them! Mostly the show was just uninteresting, a thing I wouldn't have thought possible considering her life story.

In the interview with her mom, Debbie said Carrie didn't ask her for advice or notes, and only asked Debbie's opinion AFTER the show had closed. There's no telling how much better it might have been had Carrie groveled to ask for her mother's advice...
