The only problem I have is due to my account issues, which the BWW staff seem unable to fix (if they even read my emails) means I can't individually PM people unless replying to a PM they send to me first, nor can I edit my posts, something I often wish I could when I re-read them and see all the typos and confused thoughts. (If I could I would edit my last post to add this to that).
Anyway, back to Smash.

Posted: 3/28/12 at 4:30pmDiva, glad I'm not the only one. I used to think the original Angelica could be considered attractive, a handsome woman. Now, with absolutely no character left in her face, it's like a smooth white canvas with black outlines, like a cartoon.

Yes, but her hair is exactly the same.
Maybe if she tried another style that doesn't look like a wig...

Posted: 3/28/12 at 5:38pmHow amazing would this show be if the Marilyn musical was ditched and they put on a stage version of Grease 2 instead?

I think this would be more suited for Karen.

Posted: 3/29/12 at 10:26amI caught up with this last night. HOW have we come this far without mentioning young Liza Streep as Angelica's daughter who was "out in the middle of India" when her dad slipped her the cool three mil? She had the incandescence and a little woodeness of a sprouting sapling. I'm hoping for a Katie's Choice between her parents and monitoring the Foxconn factory for the season cliffhanger.

Posted: 3/29/12 at 11:46amSo I just read somewhere that apparently Ellis the annoying assistant IS gay.

Wasn't that just the utmost?
"Katie! I thought you were in India. What are you doing here?"
"Lost had some leftover flashbacks, so I borrowed one to make you more sympathetic. Why is Daddy being such a dick?"

Mummy needs some of the beautiful little gorgeous little beautiful things I've picked out for the rat hole slum apartment that is literally worse than the worst slum I saw out in India that you're making her live in."

You just blew my mind.

Posted: 3/29/12 at 12:46pmOn E! Online, they said that Ellis is going to hook up with Uma Thurman's character's assistant...who is a guy.

Posted: 3/29/12 at 12:52pmWhich does not mean Ellis is gay. He'll just do ANYTHING for some red hot dish.

Ellis is whatever he needs to be to get what he wants.
Is it just me or does it look like she's taking it from behind in this shot?

Jack probably told her there IS one special thing she could do to maybe get the park back and that it would keep her innocence blow her sexuality on top. Or something.
Oh, and I forgot to say, I still think Cousin Debbie is channeling Miss Sandra Bernhard, most noticeably in this week's court room scene and with those fantastically INSANE sunglasses in Angelica's office.
#1069Smash - Series Discussion
Posted: 3/29/12 at 1:58pmThose sunglasses probably have their own SAG contract. They are the heart and sould of this show.

She's auditioning for Game Of Thrones.

Ellis is whatever the writers need him to be to create conflict. They don't seem to have any interest in him other than as a plot device. He might as well be a mysterious gift-wrapped box with a tag that says "DO NOT OPEN".

Community theater production of Angels in America would be my guess.
#1073Smash - Series Discussion
Posted: 3/29/12 at 3:06pmLooks like she's back in that Heaven on Earth show or whatever it's called. And it obviously makes her horny.

Posted: 3/29/12 at 7:17pmKaren is a menacingly dumb moron head. She really does have everything handed to her on a plate. Boyfriend probably foots most of the bills, her parents are there for her. She arrives late to the bar mitzvah gig in a tiny dress and strappy heels? and is glued to her phone all evening waiting for texts, doesn't know what she's doing, gets a record producer's attention. She arrives late at that appointment, too. She Roxily imagines herself in the lead role, which only highlights how inappropriate a choice she'd be. As a performer, she's not even in Ivy's league (heh).
