    Let's Talk Movies #36 - 2020 - Yep it is a new decade

    The past Naked Gun movies were always about slapstick. It was low brow and over the top silly and that was what the audience loved about it. Those films were never "sophisticated".

    U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

    One thing I appreciate about Sarah is that she's willing to try a different style, for example, this year's LP to "Poor Thing". I think the choreography and music choice for her LP are interesting. They're not everyone's cup of tea and it might not pay off with with judges but kudos for going...

    Let's Talk Movies #36 - 2020 - Yep it is a new decade

    You think the film will get some Oscar nominations? It's a big failure at the box office in its opening weekend and is quickly disappearing from the theatres, which makes me think that its Oscar chances are slim to none. I can see JLo probably getting a Golden Globe nom but that's about it. I...

    2025-26 US Pairs Discussion - Milano-Bound By Way of Beijing & St. Louis

    I thought ShiNagi's program was decent. I was better than at John Nicks'. There was a lack of emotion, but I liked their speed in the second half and they were clean-ish. Which current American pair programs do you think are actually good? No programs from any of the American pairs at the John...

    U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

    I don't think Liu's Gaga LP is much of an improvement choreographically over the Donna Summer LP last season, which in itself was already very empty. I'm surprised that M. Scali is only able to come up with these junior-ish programs for two seasons in a row. I also think the SP this season is...

    U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

    I just listened to "This Is How It Feels” by d4vd & Laufey. It sounds awfully similar to Alysa's last season SP music. I hope the choreography will be different enough that it won't look like a carbon copy of last year's.

    2025-26 Program Music and Choreographers

    Why do what is expected? The difference between creative people and non-creative people is that the former don't go for cliche. How would anyone know without first seeing the program ?

    2025-26 Program Music and Choreographers

    When people think of James Bond music, people immediately go to the instantly recognizable James Bond theme and think of male skater dresses in a tux-like outfit and doing the cliche gun pointing at the audience/judges gesture. Granted, many young skaters skating to JB do adopt that. But...

    Tom Holland of Spiderman fame? He's short and still looks like a teenager. There's no way that rumor is anywhere remotely true.

    The tipping dilemma in the US?

    Just curious as to how much you pay for a haircut in the U.S.? I'm old enough to remember when I had to only pay $5 ! Then after a couple of years it was $20. Now it cost me $50. I do not have complicated hair; My haircut is very straightforward and takes no more than 15-20 minutes, depending...

    1976 Olympics Ladies LP - high quality!

    I think Fratianne's 76 LP was really the only good LP that she had. Her performance at the 76 National was outstanding (there's only a grainy video of it though) and also very good at Worlds that year. Unfortunately it kinda went downhill from there for her in term of being able to improve on...

    The online hatefulness directed at Snow White and its star Rachel Zegler is really sad to see. I hope families with little kids will support the film this weekend. The new song "Waiting On A Wish" is very catchy, if a bit too familiar; Zegler has a great voice and sings the heck out of it.
