SHAMELESS

SNL -- JAN 21, 2012 -- EMMA STONE & COLDPLAY (rerun from Nov 12, 2011)
Most of the sketches were funny, but only one or two were memorable. Emma Stone was not terribly visible (she had minor supporting roles in most skits). Actually, nothing seemed as visible as the commercials which seemed to take up more time than the sketches.
As is often the case, the wildest sketch was the last.
Here's a quick recap:
COLD OPEN -- The GOP Debate -- It was really like a trip back in time to see how the Republican field has changed. (This show originally aired in November 2011.) Here we had Perry crashing over his OOPS moment. Later, Weekend Update commented on the irony that one of the two departments Perry remembered he wanted to eliminate was... Education. Romney was as boring then as he is now.
Monologue -- Pretty lame. An amusing Spider-Man did come down from the sky upside down, and the movie Spider-Man showed up. (Emma will be in the next Spider-Man movie).
Secret Word -- It's the same joke we've seen a bunch a times. Seemed a little funnier than usual. Maybe just because they had the balls to do the same joke again. And again. And again.
WXPD News -- This is also a sketch concept we've seen before. The joke is that the aged street journalist keeps hitting people in the face with his mic, and does other unprofessional things that a decrepit, over-the-hill newsman might do. Same jokes. Still sort-of funny.
Digital Short -- ??? WTF ???
Coldplay -- They looked good on the set, and sounded good.
Weekend Update -- Except for the joke mentioned earlier, the jokes were kind of lame, as was the musical duo (another repeated sketch concept -- and, like the other repeats, it was based on incompetence-humor.) The Devil brought some wicked satire to the Penn State scandal.
Les Jeunes de Paris -- The best sketch of the night. It managed the trifecta/hat-trick! It was comedy; it was a story; and it was a dance. The comedy was actually funny. The story was clear. And it was all done with a good-looking/funny/story-dance.
Bridal Party -- This was possibly a concept that had promise -- one guest who seems the least cool provides the hottest gifts -- but the execution was just not quite right (partly because the actual skit was: the "nerdy" guest gave "crude" gifts).
Crying / Adele -- The perfect expression of an attitude.
We're Going To Make Technology Hump -- And they did! Nice way to end the show!
Here is one of the sketches. For more videos, see

ALCATRAZ & LOST GIRL
Two shows began tonight, ALCATRAZ & LOST GIRL...
ALCATRAZ is really two TV shows. The first is a standard crime drama, except that the criminal is known pretty quickly and he just has to be found before he kills again... oh, and he's also a criminal who disappeared from Alcatraz when it closed about 60 years ago... and he still looks the same. (That's the second TV show -- a standard (?) JJ Abrams what-the-hell-is-going-on premise probably to be played out with tantanlizing hints over as many seasons as the show runs.)
The execution is excellent. The cast is terrific. The writing is good. But we've seen both of these shows before, just not mashed up into the same show. (You can write the pitch: it's [INSERT A] meets [INSERT B].)
A = a JJ Abrams show, pick one
B = a crime show, pick one
ALCATRAZ ON IMDB
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1728102/
LOST GIRL is an appealing succubus story. The characters are very attractive, and the action is interesting and even a bit surprising, perhaps -- with a little SPARTACUS type gladiator-style action in the middle of the premiere. This seems to be an import by the SYFY channel of a show that is in its second succesful season in Canada.

SNL - JAN 14, 2012 - DANIEL RADCLIFFE WITH LANA DEL REY
This was a middle-of-the-road average show with one great sketch. The performances were fine. Radcliffe is a real pro, though he's best in character comedy (where he plays a character who is funny, rather than telling jokes, or being wild).
Lana Del Rey, who stirred some controversy for being a bit green -- her first album is not quite out yet -- was not much worse or better in performance than most musical artists. I find the SNL mix a fairly unflattering pulpit for most artists, even really famous ones.
Here's some notes on the show:
Cold Open -- A rather confused Mitt Romney. Not a great impersonation. Poorly written. Some of the usual Romney jokes.
Monologue -- Pleasant enough, but it seemed lacking in inspiration.
Ricky Gervais -- was funny, but the real Ricky Gervais is funnier (though the impersonation was so good, maybe it was the real Ricky Gervais). This was also a not-so-subtle plug for the Golden Globes tomorrow (Sunday 1/15) on NBC.
Target -- The crazy clerk. Nothing that hasn't been done before. More strange than funny.
You Can Do Anything -- This was an homage to SNL's favorite source of comedy: incompetence. The character's anthem: "I tried and therefore no one can criticize me."
Spin the Bottle -- Radcliffe was game for a bit of gross-out humor.
Delaware Fellas -- Another sketch based on incompetence humor; but they've got the plot of musical-group movies down pat.
Hogwart's 2020 -- The inevitable Potter sketch. The renditions of Potter characters years down the road was spot-on! But not much else in the sketch was funny.
Lana Del Rey -- She looks pretty. Her sound is a bit strange but she seems to have a huge range. Her mannerisms are seductive in a way that, together with her unusual sound, might generate either passionate cult fans or hilarious parody (or both). How many words rhyme with "do"? (You, few, two, .............)
Weekend Update -- The jokes were just OK. The North Koreans were just OK. Casey Anthony's dog was a star.
X27B Theater -- Taking a page from Sleeper, an audience 100 years from now looks at a play about people's behavior in 2012 and they find it ridiculously funny. A great concept, but not that well written or executed. Some things the future people find funny: our clothes, our bathrooms, our food, our commute to work...
Glenda Okones -- A candidate provides attack ads against herself. Not that well done, but each new Okones ad in between other commercials improves the concept a bit.
Jay Pharoah Show -- A combination of the two leading types of SNL humor: incompetence and impressions. Pharoah is one of my favorite newcomers, but this sketch is just the usual incompetent interview when the interviewer knows nothing about the interviewee -- in this case Daniel Radcliffe as himself -- and just does impressions.
Concord NH Exit Poll -- This is the one best sketch of the night; a brilliant parody of the classic Exit Interview. (Maybe it's not a parody, and is more like a documentary reconstruction.)
Headz Up -- Second best sketch of the night: An App that tells you what's happening in front of you. (Driving, and texting, the App tells you when to turn, crossing the street and texting, it tells you when you are about to get hit by a car, etc..) Alas, too many people could really use this product if it worked.
Not a bad SNL, but not a really good one either. Three good sketches: the Dog, the App, and the Pollster.

HOW THE WORLD BEGAN is a simple play about moderately simple people and fairly complex issues. Specifically, it is about small-town (Kansas) attitudes toward religion and big-city attitudes about science.
That's attitudes, because the play is about attitudes not substance.
A teacher, not that well prepared for the job, several months pregnant and sans guy, comes -- from the big-city to a Kansas town devastated by a tornado -- to teach biology.
The play begins when a student confronts the teacher over her use (before the play begins) of the term BOBBLEDYGOOK, apparently to describe Biblical views of (spontaneous -- God-given) creation.
Photo by Carol Rosegg
The set design is interesting. Suggesting a schoolroom reconstructed after the old school was destroyed, a complete biology classroom is constructed on top of a set of cinder blocks. The light for the room comes from what appear to be skylight windows on the top of the schoolroom (with the theatrical lights out of sight).

SPOILER ALERT
THE NEXT SECTION CONTAINS SPOILERS:
Here are some notes/observations about the play:
The play gets off to a somewhat rocky start, because the first scene seems stagey and unnatural. Aside from the fact that the boy seems too old to be in the class, the whole scene does not feel like any encounter that could happen in the real world of a high school.
There is something unreal and vague about the whole situation of the play -- it doesn't seem grounded: Does the teacher teach anything else? Why would she be hired to teach only biology? What part of the school year is this? The first class? What level is the class? A first class in science for seniors? How much preparation did the teacher have before she came to teach? Where are all the other teachers? the other classrooms?
The teacher (Heidi Schreck) is presented -- most likely with a deliberate intention -- as confused, unprepared, with personal baggage, and without "poetry" in her language. Adam LeFevre, as the boy's guardian, plays the role of "mediator" with straightforward reasonableness.
There is something admirable and important about trying to create "minimal" "normal" characters. I did not find, however, very much in the character of the teacher -- as it evolved over the course of the play -- that was very different, or more interesting, than the single sentence description above.
This play, of course, evokes memories of Oleanna -- student vs teacher -- and Inherit The Wind -- evolution vs. religion. This is a much more casual play than either of those.
I was most concerned, however, by the fact that the only objective of the teacher seems to be to keep her job. She does not ever confront (though they are briefly mentioned) the deeper issues of science and religion. Also, it is disappointing that any serious dealing with the religious views of the boy are undercut by revealing that he is very, very disturbed. His religious "convictions" are trumped by his profoundly troubled soul.
The final scene is most interesting. When the student reveals both tender feelings for the teacher, and how profoundly mentally shaken he is, suffering something like a seizure -- recalling the first scene -- the teacher comes to comfort him in a way that is almost inappropriate. But when he politely reacts to her joy that her baby is moving, she shuts him down immediately. Were this the beginning of the play, it would suggest a very promising dynamic, but at the very end, it just seems like an arbitrary piece of scripting to put a finish on the play.
Perhaps -- I mean this seriously -- the play is most interesting for how it dodges the serious issues and real questions that are raised in the first scene: teacher/student science/religion. For in the real world, most of the time, the truth is, these issues are dodged, not confronted, and never solved.
Here is a prizewinning film made by Justin at Rutgers:

2011 (Summary!) =>2012 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR
We wish everyone the best of
Health, Happiness,
Prosperity, Peace, Progress,
and Success in
2012!
* * *
* * *
Here is a summary/index of stories from 2011 in QPORIT.. And some glances forward into 2012.
SEE BELOW FOR OUR EXTENDED 2011 TOPICAL INDEX OF SELECTED STORIES!
Looking back, QPORIT continues to grow exponentially. December 2011 has been a record breaking month with the biggest traffic ever, beating our previous record holder (last month, November) by about 30% and almost doubling the traffic from a year ago.
Looking forward, we have two particular objectives:
1 --- We hope to increase our coverage of theater, especially Broadway! ... And Special companies like The Public Theater, EST, The Red Bull Theater, CSC, LAByrinth... etc! ... And cutting edge Indie OOB theater!
2 --- We also plan to extend our coverage of stereoscopic 3D, including more stories about the technology and theatrical and online content; and more 3D video production of our own, including interviews, webisodes, and music videos, all in stereoscopic 3D .
"3D CASTING" IN 2012: Beginning in the Spring, we will be actively looking to develop several projects:
1 - For film and theatrical projects you are involved in, we would like to interview you... or other principal cast or creative team members in 3D for QPORIT & BOBOOBLOG.
2 - We want to create a 3D music video with a brilliant new artist!
3 - We will be developing cutting-edge, edgy, pushing the envelope, 2D/3D webisodes, creating -- in addition to standard 2D content -- NEW 3D CONTENT FOR 3D HAND-HELD DEVICES & 3D TVs.
4 - We are looking to collaborate with an existing theatrical troupe to videotape in 3D their development of a short-short (4 min or less) dramatic piece with several characters, lots of physical action, nudity welcome but not required, and a strong story; Then, after documenting the development process we will film the resulting play in 3D.
We greatly appreciate all those who have participated in our projects, our stories, and our videos, and all those who have contacted us with information about potential stories.
Please let us know about 3D videos you'd like to participate in, or can help us to develop! (Contact QPORIT.webcast@gmail.com!)
And please Continue to send us Press Notices, (if we are on your list)! Or ADD US TO YOUR LIST for Screenings, Press Previews, Press Conferences Red Carpets, and other events if we are not already on your LIST!!!
