American Idol Winner Plus Finalists On Larry King Show 05-23-08

Topic: TV Shows

 

The 'American Idol' Winner

 PLUS  The  American Idol  Finalists On Larry King Show 05-23-08

The American Idol Finalists were featured on the hour long Larry King Show Friday May 23rd, 2008. Here are some of the comments made during that airing:

David Cook (DC) had resigned himself to Silver, Not Gold. DC had stood in line in Omaha, Nebraska auditions with his little brother.

DC - What happens next? Working out the kinks on a record deal, plus 'American Idol' Tour starts July 1st in Glendale and ends September 13th in Tulsa, OK.

DC mentioned 'The 4 Horsemen' which were Michael Johns, Jason yeager, DC and (?).

David Archuleta (DA) - Did the over the top congrats from the judges the Finale Night hurt you? He didn't think so.

DA had been on Star Search @12 and now Idol @17.

3rd segment of show: DC & DA were told the Idol Judges were on Larry King in mid April, (see our blog post), and were shown the clips about them.

DA laughs and says that 3 of his friends had DC's songs on their MySpace pages!

DC said the 8 month process from audition to now  was 'pretty heavy'.

Next segment - Syesha and Jason. Syesha said that DC would always cracking jokes, and DA was very humble.

Jason on Paula Abdul  commenting on 2 performances when he had only done 1 - smiled and just tried to smooth it over.

Jason also said the process got to be way more than he could handle.

Brooke and Carly brought out next: Brooke said about her missing lines - A lot of pressure up there on live TV. The piano muff was 'I missed my cue'. 2nd time - 'It was a blank wall'.

Carly said that her early music start was widely publicized by the media, and no that the record company had not spent that much on promoting her earlier failure.

Larry asked Carly if being from Ireland had hurt her. She said she 'wouldn't have made it 6th place if it did'.

DA says Carly was his 'mamma' during the process.

Michael Johns was in Las Vegas so was video streamed to the show. He said 'the rug was pulled out from under me' when asked what happened to him.

Kristy Lee Cook, Ramielle and Chickeze were brought on next. Chickeze said that "in an industry that usually give you very little, American Idol has given me a lot!"

There were some quick one line questions Larry then asked the Finalists, which can be seen in the video at the top right!

Part 2 of Larry King's 'American Idol' Finalist show will air on Monday May 26th in his time slot.

Our Take On Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull!
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: Comic Book Movies

 

"Our Take" 

On

'Indiana Jones

And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull'!

 

We are back from a late morning matinee seeing the new 'Indiana Jones' film. Tina, my pre-teen son, and myself are ready with 'Our Take' for our blog readers!

Tina's Take:

If you're nostalgic for Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, you'll treasure this new Indiana Jones  movie.

Why, if you keep a sharp eye out, you'll even catch a glimpse of the Ark!

Lucas draws heavily on the first, (and best), of the previous films with Ruskies subbing for Nazis, plenty of riddles, and confusing legends. He even brings back Marian, and Indy get to say everyone's favorite line, "Snakes, I hate snakes!"

Some of the most exciting scenes play homage to the first film. There's a long chase scene with Indy and his new side-kick jumping in and out of various vehicles. Indy battles a senseless brute in a circle reminiscent of the fight behind the propeller plane that ended so badly for his opponent in the earlier movie.

If you love Indy - and Harrison Ford is terrific - you'll love this movie! Score: 8.5

Michael's pre-teen son's Take:

Indiana Jones  & Kingdom... was a really great movie. It would be better if you viewed all three first, before seeing this one.

It was a lot better than the all the other Indiana Jones movies to me, and it would keep you in suspense. My favorite scene was with the monkeys! Score 9.5

Michael's Take:

This film was like revisiting an 'old friend' for me!

The opening scene 'dated' the movie for me in the mid 1950's and was picture and song perfect for that time.

The storyline was actually very well written, and I felt that Indy himself was updated very well, and that it was recognized that this was still a 'period piece', but set in the Days of the Red Scare of the 50's, instead of the Nazis era. 

This film actually seemed more 'real' to me as the 1950's is one of my favorite decades.

(Continued From First Column....)

Some critics have panned the film, but I for one enjoyed not seeing everything in CGI format that is rampant today. The film was more 'realistic' to me, and the background subject matter was one I enjoy.

So as not to spoil it for you, I won't go into that topic, but suffice to say that the first Indy Film and this one complement each other very well!

I wasn't as excited waiting to see this Indiana Jones Film as I was waiting for the Iron Man  film to debut, BUT this Indy Film needs to be seen on the BIG Screen first IMHO before the DVD comes out! Score 8.75

So Who's

'Hot'

 In Our Archived Blog Posts

Right Now?

 

None Other Than...

Bettie Page

 Laura Vandervoort

 Samuel L Jackson

& 'The 4400' TV Show!

 

These are the Big Four Of Our Top 10!

 

Regular Readers of our Blog know that I check our Blog Stats at least daily to see what topics bloggers are looking at!

Currently we have Four Standouts in our Top 10 Most Viewed!

The following topics are 'Hot' right now per our last 4,000 archived blog post views in less than the last 24 hours!

#1 is our Bettie Page - Jenny in The Rocketeer Film connection. That topic seems to always be in our Top 10 because of the cross-over of Bettie Page Fans and Rocketeer Fans.

#2 is Laura Vandervoort due to news that she won't be in Season 8 of Smallville, and that fans keep looking for her next inperson appearance.

#3 is Samuel L Jackson and the Nick Fury  connection at the end of the Iron Man Film that is out right now.

#4 is amazing to me, as the news that 'The 4400' won't be back for a Season 5 is old news, but more bloggers are giving this show a try. And they Should! Billy Campbell pictured at the top right was just on the Season Finale of 'Shark'. He is one cool but scary character!

The above round out our most viewed topics right now as of the past 4,000 page views...

Tina and I are pleased to say that this blog is averaging over 1,100 visitors a day right now, and that this Blog, (both versions), has had over 170 new RSS subscribers so far this week!

Mr. Moviefone On The New Indiana Jones Film
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: Comic Book Movies

 

Mr. Moviefone 

Suggests Watching This Movie!

 

If Nothing Less Than For The Nostalgia...

 

Indiana Jones 

And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Film!

 

Had a late breakfast with Tina this morning, so we both caught the 'Mr. MovieFone' segment on CNN's Robin Meade Show, 'Morning Express'.

'Mr. MovieFone' gave his opinion of the new 'Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull', saying among other things that 'you should see this if nothing else but the nostalgia'.

He also said that it's not a great movie, but that 65 year old Harrison Ford is good in it and is still witty.

He indicated that Spielberg still can craft a good movie. The film itself is pretty good, and in some scenes very good.

The kid actor, whose name he couldn't pronounce was also mentioned. 

Mr. Moviefone wasn't as emphatic about seeing see this as he was on his review of the Iron Man Film, but made it sound like that if you liked the first three Indiana Jones Films, then you'll like this one...

BTW, we're going tomorrow, as this is one we don't want to miss on the BIG Screen... woo-hoo! We'll be blogging about over the long 3 day weekend so come back to see 'Our Take' on it!

For those of you new to us, we have an ongoing Pop Culture  - Comic Con here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale! P
lease visit our blog again!

So Who's

'Hot'

 In Our Archived Blog Posts

Right Now?

None Other Than...

Desperate Housewives!

From Our  Archived Blog Post Of May 22nd, 2007!

The Season Finale!

Regular Readers of our Blog know that I check our Blog Stats at least daily!

Currently our blog post about the 'Desperate Housewives Season Finale' from May 22nd 2007 is in our Top 10 Most Viewed!

And why is it 'Hot' right now?

Because those bloggers are probably looking for 2008's Season Finale!  OOOPs!

Sorry about that bloggers!

Because of the WGA Strike earlier this year that affected our viewing habits, Tina and I stopped blogging about several shows, including Desperate Housewives!

However we did watch the return of this show and the Season Finale. However, we didn't blog about it...

With my own personal 10th Anniversary on the Web, we are re-constructing what endeavors including blogging that we want to do in the upcoming months.

This blog you are reading started off as a blog using the eBay Blog format. However eBay is once again making a change to the format, effective this upcoming July 2008.

So we are re-thinking the scope and format of this blog and its' sister blog that is in a different format elsewhere.

Tina and I are pleased to say that this blog is averaging over 1,100 visitors a day right now, and that this Blog, (both versions), has had over 150 new RSS subscribers so far this week!

Welcome aboard to all those new readers! We're glad you found us and want to read more in the days ahead from us! And 'Sorry about that Chief' to those bloggers looking for 'Our Take' on the 2008 Season Finale For Desperate Housewives!

For those new to us... we have an ongoing Pop Culture Convention - Comic Con here at Make It So Marketing, what with our daily blog posts and listings of items for sale! Come back anytime!
