Okay, I watch this expecting to see nekkid boobies (I had reason to expect that ) because it had Courtney Cox (I thought she was kinda hot) and because it sounded like "Celeb News as a TV show". So yeah, I'm about 35 minuets in and I can see it's pretty shite (what a surprise ). The characters are weak - apart from Cox. I haven't really figured out who is who yet anyway so I'm just going with descriptions. Cox seems to be the best actress by far even though her character's already totally fucked up (supposedly tough bitch but then she goes back to musician/bar-boy? Yeah, right )...apparently her name is Lucy. Then there's Don (?) the schizophrenic paparazzi guy. Okay, they deserve credit for apparently actually making him a schizophrenic instead of a guy with multiple personalities. And the idea with the music coming out of the different thingies with the pills? Still, he seems forced as well (and the bloody rain drops? )- trying to make him the "troubled guy". No thanks. Loser-actor-guy? WTF is up with him? No use, really. His hot girlfriend? But apart from being -worthy? Not much. "Julia"? Okay, the "I'm so totally catholic, I can't!" made me laugh. Which leaves us with musician/bar guy? What's the point there? Show Lucy's human side? Fuck that shit. Also - the drug usage while entertaining seems pointless. As does the sex scene between black dude and the hooker (and they didn't even show any nipple ). So yeah, I guess I'll just keep watching. Additions: The cat? Glad she's dead. Seemed like a lot of vomit though. And again, the blonde actress chick really makes this worth my time. Also, did catholic girl just die? And wasn't she called Julia at one point? Car accident = bad. Really bad. And now he's just getting out? If hot chick is dead I'm gonna be really pissed...yep, looks that way. So who are the main characters in this show? The car just exploded...and again... This show has so jumped the fucking shark (okay, it already did so after the first 5 minutes with the stupid IM scene...). At least the music seems somewhat decent. And what's this now? Self doubts? Oh for fuck's sake. Don and Lucy doubting themselves in ep ONE already? Lucy CRYING? At least hot chick seems to still be alive...Good.
Ok, ignore that post up there... sure it is forced, it's the pilot... But I think it is good so far. Moral plays, selling souls, paranoia, sex, drugs... It's getting behind the scenes look at the cycle of celebrity.
When did they shoot this shit? There was an ad for a Harry Potter movie in the second ep. And it still sucked. I have no fucking clue why I even bother watching this.
