TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN (Page 60)

this is a thing?

no.  definitely no.

A few years ago, on a trip to LA, I went to the pilot recording of On the Lot, a reality show competition for budding movie directors.

After running through the short movies that had been assigned for the pilot show, the panel of judges gave feedback/critique, and ultimately it was voted on by the viewing public to determine who got booted.

At the end of the show after the participants had left, nobody in the audience was permitted to leave because the producer wanted to re-record the judges comments, some of which were very different, like, "that was poor" to "love what you did, great potential" different. All, i assume, in an attempt to skew public voting.

Plus, all shots of the audience laughing, clapping, looking shocked or confused, were all pre-recorded prior to any of the show being filmed.

Since when can you not trust Hollywood?

Yeah we went to a "live" taping of The Voice earlier this year - learned so much!

Every single intro/extro was filmed prior to the live show starting. So the audience had to clap and scream for literally 15 minutes straight as Carson Daley introduced each singer and each commercial break back to back to back. They had people calling out audience members who were not enthusiastic enough, or sections that were sitting down too soon.

Then when Blake Shelton performed "live" - it was actually recorded before the show, twice back to back, and inserted during the show. And the Sheryl Crow "live" performance? Completely pre-recorded, she was not even in the building. We watched it on a jumbo screen with the rest of the country.

LIVE TV MY ARSE.

So much fun though!

Pre game, duh. 

Just kidding, if you still have a short run to do I'd knock that out. I think I have one 2-miler left tomorrow.

but rain!  blah!

Good luck to all Chicago marathon people!!! 

Happy Freaky Friday to everyone.  Watch a raccoon struggle to get his corn fed fat body out of a city storm drain this morning followed by an opossum.   Maybe not freaky Friday, maybe they were just getting some strange?????

GREAT news!

G'luck to all you'se marathongers this weekend!

I'm ecstatic that I am NOT racing at all this weekend.  Nothing. Zip. Zilch!  I am attending a Sara Bareilles concert Saturday night with the girlfriend and daughters, though that may or may not be traumatic.

p.s.  still at home drinking coffee.  I don't wanna drive into the office. I'm waaaay too comfy and relaxed here, and besides, it's Friday... they should just let me stay here today. Waah!

Good luck to the marathoners!!!  Have a great race!

Today I am going to get my new ink done!!  I am excited.

I think you might do better than you expect.  Believe me, you will hardly detrain at all in three weeks.  G'luck, though!

I want to go fishing... but not serious fishing.  I want to go camping and then kill a small part of each day pretending to fish.

The finish line is in sight. 1 hour to go over here.

Good luck this weekend Chicago people.

Yeah, it's pretty standard.  They have spoofed it on some sketch comedy shows.  Basically the gist is a poor editing job where thy show interviewer making the wrong response reaction like laughing at the wrong time.

Whatcha flying?

Good luck in Chicago all!

Matt

I should have gone to Chicago.  But no, I have to go across town for a screening of a 4 minute short film.  yay.

Oh, and maybe it's the coffee talking, but the IM bug is sniffing...  Not a full blown bite, or even a nibble, but the bug is in the room...

You should dabble.  Maybe do an Olympic

4 minute film??  Can't they just zip up a digital copy, or upload it to YouTube for you?

That's just silly.

It's the same old "crap".  If I don't go see the wife's "work", then I don't care/not supportive.  If I complain, I'm a D-bag.  SO, since it's close to my office but at 6.  I have to work late or find a bar until 6 then go.  OR, drive home at 5, sit around for 15 minutes, then drive all the way back.

All for a 4 min short film screening at the director's house with only the people that made it, and they will only talk about how much they like themselves and their work.

Yay.

Eww.  My condolences.
