The thing is she has unbelievable talent. I've seen Youtube vids of her singing before she got famous and her voice is incredible. But she traded it all in for gimmicky costumes and junky techno beats. I much preferred her back when she was just regular old Stephanie.

I love doing the voices but Jim Dale is the master. The audiobooks are seriously entertaining on road trips. For the last, he had to create 146 voices. I believe that's the Guiness World Record for most voices in an audiobook.

I've also REALLY heard her sing, and she actually is very good. But like you said, it's a shame that she's now where she's at. I'll admit.. I rock out to Kesha and Katy Perry while I'm driving, but I CAN NOT get on board with Lady Gaga. Her songs are terrible.

Those of you who hate The Office can at least appreciate that some of the humor is fitting for an actual office environment.

I'm watching the TBS "marathon" and am reminded of the hilarious Diversity Training episode. LOL.

That is my favorite episode of The Office.

My wife was never an Office fan -- like many others, she found some of the characters just too obnoxious and annoying. "Yes," I would say, "and I've worked with every single person at Dunder Mifflin." Sad, but true. That's why I love to laugh at them.

That said, I think The Office in its British and American incarnations is a prime example of how Americans tend to keep shows around too long, while the British tend to leave you wanting more.

That's why I also like The Office. I've worked with a Pam, Jim, Stanely, Creed, Angela, and a Kevin

AVATAR


It was interesting, visually stimulating, and very overrated.

You left out the totally derivative, unoriginal and predictable plot. Very overrated.

The best part of the movie is the graphics. That is the only reason I eventually saw it.

Jodi Picoult-This is hard for me to admit because I've read most of her books. I think I keep reading her books, hoping and praying that the next will be different, but they aren't. EVERY book that I've read of hers has some sort of court battle in it. Her books are truly getting predictable, but I keep reading hoping that it will be different.

I like it better when it was called Dances With Wolves.

Black Eyed Peas was the bomb before Fergie.

Avatar = Fern Gully + Pocohantas + a touch of Smurfs with superb graphics

LOL @ smurfs....Is it cuz they're blue? I totally forgot about Fern Gully. I like the Dances With Wolves comparisons as well. Very fitting.

I feel like all Cameron films are overrated. Spielberg too.

Yes, but PiKA2001 said Cameron and Spielburg.

Oh, I love movies for entertainment. But for me it's not entertaining if I don't care about the plot. It doesn't have to be a deep or thought-provoking plot, but it does need to be a decent story.

Meanwhile, also way overrated: 3D movies.

I tried to watch Avatar a couple of times. I became bored very quickly each time. I'll have to take people's word for it.
