'Sounds like a good piece of advice about judging books and maybe people, but it doesnt go very well with movies. Take the new movie The Avengers. The previews were great and made you want to be the first in line on opening night, but when the cover was opened and the movie started, all the boring and thane filler was let in, free to mix with the legitimate entertaining scenes of the movie. ; - So I guess librarians could probably a thing or two. teach some movie-makeI 'John Steed (played by Ralph Fiennes), the dapper, umbrella-totin- g secret agent, finds himself teamed up with Emma Peel (Oma Thurman), the sexy weather researcher accused of blowing up her own building.

They say this and look at you expectantly, as if you're supposed to be shocked by such a number. If you ask me. I'm surprised the average human being even uses that much. Do you ever watch talk shows? Of course you do! Can someone tell me why people go on these things? Sure, they get to be in the public eye for a few minutes and be a part of the great and influential idea of mass media, but look at the subjects! I watched one a couple of nights ago where a person (I say person because I have yet to decide on what else we could call it) who, in front of millions and millions of people, told hisher boyfriend that heshe used to be a male. Not only will this completely ruin future relationships for the but how on earth is the poor boyfriend going to explain this to his friends who have doubtlessly seen this encounter on the television?

Recently it seems that a lot of teenagers go for a new look with hair dye or bleaching. Salon employees even notice teens coming in for the latest styles in color. When asking people if they have ever dyed their hair, the answer is generally yes. Not surprisingly, most have done it anywhere from five to seven times. ,, , Christina Eggli, a sophomore this fall at ., Northridge I Iigh School, has dyed her hair about seven or eight times. When asked if she ,, thought her hair was damaged, Eggli said yes, because I bleached it last time. On the other hand, Bryce Mumford, a recent graduate of Davis 1 igh, has dyed his hair six times but he doesnt think it is damaged.

J girl came on to find out who the real father of her child was after what seemed like every male in her city and the three surrounding cities was paraded across the stage. The big climax of the show w as when the host opened an envelope and announced the father like he won some big award. I was surprised he didnt stand up and make a speech and thank all the little people. I hate to admit this, but Im going to. I love talk shows. Any time I feel down and want to sec someone whose life is infinitely more pathetic and messed up than mine is, I just turn on the tube during the day and feel better almost instantly. I think talk shows are some of the best therapy. Think about it for a second. You think your family is weird? kid get Watch some You think married to his mother-in-layou have a hard high school life? Turn on Sally Jessy and watch a teenage girl get mocked because her hair is nappy. Where else can you appease that basic human need to watch large I'm watching an women episode as I wntc this called, Double Geek to Double Chic, Look at these Twins Now!! Lawanda and Latonya are bikini models who used to be geeky, and now they're confronting their old tormentcr. And another one: Two old fist-figh- a skimpy clothing. All the bases are covered, I think I should host a talk show. It would be a blast, man. I have all the spunk of Ricki Lake w nh a little of Montel's toughness. And 1 suck up better than Rosie. Just think, I could get flashed by a lot of skanky white trash girls, get in fights with the KK.K and meet celebrities. I've got some ideas for topics, too. Tell me you wouldnt tune in to sec topics like, Skanky While Trash Gnls I lash the Camera and Light I Over Nasty While Trash Guys, Used to Be a Geek, But T hen I Bleached Mv Hair And Got Implants" or, Large Women Wear Skimpy I Clothing And Get In I ery episode would involve strippers, and we'd have at least one pimp fight per day. I'm going to do it, and I'm going to be loaded. I understand that talk shows have absolutely no value to society except Uii pure entertainment. But that's what I like. I dont want my entertainment to be muddled up with any sort of moral or meaning That's why I like action ; employees of McDonald's with the nicknames McFatt and McFatter are now skinny. What wonderful success stones. topic is I My favorite Pretend To Lose You. But Now I Hate You. What an uplifting thing. Can you imagine being called up on the phone by a major talk show and invited to come on the show? You get all dressed up, you gel on the plane, fly down to the studio, and your fiance tells you that she cant stand you. These stones really make me feel like there's hope for our future. I was also really impressed by the topic My Mom Dresses 1 oo Sexy, and I'm I mbarrassed To Go Out With Her. These episodes appease our basic human need of seeing large women in all-ti- mov ics.
