The Dude on the Right’s “American Idol” Wrap-Up. The Dude Liked Katharine’s Dress; The Dude’s Mom, not so Much.

By:

The Dude on the Right

I was lax in getting a latest "Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up" coordinated, but
at least here is my "American
Idol
" wrap-up.  I didn’t think

Katharine
was nearly as bad as the judges made her out to be, although maybe
I was too busy waiting for something to pop out of her dress.  I do think
she has the entire package to be an Idol, but think she smiles and mugs too much
for the camera.  I’m tired of

Kellie Pickler
, and really don’t think she is as "I’m scared" as she
pretends to be.  My mom is still a

Taylor
fan, but for me, the entertainment portion of this show has really
come down to Paula Abdul, described by

Christina Filiaggi
(ignore the bio, head to the link for the "sailor suit
picture") as "2 AM in a bar."  Because I hate to steal a quote as good as
that one, she’s on
The Roe
Conn Show
, here in Chicago.

That’s it for this one!  I’m The Dude on the Right!!  L8R!!!

Episode 4: Scary Movie 4

By:

The Dude on the Right


Well, it seems we didn’t qualify for the "Howard
Stern Film Festival
" with our last creation, a "Stu & The Dude" reviewin’ "Private
Parts
." Oh well, but I did learn some new animation lessons from sending
that in, some of which are incorporated into our "Scary Movie 4" review. Some
others, well, I guess I didn’t pay enough attention, hence some of the weird
framing and lettering. I guess, "Oh well" again.

In any case, I liked "Scary Movie 4" more than Stu did, but I admit something
to Stu that maybe I shouldn’t have. Stu gave the movie 2 ½ stars out of 5, I
gave it 3 ½ stars, but Stu just didn’t understand my happiness.

Thanks for watching, and we welcome your comments.

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: Some Travels, Some Movies, and Taking the “East” out of Easter.

By:

The Dude on the Right

We’re a day late and a few dollars short, but thanks to a holiday weekend this
episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up" comes today instead of yesterday. 
Stu and I cram a whole lot of things into this podcast, things like stolen
bleachers in my hometown, should you really be watching "Brokeback Mountain"
with kids under four in the room, Easter traditions, and even more movie talk. 
I also have a problem that I discuss with Stu about folks trying to get Harry
Potter books pulled from school libraries.  My wonder is what is the
difference between casting a spell and praying?  First I’m taking the
"East" out of Easter, and now I’m comparing casting spells to praying. 
That, and I really like movies geared for the teen audience.  What the hell
is wrong with me?  Oh well, happy
listening!

Bon Jovi says: “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.” I Went Home.

By:

The Dude on the Right

Bon Jovi sometimes has some
of the best words of wisdom.  Fine, sometimes those words might be sort of
cliché, but who can’t appreciate the advice of "I’ll
Sleep When I’m Dead
."  It’s a simple phrase, and I’ve used it many a
time, mostly when I was drunk, at four in the morning, when people are telling
me I should just go back to my room and go to sleep.  I’d tell them "I’ll
sleep when I’m dead," give them about five minutes of my whit and humor, and
then at about 4:05, well, I’m heading to my room to go to sleep.  Ahhh,
those college days!  Anyway, this time I took the advice of their latest
hit, the one getting airplay on the country side of things with the very cute
babe
Jennifer Nettles
from "Sugarland,"
namely the song "Who
Says You Can’t Go Home
," because, well, this past weekend, I went home. 
Yup, it was off to the old country to visit my parents for
Easter
weekend, you know, the weekend where we celebrate everything about bunny rabbits
that we can think of.  We celebrate them as chocolate, we celebrate their
eggs (even though they are mammals), we celebrate them as blow-up dolls, and we
celebrate them in pastel colors.  And don’t forget the "Peep,"
which is really cool when you toss it in the microwave.  Now I hear that
some religious folks are upset because we are taking, umm, the "East" out of
"Easter."  Man, that doesn’t work nearly as easily as taking the "Christ"
out of "Christmas," but in any case, they are upset that various communities are
turning "Easter" celebrations into "Spring" celebrations.  Man, I hate to
get off on a tangent, but for the most part, because, well, Christians are still
the majority in this country, and well, they adopted the "Easter Bunny," that’s
why Christians are in this predicament.  But the United States is a melting
pot, and we keep melting together more and more, and damn, I’ve got to get off
of this tangent because it won’t make anyone happy because this Blog was
supposed to be about my going home.  Let’s get back to that.

The Most Comfortable Toilet.

Anyway, for
this blog, I originally had planned on doing it yesterday, taking some fun
photos that would embarrass me about being home, pictures of things like the xxx
that I was staying in, my xxx collection, our xxx on the wall, our xxx in xxx,
and xxx School where I went to in my teens that is now closed.  Then, of
course, there would be the pictures of what I think is the most comfortable xxx,

 my xxx from when I played xxx, and a xxx that I wish was bigger when I was
younger.  Sadly, for this trip, the battery in my digital camera died, so
all of those "xxx"’s will just have to wait until maybe the next trip home.

So, I went home, and all in all, it was a good time.  I trimmed some
raspberry plants, trimmed some roses, made homemade horseradish, saw "Scary
Movie 4" (our video podcast review should hopefully be done by the end of this
week here and on 

),
did some puzzle making, and had a few slices of the best pumpkin pie in the
world.  Bon Jovi says "Who Says You Can’t Got Home," but it was just good
to be home.

Spring is here, I’m gearing up for summer, and I hope you had a
nice weekend, whether it be about bunnies, yarmulkes, a Resurrection, or just
about getting good deals at the store because of a Christian religion.  But
just don’t forget about Bon Jovi, because for most of us, you can go home.

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

 

The Dude on the Right’s “American Idol” Wrap-Up for the Sing-a-Queen-Song Episode.

By:

The Dude on the Right

This is my "American Idol"
recap for the music of
Queen
episode, which wasn’t quite the disaster I thought it would be,
although no one totally stepped-up to the level of performer
Freddie
Mercury
was.  I’m also getting more and more concerned about

Chris
and his being truthful about things although I can’t totally blame him
this week, part of that also goes to
Brian May.  That is
as long as the internet information is correct.  Why?  You’ll have to
listen to the podcast, which also includes my "Paula Clips of the Week!" 
I’ve got to come up with some fun sounding audio for when I announce the "Paula
Clips of the Week," but for now it’s just the clips.

Happy
listening!

Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up: Lots of Movie Talk – “Ice Age 2,” “Thank You For Smoking,” and “The Benchwarmers.”

By:

The Dude on the Right

It was all my fault, but we failed to do a "Stu & The Dude Weekend Wrap-Up" last
week, so both Stu and I have a lot of movie talk to catch up on.  Stu gives
his take on "Ice Age 2: The Meltdown," while I talk about "Thank
You For Smoking
" and "The
Benchwarmers
."  And as I’m as I’m proud of our entry into the Howard
Stern Film Festival, Stu can understand my fear if we actually qualify and my
mom wants to see what we’ve come up with.  Oh well, it was nice being a
part of the family.

Anyway, it’s good to get back in the groove of getting
things posted.  Our next podcast will be my "American Idol" recap posted
sometime on Wednesday, and with this coming weekend being Easter, things might
get a little hectic, but I might do a podcast during my travels.  Happy
listening!

Our “Howard Stern Film Festival” Entry is Done. Back to Our Normal Posting Schedule.

By:

The Dude on the Right

Sadly I’ve been shirking some of my duties here at Entertainment Ave! as I was
working hard on finishing our entry into the "Howard
Stern Film Festival
."  It’s a special episode of our movie reviews, but
per rules, unless we win, you’ll never see it.  That is kind of sad, but
maybe kinda good because it would be kind of hard to explain to my mom how our
humor could get so sick.

Anyway, with that done, I was able to catch a few
flicks this past weekend, namely "Thank
You For Smoking
" and "The
Benchwarmers
," both of which I enjoyed in their own way of being enjoyed.

Thankfully I am almost caught up on all of my TV viewing from last week. 
"Lost" is still weird, but I still like it, people on "Survivor" are still
stupid, in my opinion, the boys doing "South Park" are entering dangerous
territory, and "24" tosses a huge monkey-wrench into the mix by showing it is
the President causing all of our latest troubles for Jack and not the V.P. 
I did not see that coming at all.  All I’ve got left are a couple of
episodes of "Smallville" to get through, and re-watch last week’s "Sopranos"
before I catch the next episode.  I won’t be doing any catching up tonight
because I’ll be at the Cubs’ game (watch for me on one of the rooftops, I’ll be
the one with the bag over my head and a cowboy hat!), but we’ll get a new
podcast posted Monday night, and finally get back to our normal posting
schedule.

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

 

The Dude on the Right’s “American Idol” Recap for March 28th.

By:

The Dude on the Right

Well I did it, completed another wrap-up and analysis of "American Idol." 
This was for the March 28th broadcast where the theme of the night was songs of
the 21st Century, and by the contestant’s choices, you would think the the music
of the 21st Century pretty much sucks.  Lisa Tucker underwent a drastic
make-over, Chris may have lost all of his rocker street cred by doing a Creed
song, and someone else needs to pick out the clothes for Katherine.  My
choice for getting booted off this week is Bucky, which if my picks in the
previous weeks are any indication, Bucky should be safe.

Even if you don’t
want to listen to all of my rambling comments about the specific contestants, at
least fast-forward to my "Paula Abdul Clips of the Show," and how sort of like
that radio dude in St. Louis had a slip of the tongue, so did Paula.  I did
some audio analysis, and I just hope Paula doesn’t lose her job over it,
although it might open up Fox to some more FCC fines.

Episode 3: Last Holiday

By:

The Dude on the Right


Sure, "Last Holiday" is out of the theaters, but it comes out on DVD on May 2,
2006, so I suppose this is an early DVD review.  In any case, it’s our
third installment of "Stu & The Dude Reviewin’ the Movies for You!", and for
this episode it’s the Queen Latifah movie, "Last Holiday."  Stu couldn’t
believe he actually liked the movie, so much so that he had to resort to
something manly to get through the rest of the day.  We’ve added some
camera movements to the video podcast, so I would appreciate your input whether
you like them or not.

Thanks for watching, and we welcome your comments.
