For this movie review of “Shrek the Third” The Dude on the Right has finally realized that he’s not really a big fan of the “Shrek” movie franchise. He appreciated the novelty of the first film, didn’t even review the second, and for this installment, “Shrek the Third,” he can understand why kids might like it, but feels this movie was made more for the money rather than the story.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Dreamz Blew His Post-“Survivor” World, and An “American Idol” Conspiracy Theory.
For this podcast The Dude on the Right is happy that Britney Spears found a higher power that likes her getting naked. Alright, almost naked, but he also analyzes how Dreamz from “Survivor” screwed up his post-“Survivor” life. More importantly, though, The Dude has his own “American Idol” conspiracy theory, noticing the resemblance of Whitney Houston in her “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” days and the marketing of Jordin Sparks, if only Jordin would lose a few more pounds.
Dreamz Blew His Post-“Survivor” World, and An “American Idol” Conspiracy Theory.

Well it looks like
Britney Spears has found a higher power to help her, and that higher power
lets her get naked, at least from the waist up. Well, almost naked because she
is wearing some white gloves. Sadly her arms get in the way of her boobies.
But
this podcast isn’t about Britney and my being in her prayers. Nope, this
podcast is about how Dreamz failed to see the larger "Survivor" picture when he
went back on his word and didn’t give Yau-Man immunity at the last challenge,
and also, maybe more importantly, my
"American Idol"
conspiracy theory. You may remember this line from my last blog
"I wouldn’t be surprised if Jordin or Blake actually win", and guess what,
Melinda got booted and Jordin or Blake will win. The Howard Stern News’
Staff have their investigation, and I only have my theories (mostly based on
Jordin being close to being cloned as Whitney Houston in her "I Wanna Dance with
Somebody" years if only Jordin could lose some more weight), but it’s really
looking like the only way for Idol to get its credibility back is to have an
outside accounting firm analyze, certify, and release the voting totals.
Right now I only watch because, for my job, I have to.

The Final Two for American Idol should be Sanjaya and Melinda.
By:
The Dude on the Right
So Howard Stern’s crack news staff, or at least Steve Langford, is hell bent on
finding out the truth if the folks in charge of "American Idol" pretty much send
home who they want to, thus meaning all of those votes you cast don’t really
mean much. I’m still sticking with my conspiracy theory of Sanjaya getting
booted off the week before their big charity show, and I still find it odd that
they don’t actually tell us who got how many votes.
Conspiracies aside, I’m
really happy this season is almost over because I really don’t care if any of
them win. I suppose, for shear comic value, we should get on the Blake
bandwagon, but according to the Howard 100 News, and Mr. Langford’s sources
Blake is already set to be sent home this week. We’ll see how the voting
pans out, but in any case here’s what I thought about
tonight’s singing.
First the songs the judges picked for the final three…
Jordin (from Simon): Sings "Wishing on a Star." Horrible outfit –
it looks like she’s wearing a bra and a slip. Singing was okay, but it
should be by this point. Ehh.
Blake (from Paula): Sings
"Roxanne." Nice vest. I actually thought he did a good job with the
song, and so glad he didn’t screw it up with his beat-boxing crap he has been
doing in previous shows. The problem is he’s not Sting.
Melinda (from
Randy): Sings "I Believe in You and Me." She’s really close to being the
entire package except for, and I hate to say this, but only some superficial
things. She still needs to stop showing her upper gums, needs a little
dental work to close the front gap in her teeth, and she’s done a good job with
her weight so far, just needs to drop a couple more pounds. Her singing
kicks ass, now it’s only superficiality for me.
Now the songs the producers
picked for them…
Jordin: Sings "She Works Hard for the Money." I
think I just figured out Jordin’s problem – she can’t work the audience.
She sings fine enough, but when she tries to "perform" it looks like she is
trying too hard and just doesn’t connect.
Blake: Sings "This Love." He
was doing really well until he went back to the beat-box thing. Maybe the
little girls like it and think it’s funny, and I know it tries to help him from
just doing a cover version, but I hate it. Get rid of the beat-boxing crap
and he was great, and a better performer than Jordin.
Melinda: Sings "Nutbush
City Limits." She rocked out, did great, and she should win, although she
needed to lose the mike stand and just roam the stage with the microphone.
And
now the songs the top three picked for themselves…
Jordin: Sings "I
(Who Have Nothing)." She creaked a bit on a couple of notes. It’s a
powerful song, and she didn’t sell it by staying in the middle of the stage and
not working the crowd.
Blake: Sings "When I Get You Alone." It’s
too bad the fact that as a performer he is probably the best of the three, and
stop it with the beat box. I didn’t like the beginning of the song, I grew
into it as the song went on, but since I hate his beat box shtick I lost it at
the end.
Melinda: Sings "I’m a Woman." She shows exactly why she should
win, even if she isn’t the pop-idol mold.
Much like I believed Yau-Man should
have been the winner on "Survivor," but thanks to Dreamz who totally didn’t
think of the big picture of life after "Survivor" and screwed Yau over, for
"American Idol" everyone thinks Melinda has this season in her hip pocket.
Since I’m not surprised Sanjaya was booted the week before the charity show I
wouldn’t be surprised if Jordin or Blake actually win. I love
conspiracies.

What’s New? A Movie Review of “28 Weeks Later.”
For this movie review of “28 Weeks Later,” The Dude on the Right liked it a little better than the original “28 Days Later.” A lot of the stuff was similar to the first film, but The Dude thinks this movie has the best helicopter scene ever. He also can’t believe the stupidity of Tammy, the sister in the movie, who might have just killed us all.
What’s New? A Movie Review of “Delta Farce.”
For this movie review of “Delta Farce,” The Dude on the Right will simply tell you that this is not a great movie, but if the trailer made you laugh, well, you’ll probably like it. Most reviewers won’t, and he didn’t like it too much, but you know exactly the kind of movie you will get from the trailer. See it at your own risk.
What’s New? A Podcast of: Paris and Jail, The Hoff in Trouble, and May is a Sad Month.
For this podcast The Dude on the Right ponders the trouble of many celebrities in these last couple of weeks, namely Paris Hilton, David Hasselhoff, and Alec Baldwin. He is also in mourning since it is May and most of his TV shows will be wrapping up in the next couple of weeks, namely “American Idol,” “Survivor,” and “The Sopranos,” although he can’t believe he forgot to talk about Julianne Hough and not being able to find her naked.
Paris and Jail, The Hoff in Trouble, and May is a Sad Month.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Since it’s a Thursday podcast I’m flying solo, but all I know is that it’s been
a rough couple of weeks for some celebrities, especially Paris Hilton who might
be going to jail, David Hasselhoff who was drunk and loses visiting his
daughters, and although the Alec Baldwin voice mail has died down, we still
remember him.
But May is a sad month for me because it means most of my
favorite TV shows are coming to an end. "American Idol" only has three
contestants left, "Survivor" wraps up this Sunday, on Mother’s Day, I’ve got a
boatload of "Smallville’s" to catch up on my TiVo, "The Sopranos" are almost
done, and I can’t believe I forget to mention "Dancing With the Stars"
in this podcast with the new love of my life, Julianne Hough, who, as far as
I know, hasn’t gotten naked, although from my website statistics, that’s what a
lot of you are looking for.

Barry Gibb & The Bee Gees on Idol or Julianne Hough on Dancing.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Oh my God. Tonight it’s the music of Barry Gibb and The Bee Gees.
I
guess the American Idol people want to try to throw another monkey-wrench into
the show by picking music only the parents will know and most every kid will
have no idea of the songs. Me, I’ll admit I’ve always liked the Bee Gees,
but damn, maybe American Idol needs to quit doing these "music of…" shows and
just let the singers pick songs from week to week. Maybe we don’t need the
"star" coaching and just need to see some real music coaches, or maybe some
weeks where Simon, Paula, and Randy actually "coach" the contestants, especially
towards the end of the competition.
Anyway, here’s what I thought about
tonight’s singing.
Melinda (1): Sings "Love You Inside and Out."
Nothing to say about her anymore. She knows how to bring it every week,
and although Simon didn’t seem to like it that much, umm, , and pardon my
French, but it’s the fuckin’ Bee Gee’s night – What the hell is she supposed to
do? In the words of my buddy Stu Gotz, ’nuff said.
Blake (1):
Sings "You Should be Dancin’." Barry thinks Blake’s "beat-boxing" is an
ability. Blake just epitomized why sometimes it was great the Chicago
radio dude Steve Dahl held "Disco Demolition" many years ago. What the
hell was that mess?
LeKisha (1): Sings "Stayin’ Alive." Just bad.
Jordin (1): Sings "To Love Somebody." Barry loved her, and I think,
depending on her next song, this might have just bounced her back into the
competition. Did nice version of the song and performed it well.
Melinda (2): Sings "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." She’d rather be
wet than be a loser? She sings well and performs well, but there isn’t
much you can do with this song. She tried to "soul it up," and that added
a different dimension to the song, but we already know that about her.
Blake (2): Sings "This is Where I Came In." Good, Blake, sing a song that
both the kids and the parents don’t know, and screw it up by "beat-boxing" it,
and he did. It sounded like a Boy George throw-back, and not a good one at
that.
LeKisha (2): Sings "Run to Me." Barry does give her good advice,
to kick it up earlier, and she listens. She still sings with a slight lisp
at times, missed a note or two, and is looking better except for the gap in her
teeth which she can’t do anything about until after the show ends, but this song
was a better choice although not great.
Jordin (2): Sings "I Am A Woman
in Love." Barry loved her again, but she needed to "hip" it up just a tad
because why do we want to really hear a Barbara Streisand cover on American Idol
in 2007? Even so, her songs this week might keep her alive for another
week.
As much as I like The Bee Gees and Barry Gibb, I still question having
this be a theme for the week. All they are doing now is torturing the
contestants into trying to find songs they don’t know, and don’t know how to
sing, although I did get a laugh when even Barry Gibb made fun of his singing.
I’ve got to wrap up this blog about the American Idol singing because, and I
hate to say this, I don’t really care about the contestants anymore. I’ve
got to switch TV channels to see who gets booted off of "Dancing With the
Stars." All I know is it better not be Apolo Anton Ohno dancing with the
new love of my life, Julianne Hough. She’s hot.

What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast: Second Life, Spider-Man 3, Yay for a Midas, and Marketing to Kids.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!” The Dude on the Right is starting to question the coolness of Stu Gotz with Stu’s listening to public radio and watching the BBC. But other things are more important like The Dude trying to get a Second Life, The Dude not getting screwed over when the brakes on the dude-mobile started squeaking, and seeing “Spider-Man 3.” Stu, in the meantime, had to fight the Spidey marketing because he isn’t so sure his little guy could handle seeing the movie, and Stu also brings up if Kirsten Dunst is hot or not. They also have their normal conversation about TV, this time mostly about “The Sopranos” and “Survivor: Fiji.”
