Made a near-fatal mistake of watching TRL right after the BM

From memory I was not impressed at all with the TRL, but based on recent praise here included it in my late night boys viewing list...

What a mistake... especially right after a great film! Photographers know you never put an older model next to a younger one... this nearness made the TRL look decidedly awful, stupid even... ah... and soooo very American I can't even express... in the worst sense of the word. Two different world - one of the piercing precision and insight, and the other of cliches and "stars". I generally respect Travolta, but he looked like a clown in that general's uniform.

To me TRL was a study in fear, principles, and desire for freedom. It was a poem of war. I pull it off the shelf about once a year and still squirm at the length of it but I feel "I get it".

Share a bowl of grits with someone you love tonight.

  I too sometimes get confused here with such abbreviations.
  - Actually a pretty good if over long film, you're correct that anymore of John Travolta would have ruined it. - Tony D. 18:48:58 12/09/10 (0)
    Travolta being a one note cardboard cutout who occasionally stumbles into something...okay.

    narration was the first hint of his status.
