Help Us All

Steven Spielburg must be stopped in our lifetime. Before he kills another good premise. Speilburg and Lucas both used to have the magic needed to create something amazing, but I think that as their fame grew, the people around them started to tell them what they wanted to hear as opposed to what they NEEDED to hear. The end result is the newest Indiana Jones, the last three Star Wars films, and shows like this. I know that Toni Colette is an amazing actress, but she was nothing but unconvincing this time around. Granted, she took on an enormous challenge, playing 3 completely different roles in the pilot alone, but I think we were all expecting a lot more from her. On a brighter note, the few shades of Diablo Cody's brilliant dialogue were good for a laugh. This is the first TV show that qualifies as "a rental"
