Three things strike me about this Jonas Bros. review
Just came across the AP review of the new Jonas Bros. concert movie and noticed three things in particular.
First, the headline: Review: Tweens will swoon for Jonas Bros in 3D - Um, that’s not a review. It’s a statement of fact, for better or worse.
And then there was this ‘graf:
“Unfortunately, most of the 3-D effects are pretty gimmicky: For example, Joe, the middle brother, takes off his sunglasses and hurls them at the camera, and Nick, the youngest, flicks a guitar pick and hits us squarely between the eyes. There’s also a bizarre sequence in which they whip out giant power hoses and suggestively spray the crowd with some sort of indeterminate, fluffy white substance. Perhaps they’re not so innocent after all.”
Uuuummmm … Insert your own joke in the comments below.
Finally, reviewer Christy Lemire’s capper:
“But mostly, the movie upholds the adage that if it’s too loud, you’re too old. Then again, if you’re bothering to read this, you’re probably too old anyway.”
Amen, sister.

And WHAT is with these “purity” rings?? Mkay, my philosophy on this is if you have to go too far out of the way to gimmick up your so-called purity, you’re probably the biggest druggie and/or tramp in town (I hope that line didn’t you too much trouble with your smut-filter…lol). Freud called this phenomenon “reaction formation.”By SRCputt

I’m still trying to figure out how these mediocre talents were nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy over Sara Bareilles and Leona Lewis (just to name to other options). And their “interview” Sunday may have been the single worst Barbra Walters has ever done.
