I've just watched Nip/Tuck for the first time. Oh my sweet Jesus. Full frontal cursing? DOGGY STYLE, featuring porn star positions and naked butts, hips and pubic hair, practically? Nothing I haven't seen on any of the movie channels, but...this is cable TV, and I didn't think they were allowed to show the stuff I saw tonight. It seems stupid to be amazed, but Holy Bejeebus! Also, I would have enjoyed the show without all the sexy nakey bits, and I think it's going into my regular rotation. Yowza. Christian is hot. Sadly, I don't find his partner even remotely attractive, so I won't be looking for slash.

Eureka! I love that show. I hope this is the last week we have to deal with Zoe's teenage angst because truly, high school's a long way behind me and I'm just not interested. And is it me, or does she always look dirty? Methinks it's an unfortunate combination of her complexion and the heavily underlined and mascaraed eyes. I love, love, love Sherriff Carter and Allison. Squee! They're so cute. I love that Henry is the go-to guy for just about everything in town. Love that show.

Well, the vacation's over and my clock is set. Time for bed. ::cries:: I wish I could retire, like, NOW. ::cries more::

So I'm trolling for JC bits and I've just come across another one that I haven't seen. This one is from some guy's blog, dated 04/01/2005. From this blog: Max & Mike on the Movies. I was mostly AWOL from LJ then, so you guys have probably already seen this. Putting it here for posterity!

One of these days I'm going to tag all of this stuff.

Oh, Chasez Can You See?

People are always coming up to me on the street and saying, “Hey Max, I know you’re a nationally famous film critic, but what kind of music do you listen to?” (Well, okay, they never actually do that. But wouldn’t it be cool if they did?)

The other day I was listening to what has to be the least cool album in my collection, Schizophrenic by JC Chasez, and I decided it was fine time I told you good people about it.

First, let’s just get this out of the way: Yes, that JC Chasez: The kid from N SYNC who isn’t Justin Timberlake. The moderately pretty boy with the generically smooth voice and the jauntily tilted fedora. An ex-boy band member destined to be road kill on our pop culture super-highway. And no, this is NOT an April Fool’s joke.

But here’s the thing: I bought this Schizophrenic album last winter, based on my enjoyment of its Prince-like single: “All Day Long I Dream About Sex.” I thought the song was weird, groovy, and irresistibly catchy.

I immediately fell in love with the disc. Indeed, it was the first CD I ever listened to in MC Sparky. It perfectly mirrored the mood I was in: Giddy, upbeat, silly, and jonesin’ for the summer time.

Let me make one thing clear: There is no depth to this album. At all. Its basic message is this: “Sex, sex, sex. I love sex.” Which, God love him, at least is honest. But that’s not the point: The point is, Justin Timberlake got all this love and sold all of these albums and became the darling of the record industry and I happen to think Schizophrenic a better CD than Justified.

True to its title, the songs vary wildly: One sounds like ‘80s new wave, one sounds kind of Jason Mraz-like, one sounds like Lenny Kravitz, a whole bunch sound like Prince, another one sounds exactly like Sting . . . I think you get the point.

Is the entire album great? Naaa, there are a few duds. But it’s amazingly consistent most of the way through. Do I think JC Chasez is a musical genius? Hardly. I just think he captured lightning in a bottle (with a lot of help from his producers). I’ll buy his next album out of loyalty but I doubt he can duplicate this album’s addictive grooves.

Anyway, just thought I’d share. If you buy the CD, lemme know what you think.

P.S. Most of my musical taste is not quite so tragically unhip. The new Beck album rulez.

It's always interesting to see JC turn up in the press, especially bizarre, random bits like this one. Who'd have thought he'd end up on a list of ten of the most flamboyantly hair-conscious celebs in the music world?

I'm thinking *really* slow news day. Was this part of a larger piece? I'm confused, but still amused to see my boy mentioned, even if it is a very gentle dig at the goofy not!mullet.

Wild hair days happen often in music world

Sunday, September 03, 2006
By Lorilee Craker
The Grand Rapids Press

From moptops to mullets, lids on the stars can be, shall we say, adventuresome. Here are some reflections on some of the most flamboyant in the music world.

Pink -- OK, girl, decide: This in-between business of the shaved sides and big skunk-like ribbon of droopy hair won't get any party started.

Lyle Lovett -- Maybe the real reason singing for his hit "Don't Touch My Hat" was so people wouldn't take the 10-gallon topper off his rat's nest.

Michael Score -- The Flock of Seagulls vocalist must have had to work long hours to look like he'd gotten stuck in a cotton candy machine.

Cyndi Lauper -- Girls just wanna have fun, and one way in the '80s was to wear their hair a la Cyndi -- off-center and day-glo, with matching eye shadow.

Christina Aguilera -- If this big-voice, big-hair pop diva's locks get any lighter and brighter, her hair will turn blue.

Billy Ray Cyrus -- He sings, "I Want My Mullet Back" -- funny, because he still wore the "business up front, party in the back" style a decade after the look peaked.

George Jones -- Tammy Wynette was all for standing by her man, but that puffy-top, puffy-sides look must have made it hard.

Neil Young -- He has a song called "Let's Impeach the President." Maybe Young should impeach his barber while he's at it.

Cher -- Not that we're expecting her suddenly to sport Granny's helmet 'do, but at 60, she might want to lay off the platinum dye job.


JC Chasez -- Hair cops got busy when they saw his short-and-long lid. One online petition urged him to cut it short for the good of all ex-boy-banders.


Like I said, slooooow news day. :-)

I'm watching the DesignStar (it's like Project Runway for interior designers) marathon (never seen it before!), and the male half of the two semifinalists, David Bromstad, is about as cute as he can be. OMG, and when working on his rooms he has a tendency to remove his shirt, showing off his most awesome, *incredible* body. Yes, that's shallow, but holy hannah! What a doll he is! Even better, he's a kickass designer, and he seems to have a really sweet personality. If he wins he competition, I might finally have a reason to tune in to HGTV. ;-) Dude, Lance needs to ditch his boyfriend and start stalking *this* guy. ::purrrrrrr:: What a cutie!

After the excitement of Thursday and Friday, the last couple of days have been quiet and uneventful. :-( Waaaaah! I need more JuC sightings, stat. I sincerely hope the Joshtin Tour happens. ::crosses fingers::

Edited to add: A good review in the New York Times for Justin's Roseland show. No mention of JC, sadly. :-(
foxmonkey: Robot Snowman with Flowers (Default)
From Justin Timberlake: Out of SYNC, or Timber-Fake?, at FOXNews.com.

SQUEE! I hadn't seen this posted on my friends list yet. Check it out! A mix of good comments and bad for for Justin at Roseland, but check out the blurb for JC:

The other surprise guest of the night was Timberlake’s former NSYNC buddy J.C. Chasez, whose solo number was a generous gesture on the part of Justin.

Chasez’s song was unexpectedly strong, and nearly stole the show from Timberlake for its energy and straight-on vocal power.


JC!!!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


More squee, this time from the newsday.com review of the show, Do we think Justin is sexy?. One line, but it's a good one:

Timberlake seemed most energized when he shared the spotlight. He bounded gamely with Atlanta rapper T.I. through the frisky new song "My Love" and manned the organ while his former 'N Sync bandmate JC Chasez tore through a fiery unnamed breakup song.

Yay! JC!

Waaaaaaaaaaaah! So I'm reading That Old Black Magic and I get to the part where good stuff's going to happen and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! The page hasn't completed loaded! Anyone else have that problem??? Help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Thanks topaz119! :-)

Just putting it out there...if The Joshtin Tour happens and there's a Chicago date, I AM THERE.
foxmonkey: Robot Snowman with Flowers (Default)
Okay. In this post (How come Justin and JC are performing together???) at The Board of Riotous Rage and Infinite Insanity, SuFi Jen states:

In the real JT tour that starts in January, JC is probably gonna open for him.

So...does SuFi Jen have the inside scoop? People seem to be as excited as though they'd heard an official announcement. I've been out of the loop, so if she's a realiable source of reliable information, do tell!

Also, here's pretty sweet video from last night: JC shakes his little rocker!boi booty while Justin plays piano. Ah, wonderful memories of the Chicago show, y'all. :-)

Video cliplet preview of the Joshtin tour!

Also also, the JuC Author's Story Swap went live last night! SQUEE! Damn, this has seriously been the best two days in fandom in a long, long time. I'm so lovin' it. ::off to read:

MAH BOYZ!

I haven't gone too far back in my friends pages yet, but thanks to jc-chasez.net, I was able to enjoy pictures of JC performing with Justin last night at Roseland, and I can't lie, I got all misty and started grinning like crazy. Oh my friggin' GOD! It's insane how much I love these guys. Insane. If I'd been in the audience, I'm sure I'd have cried. They'll *always* own a piece of me. Always.

On a related note, no one wears a pair of pants like JC Chasez. I love, love, love his tailor! His pants always break perfectly over his footwear, and his shoes/boots always look good. I wonder if he's still a...what was it, a 28 waist? He's probably a bit bigger, but not much. The dark hair, those eyes...oh, JC. I love you so.

JC!

Squeeness!

Dudes, have I ever mentioned the fact that Queen Latifah is my sekrit womancrush girlfriend? Eeeeee, she's just gorgeous. ::luuuuurves::

Al Gore! I voted for him! ::cries::

Eeeeee! My winter Olympics boyfriend! Shaun White is still a cutie.

Paris Hilton. My god, stop the posing, you goofball.

Excuse the profanity, but I'd nearly forgotten what a kick-ass dancer La Timberlake is.

Go, boy! Shake dat ass!

Unfortunately, I remain convinced that he should sing in his natural voice, rather than the falsetto.

Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus'in!

Okay, that was too short. :-(

I thought the preshow started at 7:00, so I was a little surprised to tune in to find Fergie cavorting on the red carpet. Go Fergie, with your tiara-wearing, Burberry-clad ass.

I've been a little out of the loop (hahaha!) because my laptop's been having issues. I hope I haven't just jinxed myself; I guess we'll see. Anyway, I'm pleased to see that JC's been making VMA-related appearances, and that he'll be onstage with Justin tomorrow at Roseland! YAY! I'd love to be here to see it. I hope there's footage, even better, footage with audio.

Is it me, or does John Norris look tres bizarre with red hair? Dude, dye that mess. Edited to add: Ouch! The sunglasses and that hair? Way wrong. Please, just stop.

JC!

Unnnnnnnnnnnnnnnh, yes, I'm still alive. Work has been sucking the very LIFE out of my soul - not so much work itself, though that sucks too, seeing how I'm part-time (most of the time) performing the old job that I hated - but it's the other stuff, the political crap, that's driving me crazy. I can't believe how naive I was for the first half of my career. God, I was such a babe in the woods! Then again, I started in a different department. I'll leave it at that.

::grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr::

I missed The 4400 last week, but didn't feel too torn up about it. I tuned into last night's ep with fifteen minutes to go, then realized it was the season finale. Dammit! Had I known that, I'd have tuned in! So I DVR'd that puppy and watched it this afternoon. From the looks of it, season three might have to go on without me. ;-p Oy, oy, and oy. ...and I just lost whatever else I was going to say, dammit.

Yay, vacation later in the week! I'm tacking a few days onto the long weekend, go me! No plans except to watch a few marathons, maybe eat some barbecue, and hang with Dad.

And now I'm going to do a little surfing.

JC!

I just found via my friends list that SG-1 has been cancelled.

::boggles::

NO! I can't friggin' believe it! Dammit! Executive producer Robert C. Cooper is trying to give me hope, but I'm not buying it. Blast it all!

I'm glad I'm getting those Stargate figures. Dammit. First NSync, now this. I am bereft.

G.I.P.!
