Comment on Hotter with a Beard: Jarvis Cocker Edition by Josh

Imagine if the Jarv underwent surgery ala Bryan Ferry. The results would be hilarious. He didn’t even make an effort to look glam or even look hygienic. The guy celebrated his fugliness back in the 90s, now he’s making dirty-old-man/perverted professor a sexy thing.

Please expound. What are your specifications for a review and/or critical essay? Or are you just mad because you disagree with me?

Definitely isn’t a critical essay… Barely classifies as a review.
Nice try though.

Speaking for myself, I would have been sadder if any of the other ones had died. But I think Davy was probably the most popular one, since he was “the cute one”. You’re probably right about society as a whole viewing them that way. For me, it was the music. And, for the record, I think Peter and Mike are the cutest. :)

I’ve been thinking about all the outpouring of good will and emotion over Davy Jones’s death. Considering the context – that his “relevant” career (as opposed to merely being a fixture on the nostalgia circuit) lasted only about 4 years in the late ’60s, and that he only sang one of The Monkees’ hits – it’s really quite surprising. I can’t help thinking that if Micky Dolenz died yesterday, even though he sang 90% of the band’s songs, there wouldn’t be nearly as much appreciation for his legacy, or this sense that “The Monkees are dead”. Maybe it comes down to Davy having had that extra amount of natural charm, sweetness and likability over the other Monkees – particularly Micky. In any event, it does suggest that our relationship to the band is a peculiarly visual one. That we know them and remember them not as musicians but as TV stars.

Comment on Actors are Jerks by Rob

I don’t think it’s fair to say, “ALL” actors are jerks! I’ve worked with some that are incredibly humble, down to earth, gracious, but I also recently worked with an actor on a website who was a complete jerk!

I’m sure there’s some jerky actors out there that are conceded and full of themselves. I wonder how they grew up to be that way? Did their parents tell them that bad attitudes will get them far in life!?

You’ll be surprised when you work with an actor who you’ve seen in film and admired, and then you work with them and their true character comes out! It’s nasty, and this actor I recently worked with falls into the “nasty” category.
