Good Morning!
Do I have to drive up to DC this afternoon? HUH? Do I have-ta?
DR Matt H - I had heard the same thing about tonight's "American Idol" twist. And, actually, it makes sense. The public will again finalize the final three or two, then the top vote getter will be announced. Then each judge will announce their favorite - and from some of the "set-ups" last night, it's just sadistic enough a stunt for the producers to pull. *I thought last night's eliminations were downright mean - but if there is a chance of redemption, then, who knows? Although, that still means that one person of the four who was eliminated at the top of the show last night will still not get passed on. -But I think you mentioned that Marque would not get passed on anyway, so... We shall see.

But as long as this stunt insures that Leah will not get passed on, that's all that matters with me. I didn't like her before, and I certainly didn't like her last night - and if they wanted to point out someone's wardrobe, they should have remarked about hers - a puffy skirt over jeans? It looked like they pulled them off the Clearance racks at Wal-Mart - from two different years!
DR WEL - A friend of mine manages a multi-plex, and he explained to me that it has to with the fire safety laws - thus the staggered start times. Now if a theatre complex has only one or two screens, then the turnaround time can be quicker, but with all these mega-complexes, they have to consider just how much "traffic" there will be at all times - in the bathrooms, at the ticket counter, at the snack bar, etc. *The downtime between showings also gives the projector a chance to rest. And on the economic and publicity side, it's better to have five, sold out showings of a movie on a single screen, rather than six (or seven) half-full showings.
