Diane Lane

I also watched American Dreamz. It wasn’t that funny. The overt, in-your-face satire has gotten old to me that I can no longer help supposing it irritably corny. The universal ridicule thrown at reality TV shows is, although spot-on, quite a cliché. And the attempt to diversify the resolution isn’t as breathtaking as the creator attempted it. I’m not sure why people insist that Diane Lane is brain-dead. Just because the manner of speaking implies so doesn’t mean Diane Lane is in any other aspect. The superficiality of America as has been depicted therein is even less a matter of hilarity, although of course there may be some reference to the truth involved, but still! Carrie Underwood didn’t win AI because she has a sob story. Maybe the sob story is capable of taking any given contestant farther than she/he deserves; however, so far, nobody has yet won the title, prestigious as it is, on any other account than his/her performance or style or voice quality or talent. Seriously. And of course, the parody of terrorist idea wasn’t so lost on me. The writers seemed to mock the simpleminded people’s common error of supposing the president superfluously more important than he should be. Yeah I know they’re poking fun at the US-singer-assassination-plan-by-the-middle-east cliché, but couldn’t they have made it smarter?
