For this movie review of “Delta Farce,” The Dude on the Right will simply tell you that this is not a great movie, but if the trailer made you laugh, well, you’ll probably like it. Most reviewers won’t, and he didn’t like it too much, but you know exactly the kind of movie you will get from the trailer. See it at your own risk.

What’s New? A Podcast of: Paris and Jail, The Hoff in Trouble, and May is a Sad Month.
For this podcast The Dude on the Right ponders the trouble of many celebrities in these last couple of weeks, namely Paris Hilton, David Hasselhoff, and Alec Baldwin. He is also in mourning since it is May and most of his TV shows will be wrapping up in the next couple of weeks, namely “American Idol,” “Survivor,” and “The Sopranos,” although he can’t believe he forgot to talk about Julianne Hough and not being able to find her naked.
Paris and Jail, The Hoff in Trouble, and May is a Sad Month.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Since it’s a Thursday podcast I’m flying solo, but all I know is that it’s been
a rough couple of weeks for some celebrities, especially Paris Hilton who might
be going to jail, David Hasselhoff who was drunk and loses visiting his
daughters, and although the Alec Baldwin voice mail has died down, we still
remember him.
But May is a sad month for me because it means most of my
favorite TV shows are coming to an end. "American Idol" only has three
contestants left, "Survivor" wraps up this Sunday, on Mother’s Day, I’ve got a
boatload of "Smallville’s" to catch up on my TiVo, "The Sopranos" are almost
done, and I can’t believe I forget to mention "Dancing With the Stars"
in this podcast with the new love of my life, Julianne Hough, who, as far as
I know, hasn’t gotten naked, although from my website statistics, that’s what a
lot of you are looking for.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Barry Gibb & The Bee Gees on Idol or Julianne Hough on Dancing.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Oh my God. Tonight it’s the music of Barry Gibb and The Bee Gees.
I
guess the American Idol people want to try to throw another monkey-wrench into
the show by picking music only the parents will know and most every kid will
have no idea of the songs. Me, I’ll admit I’ve always liked the Bee Gees,
but damn, maybe American Idol needs to quit doing these "music of…" shows and
just let the singers pick songs from week to week. Maybe we don’t need the
"star" coaching and just need to see some real music coaches, or maybe some
weeks where Simon, Paula, and Randy actually "coach" the contestants, especially
towards the end of the competition.
Anyway, here’s what I thought about
tonight’s singing.
Melinda (1): Sings "Love You Inside and Out."
Nothing to say about her anymore. She knows how to bring it every week,
and although Simon didn’t seem to like it that much, umm, , and pardon my
French, but it’s the fuckin’ Bee Gee’s night – What the hell is she supposed to
do? In the words of my buddy Stu Gotz, ’nuff said.
Blake (1):
Sings "You Should be Dancin’." Barry thinks Blake’s "beat-boxing" is an
ability. Blake just epitomized why sometimes it was great the Chicago
radio dude Steve Dahl held "Disco Demolition" many years ago. What the
hell was that mess?
LeKisha (1): Sings "Stayin’ Alive." Just bad.
Jordin (1): Sings "To Love Somebody." Barry loved her, and I think,
depending on her next song, this might have just bounced her back into the
competition. Did nice version of the song and performed it well.
Melinda (2): Sings "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." She’d rather be
wet than be a loser? She sings well and performs well, but there isn’t
much you can do with this song. She tried to "soul it up," and that added
a different dimension to the song, but we already know that about her.
Blake (2): Sings "This is Where I Came In." Good, Blake, sing a song that
both the kids and the parents don’t know, and screw it up by "beat-boxing" it,
and he did. It sounded like a Boy George throw-back, and not a good one at
that.
LeKisha (2): Sings "Run to Me." Barry does give her good advice,
to kick it up earlier, and she listens. She still sings with a slight lisp
at times, missed a note or two, and is looking better except for the gap in her
teeth which she can’t do anything about until after the show ends, but this song
was a better choice although not great.
Jordin (2): Sings "I Am A Woman
in Love." Barry loved her again, but she needed to "hip" it up just a tad
because why do we want to really hear a Barbara Streisand cover on American Idol
in 2007? Even so, her songs this week might keep her alive for another
week.
As much as I like The Bee Gees and Barry Gibb, I still question having
this be a theme for the week. All they are doing now is torturing the
contestants into trying to find songs they don’t know, and don’t know how to
sing, although I did get a laugh when even Barry Gibb made fun of his singing.
I’ve got to wrap up this blog about the American Idol singing because, and I
hate to say this, I don’t really care about the contestants anymore. I’ve
got to switch TV channels to see who gets booted off of "Dancing With the
Stars." All I know is it better not be Apolo Anton Ohno dancing with the
new love of my life, Julianne Hough. She’s hot.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up Podcast: Second Life, Spider-Man 3, Yay for a Midas, and Marketing to Kids.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!” The Dude on the Right is starting to question the coolness of Stu Gotz with Stu’s listening to public radio and watching the BBC. But other things are more important like The Dude trying to get a Second Life, The Dude not getting screwed over when the brakes on the dude-mobile started squeaking, and seeing “Spider-Man 3.” Stu, in the meantime, had to fight the Spidey marketing because he isn’t so sure his little guy could handle seeing the movie, and Stu also brings up if Kirsten Dunst is hot or not. They also have their normal conversation about TV, this time mostly about “The Sopranos” and “Survivor: Fiji.”
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Second Life, Spider-Man 3, Yay for a Midas, and Marketing to Kids.
By:
The Dude on the Right
You would think that after all of our weekend wrap-ups Stu and I wouldn’t have
so much trouble not talking over the intro music. Not so: We are
lately having issues getting our timing down, but since Stu was whistling, and I
couldn’t, it’s another episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!"
Stu’s
weekend was spent mostly counter-marketing the movie folks convincing his son
that Spider-Man was great, and that to get great Spidey things they needed to
visit the Burger King, which sadly for Stu, both of the King’s store near him
don’t seem to be the cleanliest of locations. Me, on the other hand, spent
my weekend trying to get a
Second
Life even though I’m not so sure about my first life, not getting screwed
over when I went to get my brakes checked (thanks to the Midas at the Fox Valley
Mall in Aurora, IL.), and actually seeing
"Spider-Man 3," which prompted Stu to question the hot-ness of Kirsten Dunst.
Want to know if I find Kirsten hot or not, what both Stu and I think might be
Tony Soprano’s fate, and if Yau Man can make it to the end of "Survivor: Fiji?"
Then
download and listen to this podcast episode!

What’s New? A Movie Review of “Spider-Man 3”
For this movie review of “Spider-Man 3” The Dude on the Right thought Kirsten Dunst’s second song shouldn’t have been in the film, loved the villains of Venom and Sandman, but still liked Doc Ock from Spidey #2 better so he can’t give the film 5 stars. He still loved the movie and if The Dude tried to act cool, he’d probably look exactly like Peter Parker when he was trying to act cool, only bouncers could beat The Dude’s ass.
Who Knew Bon Jovi Songs Were So Complicated to Sing?
By:
The Dude on the Right
Bon Jovi is in the house, Dog!
I’ve always been a Bon Jovi fan, and as many a
time I’ve attempted to sing his songs, well, my voice can’t seem to do the stuff
his voice does, and after watching tonight’s "American Idol," neither can most
of our contestants. I will give Jon Bon Jovi his credit, trying his best
to coach our would-be singers and some of them really took his advice, while
some of them, whether they would take his advice or not, still couldn’t pull off
singing Bon Jovi songs.
Anyway, all of the Idol singers were safe last week
because American Idol became lame by not voting anyone off because it was their
big "philanthropy" week, so Wednesday boots off two people. For what it’s
worth the American Idol folks should just go ahead and kick off five people and
leave us with Melinda for the rest of the season. She seems to be the only
one who really seem to know how to work it.
Here’s my take on this week’s
singing…
Phil: Sings "Blaze of Glory." Sang the song okay, but just
looks to be "acting" the song too much, with the gritty, pissed-off face and
all. Overly emotional and still has a horrible look with the bald look.
Jordin: Sings "Livin’ on a Prayer." Looks like she wanted to pay tribute
to Gina with the red streaks in her hair. Song wise it was okay, but she’s
not working the stage like a rocker needs to. Her mom might have had her
listening to Bon Jovi, but she sure didn’t translate the performance aspect into
her act. She picked the wrong song.
LeKisha: Sings "This Ain’t a
Love Song." A good song choice for her, but she just seemed to be off the beat
for the beginning. Her outfit was bad, and she didn’t sing with nearly the
passion Jon Bon Jovi did for the Bon Jovi version until the very end of the
song. It must have sounded a hell of a lot better live because the judges
loved it, but for me it, well, it wasn’t that good.
Blake: Sings "You
Give Love a Bad Name." I know he’s trying to be original and all, but what, are
we back in the era of bad break dancing? He couldn’t sing the song, his
antics blew, and maybe I’m just too old, or too big a Bon Jovi fan, but I did
not like this at all. Randy thought it was hot, but what, for the ’80’s?
Chris: Sings "Wanted Dead or Alive." Of everyone, Chris seemed, so far,
to get the "Bon Jovi" theme. His singing wasn’t the greatest, my only
complaint is he didn’t work the crowd as much as he probably should have.
Melinda: Sings "Have a Nice Day." Jon told her exactly what to do with the
song, and Melinda did it perfectly. She pretty much wrapped up this
competition with being able to take Bon Jovi’s rocking into a soul attitude.
She was fantastic.
For me you might as well kick out everyone but Melinda.
It looks like she’s lost some weight, she still sings great, and she seems to
get the attitude of every genre. As far as the "American Idol," the show,
I am this close to calling it quits for them, especially with their
self-righteous "We’re now a charity" thing last week, and now trotting out a
pre-recorded speech from President Bush and Laura Bush about how great it was
they raised so much money to help starving people.
Enough already.
"American Idol," you are a god damn singing competition, making a shitload of
money. Quit with the politics and do-gooding, and just give us a singer we
can like.
I’ll step off my soap-box now, and say Melinda should be the winner.
And I’ll also say that Ryan Seacrest you are no Don Johnson – Shave the
"7-day" facial hair.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
What’s New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lame Movies, A Lame Weekend, and a Blower at a Ballgame.
For this podcast of “Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up!”, The Dude on the Right had a pretty boring weekend while Stu Gotz, and Mama Gotz, witnessed a blower at a ballgame. Stu and The Dude also talk about the lame box office this past weekend with “Spider-Man 3” coming up next week, and they both liked “Idiocracy” that Stu watched thanks to Netflix.
They also talk “Sopranos,” “Heroes,” and The Dude gives his take on what went wrong with this season’s “American Idol.”
Stu & The Dude’s Weekend Wrap-Up! Lame Movies, A Lame Weekend, and a Blower at a Ballgame.
By:
The Dude on the Right
Weekends are normally a time of excitement, a time of getting things done around
the house, of enjoying loved ones because you don’t have the daily grind of the
weekday. Thank God Stu had an exciting story to tell because otherwise
this might have been the most boring episode of "Stu & The Dude’s Weekend
Wrap-Up!" ever. My weekend was basically spent working on the
Entertainment Ave! redesign, making good headway in The Movie Theater section
(even though I didn’t see any movies), and enjoying about two hours of the
fantastic weather we had in Chicago. I also had an issue with some meat,
so Stu recommended I visit Beecher Illinois and its meat shop.
Stu, on the
other hand, went to see a ballgame, where he and Mama Gotz witnessed a blower at
a ballgame.
We did talk a bit about the movie "Idiocracy,"
about "The Sopranos," about "Heroes," and Stu saw "Idol Rewind," witnessing the
brilliance that would be Kelly Clarkson while wondering what happened with the
talent on this season’s "American Idol."
Want to know what exactly "a blower
at a ballgame" is. Well,
download and listen to the podcast.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!
