Not knowing what to post I begin to type while thinking of all the things that I said that I would post about and now have forgotten. I am exhausted from wandering the recesses of my mind for an interesting gem that I could post to make everyone go "Ahhhh!". I delve into my mind trying to remember what I did last night, but that ability has left me long ago with only echoes of TV left in my brain. I know I watched TV last night, but what I watched I don't remember. I pause and look out the window at the church steeple clock wishing that it were time to return to the TV only to have it suck even more memories away from me. And like being zapped on the ear by a friend who has just spent the last half hour rubbing his/her feet on the carpet, I am zapped with an idea, but just as quickly as the feeling was received it was destroyed by the interference of someone needing something at work, but they are too late I have already mentioned my post and will not forget so that I can leave and come back and finish the post.
PAUSE.
I wanted to post about the horrible reality show that is being shown right now in Latvia. Its called Talantu Fabrika 4, some of you might remember me mentioning last season's Muzikala Fabrika. Its basically American idol placed in Latvia and made by the same people that have made all of Latvia's reality TV only something is different. Its Crap! The quality of the video, audio, backgrounds, participants, "experts", is all sub-par on a good day. Lets go down the list shall we.
Video: The camera work and editing looks like its being done by a horny 16 year old boy. Most of the shots consist of boobs and closeups with the female participants, which most of whom are barely 18 themselves. (I only recently realized that the camera operator is the son of the producer and might actually be 16, but that doesn't make it right)
Audio: For a reality show based around people singing, you would think that someone would be paying attention to the audio quality. The whole first week the entire show had the Tin-can effect that when people sound like they are speaking through a metal tube. This past week there were two days in a row when the sound was blown out giving that screaming into a microphone effect that makes the audio impossible to hear and unbareable to listen to.
At this point there is a lot more I could complain about, but I realize that I'm ranting and I will stop so that I can save the few readers I might have left.
