I felt bad about giving “X-Play” such a bad review so I decided to watch it again tonight on the reply after The Screen Savers.
Can I give a show negative stars?
This was the show’s second night, you know, the one where Morgan Webb gets mean and disses Oracle (the wheelchair bound librarian — aka the former Batgirl), who helps out Batman. Oh? Morgan doesn’t know that? Dear god, girl, do your research before you start dissing people. Oracle rocks in more ways than one.
What doesn’t rock? “X-Play.” One thing I noticed was that they try to have a shaky camera and switch between black and white and color with every other shot. Oh, this was cool … for five minutes in 1997 when I saw it as part of a NWO skit on WCW wrestling. That’s right, they’re trying to “be cool” by ripping off bad 1997 pro wrestling. Sad.
What doesn’t rock? Morgan Webb’s review. Yes, review. She had all of one on the show and besides being about as mean as Morgan Webb gets (see above), it sounded like she was calling from a phone booth. I realize she doesn’t have a radio voice, but goodness gracious folks, at least enhance it during her reviews so she doesn’t sound like she’s talking in the next stall over.
What doesn’t rock? Spastic Adam. Yes, that’s right. Adam is finally spazzing out. Is it because Morgan is dressing like Morganna the kissing bandit? God only knows, but these people can do SO much better … but they’re not … and they don’t care that the show sucks.
I revise my review: I give X-Play a negative 5 stars.
I don’t feel bad about calling a spade a spade either.
