Such a frustrating disappointment

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Fleur
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

At first this was kind of hit.I liked (Pat O'Brien). The news. The guests. It was a thrilling magazine indeed. I hated making a fuss about something, to discover later that it was totally nothing. But this is journalism anyway! After that OH MY GOD!!! It's about (Donny Osmond). What (Donny Osmond) did today? What (Donny Osmond) didn't do today? How many times did he go the bathroom today ? And what about his sister (Marie Osmond)? Did she call him today? Did she not ? Actually why they didn't call it (Donny Osmond's Own Daily News Show) or (Donny Osmond's TV blog !). They even at one point hired him as a host (Grrrrr !). Meanwhile nobody ever told me what happened to (Pat O'Brien) who disappeared suddenly and vaguely!After that (yes.. there is more) just DAMN! They put a table. Brought (Star Jones). Some people I don't know (and I don't want to know either!). To do nothing but yak, yak, yak and yak !They tried to bring the best of the old Insider and The View, to end up as the worst of any time I spend in front of the TV!It became impossible to stand arguing oaf matters. They talk loudly, and so ardently, about everything that I don't care about (and any sane human mustn't !). The whole thing turned into a talebearing sessions where crap is being discussed so seriously. Sometimes I feel so pity for them. And sometimes I just yell "Shut Up" !Take it from me : CHANGE THE CHANNEL. Otherwise, you'll be a fool yourself!

The Insider and ET have got to be two of the most irritating shows on television! The majority of the program they spend showing you preview teasers OVER AN OVER and OVER of what they are going to air. They spend more time previewing what's coming on than actually showing it! When you finally get to see what all the hype was about, it's shorter than the preview! I wish I could find out where to complain about these two shows, but they have no email addresses that I can find. I can't stand the female announcer's voice at the beginning of the show either. She needs to be reporting for the National Enquirer! Why they find it necessary to constantly repeat these teasers is beyond me. Is it for lack of good material? I would venture to guess that out of a whole 30 minute show, allowing for commercials, you are getting about 10 minutes of actual reporting. The rest is all teaser. I want to throw a shoe through the TV screen! Somebody PLEEZE get these shows to STOP the ridiculous teasers! ENOUGH ALREADY!

Is your life so empty that you find it fulfilling to live it through the lives of celebrities? Are you so shallow that you consider a celebrity text message a "news story"? Do you enjoy staring at deformed people to make yourself feel better? If so, then the Insider just might be for you! This is quite simply one of the dumbest shows ever. It makes other gossip TV shows look informative. Everybody involved with this show should feel ashamed of themselves. (And no, I don't watch the show. I've seen it one or twice but am mostly familiar with it just by flipping channels.) Oh, and don't fall for their "story's coming up in two minutes" line: they'll drag you along for half the show before they disappoint you.

I really hate this type of show. I blame them for creating a population of morons who equate big budgets, box office numbers, and Nielsen ratings with actual quality. Of all of them (ET, MTV "News", EXTRA, and their ilk), THE INSIDER has to be the worst. Their so-called exclusive interviews are hardly exclusive (ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT runs in the same time slot here and if I flip channels, I almost always see the exact same story). They milk stories to death (I swear they've run the same Richard Pryor interview every week since the series began). In what was already a show filled with puff pieces, insipid happy talk, and maudlin insincere sentiment, they bring in... KATHIE LEE GIFFORD! Just when I thought we were finally rid of that talentless phony, she's back on TV everyday. Pure torture. If you value your brain cells, don't watch this.
