"Starbright Pt. 3: Rising Star"
Jan. 12th, 2010 11:51 amIt's a new year, and I promise to bring you "Jem" snark EVERY FREAKIN' WEEK! This is THE year of Living Outrageously!! And if I keep it up, I should have the majority of the show done over the course of 2010!!! Life is great!
Previously on "Jem":
--Jerrica sold her soul to Eric Raymond so she (as Jem) could stay in the stinkin' movie (even though the Misfits have taken over) because Ba'Nee really needs that eye surgery
--The Misfits made Jem's (and the other Holograms') life hell on the movie set
--Rio got annoyed that Jem decided to do the movie after all and voiced his opinion to Jerrica, who promptly put him in his place
--Jem nearly suffered a life-threatening stunt-related accident on the movie set because Eric is a cheap bastard; Rio saved her life regardless and went back to macking on her
--Video caught footage of the accident and will submit the tape to the film union if any more mishaps happen. Or Jeff Wright will. Either one of them. They both seemed pretty angry that it even happened in the first place. Jem was willing to write it off just to stay in the film. And Rio got on her ass about that.
--Kimber kept pining for closet-case Nick Mann; Nick Mann kept up the act that he's got the hots for Jem but kept pining for Jeff Wright instead.
--Clash and Roxy caused a motorcycle explosion stunt to go off at the wrong time, putting Kimber in harm's way
--Oh, and Jerrica still hasn't told Rio that she's really Jem
CUE THE THEME SONG!!!

SORRY, I know my snarks are usually better. But I'm kind of pressed for time! I gotta get ready for work! Byeeeee!

YES! I'm not putting this off any longer, dammit!! (Especially when I read that The Dairi Burger was considering doing "Jem" recaps as well: I love the Dairi Burger to bits, but just please let me do the "Jem" recaps!!)
See? Even Jem herself is thrilled that I'm back to recapping her show.
So on the last episode...
--Jem and the Holograms start filming their movie.
--The Misfits were jealous haters.
--Jerrica/Jem was PMSing hardcore, which explained a lot of her attitude throughout this episode.
--Pizzazz got her dad to buy out the movie studio, so the Misfits can horn in on the movie.
--Eric Raymond managed to blow the right people to stay out of federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison, and Harvey Gabor (Pizzazz's dad) put him in charge of the movie.
--Behind the scenes, the Misfits did all that they could to make Jem and the Holograms miserable, like talking smack about Jem behind her back to the hair and makeup artists.
--Kimber got jealous of Jem (again).
--Rio got pissy because Nick Mann was macking on Jem.
--Clash showed up and banged her cymbal bracelets and was annoying.
--Anthony Julian and Eric Raymond got into it, Eric fired Anthony, and Eric made himself the new director.
--Pizzazz macked on Rio and pissed Jem off.
--Eric bossed everyone around, didn't really do much directing.
--The Misfits took over the movie's press conference.
--Jem HAD. IT. UP. TO. HERE. with the Misfits' shenanegans, got into it with Pizzazz, told the Misfits and Eric off, and quit the movie. The Misfits rejoyced.
--Jerrica got the bad news that Ba'Nee is going blind.
....Oh, and Jerrica never told Rio that she's really Jem.

I just need to flesh out the details, but I think I can make this work.

There's some person responding to my comments on a few "Jem" episodes on YouTube who is acting like I'm stupid and have never watched the shows before when I notice all sorts of inconsistencies when they try to one-up me.
First of all, I mentioned a dozen foster girls. And you counted twelve? Hon, I dunno if you passed third grade math, but a dozen is twelve.
Second of all, Eric Raymond has pictures of Synergy from the very first (well, fifth) episode that he could probably use to blackmail Jerrica with instead of Jacqui Benton's master tape. Of course, he's never seen Synergy and doesn't really know what the hell Synergy is used for, so what does that matter, really? So don't repeat what I just said like you know what you're talking about better than I do and act like a know-it-all. "I have the first episode..." Well GOOD FOR YOU. So do I. I have all the episodes that are available on DVD too, plus taped ones from Boomerang that aren't on DVD. And as a matter of fact, I'm been re-watching them so I can snark on them, so I'm pretty familiar with the material. (Speaking of which, I will be getting around to snarking on the second episode of the "Starbright" three-parter soon; I've been preoccupied with other things the last couple of weeks, plus getting more into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bsc_snark.)
Third of all...since you claim you've seen ALL the episodes...I'm sure you know that by the last episode, Jem makes it clear that she doesn't have any money and that everything she earns from her performances and album sales and charity gigs and movies goes towards the Starlight Foundation to help take care of the Starlight Girls. I JUST pointed that out in my comment.
I don't know if you just stumbled onto the show on YouTube and are new to the show and trying to be a megafan and one-up the fans who have BEEN fans since 1985, but please do me a favor and go back and re-watch the show and pay attention before you send me any more comments. THEN you can get in a conversation with me about Jem, because I know what I'm talking about.
Seriously, if I have a major pet peeve, it's when people flat out don't pay attention when you tell them something, and then I have to repeat myself. Which is why I get so irritated at work and with Mom.

Last time on "Jem," Malone the private eye broke into the drive-in where Jerrica and the rest of the girls were hiding Synergy. He started smashing Synergy with a chair, and Synergy alerted Jerrica. When they got back to the drive-in, the girls saw Synergy in pieces, but it was just a hologram. Nevertheless, the girls--after finding out that the detective was sent by Eric--decided to load Synergy up and take the whole console back to the Mansion. Malone showed his pictures to Eric of Synergy, and deduced that Jerrica and Jem MUST be the same person, and Eric was all, "That's crap, but I want that....thing." The Misfits got desperate to screw things up for Jem and the Holograms, but then Ashley dropped by and decided that the Misfits weren't very good friends and gave them the $30 back. Eric realized who she was, and decided to kidnap her and use her as blackmail. He called Jerrica hours before the Battle of the Bands and told her to collect Ashley within a half hour--ALONE--or else. This meant they'd miss the BOTB, but they decided Ashley's safety was more important than winning. The Misfits didn't want to "babysit" Ashley (whom they stuffed in a trunk) while Eric went to meet up with Jerrica, and there was a squabble between Pizzazz/Roxy and Stormer over it. Stormer decided to sell out and join her comrades instead of helping Ashley. Pizzazz tried hitting on Rio again, but when he rejected her and was all, "Jem's waaaay better," Pizzazz was all, "Nyah, whatever, dick." Jem (and the Holograms) showed up at the drive-in to negotiate with Eric, but he had his thugs make sure they were "tied up" and couldn't make it to the BOTB. Didn't matter--Jem found a way to escape. Back at the arena, Eric and Rio nearly got into a scuffle, but then Rio found out Ashley had been kidnapped and was locked in a trunk. He saved her, then they went to the drive-in (with the cops) to rescue Jem and the Holograms. The cops arrested Eric's hired thugs, and they got Jem and the Holograms back to the arena in time to perform....and WIN. They got to keep the Starlight Mansion, they are now contractually obligated to do a movie with Howard Sands' production company, and best of all, Eric Raymond was fired from Starlight Music. The Misfits got mega-pissed, and Pizzazz vowed revenge on Jem. At the end, Jerrica and Rio went to Starlight Music to take back what was rightfully Jerrica's, but not before dealing with Eric, who had to blow the right people to stay out of jail. He took whatever he could get his mitts on before he left, and--being the bastard that he is--slapped Jerrica across the face. Rio, in turn, punched him in the face HARD. Jerrica vows to make Starlight Music into something her dad would be proud of, she and Rio kiss, and we end with Jem and the Holograms singing on the top of Starlight Music.
Oh, and Jerrica never told Rio that she's really Jem.
CUE THE THEME SONG!
This episode is part of another mini-series, the "Starbright" arc. It's called "Falling Star," but I like to call it "Jem Is PMS-ing Hardcore." ( Read more... )

SHE WANTS OUT OF THIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY?! OH BOO HOO. ( Read more... )
( Read more... )
"I'm finished with you, I've had it with them, I QUIT." ( Read more... )
TO BE CONTINUED.....(not again!)
And to close this snark out...since they were seeking Jem and Jerrica earlier this episode....Oh baby baby, have you seen Jem or Jerrica tonight? Is either one of them in the bathroom? Are they smokin' up outside, oh?
And on a sad note, Linda Dangcil, the woman who played Raya in the later episodes of "Jem" passed away on May 7th. This snark was dedicated to her, even though I haven't even gotten around to snarking on episodes with Carmen "Raya" Alonso in them yet.

Oh yeah, I'm on a roll now!!
Last time on "Jem," Rio saved Jem from what could've been a horrendous electrical equipment mishap. They almost got it on, but the Holograms barged in just in time. Back at the makeshift home at the "Starlight Mansion," Mrs. Bailey and Jerrica got concerned about Ashley turning into a pseudo-hoodlum, but don't do too much about it. Ashley bit the hand that feeds her and started wearing Misfits t-shirts anyway. Jerrica signed a deal for J&tH to perform in Las Vegas with the Misfits as their opening act. The whole band annoyed by this set-up, as are the Misfits. The Misfits concocted a plot so Jem and the Holograms wouldn't be the headlining act, and conned Ashley into going to Vegas with them. In Vegas, Jem got mopey about the whole situation with Rio and hem-hawed some more about telling him that she's really his girlfriend in disguise. Later on, Aja spotted Ashley in Vegas, was all, "WTF?!" and chased her outside where the Misfits managed to get her trapped in a tour bus luggage compartment. With one band member out of the way, the Misfits thought they had ruined things for J&tH, but Aja managed to get out of the luggage compartment and back to the casino in time to perform. The Misfits had a fit and walked out of being the opening act. Later on, Eric's hired thugs robbed the casino of the show's profits. The Misfits (as instructed by Eric) pointed the finger at Jem, and she was dragged into custody. Pizzazz also pointed a finger at Rio because she put the moves on him and he was all, "Uck!" Ashley and Stormer (draped in purple curtains)--who witnessed the REAL thieves--later talked to the detectives and convinced them to let Jem free. Later on, the Misfits ruined a fashion show that J&tH appeared in. Eric hired a private detective to do some snooping around about Jem's real identity. The private dick followed J&tH to the drive-in where Synergy's been stored. He managed to get in through the holographic wall that's been set up to conceal where Synergy is. Alerts were going off, the detective took some pics of Synergy with his crappy Goldstar camera, and started smashing the super-duper advanced computer system to pieces.
Oh, and Jerrica never told Rio that she's really Jem.
Which is where we left off. Cue the theme song! "Jem is truly outrageous! Truly truly truly outrageous!"
( The word of the day is 'intruder!' )
"If you ask me, Jerrica Benton and this Jem-dame are the same person."
OMG NO WAY! You think?! Do bears shit in the woods? Is the sky blue? Is David Ogden Stiers gay?

So the excuse whenever we see ANYTHING out of the ordinary on "Jem": "It's just a hologram.": Keep telling yourself that. ( Read more... )

Getting home from the funeral trip, I just now realized how bad I've been at updating the "Jem" snark. And I wanted to do episode four with screencaps, but I can't find any good ones online, and I don't know how to make my own. (If anyone has a link or tutorial on how to do so, please feel free to let me know.) The next best thing I can do is use YouTube, I suppose.

Yep. My mind's in the gutter. *chuckles to self*
*tangent* Which reminds me, I've really, really gotta get back in the swing of things with "Starbright Continued" and "Only Me and the Music." (And at "Cosmic Moon" as well.) At Starbright, Elle is waiting for a response from either Pizzazz or Poppy, which means I'm waiting for Carmen to respond to either of those posts. And I feel like I'm getting NOWHERE with Rio/"Ace." Poor guy is still in a wheelchair and can't do much of anything. I keep getting told to have him interact with Craig Phillips, but no one's playing Craig right now, so what the hell?! It's like nobody wants to play with me, and that makes me a sad and lonely Holly.
*pouts* Won't somebody play with me?

Since Rhino didn't do a very good job at it (and never finished up the series), let's get some chatter going about it with Shout Factory!
DJ AM seeks damages for plane crash
Mar. 17th, 2009 11:07 amLOS ANGELES (AP) — DJ AM is seeking $20 million in damages related to a plane crash in South Carolina last year that killed four others.
The celebrity disc jockey, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, is suing the plane's manufacturer, Learjet, and several other companies.
Goldstein is seeking $10 million for medical expenses, lost earnings, profits and economic damages and another $10 million related to non-economic losses, such as mental and physical pain, according to a document filed Friday.
A jury will decide any damage award if the case goes to trial.
Several of the companies sued last year by Goldstein and fellow crash survivor Travis Barker are seeking a trial delay until after a government investigation of the Sept. 19 crash is complete.
A lawyer for Learjet did not immediately return a phone message on Monday afternoon.

and now, the randomness of it all!
Mar. 11th, 2009 05:44 pmMonday night, Kevin and I went to see Watchmen. Considering I haven't read the graphic novel, I felt this was a good movie. It was entertaining, and it told a good story. The ending was a little lame, though, but that didn't really bother me.
But if you want me to be a smartass about it....it's about a bunch of retired vigilantes/superheroes who are depressed and questioning their lot in life while on the cusp of WWIII in 1985. Hell, Dr. Manhattan just kept going on about "I pretend to care" and "I don't care anymore" and I kept thinking, "He's really given up on life if he can't be bothered to PUT ON SOME FREAKING PANTS!"
( Dr. Manhattan in all his naked glory behind the cut; NSFW )
Too much blue peen for me to handle! I quote Christian Bale: "It's fucking distracting!"
*tangent* And now, an update on the Grandma Cozie situation, since I didn't blog about it sooner. The reason she was severely dehydrated? NOT a cancer flare-up, but a massive kidneystone infection! Why? Because like I said, she drinks nothing but Coca-Cola. According to Dad, the doctors said it was the worst/biggest case they had ever seen. But I guess she's doing okay now (despite the cancer, of course).
*tangent* Work today....UGH. They had opening in the service center today from 7 AM-3 PM. ( Read more... )
Just....ugh, yeah, One of those kind of days.
*tangent* You know it's true love when he says for Halloween, he'll willing to do the purple hair thing and dress up as the Rio to your Jem. And you didn't even really ASK him in the first place. :D :D (Oh Kevin...)
But if you want me to be a smartass about it....it's about a bunch of retired vigilantes/superheroes who are depressed and questioning their lot in life while on the cusp of WWIII in 1985. Hell, Dr. Manhattan just kept going on about "I pretend to care" and "I don't care anymore" and I kept thinking, "He's really given up on life if he can't be bothered to PUT ON SOME FREAKING PANTS!"
( Dr. Manhattan in all his naked glory behind the cut; NSFW )
Too much blue peen for me to handle! I quote Christian Bale: "It's fucking distracting!"

So I just got done watching "The Stingers Hit Town" parts 1 and 2 on YouTube. And all I can say is I can't wait until I start getting to the "Jem" episodes with the Stingers for snarking on, because there will be no holds barred. No episode makes me angrier and prone to throwing things/kicking plants than that two-parter. (Besides "The Day the Music Died." THAT episode pisses me off even more.)
"Am I not perfect?" NO. Go away, plzkthx.
But here's something to at least put me in a better mood: BRITNEY! (Believe it or not.)
The faces she makes in this video.....now THAT'S outrageous!

In the last episode of "Jem," the Starlight Girls were left without a home after the fire; Jerrica had her friends (with her as Jem, of course) stage an impromptu mini-concert to butter up Howard Sands into letting the foster girls use the mansion as a temporary home until the Battle of the Bands; the Misfits had a problem with this and caused trouble; Eric told the Misfits, "Knock that shit off!"; Jem and the Holograms performed again once they all moved in and the Misfits crashed that; a bomb went off at the mansion; some fancy schmancy countess invited Jem and the Holograms (and Rio, too) to her party on a yacht that night and snubbed the Misfits; Jem and the Holograms met Lin-Z Pierce and Anthony Julian; Anthony hit on Shana; Jem tried hitting on Rio and telling him she was really his girlfriend in disguise, but the Misfits ruined that and caused trouble at the party; Pizzazz got it into her head that she could pull a Rory Gilmore and pilot a yacht; and the yacht was heading straight for an oil barge.
Oh, and Jerrica never told Rio that she's really Jem.
Sing along with me! "Jem is truly snark-rageous! Truly, truly, truly snark-rageous!":
( Read more... )
Par-ee!
Err, she meant "Paris."
( Read more... )
*shakes head* Oh Jerrica, even if Jem and the Holograms win this contest, they're going to be in so much debt because of Eric Raymond being a greedy prick. Can't she at least hire a lawyer to see about this?!
( Read more... )
So here are the rules to being a Misfit:
--A Misfit never asks for anything.
--A Misfit takes whatever he/she wants.
--No "please" or "thank you" crap. A "GIMME!" will suffice.
( Read more... )OUTRAGEOUS!!!

STAY TUNED FOR EPISODE 4! (And once again, very special thanks for the screencaps from here.)

a bold statement for me to make
Feb. 24th, 2009 09:27 amI just got done watching "The Day the Music Died." (I'm still working on recapping episode three, believe me.) Jem's flighty actions--running off with Riot--have never sat well with me, and to this day they still don't. I don't care if she was stressed out and under pressure; it was a bad move on her part and completely out of character. Based off of her actions in this episode....if I were either Kimber, Aja, Shana or Raya, I would've quit the band when Jem/Jerrica came home and made her deal with it all on her own. What she did wasn't fair on them at all.
And I'd tell Rio the truth about Jem behind her back, since she keeps putting it off and just flat-out incapable of doing it herself.
*later edited* Never realized it till now, but Minx was the only one outside of the Holograms that even acknowledged that Jerrica was AWOL as well.

Last time on "Jem," Emmett Benton died and left his daughter Jerrica a house that's falling apart and half the family business; Eric Raymond made himself plenty comfortable at Starlight Music; the Misfits came and acted like the fabulous bitches they are, and pissed Jerrica off; Jerrica got a pair of earrings; pair of earrings ended up being remote controls for a hologram machine; Jerrica disguised herself as a fancy-schmancy pink-haired singer named Jem and crashed the Battle of the Bands with her friends and lil' sister; Eric challenged Jerrica to a contest; the Misfits nearly ran Jem and the Holograms off the road; Jerrica saved the day with a hologram, but Rio was the one who pulled the girls to safety; Eric hired a thug to break into Jerrica's foster home; Jerrica cockblocked Rio; there was a FIRE!!!
Was that it? I hope that was it.
Episode Two on the DVD opens with that "me and my girls are Jem-girls" theme that I HAAAATE.
Ah. Much better. I just try to convince myself that they didn't make a new Jem theme.
The show actually opens with a quickie recap of what happened last episode. (I just DID a quickie recap! *le sigh*) Starlight House is still burning, and Jerrica and the gang are quickly trying to get the Starlight Girls out of the house. Great. Just great. Not only did she inherit a house that was pretty much falling apart, now it caught fire and THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING! Could things get any worse for Jerrica now? ( Read more... )
(I should warn you guys. I have a very subversive sense of humor. That, and in these recaps, Rio's generally going to be a typical red-blooded horn-dog male in his early 20s who can't control his raging manhood.)
( Read more... )
Castles! Flying carpets! Rainbows! Unicorns! Sunken treasure! Dancing in the clouds! Shirtless Rio! This is the stuff a six-year-old girl dreams about!
( Read more... )
HEY JERRICA, NOW MIGHT BE A GOOD TIME TO TELL RIO THAT YOU'RE REALLY JEM, HUH?! Ya think?! ( Read more... )
STAY TUNED FOR EPISODE THREE--"KIMBER'S REBELLION"!
And to wrap up this recap....I give you "Rio" by Duran Duran. Because of the yacht party scene.
(BTW, before I close, I must mention that all screencaps for this and for the previous recap are from here. Gotta give credit where credit's due, yo)

Jan. 14th, 2009 12:57 pmThis is the silly stuff I do when I'm bored and it's cold outside.
As you all know, I've been on a major Lady Gaga kick lately. I especially love seeing her with the hood-with-sunglasses look like this:
Or like this:
It didn't dawn on me until today what this look reminded me of, so I had to grab the box out of my closet to scan it. The quality isn't that great, but I think you know what I mean:
Lady Gaga didn't copy Christina Aguilera. She copied Jerrica Benton, circa 1986.
