    Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
    BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
    Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
    orange_bicycle I love this show. It is so rare to see leading women who are funny, genius, ball busting and gorgeous. Courtney Cox and this amazing ensemble cast have created one of the smartest satires of contemporary Hollywood and Journalism/Media culture. Cox, who has probably experienced the worst sides of tabloid journalism, still plays her role with such intelligence. All while you think Lucy is Satan herself...it is still impossible to hate or revile her. Truth is her God. And who can fault that level of honesty-her most consistent trait? Only those that are true pariahs. Lucy Spiller best line ever, "I'll sleep when they put a stake in me." This show got panned by the critics-I think they weren't patient enough and maybe had trouble seeing Cox play someone so diabolical. I'm glad to see it has a high IMDb rating. It runs a long the vein of Jay Mohr in "Action". Which is also a favorite. Courtney and casting directors if you ever read this crap, please do something like this again. I could never watch that steaming pile called "Friends". But take your chops to the big screen. Lucy Spiller (Cox) should not be wasted on TV sensibilities.
    postmanwhoalwaysringstwice F/X's new show looked promising enough:(1) There's Courteney Cox playing against type. (2) A scathing review of the entertainment industry. (3) Enticing sexual situations. (4) Violence! (5) Scandal!Unfortunately, "Dirt" feels far more like the "E! True Hollywood Story" it might have been attempting to mock. Cox, the sweetheart most know solely from "Friends", plays a character that runs two successful magazines. There's one with the tabloid edge and one that holds some journalistic integrity. She's a powerful, bitchy, easily angered character with only one "true" friend who happens to be a functional schizophrenic. That particular character definitely makes up for much of what lacks about "Dirt". His mind blurs for him the line between reality and fantasy, as does the entertainment industry, which seems to be what the show is going for. It just misses its mark by giving us too many uninteresting characters, obviously based on present-day celebrities, swirling around in a show that seems as fake as they are. Sure, "Dirt" has a sharp tongue and an edgy wit. Sure, underneath all of that glossy, coolness aesthetic an interesting show awaits us, but very little of what's come from the first few episodes propels this viewer forward.
    jpooch00 Sorry, but this show really is terrible. I'm thinking that the producers believed that putting a beautiful woman in a red dress and giving her the lead would be enough - it ain't even close, folks! Apparently, the writers don't understand the concept of originality. That or they're simply incapable of writing in something other than catch phrases & buzz words.I suspected something when I started seeing ads about 2 1/2 months before the premier. I've noticed that this usually means they're trying to precondition people to accept a worthless program as something relevant - or even interesting. It didn't work guys.Hint: produce something that is actually worth watching & you don't have to keep harping about how good it is, the viewers will actually come to that conclusion on their own (a strange concept to some - but true)!
    jreinhardt-1 I liked the idea of this show but it's not showing me much out of Courtney. She's a bit dry on her acting. I want to see more emotion. My whole family watched the first 2 episodes & we all thought the same thing..... boring. I'd like to see more turmoil from Courtney's relationships - she's got a boss who'd like to see her fired but yet she's too emotionally detached from it. Some of the things he says would set off anyone even a man. Plus I would think she'd be a bit more ruthless in her dealings. She's a woman who's in a business that is very cut throat. The scene with Lucy showing the famous actress' husband a video of her making it with a co-star was boring. Although her husbands reaction was good. The photographer friend is the best part of this series - he's brilliant. I hope he sticks around through the whole series. I'm hoping there will be fireworks when the cheating sleazy athlete gets face to face with Lucy. On this whole I think this series has promise. I'll watch it for the photographer but not because of Courtney's character.
