...admit I was suckered. At first I thought the "X" oversight was just a coincidence. Nobody could be so careless with this multimillion-dollar secret, least of all CBS, a network so paranoid about security it required reporters visiting Pulau Tiga to sign a scary nondisclosure agreement, which TIME and others refused to do. Why tell the web guys months ahead of time, for God's sake...
...result of all this jiggery-pokery? It's not quite indistinguishable from reality--as with the dinosaurs and toys, there's a little too much artful puppetry in the actors' facial movements. And as the animators admit, CG lighting is still too harsh, too unnatural to reflect properly in eyes and on skin. But these are nitpicks. Fantasy isn't that far off the real thing. It's close enough to make you believe that in a couple more decades, our screens will be stuffed with synthetic thespians...
That only makes it harder to admit that most of what I'm watching is pretty dull stuff. Like Curtis, the straitlaced Asian-American attorney, scrubbing the toilet bowl. Or Jamie, the squeaky-clean beauty queen, grating cheese for nachos. Or those endless dissertations on the virtues of Dryel, the horrors of amoeba-induced diarrhea, the burning shame of bunions...
...admit it. I'm obsessed with the lives of 10 publicity-starved strangers. But I just can't pull myself away. When Will, the charismatic troublemaker and former member of the New Black Panther Party, got the boot last Thursday, I promised myself that this would be the end. But 15 minutes later, I logged on one last time to see how the gang was faring. Next thing I knew, it was 5 a.m., and I was still glued to the screen. Clearly, I have a problem...
...ever had. I get to hang out all day with kids who are about my age, many of whom are pretty decent people. In between the stupid math I get paid to do, we eat lunch, joke around, talk about college and life in general. While I admit this might not really be educational per se, it's also undeniable that the time they spend with me is time that they're not smoking crack or watching Pokmon re-runs. I feel like I'm being a good role model...or something like that...
