...first five seasons of The X Files were shot in British Columbia, which was a good fit for a show that wanted to leave its fans with a chill. In its pensiveness and good manners, its immersion in desolate wastes, its search for eccentricity, even dementia, behind the blandest Anglo face, the show was devoutly Canadian. For the movie, which is set mostly in West Virginia, Carter took the crew back to Vancouver for one of its snowiest episodes ever...
...single, “Shawty Is Da Sh*!,” rehashes the staccato piano work of R. Kelly’s “I’m A Flirt” and Fabolous’ soporific verse cements his status as one of today’s blandest guest MCs. Dream’s vocal work itself is heavily indebted. He sneers “Yessir” like Pharrell and yelps his “Ohs” just like Akon. His intervals recall R. Kelly, who he even invokes on “I Luv Your...

On a real test, the raw 1 to 6 score will be combined with the raw score from the multiple-choice grammar segment and translated into an overall writing score on the traditional...
...meant to elevate a plain stage name (she was born Norma Deloris Egstrom), the effort was redundant; for Lee, vocally and visually, was class and sass in one platinum package. Statue-still onstage, whispering her lyrics like postcoital pillow talk, Lee gave a guilty-secret glow to the blandest ballads. By the mid-'40s she was a pop star and a rare singer-songwriter (It's a Good Day, Manana); in 1955 she composed songs for Disney's Lady and the Tramp and 36 years later won a suit for royalties on video sales of the film.
