Drooling in Public
March 24, 2001
I saw the NSync Imax movie today. A few songs in, I realized I was making so many mental notes there was no way I would be able to remember them all by the time I got back in front of my computer. So I scrabbled up a pen and a piece of paper and began scribbling furiously. The results are below. (Don't expect any great clarity or deep insights. My brain was stuck on *GUH* for most of the film.)
The Playlist:
No Strings Attached
Tearing Up My Heart
It's Gonna Be Me
I Thought She Knew
Just Got Paid
Space Cowboy
Digital Getdown
Bye Bye Bye

Dallas girlies luv JC more than Justin. Is Justin too ghetto for them? Hm.
Don't see this film if you want to maintain your detached humor about boybands. Because you will end up in love with NSync by the time you walk out of there, even if you were politely scornful going in.
BASS, baby! Their voices are good. Really good. People who dismiss them as talentless hacks are just prejudging and not listening.

Taking notes in the dark is really hard.

Joey sliding down the ramp during JGP - ahahahahah! And more ahahah to JC's reaction to it.

MSG did not do justice to Space Cowboy.
The Red Erection Pants are even scarier when they're 5 stories tall.

TIPY - Chris' bit isn't as funny as in MSG, but it's still pretty fucking funny.
God - they're getting things lobbed at them by the crowd. Too fucked up. Plot Bunny: what happens when one of them gets all neurotic about an NSync-hater throwing something dangerous, like a rock or a grenade?
Joey is a complete hambone dork. I heart him.
JC! Caught that glowstick! What!? How do you nab a glowstick out of the air as it's being flunged (flinged, flanged, flunged) from the audience? Whoah. Pretty cool, Spaz.

Oh, good lord. Digital Getdown. STICKY KEYS CHASEZ!!! (TM KD)
Joey's silver sex-god toga thingy...that man should be illegal, I'm telling you. Sex on a steeck.
STAGE. HUMPING. guh. drroooooollll.....
(Need this video. WILL own it.)

BBB - but no skipping monks, thank the good lord.

The big discovery of the evening: NSync is best appreciated musically at extremely high volume with lots of bass. And Bass, too - lots of Bass.
And now I am compelled - required, absolutelymustgo, nochoiceaboutit - to go to the concert this summer. Dang.
