BC - Fri, 12/12/08

As usual, Fusion is being its professional best by having a photo shoot of their model in their crappy office. I'm amazed they aren't just using Amanda's cellphone camera in between calls and text messages. Half the photos the guy took didn't even have the white screen behind Randi, so the ad campaign will apparently show her wearing red lingerie in the office. Or is that a dress? I can't tell. Whatever it is, it easily fits both Randi and Amanda. As short as it is on Randi, it probably doesn't even cover Amanda's ass (hence Jake's comments about her looking like a hooker). That, BTW, was WAAAAY out of character for Jake to be insulting her like that. He's a nicer guy than that. Yeah, he was spoiling for a fight after being rejected by Taylor, but he could have found a better way to pick on JAR than by belittling Amanda, with whom he had an amicable breakup.

When the woman saw Aidan leaving Annie's room and demanded to know who he was, I half expected her to pull an Obi Wan Kenobi and tell her to ignore him and let him pass -- he's not the suspicious man she's looking for. :-)

Did you catch the mouth on the extra behind Jake and JAR when JAR punched him out? JAR punches him and the extra's jaw drops in surprise and horror. Okay, I can buy that. But she just stands there holding the pose. It was very short, anyway, but VERY obviously too long held that way. I was wondering if a dentist was suddenly going to appear to inspect her teeth because I can't think of any other reason for her to stand there with her mouth so unnaturally gaping. I can just hear her now talking to the director. Director: "Sweetie, I need you to hold your mouth open in surprise." Extra: "But NO ONE would actually DO that for more than a split second! How long am I supposed to stand there with my mouth gaping open? What if I start to drool?" "Director: "You do it until I say cut! This is *ALL* *MY* *CHILDREN*. You're an E-X-T-R-A. Do you part as written or you're out! There are a thousand other women out there to take your place in a heartbeat. The extra's jaw obediently drops and stays that way.

What kind of idiot honcho at a mental institution would allow someone who bribes him to have carte blanche access to the patients without having the slightest idea WHY the guy wants to be there? I mean, what if Aidan is a rapist fixated on Annie? The guy obviously has no idea who Aidan IS, just that he has money. This could come back to bite him in a major way, so you'd think he would do at least a tiny bit of homework on Aidan before letting him roam the halls. For all he knows Aidan is working for some investigative agency that's investigating the running of Oakhaven and the guy could easily lose his job or even go to prison for letting Aidan do whatever he wants.
