You were great. You looked gorgeous and sounded like a pro.
But it seemed to be missing that special . . . je ne sais Spots. It seems like they scripted/edited out the best of your personality. And after all, your commentary is the only reason to watch this. Who wants to watch some uninteresting and vapid moviegoer talk about how ". . .like, throughout the whole movie, we were dialoguing with each other. . ." (Can someone tell me what the hell that means, anyway?)
More Spots On The Red Carpet!!

Thanks! I think it was a little harder this time because the stars of the show weren't doing interviews. I mean, not everyone can be Benjamin Bratt...

I think dialoguing is when you talk so much you lose track of how much you're talking. Plus they were talking about dialogue. p.s. I thought the interviews were great!

There was a moment when it nearly happened. When the two 50-somethings were quizzed on dating & on-screen sex, the je ne sais Spots almost got rolling.

I love "je ne sais Spots." It is such a perfectly-put way of describing Beth's work.
