Girls, beaches and more girls, so what's the problem, February 20, 2008
This review is from: The 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show (Amazon Instant Video)
Its really hard to say something bad about SI review of girls, beaches, swim wear. On one hand its about girls, bikinis (lack thereof) and beaches. You can't go wrong with that.
One the other hand, the event tries to get all preachy and gives us insight about the photographers, models, the location. Who really cares? Its about girls, bikinis (lack thereof) and beaches. Can't we all get along and focus on the really important stuff like girls, bikinis and beaches.
I mean I really don't care about locations, pirate ships or whether Walter is the greatest photographer known to man. Truth to tell I hate Walter and his crew of people. He gets to go to beaches and take pictures of women. So I don't want to hear about his problems. I just want see girls, bikinis and beaches.
The reason that I rate it so badly is that I don't get anything out of it. SI gets the money and the publicity, the models get publicity, the photographers get the publicity but I get nothing out of it except visual pleasure. So just give me the visual pleasure without the blather.

How did they manage to make this boring?, March 1, 2008
This review is from: The 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show (Amazon Instant Video)
Take a handful of the world's most beautiful tall undernourinshed 20'ish women and film them in strained positions looking bored. Call it a show.
DON'T let them tell you about themselves (which would probably be funny and touching).
I say SI - shoot this again. Get a loft in Greenwish Village, have the very same set of women sit around in T-Shirts and jeans, no make-up, sipping some wine, and just tell their stories. (OK, lowcut wet t-shirts and tight jeans, but still, .....).
Seriously, I did watch this 30 minute show on television (I DVR'd it), and I had to force myself to watch the whole thing. And I am a guy that loves to watch beautiful women.
Somehow, SI has managed to take one of life's greatest joys and drain the life and joy OUT of it.

Unbox Videos look fine, February 27, 2008
This review is from: The 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show (Amazon Instant Video)
I've downloaded various unbox videos, the quality isn't as good as HD, but looks roughly the same as regular TV. i think those who say it looks horrible either have very high standards or need to adjust their sets.
