Great Moments in Talent Evaluation

Hannah Montana

After Disney Channels upteenth Suite Life of Zach and Codey all day marathon, the mouse premiered "Hannah Montana." Bryan's reaction?

"A show about a little teeny bopper pop star who leads a double life as a normal teenage girl.... played by one hit wonder Billy Ray Cyruses daughter, Miley? This will be canceled after one season."

Hannah Montana today may be single handedly keeping the economy afloat as pre teen girls force thier parents to take them to Mileys concerts.







Titanic

This James Cameron movie about the legendary boat that couldn't be sunk, that sank. Bryan's reaction?

"Like I want to see a movie about a sinking boat that stars Leonardo Dicaprio. This movie will sink faster then the ship it'self. Go back to making terminator films, Cameron."

Titanic to this day still holds the box office record after spending what seemed like ten years in the theaters. It even overcame Celine Dion's involvement with the soundtrack.



Nirvana

This band popped up on MTV, back when they played videos instead of all day marathons of room raiders and americas next top model, during a time period dominated by hip hop and dance music videos. Bryan's reaction after watching their video 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'?

"Bet I never see that video again."

Nirvana went on to establish the grunge music era in the early 90's, ushering in other acts like Pearl jam and Alice in Chains, which Bryan also wrote off.

Thank goodness I did not try a career in Hollywood. It might have gone something like this.

Talent Scout - "Bryan, I've got this script for the Batman sequal. It's called "the Dark Knight", and Batman fights the Joker."

Bryan - "Pheesh, sounds dumb. Fast track Dumb and Dumber four."
