Ricardo Gomez (a.k.a Bearcardo) has been something of ubiquitous presence in our lives during this past semester, what with his involvement in the walkout and compulsive commenting on the Daily Cal website and the Clog. So much so that he is a known personality even among the other commenters.
As one guest put it:
I BEAT RICARDO ALBERT GOMEZ IN LEAVING A COMMENT!!!!
So who is this mysterious character? The Clog sat down with him a few weeks ago to find out.
Oh Mark Yudof. We know the last few months haven’t been the easiest for you. And it can’t be fun to have so many people blaming you for all the university’s problems.
While he may not have made all the best calls, we’re willing to believe that the current budget disaster runs a tad deeper than some misguided executive pay raises and management decisions.
Which is why we cringed a little bit when we read this interview with him in the New York Times.
Don’t get us wrong–Kim’s great as a personality, but that personality is too big for the role of interviewer. Watch and you’ll agree with us when we ask “Exactly who is being interviewed here?”
The interview emphasizes Kim with extended shots, especially one solely of her reactions as Viggo Mortensen and David Cronenberg provide just the voiceover. And although her bubbly personality carries well for a one-woman show, we don’t think the stars can hold a candle to her bouts of giggles. And that’s not a good thing.
Also, if we want to be really picky: WTF was up with the no-sound clapping and the random, jerky jump cut near the end? Jump cuts should be reserved for music videos and the crappy “experimental” film of a struggling art/film practice major.
Please, CalTV, give us a break and start up the show again. Leave the celebs alone.
