Conjure ghosts7/26/2023 ![]() The "reality tv" thing has run its course! Now, IF Ke$ha were to actually try more formal acting in a supernatural themed tv show with a dramatic, fictional story arc revolving around the "supernatural", I might be more intrigued. My guess is she hasn't read anything on the subject except Time/Life books! Her script is weak, the subjects are stuff that have been foisted on tv viewers now for 20 years at least. She's acting like she knows anything about the "supernatural" and "occult". This week its Ke$ha (sorry, I find the dollar sign to hilarious to resist) trying to "act" here. Two weeks ago I got to watch some dumb bigfoot reality show with some goofy faux "scientists". As usual, the only actual television I watch is when I'm stuck in a hotel room. Yeah, she dropped the dollar sign presumably to appear less juvenile and crass(?). Yet another lowbrow "reality" show about the "supernatural"! The nifty twist here is that it is hosted and centered around yet another lowbrow pop star Ke$ha. Sorry kesha, i feel bad for you because you know, angry lady singer who has probably had a bad life and needs a new job or a job description refresh, but this isn't your thing - perhaps you need to try another thing has been singers do that isn't acting or television and film work because lady gaga you ain't. This is trash, its unoriginal, badly done and worse of all it completely lacks any reason at all to go past Ep1. Ive no idea who approves these shows, but whoever they are they need a performance view. Kesha is a mediocre talent as far as her singing goes so i'm not sure why someone didn't bother to screen test her before giving her a show - she has about as much charisma here as a bowl of vomit - which is odd because that is probably the thing that she has in abundance compared to say her vocal talent - it is likely why she is a celebrity - but she appears to have decided to leave her charisma at home on filming day and instead decided to regurgitate the aforementioned well trodden path of ghost chasing nonsense. There is NOTHING new to see here, it is THE SAME. ![]() this show follows a VERY well worn path to the same places and tells the same ahhh stories. This genre of show is of course notorious for never actually showing footage of anything besides hosts and their handoffs running, screaming, yelling, running more, entering dark rooms and yelling and running. Running about yelling 'what the hell is that' does not make for a scary show, a thrilling show or even a show about ghosts and so on - it just makes for a very boring and tedious waste of time. There is no celebrity besides Kesha, and there is no talent at all, anywhere. The title 'celebrity' doesn't have a very high bar any more, and certainly it doesn't suggest that the celebrity has an actual talent or specific skill, and this is certainly true here. Faux friend celebrities - has anyone heard of these people? I've no idea, maybe in america these are well known people.

Evocatio was thus a kind of ritual dodge to mitigate looting of sacred objects or images from shrines that would otherwise be sacrilegious or impious. The ritual was conducted in a military setting either as a threat during a siege or as a result of surrender, and aimed at diverting the god's favor from the opposing city to the Roman side, customarily with a promise of a better-endowed cult or a more lavish temple. The Latin word evocatio was the "calling forth" or "summoning away" of a city's tutelary deity. ![]()
