It's Electra-fying

I recently heard an introduction of Carmen Electra as she was out promoting the silly Cheaper by the Dozen II.

Which the mention of this will force me to digress to why do studio executives insist on making sequels? In fact I'm afraid that there can be no more doubts that the Hollywood film making machine has most definitely hit rock bottom. When you look at many of the movies that were released in 2005 how many held original stories. The movies were either remakes of an old movie (Ashton Kutcher I'm looking at you), movies based on old TV shows (how could they sully the reputation of The Dukes of Hazzard? and Bewitched-need I say more?), movies based on novels, or sequels to movies that probably sucked to begin with. Not to say one way or another whether any of these movies were good. It's just the lack of originality that I have issue with.

Anyway, back to my point....

Carmen Electra was introduced by the interviewer in this manner:

"From Baywatch to Playboy, our next guest has done it all"

I just involuntarily grimaced when I heard that charming introduction, as if it was illustrating some extreme range of talent.

Let it be known for the record, I'm by no means calling into question Carmen Electra's quite obvious talents.
