Re: "Wreck-It Ralph", I'm calling it out - looks like they managed to make a 50/50 hybrid of "Toy Story" and "Monsters Inc", where product placement can pass for "cameos" or "callbacks". It still looks funny, I just wish it didn't seem so cynical. #Grinch
Buble earned major points with me when I found out (via Julie Klausner's podcast) that his holiday album features a version of "Santa Baby", only he renamed it "Santa Buddy". It is still pretty flirty.
My favorite recent example of this was "The Roommate", which featured Leighton Meester, Minka Kelly, Cam Gigandet, and Aly Michalka. The poster doubles as an eye exam chart.
(Wait, anything with letters can double as an eye exam chart. Origins of Lacrosse, DIY vision screening... we're learning so much here today!)
Also, I would like to express some sincere affection for the energetic dance number at the start of every episode of "Blossom". Filmed cast dance parties should be mandatory regardless of subject matter. A real missed opportunity, cast of "Oz".
I think they should have had a spin-off where Paris decides that she needs more life experiences before she can run for office, so she impulsively buys a cruise ship. Michel and Sookie are her two head staff members and they just sail around "Love Boat" style and have wacky adventures with guest star passengers. Also, they get shipwrecked like twice a season.
