I'm with you on that. And I never realised how insulting this song was towards starving nations til now... "God, aren't they fed yet? Do they even have Thanksgiving in Africa?"
"Oh, sure. Pilgrims, Indians... Tator Tots. It's a real party continent."
Um Tori Amos started playing the piano at two and a half and was in a conservatory by age 5. She's also a better piano player, and a better singer, she just didn't write pop music. And all her songs sound different. There's nothing that remarkable about Lady Gaga.
The crazy thing about this was I was watching it on the main page and the trailer for Salt started repeating itself - near the end of the track I thought they'd mixed in Angelina Jolie, scary thing was timing was perfect....
yeah, I was thinking today, why didn't they base it on the original PC version... then I realised watching Jake run left to right (and sometimes right to left) through a series of dungeon levels would be really fucking boring... not a lot of plot to go on with that one...
I actually showed up at my friend's place as they were watching the last twenty mins of Sixth Sense, then admitted after I'd never seen it. It's not worth watching it or any of M Night's movies if you know the twist. And when I did finally see it I thought it was crap anyway, knowing he's dead just makes it crappier. "The Chick in the Crying Game is really a man.... I mean, man was that a good movie."
I will join you in your hope of Hey Hey not going beyond the "reunion show" stage, and if the worst does happen, will get the boat and prepare us for expatriation back to .... I dunno anywhere but here.... you pick.
Scratch that, turns out the skit WAS the exact same one they had on 20 years ago. Same guys. Only this time they went up against Harry Connick Jr and the fact they're all doctors now don't mean nuthin to Harry.
That's not the sick part. The sick part is this show used to be on years ago, got taken off the air and has actually come back on Australian TV and this is exactly the kind of skits they had back in the 80s. I can't believe my favourite website just merged with my least favourite television show and created vomit in my mouth.
Um... this whole idea of "Retroscripting" came around from Dr. Katz Professional Therapist and Home Movies. The voice actors had a basic premise to work with, some lines were scripted but there was a lot of ad lib. I wouldn't put The Hills in the same pigeonhole as Home Movies or Curb. It's not what you do but how well you do it. And it looks like the Hills is doin' it wrong.
Tickets for general social douchery, what an excellent revenue raiser. Fine idea. I think I could have issued about ten of those at my work this week alone.
Perhaps worse than this movie was watching it with my family in a crappy inner city motel at 9am. When I was 13. I have very vivid images of this movie, as I do of my family sitting around very quietly. I think I was so in love with Ferris Bueller back then I would happily watch anything with Matthew Broderick in it. My, how things have changed....
It's really been a banner year for "estranged sister comes to town and screws up other sister's wedding" movies. We walked out of Rachel's Getting Married. Should I add that to the list or have we filled the dysfunctional family movie quota already? I think Gabe's suffered enough, personally.
