Idiot

That's so weird, I found an unused glowstick while cleaning my house the other day, and I was wondering what to do with it.

She's done a reverse Kirsten Dunst.

PS - Liv Tyler in The Leftovers.

It's like the Mona Lisa grew a mould beard.

Whoever mentioned the first half of The Devil Wears Prada being good was bang on.

Watching whatsherface go from grug to grug-chic while winning the respect of Streep'n'Tucci and upstaging Emily [rhymes with] Blunt is tons of fun, then it's all Simon Baker-Denny typecast as Simon Baker and a weird tangent where we're supposed to feel for the Devil and her divorce and getting white-anted by the French Dolly Doctor and losing her 101 dalmatians or some shit. And what the f@#k was Aquaman doing there?! Must've been when E was schtooping Ashley.

I liked Confessions of a Shop-a-holic better.

Is that like the Confessions of a Driving Instructor type movies that came out of England in the 70's?

There is probably an equivalent amount of focus on scarves?

 

[Grave Danger]

"The 'I get really a get these days brother' thread is "short for what you long for" - I don't get it?"

Of course this works better with the particularly dopey Taylor Walker picture that isn't showing here. Anyone know what's up with the pictures today? Apparently the new Firefox version is just coincidental

 

[Stromageddon]

On the chick flick topic, I never really minded 50 First Dates. I've probably watched it far too many times.

Can't stomach any other Sandler movies though.

Which reminds me of Portia's great Adam Sandler movie idea which I actually had bookmarked because I knew at one point in the future (i.e. now) it would be relevant again.

I have a `great' idea for an Adam Sandler film actually.

He plays James "Jimmy" Fothrington III, the materialistic son of a eccentric billionaire. His dad dies, but when it comes to the will, the old man doesn't leave Sandler any money, giving it all to a trust run by <generic hot actress> the lawyer to be used in ways that Dad outlines (most of which are obscure and/or stupid, like a carnival for old people), and that there will be a small allowance for Jimmy if he works for the foundation.

When he is put in a situation by bad guy Chet Winter, where he can take a large but not huge small amount of money but destroy the foundation in the process, he is tempted to do it. Film shit happens, he hooks up with lawyer chick.

Something happens, Jimmy announces he will not go through with Chet's plan as previously agreed, but want s the foundation to go on for ever. Hooray for everyone.

At this point, hot lawyer chick reveals that there was a secret will that was the real will, that gave Jimmy full control of the foundation and all its assets, because he had proven he had seen that there were more important things in life than money and having fun. Cue end titles with stupid still photos of dumb shit Steve Buscemi and Rob Schnyder's characters have done.

****. I came up with Adam Sandler film fanfic.

Punch Drunk Love was good, although hard to understand the motivation of Emily Watson's character.

Click annoyed me SO MUCH for its internal inconsistencies.

 

[Portia]

Quadgeddoncross - you're good people

 

[Janus]

So Janus, what does Australia get out of it?

There's always something. The problem is, the media is never privy to back channel communications - it just happens a few months down the track with a governmental gazette release "Russia buying wheat from Australia in multi-billion dollar deal" or "BHP in partnership with Gazprom to build new pipeline".

That's how these "international incidents" usually work.

 

[Portia]

Yeah, nah, thats just regular corruption with $$$.

 

[manureid]

I liked the Waterboy. Come at me.

And all boys at some stage upon seeing boobies (in the flesh, and being shown to you on purpose for the first time) have thought/vocalised the Waterboys line 'I-I-I appreciate what you are showing me right now'.

Timothy Lea? I also liked the Russ Tobin series (books only though) http://www.stanleymorgan.co.uk/tobin.htm

I thought That's My Boy was cruelly underrated and a welcome return to form for Sandler.

 

[It Just Is]

I like the idea Portia but feel James "Jimmy" Fothrington III needs to have some form of unusual disability with an irrelevant back story to tie the whole plot together.

Yep, Ribald T/A and some bush comedy if there ever was. A horny young man's life well before the interwebz.

Well obviously he's outrageously rude because he has Asperger Syndrome.

This and The Wedding Singer

And of course Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison for the nostalgia factor.
