You mean, Mac . . . AAAUGGHHHH!

Actually, I don't recall it being particularly bloody and disturbing. At the time I thought it a straightforward telling of a play that is bloody and disturbing, which, perhaps, one occasionally forgets while reading it.

It's on DVD (and it's widescreen):
The cheapest place to get it now is deepdiscount for $22.42 inc. shipping.

Perhaps because the target audience has ****e for taste. I gave the first one a shot when it was new. I like musicals, and I work with teens. Plus the director has some solid credentials as a choreographer (most notably Dirty Dancing). So I went in wanting to like it.... I hated it. All the over hyping was an even bigger turn off. I refuse to watch the second one, especially since even the few adults I know who liked the first say the second is a lame retread.

Hmmm, now I'd like to find out which it is .... but in order to determine whether HSM2 is a retead, I'd have to watch both of them.


And, uh, that's not something I'm willing to do.

Even Tori didn't seemed overly impressed with it.

Maddy was out on Friday night so we DVR'd it - she started watching it Saturday but then we ran out to do some errands and she hasn't finished it yet. Not that she didn't have time just wasn't interested in watching the rest.

Friday is the bomb. Now I'm thinking of all my favorite parts!

"Smokey, why you go bangin' on the door like you the poe-lice?"
(everytime somebody knocks too hard, I spout that line.)

I just bought The Hot Chick on DVD this weekend. At $7.99 at Best Buy, that's a steal. I got Encino Man for that price, too.

And yeah, I LOVE PAULIE SHORE MOVIES. I can quote both Son-In-Law & Encino Man at length.

And High School Musical 1 & 2? I'm dying to see both. I caught bits of the first one the other night on the Disney channel. My poor boyfriend walked in the room and was like, "WTF?" I think Ashley Tisdale is darling & Zac Efron is smokin'!! (Although, I have to admit, I saw a clip from HSM 2 on The Soup this weekend of baseball players leaping to each base and spinning and skipping while twirling their bats. I was dying! Mostly because my boyfriend, a total sports fanatic, turned ghostly at the sight.)

My girlfriend Leigh, the other night, after we saw Hairspray, was like, "if I was 17 again I'd be so in love with Zac Efron!" I was like, "17 again? I'm 34 & I'm still lusting. He's legal."

So let me all beat you to the punch- apparently my taste is in my mouth, I'm a huge fan of craptacular movies, and I'm a predator of teenage boys. But I'm honest.

'Friday' is one of the most funny movies I've ever seen!!

{what is difficult is trying not to show the kids that we 'get' a lot of the funny stuff....and, yes, we have watched this with the little one, too}

The two sequels were good but the first one was best.

The other movies you posted, dang, funny!! I love 'Encino Man' {love Brendan Frasier, I think he has a new movie out but I only knew this by walking around Blockbuster?!!!}.

Ah, le lust.

Yeah. I get that. My friend told me it isn't that we are naughty women, we just know their potential.

{or is that, in fact, naughty? }

Now that I've watched a few movies, I need to read a book. 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'. I think the other one I want to read/buy is 'Aria'. {okay,I am derailing...I'm so outta here!}

"Every time I come in the kitchen, you in the kitchen. In the ***damn refrigerator, eatin' up all the food. All the chicken. All the pig feet. All the collard greens. All the hog maw. I wanna eat some of them chitlins! I like pig feet!"

I love that line!! Hog maw?? That's the best name for a dish EVER. And in it's original Pennsylvanian German language it's even better. It's like, smegma or something. Wait..I gotta find out..

Oops. I'ts "Seimaaga". Hog maw, smegma, seimaaga. It's all foul ass to me.

Did anybody here see I'm Gonna Git You Sucka? The Chris Rock "gimmee some ribs!" scene slays me. In fact, I didn't even realize that was Chris Rock until catching it on cable a few years ago. Chris Rock slays me, too.

I found one of the best rib scene quotes on IMDb!
Rib Joint Customer: Ya got any soda?
Hammer: One dollar.
Rib Joint Customer: Aw, c'mon, now! Look out for a brother, man, c'mon, yeah. Check this out: why don't you let me get a sip for fifteen cents?
Hammer: My cups cost more than fifteen cents!
Rib Joint Customer: All right, f uck the cup. Pour it in my hand for a dime.

Oh, and it's not naughty, MouseWife! It's all about knowing the potential, as you say. My face may look older (which reminds me, I'm lusting for botox) but my hormones haven't aged a bit! If anything, they just keep going backwards giving me the drive of a teenage boy. This is why Zac & I are perfect for one another in some place in time (and maybe that place is on Mars, but it's still somewhere). Because, we're both teenage boys (me in hormonal spirit, he in, um, actuality.)

Welcome to what my friends call "Shelly logic". (my proper first name is Michelle).

The Loved One, a great guilty pleasure.
