Lars and the Dumb Girls

About a week ago I went to see the movie Lars and the Real Girl. I didn’t really know what to expect. I roughly knew what the film was about but had not seen anything on it. I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I thought a movie about a guy who has a sex doll for a girlfriend would be really humorous, so I didn’t expect it to be so touching. I know that the parts that almost made me cry were largely due to my overly emotional almost-anything-could-make-me-cry kind of day, but still. Lars and the Real Girl was able to make me become emotionally invested in a sex doll.

Most of these moments were unfortunately interrupted by some stupid, vapid bitches who actually thought it was okay to laugh hysterically through a film. Instead of the crazy MPAA rating system our country currently has, they should decide if people are competent enough to see certain movies in public. I don’t want to be forced to overhear the extremely loud conversation of three of the stupidest sixteen year olds to exist. I also don’t want to be forced to sit by some teenage boy that giggles every time he sees boobs. It’s not my fault he can’t see them in real life.

Go and see Lars and the Real Girl. It’s a sweet movie that does nice things with dirty toys. Also, if you get stuck in a theater with girls only there to see Ryan Gosling, just throw a large object at their heads. It really would be doing the world a favor.

Remember When She Could Still See the Kids? Britney Roundup

I know, every day there is a new story out about Britney and how she’s fucking things up now. I figured I might as well jump on the wagon because really no matter how much Britney stuff there is, it’s still fun. So aside from the usual flashing of vag, going to court and hitting things with her car, it seems that she has found a new way to emphasize the white trash hidden within (well it’s not so much with the hidden anymore). One of her recent episodes involved some undie shopping at a Hustler store. She found several pair of trashy underwear and went to try them on. An employee of the store told her people aren’t allowed to try on underwear, and thank god. Could you imagine the kind of people who would be rubbing their nasty, crusty cooches all over those underwear. Gross. Britney got pissed and threw a fit. She apparently pulled off the underwear she was wearing and tried on the new ones while there were around 15 other people in the store. Well, maybe this does fall under the flashing of the vag category. Anyways, US Weekly described how the incident continued.

Spears' tantrum only continued. "The staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card," the source tells Us. As payback, "on her way out, she went up to a mannequin, snatched the wig off the head, and stole it!"

So not only did she feel like it was okay for her to try on underwear in the middle of a store, but she stole a wig. I guess it makes sense. Her wigs haven’t been looking so good lately. So it is a new low in her life when Hustler is making her seem crusty.

Well, there is some good news. Britney has finally denied the baby rumors. Lets hope she’s not lying so that she can go on Letterman again to announce it, although it was fun to watch her try to read cue cards on camera. But seriously, she might be taking this whole white trash thing a little too far if she keeps getting herself knocked up.

She has also been named the number one searched topic on Yahoo for the year. Yeah Britney! Who needs Grammies or VMAs when the whole world is searching for pictures of your cooch? Some of her publicity has actually been focused on her music. Fresh Air on NPR recently did a review of her new album, and they gave it a pretty good review. I loved how they acted as though all of the songs were really personal to her. We all know how much she was involved in the writing process. I do, however, have to admit that I couldn’t help dancing a little to two of the songs they played. Now if only she could stop showing up twelve hours late to everything and stop humping every object she passes…

The What’s What on Project Runway

So, the fourth season of Project Runway is underway, and we’ve been introduced to a whole new group of designers. So far it seems like there are several more people who I just can’t remember than on previous seasons. Maybe this is due to the lack of drama. Whenever there is something going on, it always happens between people who I already know. WTF. I can’t truly judge and scrutinize what I can’t remember. Well, maybe I can.

First of all there is the young sassy one, Christian. He’s only 21 and looks just like Marco from Degrassi the Next Generation. His resemblance to Marco makes me hold a soft spot for him. Plus, he may be bitchy, but he is one of the only ones that is willing to make snarky comments about fellow designers. Elisa is another designer that needs to be mentioned. She is the out-there spiritual one who doesn’t believe in using sewing machines and spit marks her clothes. She seemed like she was a river lady there for amusement at first, but her recent pieces haven’t been bad. The good news about Elisa is that she seems far less abrasive than the previous characters to fit her description. Remy is another one I need to talk about, not because he’s good or talented, but because he’s creepy. He slightly resembles Nigel Barker from Top Model but is far more creepy. Who knew, right? He won the first challenge, and his dress was nice but really just looked like a toga to me. Ehhh. Victoria is next. She’s been in the top two twice now. I like her. She seems kind of like a cold-hearted bitch, but I like that in a woman. Victoria seems like a woman that would make a really great power bitch. I can see her giving out orders and smacking those who don’t comply. I like it.

On a different note, there is one person that I enjoy having around, and that is Ricky. I don’t know what I like more, his crazy stripper hats or multiple tears that fall every episode. When Ricky is on the screen I sometimes think I’m watching Top Model. Part of me hates him and thinks he should go, but then there are those hideous hats. He shouldn't last too long, but the crying is great. Sweet P and Kit are both blonde headed and slightly punk. Sweet P in the tough older version, while Kit in the younger ‘I wear lots of black with bright red lipstick everyday’ one. Both have produced some nice outfits, and Sweet P’s reactions to working with Elisa were quite entertaining. Chris is someone I could love. He’s big, gay and sassy. I loved the first episode when the designers were running toward a tent. He was yards behind but still got exactly what he wanted. I want to see more commentary with him. I think it would be fantastic. I’m liking Jack the more I get to know him. At first I didn’t think much about him, but after the last episode I started to like him and not just because he has HIV. Oh, and Jillian. Something about her irks me. That dress she made in the first episode was fugly. I wish she would go. What ev.

Tomorrow is a new episode and hopefully I will be able to have actual coherent thoughts about it. Maybe I’ll drink a bottle of wine while I watch then write about it. It might be more entertaining that way.
