We went to see this so we could preview it because Jeff is dying to see it. Plus, in a guilty pleasures kind of way, I kind of wanted to see it. Role Models is crass, crude, inappropriate, demeaning toward women in every imaginable way. And I laughed my ass off all the way through it. Seriously.
Casting was great. Paul Rudd is perfect as the uptight, straightlaced Danny. And Seann William Scott is adorably sexy and so totally inappropriate as Wheeler. Putting these two in charge of two kids for 150 hours? SCARY!
Our first thought on seeing the first scenes with Bobb'e J. Thompson, who plays Ronnie, was how much fun that little kid must have had playing that role! A more foul-mouthed little kid you'll never find. Of course, I'm a mother, so I also thought - Jeez, how could a mom let her little kid play a role with all that horrendous language and sex-talk?! But seriously, he was perfect. And Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who plays the unbelievably nerdy Augie, whose life is LAIRE (a bad mix of D&D meets the Renaissance Faire), is also perfect.
So if you are not easily offended (seriously, the first line of the movie was disgustingly offensive), and have no problem with women being objectified for the sake of bad jokes, this movie was fricken' hilarious. Take it for what it is, full of political incorrectness, and you'll be good.
In other incredibly important news, Wendy is home safe and sound after being evacuated during our SoCal Blogger meetup. Thank heavens she and her Man are safe and sound!!
Here we all are on Saturday. We missed you this time, Holly, Rowena, and Daphne!!

Movie Review: Role Models

Sex & The City- The Movie
Yep. Saw it today. Loved it! So much more than the fluff I imagined it would be. You get Carrie, Louise, Big, Miranda, Steve, Brady, Magda, Samantha, Smith, Samantha's hunky neighbor Dante, Charlotte, Harry, their adopted daughter Lily (who is so beautiful)... add them all up and you get laughs... oh so many laughs; tears, I shed more than a few and I must say you will probably cry a bit too (how could you not??!); happiness, disappointment, gasps, snickers, oh no's, yes's.
I rarely go to the theater to see movies because frankly it costs too damn much. I only go if I KNOW a movie will be worth the cost. Sex & The City, to me, was well worth it. I'm considering going again... it was THAT good. FABULOUS!

How did I forget Kristie's crusade? North and South... and an aside about our fearless leader
Oh. My. God. What a beautiful movie. I watched it weeks ago, but completely forgot to post about it!
Loved every minute of it - from the beautiful scenes in the south to the dirty, ugly north. From Richard Armitage's beautifully intense, tender, stoic, emotion-laden John to Daniela Denby-Ashe's baby-faced, righteous, indignant, lonely Margaret.
I swear, there must be some school he went to (and got an A+) to perfect those longing, intense looks. And the ending... just gorgeous and perfect! Sigh...
And on a completely, totally unrelated note...
Can I say what an ass our president is? Only the man who insulted the Queen of England by basically calling her ugly, and accidentally calling her about 250 years old would say to the Pope, "Thank you, Your Holiness, awesome speech." Tell me again how we elected this doofus not once, but twice?

Lookie What I Found...
So, I'm scanning Amazon, checking to see what DVDs are coming out when, and I came across these that became available Sept. 11...
More after the cut...
And even with all this, some people call Nora a fake and a fraud. *shaking head* Some people are IDIOTS.
