She's sweet, but she's fucked up

Two for the price of one

I wrote this yesterday but never posted:

Why do I find it so funny that Pat O'Brien is in rehab. Maybe it's the mental picture I have of him drunk off his a** at a strip club fondling some 19 year old girl working her way through medical school. Yep, just Pat and his mustache having one helluva time.

Friendster: The Movie. This is going to suck (b/c I'm sure everyone else has high hopes for it)...I can tell you, it's going to be probably the equivalent of "You've Got Mail" but instead of AOL, it will be Friendster bringing the two completely opposite but oh so right for each other desperate losers together. I'm sure a bunch of hilarious things will happen along the way. Like maybe, one person sends the other a message but b/c Friendster blows they don't get it in time and soon their on a train to Virginia to meet someone else they've met online who's also into The Killers and HWOSG. Bitter f*cking sweet.

I wrote this today:

Last night I watched what is destined to become a Lifetime Television for Women classic: Mom at Sixteen. It wasn't quite as awesome as Fifteen and Pregnant but it's borderline impossible to top Kirsten Dunst's tour de force performance in that gem. So back to Mom at Sixteen...my favorite part had to be (warning...spoiler ahead!) at the end of the movie when the 16 year old mom brought her baby to school to warn the other students what can happen if you have sex then at the end of her speech, people slowly started to give her a standing ovation (you know, when one person starts slowly clapping their hands together then another joins in then another and soon the entire room is filled w/ applause...I've always wanted to be the person that starts that...kind of like starting the wave). Can you believe it? These were the same people that called her a slut earlier in the movie when they found out she had a baby. Her speech was THAT powerful. I wasn't the only person affected by the movie, night_godess_the_lonely_unicorn (on IMDB...she also reviewed such movies as "A Walk to Remember" and "The Notebook"...she loves the tearjerkers) had this to say (regarding Danielle Panabaker's performance):
She played a confused, scared single mother..It actually seemed like this was coming from a real 16 year old single mom..Most stories seem like they were written by a 35 year old male..This one was so well written, that you would think it came straight from a 16 year old girl's mind..It was definitely a great movie, that I would watch again in a heartbeat
So would I night godess...so would I.

I'm so immature...some guy named Linus just called and I got a mental picture of Linus from Charlie Brown pounding away on his piano. And I giggled.
