Movie Moment — Mean Girls Monday: Kälteen bars edition

The bizarre self-esteem and weight issues that the character of Regina evinces in this movie will be a recurring theme some other, better-researched day because, like the movie itself, those traits are satirically funny and cutting while still being devastatingly true, but today let’s focus on the great comedic timing of this specific Mean Girls movie moment.

Mean Girls Monday: Sherlock Holmes edition

Speaking of which, I think the o.g.b.d. really enjoyed seeing Sherlock Holmes yesterday. I totally blurted out on our way to the theater how much the way Robert Downey, Jr. played Sherlock reminded me of him, against the plan I claimed to make that I would not say anything, so I’m afraid I spoiled that surprise. But otherwise I think he dug it. We got gushy over Zimmer’s excellent score, too. It was a lot of fun.

Per mi amica: Panda Eraser 2nd ed.

Panda Eraser asked me if I was going to trivia at P. Wexford’s tonight, and I am full of weakage and do not know yet. The conversation we had put me in mind of this. Et tu, P.E.?:

Karen: I can’t go out. [cough] I’m sick.
Regina: Boo. You whore.

Classic. Us.

Unlikely G: Drew Barrymore NSFW edition

Turns out Miss Drew Barrymore is a total magnet for nude models.

Who knew? (my hand slowly raises…)

“So then, for my birthday party, which was an all-girls pool party, I was like, “Janis, I can’t invite you, because I think you’re lesbian.” I mean I couldn’t have a lesbian at my party. There were gonna be girls there in their bathing suits. I mean, right? She was a lesbian.” –Regina George, life-ruiner, Mean Girls
