BRUCE RECYCLES JOKES BUT I DON'T CARE...TRA LA LA.
Mood: Um...freakified
Sound: Come on Eileen- Save Ferris
Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
Moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along, who'd blame them
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever
Go toora loora toora loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers
That's my theme song...for no reason at all..mwahahaha!
Okay, sorry.
Um, let's take it from the top. First of all, although I'm sure Mr. McCulloch did try his best, Stealing Harvard was, at most, a very, uh, intelligent (?) teen movie. Plus, even though "it's not a Tom Green movie", I must wonder why in the hell Tom was given so much screen time if it wasn't for him. Jason Lee seemed like he wasn't allowed to perform to his fullest comedic potential. And this was the first time I've seen the man in a movie so I'm not sure...but I wish he could have gotten more jokes instead of being left as, well...the stright man. Ooh, but I don't think I laughed as hard at any other joke (yes, even the "Steve, Kyle" joke..fo' reals) when Mr. Lee muttered "bastards" angrily about the insurence companies. It's just that he seemed so convictional about it...gahd.
Ahhh! It's Fidio (sp?) the lawyer! A doppelganger (there's that word again) for Bruce...with more hair! Ahhh! Brandie and I screamed when we saw him. Throughout the entire movie we had been trying to figure out where Bruce would appear. I thought for sure he'd be in a dress...or play one of the cops (wishful thinking..sigh). I luff that man. When he's not being "an arrogant asshole" (ha ha...newsgroups r00l), he rocks my socks in such a way that I can't wear socks anymore!
What the! A Kids in the Hall, Tour of Duty DVD? MWA! Too cool! Steff, we musta start the countdown..with a whole lotta milka (yes, I finally saw the sketch. I get it, I get it! Yay for getting stuff!)
Even though we strayed only a little...let's get back to Bruce...twenty-six years older than me Bruce...Brucio, member of a two-man posse (which, if all plans work, I shall join)...Bruce, whose Conan interview was nice..but not great. I had been expecting so much more from it. I mean, two of my favorite guys bantering back and forth for five minutes? What could be greater? Well..apparently Joey Fatone (I can only remember how to spell his name because of the "Fat One" joke he made) from *NSync.
Am I the only one who would die if Kids in the Hall popscicles suddenly went on the market? What flavors would they be?
Anyway, I conclude that Stealing Harvard, if at best, will only do as well as Super Star did. I can kind of see how not being a KITH fan can make it hard to sit through the film itself. Brandie and I were almost weeping on Bruce's behalf when we saw teenagers with short attention spans ditching out early. Others stayed probably because they weren't about to waste ten bucks...ha ha, Coronians are so cheap. I was being obnoxiously Katio-like in the theatre. When some ditzy adoloscent called out rudely during the movie "Tyler! Over here!", I couldn't help but shout out in mimic "No Tyler! Over here!" Which resulted in a couple more calls out to precious Tyler from around the theatre. Five minutes later when a girl was still beating the dead horse, I had to put an end to it all with "No Tyler! The joke is dead!" Ha ha...I love it when so-called "class clowns" are embaressed.
Oh! And when we were at the concession stand, the nice little acne-faced boy who conned me into buying a jumbo popcorn I couldn't finish and a large soda ("You get free re-fills!") was great fun. He went along with every stupid thing Brandie and I said..and stupidity was in vast amounts that fateful friday the thirteenth. The only nay-saying I must do about the lad is that when he gave me my fantastic free re-fill, he gave me Coke instead of Mr. Pibb...oh..for shame, movie-boy...for shame.
All in all, the movie-going experience was great. I get to say I was the movie on opening day and Brandie gets to say that she saw Jason Lee in a dress...it's all good, homies...now...Save Ferris, play us out!
Come on Eileen, oh I swear (what he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen
