Some more good old fashioned Meg Ryan hating from American Dad (they were playing that game show Pyramid whatever):

Uh, okay. I was once America’s sweetheart.
Uh, I ruined my marriage for a quick fling.
Uh, Oh, “Please, Tom Hanks, I’m begging you do another movie with me?”
Things Meg Ryan would say? *ding*

My mom recently saw that ION was going to play Tango and Cash and expressed her interest in watching it (she hasn’t seen it before). Unfortunately, she missed all the showings and was a bit crestfallen, so I acquired it for her using special tricks. However, I noticed there was nudity in the version I acquired that would have been removed from the ION version. I then attempted to find out how one could obtain edited-for-tv versions of movies, but ended up having to edit the file myself for my mother’s viewing. Why I felt the need to edit a movie for my mother to watch is another matter.

Avatar. Woo boy! I got to the point where the guy says “You mean, you’ve never heard of the floating mountains of Pandora?” and I left the room.

I was forced to see the ending at my friend’s parents house around Christmas. It ended pretty much like I thought it would and I saved about 2 hours of my life.

(Which I probably turned around and wasted on Bachelor Party.)

I never watched Avatar, solely because it was too popular and I was suspicious. I am also mostly baffled by chick flicks, but will gladly abandon real life for a Die Hard marathon.

A chick flicks you may not hate (going off of the basis that I don’t hate them) would perhaps recommend sassy teen comedy Bring It On. A little dated now, but oddly cute and hilarious.

…but you were at the wedding and know that our special effects budget was too limited to have Chris marry himself and make it look that real!

Gotta agree on Casablanca being great.

Nazi fighting, wisecracks, drinking, smoking, all the high notes of old cinema.

Grey Gardens? A chick flick? I’ve never even heard of anyone seeing it, let alone it being a chick flick! I guess it is from the 70s, so what do I know about chick flicks back then? I saw the movie version of Grey Gardens they made with Drew Barrymore and it was like an episode of Hoarders with no happy ending. I watched the remake of The Women (by the way, Meg Ryan was in it, with her ruined face) and it wasn’t great. I rented the original and had to turn it off, it was sooo annoying. My favorite on the list is of course Thelma and Louise. It may be a chick flick, but it is a kick-ass chick flick.

Next time be a little creative and try “Krys” or “Karis”.

(P.S. Hi Kris!)

Not sure what that says about me, considering I watch a LOT of movies. I have seen the notebook, though, and it infuriated me. You’re supposed to sympathize with the protagonist, but she’s a complete monster the entire way through. Somehow people don’t see that, though.
