Blah di blah

There's a huge warehouse type store downtown that sells things from clearance, and it has the most random selection of stuff ever. Normally it's all crap, but I found a bottle of black! nailpolish for only 0.39$ and bought Can't Hardly Wait for 3.50$. Yay for bargains!

This movie is like someone took all of my favourite teen hits from the '90's, kidnapped their casts and jumbled them all together into a giant 'Where's Waldo' style puzzle. Preston, the main character, is played by Ethan Embry who played Mark in Empire Records. The number of Buffy alumni is scary. Amber Benson appears for about 3 seconds with a banana. Channon Roe played Jack O'Toole in the Zeppo. Nicole Bilderback was a Cordette in The Wish, and gets to play "Ready to have sex Girl". Eric Balfour, who played Jesse in Welcome to the Hellmouth is a random stoner who licks brownie off Jennifer Love Hewitt, and I'm sure I saw Marcy the Invisible Girl in there somewhere too. Veruca is in there too, the skanky were-whore. And it's not just Buffy. Erik Pallidino, granted, is not from a '90s hit, but he was on Joan of Arcadia. Donald Faison from Scrubs and Clueless does wonders with an enormous cowboy hat.

Ever since I saw the ads for it when I was ...9?! years old, I wanted to see it, and I was totally convinced I was pathetic because of it. Seth Green as a rapper held some mysterious fascination for me. He's really wonderful, and the scenes between him and Denise in the bathroom are really sweet and funny.
I love Ethan Embry, so it makes me sad that JLH was cast as his romantic interest. If only they'd picked an actress rather than a stick with breats, their relationship might have transcended the cliche.

In conclusion, "Your feet smell" is the best prelude to kissing someone, ever.

There's this strange self-congratulatory tone going on during the Canada for Asia concert coverage. I don't know if that's a strategy to get people to donate or what, but it makes me a tad uncomfortable. I don't think we should be the focus, especially considering the fact that only Greece, Portugal and the United States give less than Canada in foreign aid. Sigh.

movies, politics, buffy
