Clueless? Come on!

Add Baby Mama and Lilo & Stitch to the list. I honest to God loved both of those, so very much.

And is it sad that I can kinda remember most of the characters from TMNT? Oh shut up, between that, The Animaniacs and Pokemon, I spent most of my childhood watching Cartoons.

Once Neo learned his "powers", he no longer became vulnerable. He could do anything, and the suspense was lost. But when they take the main action out of the Matrix and into the real world, that's when I perched myself on the edge of my seat. People could and did die. Just the half-hour of the sentinel attack on Zion, was relentless, over the top, and action packed.

Exactly. "Reloaded" was philosophically interesting but action-boring, no way to invest in it. "Revolutions" was their decent "Return of the Jedi" after a middling "Empire".

I liked "Baby Mama" too.

You know...

Reloaded gets an inordinate and unfair amount of crap. If you put away the first Matrix's baggage Reloaded comes up as the best in the series. Not enough action?
What fucking movie were YOU watching? That whole sequence starting at the Merovingian's place leads to almost 40 minutes of non-stop fight/shootout/chase. That's more action, in one sequence, than in all the original, total. And that's just THAT sequence.

People are ashamed to like Clueless? I have that whole movie memorized.

I tried watching Grey Gardens, but every time Drew opened her mouth, my ears would ring. I eventually turned to Metalocalypse.

... and then Neo fried Sentinels in the real world. Because... you know.... stuff.

Also, no one ever discussed the actual logic of 'waking up' millions or perhaps billions of people into an apocalyptic barren world that could not support 1/100th of them.

Or that there was no reason for the Zion council to doubt Neo when any number of crews on any number of ships would have been watching him and Trinity take down Agents in real time. Not to mention Neo's resurrection.

And let's not discuss the political potential of two groups of people, one of whom lives entirely in the ruins of the civilization the other can visit with the flip of a switch.

Let's just have some half-baked Jesus metaphors and mecha that require handtruck reloading in the middle of battle. Yeahhh.

Yeah twig that movie was balls-out moronic.

The scene of Neo talking to the council guy about what keeps the machines running is much more interesting.

The only shame I have in watching Lilo and Stitch is that I want to get with Nani.

And that I didn't have to look up her name, or that I know she's voiced by Tia Carrere.

Okay, maybe I should be ashamed...

Dr. C: Damn, that's some deep shit. I just liked it because I was twelve and the little alien guy looked like a puppy. That, and he's a pretty useful summon in Kingdom Hearts II.

...Yeah I'm a nerd.

People who are ashamed to love Clueless are just virgins who can't drive.

Amy Poehler in Baby Mama is genius, so I'm right there with you Jeremy. "Bitch, I don't know your life!"

I dropped a friendship because of Twilight. True story.

Revolutions failed because it took the easy way out. I thought Reloaded was ok, but the ending was baffling, and I found that intriguing. When Neo takes out a sentinel with his mind in the "real" world I let out a "Whoa!" and starting geeking on the possibilities. Before Revolutions I was convinced Zion was in the Matrix and none of them had found the real world. Both the artificial world and Zion world were just constructs of the Matrix control and in Revolutions Neo would finally break through and find it and Earth would not be scorched but healed because it was 1000s of years later. I thought that idea was excellent.

Then Reloaded came out and CGI mech warriors fired and unending stream of bullets at mechanical squids for 45 minutes.

Clueless is awesome, if for no other reason that it has Twink Caplan and that's my favorite actress name ever. Twink!

Here's why the Matrix bugged me - all that technology and ships and the underground city thing, and no one can have clothes without holes? Seriously?

Both the artificial world and Zion world were just constructs of the Matrix

Oh yeah, TylerDFC, I forgot that there was another entire plotline of interesting concepts and potential conclusions they failed to execute in any compelling way.

I'm going to get a tattoo that says, 2:24 pm 4/24/09 to commemorate the moment Sarina BROKE MY HEART!

Good day, Crazypants. I SAID GOOD DAY!

Yes, I've heard you before, but I thought maybe there was a recent head injury which was causing you to make RIDICULOUS (correction - ridiculouser) statements. Also, you voluntarily watched it again a couple of weeks ago. WHO DOES THAT?

AND you used the word "immaterial". No one uses that word. Except Rhett Butler. Coincidence?

Sarina - Finally! A woman with some sense when it comes to Gone with the Wind!!! My wife made me watch it when we were dating and I told her it was good so I could get laid. Now that we're married, I tell her it sucks every chance I get. Marriage is the best.

"And, come on! Alicia Silverstone was completely adorable!"

Replace "completely adorable" with "ample masturbation fodder until Aerosmith comes out with a new video" and you'd be dead-on...

"Also, you voluntarily watched it again a couple of weeks ago. WHO DOES THAT?"

Lainey, my love, we don't really have TIME to get into the litany of things wrong with me.

I made Mr. Gavin watch the first 10 minutes or so of GWtW. Just so he had some clue of how awful it could get.

Maybe for a belated birthday present, I'll tell him he's off the hook for the other 10+ hours of it. I think that's the compassionate thing to do.

Not only is Clueless great, it's a Jane Austin adaptation, so it's literary. Though if anything I like the fact that they didn't tie themselves too tightly to the original story.
And with art criticism about Monet you just can't loose:

'Do you think she's pretty?'
'Oh no! She's a total Monet'
'What's a Monet?'
'From a distance she looks good, but up close she's a total mess'.

Tracer, I'm pretty sure Revolutions was the third one with the mechs and the shooting and the squids, not Reloaded.

i'm not ashamed to have liked 'clueless'. it was a cute movie. and talk about "quotable".

you know you said "as if" at least once to an unsuitable admirer.

"I don't understand people who feel shame for loving "bad" movies. "

Still trying to justify/defend your pathetic love of that wretched Clue, are you? Keep trying, Dimples.

What the fuck? Who said Clue was a horrible movie?

(rolls up sleeves)

That movie is gold. If nothing else, it's worth watching for Madeline Kahn's "flames on the side of my face" speech.

Now that movie on that list that is trash: You've Got Mail. I don't have the words to say how much thatt movie sucks.

I've spent a lot of time in Atlanta, but I've still never seen Gone With The Wind. Can someone tell me what's going on in that still? It looks like Scarlett is getting a spanking.

I had Revolutions on in the background while I was cleaning my office last night. I was fast forwarding to get to the action scenes, and still stifling my gag reflex during the dialogue. Truthfully, you could put dramatic music to someone cleaning their gutters, and I would probably get chills. I blame it on too many viewings of Hoosiers when I was younger.

Note to self: create a DVD player that can eliminate only dialogue from action sequences but leave the remaining sound intact.

I actually kind of do like Clue. I just like harassing Sarina more.

Reign of Fire though... never speak those words near me again. NEVER.

Heh. Just to see if we can make that one vein in TK's forehead throb, let's once again talk about how much I looooooove Reign of Fire!

Y'all know the depths of my hatred for that smelly, Tyrannosaur-armed freak Matthew McConaughey. And he gets eaten in Reign of Fire. By a DRAGON. And like, not just eaten normal-style, either. No, he gets eaten whilst leaping through the air, screaming his fool head off, brandishing a battle-axe. Oh, it is most spectacular, my pretties. And if you really think about it, because of The McConaughey's hideous arm deformity, it's almost kind of like a dragon eating a Tyrannosaurus! The awesome-osity could knock your ass over.

Brad pitt in that picture is a cigar in his mouth away from being that weird uncle whose lap you avoided sitting on when you were a little kid.

How did I mis all these shenanigans?!

Well, I'm here to tell you, I love Clueless, and I'm never ashamed of loving bad movies. Hell, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows of my deep and unabashed love for Showgirls, which is in fact one of the worst movies ever made in the history of filmdom.

I wish I could share some other terrible movies I'm not afraid to admit I love, but I'm off to Happy Hour. Adieu!

P.S. Glitter.

P.P.S. Whoever said they tried watching Grey Gardens, the fictionalized version, I suggest trying the original documentary, which is nothing short of amazing.

I am not ashamed to love Clueless. I will shout it from the damned mountain tops. In fact, I loved Clueless so much when I first saw at my friend's house it that I made my parents rent it for me and my mother ended up loving it just as much as I do.

To this day when we are in the car together and come to a stop sign I say, "I totally paused!"

Sarina, I got your back on Reign of Fire. Our awesome TiVo recorded it because of our awesome Christian Bale wishlist. My husband has never seen it, so I think tonight is the night we'll have to fix that. We have pizza and booze. Just the right ingredients needed to laugh uproariously when McConahowthefuckeveryouspellit dies a crunchy death at the business end of a dragon's mouth.

Mr. Lower was known to mutter, "I have a .45 and a shovel and no one will miss you" when meeting my oldest daughter's dates. He still refers to the actor who played Cher's father (Dan Hedaya?)as "a stand up wolf" from an episode of NYPD Blue that he did where he played a guy who thought he was a werewolf.

All right, more nutty Pajibans like me!

Fun stardust fact - I kept the squirtguns from a showing of RHPS that I attended at the student union during college. My husband and I use them to discipline the cats.

Recently I found a hot club -- SeekingTall . c o m -- just for sexy tall gals and guys to find their cupid. Come on, tall singles. Don't miss your love.

In 12th grade, the theater arts teacher showed us Gone With the Wind, probably because it filled up about 17 actual instructional days of lessons. In a totally dark room with no windows. Since my evenings were spent with large amounts of weed in someone's Nissan Maxima, I slept through the whole thing.

When TCM showed it recently, I decided to watch it.

Hell! There's all sorts of sordid shit in that thing! I thought it was some sort of happy Civil War musical! There's RAPE, y'all. Cheating. A SMALL CHILD DIES. Drunken MISERY. Gah! I was so fucking depressed. And the ending? Sucked balls!

Anywho, recently the husband and I decided to watch the first Matrix movie, whatever it's called, in Blu-Ray, because he's a geek and a half. We were both amazed at how incredibly dumb it is now. Who wrote that dialogue? I actually laughed a couple of times.

Clueless is awesome, but it made me feel old the first time I saw it because I realized for the first time that teen movies were no longer directed at me, not even "college" sort of teen movies. But I do love it.

More confessions: Legally Blonde makes me cry. SHUT UP. I HATE that I like that movie, ok? But dammit, it gets me every time when she GRADUATES and GIVES THE SPEECH and even though she's blond and hot, she's also kind and smart and SHE WINS IN THE END! Now I'm weepy again.

Napoleon Dynamite is brilliant.

I weeped tears of joy when I saw Elf in the theater and I've watched it on DVD so often I have ever word memorized and randomly quote it to people.

Night of the Comet. Totally cheesy 80s flick about the end of the world and I LOVE IT.
