If you’re afraid to watch the movie because you don’t know about roller derby don’t worry.  They explain everything.  And they even give you little reminders throughout the movie.

We didn’t have any guys with us so I can’t say if the average guy would like this movie but all of us girls loved it.  Get your girlfriends together and go see Whip It this weekend.  Anyone catch it already?

Whip It is in theaters now.

In this clip, which I hope you watched Lois is talking about the way we react to technology that is really helping us but we’re too caught up in ourselves to notice the beauty of it.  All I know is every time I’m out of the house and I’m waiting in line or waiting for my kid to get out of school or at the dentist or whatever I want internet connection.  It is not an option for me actually read a magazine or just sit and wait.  Gosh darnit if I can’t use facebook or Google Reader I get royally pissed off.  How ridiculous is that.  I feel so entitled to internet access that it more often than not puts me in a bad mood.  Heaven forbid I bring a book with me.

And when I do get internet access if it’s not screaming fast it’s like an affront to me personally.  I can’t believe I have to wait one minute for facebook to load.  One minute when I could have been checking profiles or changing my status.  How hilarious is it when Loius says “It’s going to space!”  Hilarious.  I don’t care how far my signal has to travel as long as it comes back so fast I don’t even realize it’s gone.  Not any more though now I think about Lois’s sketch and crack up.

If you haven’t checked it out yet please do.  It’s great.

I also noticed he’s going to be in a movie coming up called The Invention of Lying which looks so funny.  Especially since it’s got Ricky Gervais from Britain’s The Office.

So tell me have you guys known about Louis C.K. this whole time and no one ever told me?

I also love a look at the vampires. Can’t wait to see them on the big screen.

What do you guys think.  Can’t believe how Lauter filled out?  Neither can I.

Even though this movie got some bad press I’m a sucker for a Summer Blockbuster so last night Scott and I went to see it.   I had some problems with it but overall enjoyed it.  Here’s my late review.

There were some parts of this movie that didn’t pan out for me like the back story on Cobra Commander.  I just didn’t buy it.  I also didn’t believe the back story on the Baroness.  With both of these stories the characters went from totally normal good guys to psychopathic bad guys in two seconds.  Maybe there just wasn’t enough time to show the transition, I don’t know but I didn’t buy it.

And you know there’s always romance in the movie?  Well the romance in this movie bit it big time.  There’s one love story kind of on the side that works just fine but the Baroness…  I don’t even know what to say.  I’m shocked.  Without giving anything away, I guess that’s all I’ll say.  I just don’t understand why they did what they did considering they’re probably going to try to make more movies.  Just don’t get it. (If you’ve seen the movie let’s have a discussion in the comments.  I would love to hear your take on this.)

And they killed a really great character.  Again, what about the next movie?

Now it sounds like I didn’t like the movie, but I did.  The aircraft, the underwater craft, the accelerator suits, the weapons.  Really, really fun.  There were tons of explosions and the Eiffel Tower falls down.  The whole world is in danger and the Joe’s save them all.  Go Joe!

Some of my favorite scenes were with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow as children.  Their backstory I totally bought and completely enjoyed.

The 3D in the movie sucked but again, I liked the movie.  I wanted a summer blockbuster and that’s exactly what I got.  Totally enjoyable.  Great popcorn movie. It’s not going in my DVD collection but definitely one of those that you’ll enjoy on the big screen.  Have any of your husbands dragged you to see it?  Or have any of you gone willingly?

G.I. Joe is currently in theaters.

Adam’s first stop is at Hash House A Go Go. He affectionately refers to this morning hot spot as the place “where Willy Wonka eats breakfast”.  Adam is here to try their famous fried chicken eggs benedict. You have to see it to believe it.

Next up Adam hits Hot N Juicy Crawfish where the secret sauce keeps the restaurant busy and the diners full. Crawfish in the landlocked Sin City? Yep! They fly in fresh crawfish from Louisiana every morning.  Also, is there a wedding in Adam’s future?

For the main challenge, Adam heads over to NASCAR Cafe where he takes on the Big Badass Burrito: a 2 foot long, 6 pound mammoth of a burrito with all the fixins. 140 people have battled this beast, but only 2 have succeeded. Adam has 90 minutes to chow down. What’s at stake? If he wins –> unlimited rides for life on their speed roller coaster. If he loses –> he has to wear a pink shirt with “Certified Weenie” on the front. Will he be able to finish in time?

Man v Food is on Wednesdays at 10pm on the Travel Channel

The clip introduces the show really well and I know it’s a little long (four minutes) but I am telling you it is worth it.  I’m just mad because it’s on on Thursday  night and EVERYTHING seems to be on Thursday night.  I only have three stations I can record at a time.  What am I supposed to do?  This is definitely on my radar though for a great new show.  I can’t wait to see what becomes of it.

Community will premiere Thursday, September 17th at 9:30pm on NBC.

I don’t mean to sound like a broken record but I can’t wait for this movie to come out in October.  This is the second trailer.  It looks amazing.  The Wild Things are absolutely stunning.  What do you think?

I know I am the only contributor to this blog that likes Buffy the Vampire Slayer but I’m holding out hope that there’s at least one reader who is going to enjoy this clip.  I love it because I honest to goodness wondered what would happen if Buffy met Edward (Twilight).  I’m not even joking.  I think I devoted a whole half hour to different scenarios.  Would she fall in love with him like she fell in love with Angel or what?  I can totally picture this happening.  My friend Kathy sent this over to me on Facebook and I just had to share.

In case you guys are wondering you can get all the seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Netflix.  My favorite show of all time.  Check it out if you’re curious.  And also, just to prove what a Buffy geek I am… I have the comics and currently read them.  That’s right.  I’m a grown woman with kids reading vampire comics and I love it!

Is this how you pictured Buffy and Edward going down?  I had always hoped there would be some middle ground but I’m thoroughly entertained by this version.  What do you think?

Enjoy this commercial spoof of Jon from J&K+8.

The movie looks absolutely incredible.  I am in awe at the puppet wild things.  They really look like they are having fun and being wild.  Max’s wolf suit is perfection.  My guess is we’re going to see a lot of those this Halloween.  I cannot wait for this movie to come out.  It looks magical.

So, what do you think?  Looks good, right?

I don’t have a lot to say, because there’s more of Hollywood to come… but I can’t believe Bikini girl (Katrina Darrell, pictured) has made it through again! I don’t know what Simon and Randy are doing. She seriously is not good enough! I will be truly upset if she makes it to the top 36.

Some of my favorites are David Osmond, Joanna Pacitti (who they didn’t show at all, so I don’t know if she made it), and Scott MacIntyre (the guy who’s blind).

Group auditions are tonight! 8pm PST on Fox.

Oh Angela, Angela, Angela… I don’t know what to say about that girl.  She has to be the biggest hypocrite ever!  The entire time watching this episode, I wondered why Andy and Dwight were fighting over her.  She was the one who was toying with both of their hearts.  I did feel a little sorry for her that all her dirty laundry was being aired in front of everyone, but I was so glad when D and A both realized that they weren’t the enemy.

And Michael- he is so clueless, and yet comes through at just the right times. (Usually without knowing it.) And I love how even he recognized the fact that sometimes he starts a sentence and doesn’t know where it’s going – “like an improv conversation!”

My favorite moment: Oscar on the verge of tears when he realizes that Dwight and Angela had sex on his desk.

My favorite one-liner: Kelly to Angela regarding D and A fighting over her: “I guess people have fewer choices as they get older.”

Sorry guys- I just love playing around on Jib Jab. This one seriously brought tears to my eyes I laughed so hard. If anyone is interested in sending me a photo to get in on our fun, go to our “contact us” link and email me a photo of (just) your head. I’ll include you as an elf and post it here. Loves!

Laura, Julianne and I are planning to see the matinee Saturday, Nov 22nd if you’re in the area and would like to join us.  Just drop us a line and we’ll let you know which theater and showing we’re hitting.  We’re trying to avoid the screaming girls.  We got enough of that at the Breaking Dawn Concert.  Enough for a lifetime.  Believe me, it was loud.

Thanks Collette for the heads up on the trailer.  Obviously I found it on YouTube.  Sometimes I can be so dense.  It was sitting in front of me the whole time.
