Troop Beverly Hills is a THANK GOD this got made film. 7 year old me straight up refused to return to Girl Scouts because it was not enough like TBH. Nary a Fashion show or Freddie dance break to be found. Also we were too young to sell cookies and I was all about getting access to those Thin Mints ( I still am and all my friends children know this. )

Yes! Then we must beseech the gang to see it!

I have a soft spot for Center Stage, too. But boy howdy they definitely cast dancers and NOT actors. Serenity (2019). Matthew McConaughey apparently gives no fucks anymore.

"According to my lower back tattoo" might be the greatest opening line since "I'm pregnant!" PYOW PYOW!

He doesn’t score Conan? id say the boys patience is running pretty thin and they’ve all but moved on at this point, preferring to interact with the talented Jordan. But what happens when Kevin is unable to secure Conan as a guest like he’s promised time and time again... sweep him back to boy on the street gigs fir improve4humans? Is his career in Hollywood completely over? Will he be operating duck boats at the Wisconsin dells this summer? should be interesting

My takeaway: I need to see 13 Ghosts

Yes The Haunting is terrible but not quite as fun-terrible as 13 Ghosts?

It also stars Shannon Elizabeth and Matthew Lilliard ... A Must Watch !

I just watched this for the second time yesterday and I still also have questions! In Red's monologue, I think she said that she (Red) understood that humans were experimenting and found a way to copy the body but not the soul (hence the tethers) and the idea was that they were going to use those underground to control things above ground, but that the experiment went awry and was abandoned. The tethered, then were left "for generations" and just fended for themselves down there, I guess? I don't think that everyone had tethers, but they had reproduced enough to apparently do a Hands Across America redo. Red says that she and Adelaide were born special, and they were brought together by God the night of the switch. Do you think young Red was able to control young Adelaide, and that's how she affected the switch in the hall of mirrors? Then she would obviously still control her from underground, but new/adult Red had the soul and was able to lead the others into an uprising, because she would be the only one who knew of the upper world, and of course Hands Across America. (new question, how does she lead an uprising if she's tethered?). Also, I'm still not sure what actually happened with the dance they talked about? There seemed to have been some big miraculous Godly intervention, but it wasn't clear to me what it was. Last question (for now) - Did adult Adelaide know she was from the underground the whole movie? I think she did, and it made the second watch more interesting. Lupita's performance is just absolutely beyond. She's terrifying as Red. This whole thing was gold! But yes, QUESTIONS!

OMG, Don't Tell Her It's Me! I love that movie.

Chaplin talks in The Great Dictator, so the kazoo is definitely not the only time his "voice" has been on film

Okay I'm gonna start off now that I have more time lol. I'm 100% in love with this movie, but I still have questions that I wouldn't have had if Jordan hadn't peppered in just enough information to raise these questions. I get that they are tethered and that everything that happens underground is the result of what the people above ground are doing. However, Red Lupita says they were all created by someone and that the people above ground were just puppets to be controlled. A friend had said he heard in that monologue that it didn't work so the people above ground actually weren't controlled at all, but it still doesn't make a lot of sense to me, especially after reading a couple of articles that address what I had heard (can't remember where I read one but it was titled something like "Us Removes the Idea of Free Will"). My question then is: What the fuck is happening then? I know I heard her say the people above ground were being controlled like puppets, but if their actions are actually controlled by the people below ground then 1. How can they make choices based on things they are not seeing and 2. None of their anger is really then warranted because everything is *their* doing and the above ground people don't even know it. And it's this that made me leave off a full star from my rating because I really thought this was a perfectly creepy movie with some really good comedic moments thrown in (the entire scene with Tim and Winston was slapstick comedy GOLD), but I think the story would have held up much better for me if Jordan had just left it at something like we all have a tether to a double, and that's that. No need for the couple of lines going deeper that only cause more confusion.

I was 11 when that came out and remember even the trailer scaring the shit out of me. Same with the 99 "The Haunting" movie with Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta Jones. Finally saw them both as an adult and wondered how the fuck was I ever scared??? Also wondered how I was able to see The Ring in theaters at that same time and not those two.

You had me at Shalhoub and ghosts

Not the Serenity you’re thinking of I’d wager...

I'm sure that's what the pedestrians are thinking as they get run over.

Beantown Duck Boats have nice names like Symphony Hal and Charlie River

This is all coming together.

Told ya

what if he does score with conan and they end up in a relationship together? ugh, we'd never hear the end of it.

Yep. Dells

i hope he's in the dells. i hear it's the waterpark capital of the world, which is perfect for someone that makes me feel "cold fish," as they say.
