It's only a matter of time now before we get the "Birth of a Nation" episode with special guest Milo Yiannopolis (and if I misspelled his name, it's only because I don't even want to Google it).

I'll say The Wraith just because I looked like I was 25 years old when I was a freshman.

"SELFISHNESS" is the only word that describes Dolly's desire to not be naked on camera. But really, who would ever want to compete with this:

There wasn't any music at my wedding because I was in charge of the music and was going just set up a playlist and save myself the DJ, and then I knocked my computer off the damn table the day before :/ So, any of these songs would be an improvement, I guess. If I ever have another wedding, I'll be coming to this board in search of business cards ... any caterers here, perchance?

First, thanks for the invite, CakeBug! Second, I've never seen this movie, and I don't generally dig on musicals, but I got love for Dolly, and she's pretty smoking hot in that movie poster. Third, has anyone ever seen the episode of The Venture Bros where Dr. Venture thinks that Whorehouse is a porn?

Hammer definitely hurt a few folks during his Funky Headhunter days ...

Something, something ... "You died in a cholera mirage" ... meh, I lost it.

It's gotta be stressful, having a Bubbie who is constantly tripping balls on magic chocolates.

Well, that would explain the mariachi band!

Even if Bubbie is totally hooked on chocolate, just ... go to the goddamn store? This is like Mark from The Room sneaking up to his weed stash on the roof and hiding out like a teenager. It's like, dude, you're both adults ... just buy your meth chocolate with your own money and smoke your brickwall weed in your apartment!

Actually, now, I think it was never aliens. I think Meredith herself may be a demon. It explains sycasey's observation about Meredith's odd telekinetic control over the food fight. It also explains why Dimly is completely powerless against Meredith. I think that "telling mom" is Dimly shorthand for "sending you into a flaming hellscape," where her mother (perhaps Abaddon) reigns supreme. And in that case, it's not a stretch to assume that she might have the power to foresee that Cloe would catch her mortal boyfriend's eye in high school, and may have proactively sent Cloe's father to hell in an attempt to give her a life-long distraction (i.e. her wreck of a widowed mom). Or maybe Cloe's father was close to discovering the truth anyway, and decided to kill two birds with one stone. In other words, I think we know who Cloe's dad is:

It's too late ... Homeland Security has dossiers on us all by now.

I was more worried that she would have the elephant start picking up Bratz and tossing them into the pool. Could have been a cool moment, where the elephant plays with them like dolls.

I really want this movie to be parody. It's got all the call-signs and archetypal characters. Our four main girls are total Mary Sues. Everything is over-the-top in a way that makes it impossible to take seriously from a story and plot standpoint. Absurd things happen (or don't) just to propel the drama. But it's a kids' movie. And kids just don't get parody because they haven't lived long enough to accumulate enough references to get the joke. It would be foolish to make a kids' movie parody that's also meant for kids (not that the creators of this movie aren't fools). The furthest I'll go is to say, you know how Looney Tunes and Disney movies will throw in a few jokes just for the parents that the creators know are watching with their kids? Yeah, that. Or maybe this is a film version of Poe's Law.

We really are a divided Carry Nation High School ...

Dude ... this movie was like your Slumdog Millionaire moment.

That's a cool video, but did you notice his headphones were laying on the console next to the computer the whole time, instead of wrapped around his neck, like our boy Dylan?

D'OH!!! How'd I let that one get by? Hats off to your airtight Barbie scholarship ... Genius at Work, indeed.

God, I miss The Soup.

Just so happened to see this in my newsfeed this afternoon, so I thought I'd share since it applies to Jade: "The 'Asian Character Hair Streak' Is Real And A Huge Problem"

Totally couldn't. Yasmin could've belched into the mic and Dylan could've felt the vibrations and thought it was a #1 record. I figured he was just flirting with her.

The writers of this movie must be unaware that "Spanish," as in "from Spain," is not the same thing as "Latina," as in "from Latin America, i.e. Mexico and everything south of it." Lots of folks from Spain are blonde like Yasmin, but if she were from Spain, she wouldn't be considered a "Latina" and she probably wouldn't be singing "La Cucaracha" with mariachi accompaniment.

One of the gang asked if a deaf person could be a good DJ using just the sensation of the beats vibrating through the headphones on his neck. I guess I don't really know, but I would think ... maybe? Good DJ-ing is all about matching beats, so as long as Dylan could feel the rhythm, he should be able to beat-match effectively and could probably scratch OK, too. The main issue would be mixing songs that are too different -- if he's unfamiliar with the songs he's trying to beat-match, he might go from a hip-hop song to Tom Jones or whatever. But, if he wasn't born deaf, he should have a catalog of music in his head that's familiar to him; he'd just have to avoid mixing anything that was released after he lost his hearing. I guess that means he wouldn't be able to use any new music, which might cut down on his club appeal, but he could do weddings and things like that, right? I've met a few deaf folks that really enjoy going to metal shows simply because the music is so heavy and loud that they can feel the beat. I have a friend who is an ASL interpreter, and metal shows are a big percentage of the gigs she gets. So, to me, DJ-ing seems doable. Thoughts?
