Ah, so you missed Johnny Depp chewed up and spit out by the bed then?
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See, I'm not sure how you could even air a movie like that edited, so I think they must have left all but the most graphic parts out. I think I remember the bed and the blood and all the scratches and whatnot.
Gah! and Larger Gah! Totally worth the effort.
She's wearing a lot of makeup in those pictures. I didn't realize her lips were so...lippy.

You don't like the lippy lips, you hold the belt. It works out fine.

Oh, the lips are fine. They're calling to me.
I never saw The Princess Diaries cause I was kind of morally opposed to yet another "Let's give a pretty girl bad hair and glasses, and then make her pretty again, which will solve all her character's problems, ever!" movie. Though I still haven't seen She's All That, and I want to, because it kicked off the teen movie trend of the last however many years. (Not that teen movies haven't been around forever, but it started a new wave, if I recall.)

Be thankful you weren't a teen when the Porkys movies came out....

It's pretty bad. But Rachel Leigh Cook? Also hot. In a totally more different way. Also, clearly hot even before the change, whereas in Princess Diaries they at least gave her REALLY REALLY REALLY bad hair (a wig, actually) before the switch, so it was less clear.
ETA: Freddie, however, makes my brain hurt. In just about everything he does.
I'd suggest Ella Enchanted before either of the Princess Diaries movies, by the way. It's just better. The PD books are great, though, Mia's voice is hilarious.
She's All That has a great dance scene. And a cool cast list. But I never remember much more. However, it's no (and was preceded by) Can't Hardly Wait.

Yeah, I've also heard Josie and the Pussycats is actually good satire and worth seeing. I think I saw parts on TV one day. Oh, and she was in AntiTrust, which was a horrible movie. With Claire Forlani. I mean, Rachael Leigh Cook and Claire Forlani in the same movie. I had to watch. Even though it gave new meaning to the term "melodramatic."

Preceded, really? That one I have seen, multiple times. Very fun.
Man, Depp in the Bed Blender is a classic moment.
When I had chicken pox, back in 1987, I watched Nightmare on Elm Street and Buckaroo Banzai on a daily basis (they were the only two movies we had in the house on VHS that I was willing to do that with). I have fond memories of both.
(Edited to change the year to the correct one.)
Rachel Leigh Cook will always be the chick who destroyed the kitchen against drugs. I still haven't come to terms with her having a movie career. Luckily she doesn't remind me often.
P-C, Can't Hardly Wait is summer of 98, and She's All That is early 99.
