I've always liked Eliza, and now, with this batch? Seriously.
When did Amanda get so uninteresting? I seem to remember liking her in China.
The Bay City Rollers, now that's music.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I think they probably were really thinking of All About My Mother or maybe Volver but couldn't remember the right title. Either way it made no sense.
Exactly, which is a sign they didn't follow the instructions and find inspiration from one of their favorite movies. Really, the only reason team "Christmas Story" got away with what they did was because Markwise is pretty clever, as hobbits often are. (And MovieAgnostic Ryan actually remembered a scene he really did love, so he got there in the end.)
The challenge was about finding resonance in your heart with something you loved. "Top Secret" is a dumb, fun movie, but I totally believed Stephanie when she said it really was one of her favorites, and she made a bunch of associations, none of which involved anyone in a cow suit, thankfully. But they were there.
It really does appear that, the further away they got from actually caring about what they were paying homage to, the worse they did.
Of course, my favorite movies are "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eight Dimension" and "A Clockwork Orange," so I might have been in some trouble with this one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I KNOW! Half the time I'm really not sure if I'm watching Amanda or Parvati. ALSO speaking of Parvati, these people are supposed to be fans? How idiotic is (the non-speaking fan that is not Alexis) to get with that "alliance" with Parvati? Sweetie, I have a bridge for you.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"A Clockwork Orange,"

See, I'm the sick fuck that would have served a trio of liver dishes (say, a pate, a sauteed fois gras with cherry reduction, and something else) with a fava bean puree and bitter greens. And chianti of course.
Actually, my favorite movie is either Dead Again or any of the Nick and Noras. Or maybe Ferris (fun chicago food, maybe?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
MMaSM: I did think it was interesting that the GQ guys initially thought Perry would be great for a "suit story," but then realized that his shoulders are freakish, not just pleasantly wide.
Which kind of relates to the fact that I kind of appreciated the designer on ANTM who only wanted size 2s -- it's not that she wanted people as skinny as possible, it's that she wanted a specific size. So while Whitney was too big, Fatima was too small. I did think it was nice to send them all to Shoshana, who might actually book Whitney, but how about going all the way, and sending them to a plus-size place that would only book Whitney? Good times.
And back to MMaSM, I laughed and laughed when the GQ guys were talking about Ronnie wondering why he went all Blue Steel when it came time for the polaroid.
