It is criminal that "Please, Mr Kennedy" is ineligible for an Oscar nomination ( [link] ). Whatever you think of the song itself, or novelty songs in general, it was pitch perfect for that scene.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, this looks like a Manic Pixie Dream Girl movie, but on the other hand it has Fran Kranz, Dichen Lachman, Felicia Day, Miracle Laurie, and HELL YES Enver Gjokaj! [link]
I want to believe it isn't as MPDG as it seems.

The blue wig is a dead giveaway for MPDG-ness. And Kranz' character is, frankly, the guy I really dislike in most movies.
I think I'm over Some Kind of Wonderful; at 16 it was adorable, but now it doesn't work for me anymore...

And crazy dancing around. And the "help me/teach me" aspect.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Given it was filmed (at my friend's house) a million years ago (or 2?) I wouldn't have high hopes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
John Dies at the End
That was such a good movie! I was surprised.

It was fun, but they gutted the book.

Of course. Well, lucky for me I hadn't read the book.
