Grease and Grease 2 sort of were oppo-trope. I mean, the goody-two-shoes kid had to don black leather to get the girl/guy and win.
Sandy could have dressed in sackcloth and as long as she sang "You're the One that I Want" like that she still would have gotten the guy.
You know, the first few times, I was really moved by the "Hallelujah" montages...they just went to the well so often, I'd not be surprised if it's a soap commercial now.
I actually kind of liked the makeover in "Clueless" though.
Movie Title Oddity: Currently there are four separate movies playing in San Francisco with the numeral "9" in the title: 9, District 9, $9.99, Cloud 9.
We're nine-ish.
If only they can hold out till
Nine
is released.

Pfft. That's not the
numeral
9.

RIP, Henry Gibson.
I'll need to have memorial screenings of Nashville, The Long Goodbye and The Blues Brothers, methinks.
We must be doing something right to last two-hundred years!
Saw The Informant! last night, and liked it a LOT.
The story could have so easily been done as a cookie-cutter corporate intrigue drama, but Soderbergh plays it as a smart goofy romp instead, and the pacing is just about as perfect as any movie I've ever seen.
The tone reminded me of Burn After Reading and the pacing reminded me of The Spanish Prisoner. Things are revealed in exactly the right order and at exactly the right time. Highly recommend!
Good to know Jessica, thanks. Mr. Jane and I were thinking about going to see that.
We really need to see It Might Get Loud.
Oh, also? Yesterday as I'm checking stuff on our site, I come across this [link]
No. Really.
