Holy Lohan's, Batman

I have to admit, even after months of skimming over the Thigh Master's ramblings regarding Lindsay Lohan, I had yet to see any of her actual work. I had the opportunity to watch Freaky Friday on a flight to Paris, but I just couldn't believe that anyone could pull that role off as well as Jodie Foster, so I watched XXX instead (for shame). I mean let's face it, The Accused ain't got nothin on Freaky... But I digress... So, I thought I had better see what this young well endowed freckle face was all about.

So, me and Ms. B went to check out Mean Girls at the new Greater Union Theatre in the Southern Hemisphere's largest shopping center. I had some membership card in the mail, and I thought I might get some free stuff, or something. I kept handing the card to random people, and they kept swiping, but I have no idea what for. It was a bit like being in a Margaret Atwood novel...

They also had assigned seating, which was just plain confusing (especially for us sorry asses who could get lost in our own homes), their was chaos in the snacks area, and there was some kind of cattle processing area where you had to pay for the treats you had already picked up. I was extremely close to panic attack at this point.

The theatre was horrendous, and still seems to in the midst of construction. It's definitely a recurring theme, here in Oz. Nothing ever seems to be finished! Back in the US, things aren't opened until everything is gone over and spit shined, and erected the giant tie in displays. Here, they don't even get the roof on, and they're already selling smoothies.

Mean Girls was a riot. I am a sucker for teen movies, but this one took the cake. I can certainly see the Lohan appeal. She's the kind of girl you want to give a bit of a cuddle... very sweet looking, with a fantastic smile, and other assets. Poor Ms. B. had to keep listening to me mumbling "boobs" over and over in every scene. I was kind of disturbed by Lacey Chabert, who's head hasn't grown since Party of Five. She has this adult, overly tanned, boobs ahoy body, yet still seems like she's about to scream at Baily for turning up to Owen's birthday party drunk as a skunk and in a clown suit.

I also got to check out Dogville on the weekend, Lars Von Trier's film staring Oz' own Nicole Kidman. Lars has stepped away from Dogme 99' for a while and does an almost "Our Town" theme with this one. It was very haunting, as of with all of Von Trier's work, and the whole anachronistic, stage drama feel made the whole thing seem more real. Speaking of Von Trier, can anyone back in the states tell me what is going on with "Kingdom Hospital?" It is credited to Stephen King, but does it have anything to do with Von Trier's kick ass film, "The Kingdom"?

Props are being given out like after dinner scraps, and I am the red headed step child. Blogger superstar Lindsay Lindsayism has dubbed previously mentioned Thigh Master as her new best friend, to which he has exclaimed, "I'm after Lohan, not Ism, Damnit"... while the king of PHC, Uncle Grambo seems to have hetroflexible feelings for the TM, and praised Gijyun for her "ode to alcohol". However, he does not have to suffer the continually alcohol fueled harassment by our little Coloradan Bukowski.

It ain't cheatin' if your in different zip codes, baby!
