Chick Flick Flawed

What is up with Hollywood these days? They take a perfectly entertaining and thought provoking piece of Chick lit and turn it into a lackluster, overpriced production piece?!?!?!? For the love of god, tell me why? I thought it was just me being a movie snob and all - but then an old friend sent me a note begging me to rant over the new film; He’s Just Not That Into You. I knew then it wasn’t just me who was disappointed in the $7.50 I paid to get a little girlfriend comfort. There was no comfort, no real understanding. A total let down for the female species especially in contrast to the book which was charming, witty and filled with girl nodding laughs. But the movie relied on stereotypes and flat story telling with cliché jokes and male actors who were hard on the eyes with exception to Bradley Cooper and Ben Afleck.

Observation #4
I am in desperate need of a film critic who will give the real skinny on whether a film is chick worthy! Makes me think I could dedicate an entire blog to chick lit and chick flick. And Hollywood should take note! Stop overlooking us at the box office. Stop serving up remedial content! There are plenty of women worthy topics to create groundbreaking films with. Use them already dam it!

Miss Copy Cat

Remember that annoying girl in school who whenever you found the perfect "pretty"would go out and buy the same perfect pretty?!?!?!!? You were unique, you were one of a kind, with your own little voice, and unique stamp on the universe. Until BAM-Miss Copy Cat comes in the next day with the same pretty!@#@!#!@#@! This happens so much that there is actually a silent rule among women. That rule is simple, if you like what I purchased so much, (and it is distinct and recognizable) a real friend asks if she can buy it before actually buying it. That's the rule. Plain and simple! You don't steal another persons giggles of pleasure and pretend their your own. So Miss Copy Cat, get your own "pretty" -don't steal mine 'cause you can't muster up the courage to find one all your own!

Observation #3 The Copy Cat Is Stray
There is only one reason to mimic or copy and that is because you get lost. you forget who you are and the only original idea you have is to copy someoneelse. It's a sad, pathetic existence. I feel for the starving stray cat, hungry for originality, scared to fork over her own opinion and meowing away her days reflecting only what others cats have to say. Purr to your own tune Miss Copy Cat!

Breaking Up With Morning Lover

There comes a time in every relationship when forgiving, forgetting and overlooking ones flaws gets to be well- frankly really exhausting. Every morning I visit the Starbucks right off Stratford Road in Winston. I'm generally a Grande Americano with Room for Cream. The only I time I don't entertain my Starbucks love affair on Stratford is when I run the morning carpool. Those days I visit the Starbucks on Jonestown Road, and there I generally add a chocolate doughnut and a kids milk for smarty pants in the back seat.  (AKA as Monkey and Little C to some!)  But today, dear Starbucks on Stratford Road- I'm breaking up with you. Your lines are too long. (15 minutes for a coffee?!?!?!?!?!!?) Your store front too small and parking is becoming as annoying as finding a spot at Roosevelt Field Mall! Over it! Over you! Oh- and you should know that there is a much better morning lover . . . his name: BREW NERDS. And the best part is I don't need a VIP Gold Card to make me smile, they do it whether I am VIP or not! 

Observation #2: Size Does Matter

And sometimes when your so large, your big head gets in the way of remembering what's important! Go back to making coffee and keep your friends by staffing up in the morning!

Observation Number 1: Friends are often full of shit!
I have asked 6 close friends to help me design a logo so that everyone could embrace the spirit of Disgruntled Peeps. Each of them -in thier own "special" way said, "Sure, I can do that. let me think on it a bit." But all of these good friends, despite their good intentions are cleary full of shit! (you know who you are. you know i love you. But COME ON!!!!!! Smooches to all of you -really!!!)
