Last night I had takeout pizza with Madness Librarian Friend (by the way, his name comes from the music group Madness), and then we watched Coyote Ugly. "Now tell me how I can help you, please, because I am dying to make YOUR dreams come true." Uh, yeah. I mean, it was pretty bad, though parts of it were good bad. The bar-owner was sorta hot and SO dykey, but what the hell was that bar doing in the middle of New York City? I thought based on the premise it would be some roadhouse place. Or at least an L.A. bar. About 5 times during the movie I busted out with "the following scene was filmed before the tragic events that occurred in NYC", mostly because there were so many silly caricatures about the whole "new girl in the city". For some reason, I even predicted she would hide her money in the freezer.

And what was up with the random cameos? Ellen Cleghorne, Alex Borstein, Alanis Morissette, Bud Cort (aka Harold from Harold and Maude), John Fugelsang (ex-VH1 VJ) and LeAnn Rimes? That final scene with Leann was such her pre-Britney "I'm not a girl not yet a woman" statement. I can't believe I just said that. I have too much pop culture in my brain apparantly.

Jerry Bruckheimer. Now there's a man who should be forced into early retirement.

I'm starving right now, but I'll wait for Sparky to come over and we can have a picnic lunch in our office conference room.
