i heart ny's tv guide

I seriously love whoever writes the little mini-reviews that accompany some of the movie's listed in the weekly New York Times TV guide - you know, the little two- or three-word deals. For example, take tonight's review of "City of Angels:" "Schmaltz-clogged artistry." Ha! I couldn't have said it better myself.

Not all of them are quite as snarky, but there are always a few gems waiting to be found while perusing the night's television selections. Here are some of the others from this week:

"Beaches" - "Pure soap all the way." (I've never seen this, but from the synopsis on "I Love the 80s," this seems a pretty accurate description)

"Daredevil" - "Tacky, earnest and disposable." (Sort of like Ben Affleck, huh?)

"White Heat" - "Grade-A all the way." (Hehe, even better when it rhymes, even if it is a good review. I think they like the "all the way" phrase too.)

"As Good As It Gets" - "Zinger heaven." (Heh.)

"The Majestic" - "This film mistaken for entertainment." (Ouch.)

"XXX" - "Triple stupid." (Ahahaha, now that's a zinger.)

Oh man. Good stuff.

kelly is psycho

(Not really. I'm just kidding Kelly.)

The following comes from a conversation Kelly and I had about the various bridal dresses on ModernBride.com (don't ask). Kelly sent me the picture linked to below. And here is the following excerpt of the conversation:

Kelly: Ok, I both really like and am horrified by this dress at the same time.
Me: Haha, she looks like whipped cream. And the naked dude in back? The hell is that?
Kelly: That's probably why I like it.
Kelly: Delicious whipped cream.
Me: Hee.
Kelly: Plus delicious naked dudes.
Me: Hahaha... that is seriously one of the weirdest pictures I have ever seen.
Kelly: Haha... gloriously weird.
Me: Oh definitely.
Kelly: I wonder if you try on the gowns, do they supply random naked dudes for you to pose against? You know so you can be sure if the dress really works for you?*
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA

*At this statement, I was laughing so hard I was crying. Kelly, you're hilarious. Seriously.
