Another Miniature Movie Review: Finally caught the third Harry Potter flick. Though all three were amaaazing movies that have probably shaped more childhoods that they’re given credit for (Let’s face it, not everyone reads books.), I still think the second was the best of the lot. The third, I dunno…kinda feels like this particular story read better than it played out onscreen. Don’t want to nitpick since they’re all great movies, and anything that makes me see Robbie Coltrane for more than his cameo role in the Haim-driven Oh, What I Night is a gooood thing.
Another Miniature Movie Review: I take it back: Friday the 13th Part V wasn’t that bad. Definitely not the worst in the series, at least. The Michael Jackson wannabe sharing a duet with his girlfriend while shitting in the outhouse is worth the price of admission alone. “Damn those enchiladas?” Plus, I’m pretty sure that said wannabe’s younger brother was played by none other than “Dudley” of Diff’rent Strokes fame. I’m sure he’d love to be referred to only as “Dudley.” There’s even a Tina Yothers look-a-like with punkish black streaks in her hair who robot dances for like six hours straight before the fake Jason finally wanders in and kills her. These are strong points for a film even devoted F13 fans seem to hate by and large.
Another Miniature Movie Review: The more foreign-based Trekkies 2 wasn’t nearly as fun as the original, but revisiting some of the chief fanatics from the first documentary makes it a worthy watch. Gabe, the mulleted kid from the original, turned out a-okay and was probably an uplifting object for thousands of other nerdy-types wondering if they’d ever get their freak off.

Chestnuts roasted by 
Kidneyboy, after racking my brain (because it sounded familiar to me too) all I can come up with is Sergeant Bilko, the old sitcom/newer movie.
(Traj, I assume you’re leaving Carnivale out of that statement about disabled actors since they just hired the actress with ectrodactyly (lobster claw) syndrome. And I’ve never seen any other show write a dramatic fight scene for a triple amputee either. PS: Hi, how ya been, missed ya tons)
This is a long shot, but if ANYONE has the March issue of Elle magazine you must turn to page 268 right now. Charmies are back! Except now they’re made by Coach and cost between $40 and $50 each. Seriously, they call them "key fobs" and there’s a little heart, a tiny book, a damn slice of watermelon and a beach sandal!! I can totally picture the little toilet hanging there with the rest of them. (I’ll try to scan in the picture since my description doesn’t do it justice and only my fellow X-E bloggers would appreciate it. )
