I've really been struggling to get through
Blonde Ambition, because it is really as bad as the box office numbers say. You'd think (or not) that
Andy Dick,
Jessica Simpson, and
Luke Wilson could carry a movie about a small town girl getting in over her head as an Executive Assistant at a major company (AKA: My cinematic biography), but man, this movie sucks. I have about an hour to go and I don't know if I can finish it.
I got to thinking about what could possibly be worse than this legally rotten nugget of foul smelling funion and I came up with this!
PAC-MAN: THE MOVIE (2009, because it'll take me a while to get Pac-Man Jones to do a cameo)

Picture this, but BIGGER!![/center]

Premise: Pac-Man (
Seth Green) is a regular, good-natured, hilarious guy with an eating problem. He works a 9 to 5 at the post office, in the sorting area behind the counter. He's a good intentioned guy, but he has a problem. HE NEVER GETS FULL. [/left]

Hey guys, want to get lunch?[/center]
[left]Living in the posh neighborhood of Beverly Hills, none of his model-esque and red meat hating post office co-workers want to keep going to Mr. Yan's Chinese Buffet (
Jackie Chan) or Shakey's Pizza Parlor, despite the hot waitress with ample cleavage named Lindsay, who treats him kindly and provides him with plenty of awkward ("How do you like your pie?", "I always want seconds.", "My buffet can stay open for you after hours.") sexual references (played by
Jennifer Love Hewitt, to reunite her with Chan from The Tuxedo). [/left]

Kind of like this, but in restaurants.[/center]
[left]Pac-Man is down on his luck. Sad. Depressed. Lonely at lunch and his dot matrix face is on the windows of many a restaurant saying "DO NOT LET HIM IN." Tired of the demerits he's been getting at work for eating the occasional package filled with cookies from grandma. Until.... GHOSTS INVADE BEVERLY HILLS!!! [/left]

[/center]
[center]
Blinky (John Cusack), Pinky (Rachel McAdams), Inky (Billy Bob Thornton), Clyde (Carrot Top)[/center]
[left]Through a twist of fate in a weird dream filled with Levitra and Oreo product placements, Pac-Man realizes that if he eats a jar full of Pace Picante Sauce (label facing the camera, affectionately known as Power Pellets) HE CAN EAT THE GHOSTS (who hate tomato products) AND SAVE THE CITY!!!! [/left]
He dons THIS COSTUME:

In a twist between Google Earth and this:[/left]

Accompanied by music from Journey.[/center]
[left]Pac-Man chases the ghosts around Rodeo Drive (cameo by Kim Kardashian), Santa Monica Blvd. (cameo by Mischa Barton), Robertson Blvd. (cameo by Perez Hilton and
Lindsay Lohan), and even Fairfax Avenue (hilarious cameo by Gary Coleman) before they can reach The Grove shopping center and holiday shoppers (this is a holiday flick).[/left]
[center]

[/center]
[center]
OMG, there's like ghosts here.[/center]
[left]While all this is going on, Pac-Man must figure out if he's ok with having his estranged wife (
Scarlett Johansson) join in on the crime fighting (she does, and looks hot in her costume). Ms. Pac-Man needs to figure out if she's ok with Pac-Man spending so much time at the pizza parlor with Lindsay. Pac-Man is torn between his three loves - Lindsay, Ms. Pac-Man, and Pizza in a slapstick action-comedy experience that only director Michael Bay could provide. [/left]

That fool changed his name AGAIN? Puff Daddy Dad has more names than my genitalia.

I don't know what this means, and I'm reluctant to find out.

If it makes you feel better, I returned Letter's to Iwo Jima without watching it.
I hope James Marsden gets the girl. He never gets the girl.

Zelda, that actually does make me a feel a lot better. I can play on medium on GH3 now. It's not pretty, but I can survive!

Trading Places is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I'm really upset that you returned it without seeing it...
of all movies to receive the DC Stamp of Disapproval!
I vow not to continue reading your journal until you submit yourself to an early 80's Eddie Murphy comedy.

Haha, not disapproval, just sleepiness.
To win you back, it'll be my next rental after I watch Empire Records!

Do do do do put Trading Places back on your list DC. It is 80s comedy canon fodder.
I have two coincidences to report.
Coincidence Number 1: I have just finished watching a film that I once returned without watching - Hard Candy. I wasn't in the mood for it at the time. Having watched it I am a little traumatised but very glad I did. If I was American I would also be traumatized.
Coincidence Number 2 - I watched this film directly after cleaning my flat after a plumbing disaster of my own.
Do you think we are living cross-hemisphere parallel lives? OK, maybe not quite but still...
