Proposition Cleo all you want, Anthony, she still thinks of me.

Taken before the guys had the Mexicanification surgery completed, this photo shows Senor Bueno in their early, early days. Now successful Mexican wrestlers and improvisers, you are no longer allowed to see their real faces.

Have you ever noticed that in any teen movie, whenever the girls make over either a) the nerdy guy who they will one day make popular, b) the nerdy girl who they will one day make popular, or c) each other (because they are depressed and shopping will always cheer a girl up), they always go on a montage shopping trip, in which they have seemingly limitless resources. Where do these high school girls get their money?

Why is the person being made over (in options a and b above) always pretty distinctively attractive before the make-over, and, while still attractive afterwards, somehow less attractive due to their newfound homogeneity? (Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries being the one exception I can think of.)

Also, when movie high schoolers attend a basketball or football game, the stands are always packed, and everyone is wearing the school’s colors. I went to three high schools, and attended at least one sporting function at each of them, and most of the time, the stands were half-empty and the visiting team brought almost as many people as my high school did.

Whose version of high school is this?

I want to see A Very Long Engagement. It looks delightful, like Amelie.

I don’t much care for sweets, but if you can find one of these with a Linux flavor, I’m interested. (Peep that mouse!)
