Freaky Friday

There was nothing on TV this weekend and as I was flipping channels I came across Freaky Friday starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsey Lohan.

Why is God's name should I watch this? I've heard people say it was good, but GOOD good? SHUT UP! I KNOW! How is that possible?


So, I watched it.


and I watched it.


and I didn't hate it.



Jamie Lee Curtis is funny. Lindsay Lohan isn't slutty and a mess yet, so she's rather becoming. Especially when she becomes the mom and has to go to a formal affair, I gotta tell you: she looks simply divine.

Mark Harmon was great as the dad, but I SO wish Stephen Collins would have been booked instead, but I guess HE didn't have to work! (Oh no I didn't! YES I DID!!!) Chad Michael Murray was kind of ridiculous as the love interest, but he's pretty so I guess that's all that matters... at least that's what society tells me... (Oh no I didn't! OH YES I DID!) The ladies who own/run the Chinese restaurant are funny. Not like BAD funny, more like I actually laughed out loud at a few things they said funny.

All I know, is that before I knew it I was crying while Jamie Lee was playing for Lindsay at The House Of Blues while Jamie Lee's character was still stuck in Lindsay's character's body.

That's right, I just cried watching Freaky Friday.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD?

Spring Awakening

Went and saw Spring Awakening last night and walked out.

SHUT UP! I KNOW!

This is the third Broadway show I have walked out of in my life.

The first was when my friend and I went to see Uncle Tom's Cabin (because his client was in it) and me being the show "aficionado" waited until Topsy died (because that's what happens in the 10 min version of Small House of Uncle Thomas during The King and I ) and then we walked out.

...turns out there were TWO more acts!!!! SHUT UP! I KNOW X 2!!!!

But I got to tell you, it was the worst show ever, regardless of WHOS cabin it was, so it's okay.


THEN I saw The Producers a couple of months ago, which was SO awful. (No it wasn't original cast, but it WAS a knock-off of an understudy of a replacement! (In other words: garbage)

and now Spring Awakening.


Honestly, I DO believe I have learned to lower my expectations over the years for things people rave about. (and this show EVERYONE has raved about) but frankly, it's Rent costumed by the same people who did that movie Witness (where the hell IS Kelly McGillis) featuring multiple songs from Hedwig and The Angry Inch starring the vocal styling of pretentious American Idol cast-offs performed by the amatuer future has-beens from the next revival of Annie.

I swear.

Now, I'm not gonna go on and on trashing it because...well...I have to go to work and this could take all day and I'm sure people are gonna disagree (after all kids were screaming (thankfully it subsided/they got a clue) after the first few numbers which included such top chart toppers (not) as: You Are My Bruise and Life's a Bitch), but I gotta tell you: "A" There were more flat notes belted than when Jennifer Paz hit LA with Miss Saigon and "B" the Act One Finale was a guy finger-banging a girl on an over sized porch swing then pulling down his pants to have sex with her while his ass jiggled in yellow lights during some semi-ballad called: "Say Hi Men To My Hymen".
