Nah Nah

Enough already with the commercials for that fucking "Ya-Ya" movie. I'm sick of seeing Sandra Bullock beating that telephone receiver against the counter, a trait her character apparently shares with the mother she probably wants to be nothing like. Sick of the group of women standing in a circle wearing ridiculous hats, joining hands, raising their arms, and exuberantly chanting a celebratory "Ya-ya!!!"

Give me a break. I can already tell you, without having read the book or without having seen the movie -- and rest assured I will never do either -- that this "chick flick" is going to wind up having some sort of message of "redemption", and that the Sandra Bullock character is going to come to terms not only with her own disapproval of her mother but eventually accept that mother, embrace her, flaws and all, and, in turn, embrace her own.

All this, with the always emetic fake Southern accents.

Ptui. Feh. Kaka. Wretch. Vomit.

Thanks! I'm thrilled (and no, I'm not being fah ... fah ... facetious) that you like my site. I'm also thrilled that you will not see this #$^%@ (I'm feeling coy) movie. I'm kind of disappointed because someone I actually *like* (someone who hasn't even visited my site [damn her]) asked me yesterday if I've read the book, exclaiming, "It's so good!!" I thought I was going to have to hate her. Next thing you know she's going to tell me she murdered a puppy. And then all bets are off.

I saw a little bit of that on Oprah last week, and wanted to hang myself.
