Jane Fonda is my grandmother

Yes, it's true. For those of you who don't know- I adopt her sometimes. Those sometimes conditions are when I watch Monster in Law. Indeed, it is Saturday night and I'm sipping some wine and found this on the ole' tube. Some may pshaw to chick flicks, and yes, I used to be you. But I have come to appreciate the lovely comedic value to romantic comedies. When done well they supply a breath of fresh air and some good laughs. In Monster in Law, this is truly Jane's movie- you forget that J-lo is even in the film. Jane steals every inch of screen- so much that I had to google to see if she had done any other film recently. Sorry to say, unless otherwise forced, I refuse to see the one with Lohan. She - what can I say.
Her character in this movie does have some fanatical ways about her that do remind me a bit of my grandmother, but in a good way. The way she just jumps off screen makes me love her and want to know her. Which is why I adopt her when I watch this movie. Her maniacal laughter and devious ways delight my eye. I sooooooo want her to make more like this. Of course Wanda Sykes is perrrrrrrrrrfect as her assistant to all of her evil plotting in the attempted undoing of J-lo. I should mention the fabulous eye candy Michael Vartan is the male in this movie. I like looking at him so much I wish that he were more than one dimensional onscreen so he would have more roles. Sigh. If I had to pick, I think my favorite moment in this movie is when Fonda's character Viola Fields, daytime talk show host, interviews a Brittney-ish girl who is wearing pasties- when girl admits to thinking Roe V. Wade is a boxing match Fonda launches herself on the little idiot girl. And Sykes response? "You all better get that little girl outta there!"

Halloween

Since I was prompted- why not.

I had a rather quiet Halloween this year- no parties, costumes, or trick or treaters. I wasn't really into it this year, which may explain why I didn't realize Wal Mart would be a mecca the day after.
Let me lead you to a visual- ever see WALL-E? The humans in Pixar's future are depicted as grossly overweight people propelled around on lounge chairs instead of walking. So picture lots of these folk, zooming around (on foot also) Wal Mart, buying en masse, not decor, but candy.
We're talking GROCERY shopping for candy. I mean a WHOLE FREAKIN' SHOPPING cart full of twix.
Now I admit, I am not the healthiest of people, and I do have a horrible sweet tooth, but looking at how much these people were hoarding really made me never want to buy candy again.
I had people pushing each other in the candy areas, yelling, directing spouses, and the creme de la creme- "it was $2.50 yesterday, it's only a dollar today!!!!!!"
I was there for yarn which I never found.
