we make holes in teeth

as the TSA is slowly relaxing their anti-liquid anti-gel agenda, while lipstick is now ok to bring on planes (take that, terrorist! try as you might, you cannot stop the immense power of far east fuschia maybelline moisture extreme lipcolor!) i note that toothpaste is still verboten. how are we supposed to advance as a society if we can’t take care of our pearly whites? surely this is how the british empire fell from grace— soon we will be likewise accursed with ungainly teeth and the remnants of a ottering empire, our only legacy being chinese offshoots of csi:shanghai. IF WE CAN’T USE TOOTHPASTE, THEN THE CAVITY CREEPS WILL HAVE WON!

ah well, to take our mind off of these disturbing trends in our near future, hmc and i took in two movies this weekend:

monster house was pretty great. yes, it’s a kid’s movie about a house that’s, uh, a monster, and eats kids. but it’s a lot of fun, and has good motion capture performances by steve buscemi, maggie gyllenhaal, and excellent (virtual?) cameos by jason lee, kevin james, and especially jon heder (napoleon dynamite. cc are you hearing me?). it’s a kid’s movie, but it’s a little scary, so don’t take your wee wee ones, maybe just one wee. hmc worked on this, and knew the plot and the scary parts, and so when she saw all these little tots coming into the theatre, she was distressed as she knew it might be too intense for them. and true enough, there were a couple of little kids who ended up crying not 15 minutes in and had to be led away to see something less distressing. like an inconvenient truth. just kidding. anyway, if you want a fun movie, i recommend it, especially if you can see it in 3d, which looks GREAT.

speaking of GREAT, we also saw little miss sunshine. i’ll leave the specific ravings to cc, but i agree with her completely. this was absolutely FANTASTIC and great and hilarious and everything else. i laughed until i cried. or did i cry until i laugh? hmc and i loved it, and we don’t love anything because everything sucks. go see it now.

NOW.
