I needed that

Again my life was lost last night, 95 minutes this time. We watched My Super Ex-Girlfriend. I must explain that we now have 6 free months of every movie channel on the planet so we happen upon junk like this and keep watching. The cast was remarkably good and must have been reading a different script when they agreed to do this movie, Luke Wilson, Rainn Wilson [are they brothers, I think maybe], Eddie Izzard, Uma Thurman [why did her mom name her uma?] and Wanda Sykes. Oh and Mark Consuelos [Kelly Riiipppa!] starred as a totally dense underwear model.

Memorable Quotes from a horrible movie:

Rainn Wilson: Oh, no no. Don't tell me. You have invaded the female nation and spread your democracy.

Rainn Wilson: There are 3 moments I'll remember 'til the day I die. 1: the look on my father's face when I graduated from Harvard law school. 2: Helping a beached mother whale give birth. And... 3: You and me, together, here, tonight.
Shapely Bartender: Don't speak to me again... ever.
[this is seriously her name in the movie - BTW]

Luke Wilson: If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Rainn Wilson: The ability to gratify myself orally.
Luke Wilson: Interesting. But wouldn't that be a little...
Together: Gay.
Rainn Wilson: No.
Luke Wilson: Yeah.
Rainn Wilson: Not at all. Think about it.
Luke Wilson: Really? It seems that way.

**If I could have a super power it would be speed reading. Clarification: this would be speed reading with FULL memory and comprehension of the spead read material. Barnes and Noble would be so pissed at me!**


Oh and one more tip... don't have sex with a superhero on your bed - do it on the floor [and don't do it in outer space - it didn't look fun].

OK, I've seen this movie. And at the end I remember being completely pissed about the fact that this super awesome super hero (heh) got dumped by schlubby Luke Wilson and then went batshit crazy FOR NO REASON. Anyway. I was disappointed because I love both Luke and Rainn. Isn't Eddie Izzard in it, too? What a waste.
