I am trying an experiment. This week, I have watched/will be watching JUST FRIENDS every single night. Next Monday, I will report my findings to the question "Is Anna Faris still the funniest human being on the face of the planet, Pauly Shore aside?" I'm thinking she will be. The bad news is, my friends and family are falling victim to my new obsession. My parents and the Designated Driver were forced to sit through the movie Sunday night (by the end, whenever Anna appeared onscreen, my dad would fall out of his chair, roaring with laughter, before she'd even said anything), the Honeybee arrived early for Writers' Group last night to find me vacuuming, putting out chocolate doughnuts, and singing "Love From Afar," and Cliffhanger is coming over tonight because she has never seen the film and fears, what with my one track mind/beating a dead horse mentality, that we will have nothing to talk about if she doesn't partake of its hilarious goodness. I'm seriously debating calling up Oscar Nom and asking if he's opposed to getting takeout for dinner tomorrow night...
Because of my love for Ryan Reynolds (who should marry me so I don't have to get a new name), I, too, have watched the movie numerous times. Yeah, it's humor on par with Van Wilder and Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. I, obviously, am not an inferior person for thinking this type of humor is wake-up-the-sleeping-chick-next-to-you funny. If M.A. thinks it's funny, then by God, it is.
P.S. I just watched Harold and Kumar on Saturday for the first time. I wish I had that "boy" knack for remembering the funniest lines of the movie, repeating them ad nauseum for a week, and still being able to find it funny. However, my memory is shit.
