Movie Review: Little Miss Sunshine


"I got no reason to lie to you son. I'm serious, fuck alot of women. Alot of different women."

Steve bailed on me last night (sick again) so I went straight to Scarecrow to get some movies then on to Whole Foods for a slice of pepperoni pizza.
I'm standing in line and a guy in front of me (sixtyish ex hippie type) starts up a conversation about my choices. Just the fact that he would try to talk to me shows he has no situational awareness. But the line was moving fast and I knew it would be over soon so I didn't pull out the big rude guns. He did have time to offer up this gem.
"You know it won an award."
"Yes, that what pushed me over the edge to get it."
"It's great. You know what it has to say, what it has to teach us? That everyone is a little fucked up in their own way, you know. But it's ok!"
[To myself] "Wow, that's deep. Glad you could impart that wisdom. Took you sixty fucking years to learn that?"
Had the SV staff not come up at this point and taken the boxes from me I would have pt LMS back just to spite him. Glad I didn't. Until it started unraveling at the end I really liked being on the bus... the bus about to run into a brick house.

Felt the same way, pretty entertaining until the end.
