Movies not as good as Little Miss Sunshine....

Even with Cable, my DVD player has been buzzing this snowy week.

Strangers with Candy: A few funny moments but no Little Miss Sunshine.
The Groomsmen: All of Ed Burns movies seem like they are from the same short story collection. This one is no exception. If you liked Brothers McMullen or She's the One or Sidewalks of New York, you will like this one too. I happen to like them.
OH in OHIO: This movie made me long for Sex and the City. It has the racy topics but not the smart, genuine writing. It also lead me to ask, what good movies has Danny DeVito been in? Twins, Throw Momma from the Train, Death to Smoochy?
America Dreamz: I am not sure if I watched American Idol if it would have helped, but I don't think so. This one has potential to be a Drop Dead Gorgeous but it falls very short. The Politicos will especially hate it.
UPDATE: Also note as good as Little Miss Sunshine but funnier than expected: Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby.

Also, for the Xmas Gang.... It appears there are no Colorado Cuddle Parties at this time. (which by the way are not free but are probably a deal compared to other Cults that SNG's bro has been invited to attend.) They do offer Facilitator Training. Interested, DHP?

American dreamzzz was just a snooze to me .. I don't watch Idol either, but it wouldn't have helped, because this supposed "satire" hits none of its targets

The Cuddle Party thing is just flat out weird, especially since it is targeted to adults, seemingly, not teens. Perhaps the cult mentality has appeal these days...seems to be catching on.

“There’s no question that one of the challenges today is how to engage Generation Y, the millennial generation. They are manifestly different from Generation X, my generation. They’re much more optimistic and entrepreneurial, and they’re much more tech savvy. We grew up believing that nothing was permanent. We grew up with marriages that ended in divorce,” Buckingham explains. “Generation Ys got prizes for graduating from first grade, for coming in eighth in a race, or just for just showing up. They are the most rewarded, recognized, and praised generation in living memory. So they walk into the workplace feeling massively entitled. After six weeks on the job, they expect a promotion.”
