Nostalgia: the Britney edition

OK, so, I went to Starbucks in the free half hour between Gilmore Girls (in which Logan is sooo smarmy and condescending to Jess who as always looks gorge, did I add I'm thinking of writing a book on the show using some good-old fashioned literary theory) and The Hills, which ended up taking longer then planned (and oh lord, when I first got there they had signs for the Christmas drinks up already and I was so freaked that the pumpkin latte was gone but it's still there hooray) so I decided to go vote right after (did you vote yet?) and come home to watch The Hills on-line then figured out that it would be on again tomorrow directly AFTER Gilmore Girls and THEN I realized that Crossroads was on Bravo.

Oh my gosh, Crossroads.
Do you remember that movie? Britney back in her golden days and I literally mean golden as in her hair? I totally rocked that movie in the theaters. Twice. I have no idea why. I forgot how ridiculous it is. So of course I'm totally rewatching it. Mick sat on the couch by me and we watched in silence for a few minutes before I finally said, "Don't ask. Just don't ask." He left shortly after. Girls, this is how you drive a man away if need be. I forgot how Britney ALWAYS saves the day (Briteny diagnoses the cracked radiator, Britney stops fights, Britney steps in to win the karoke contest, Britney nabs the keys to drive the car then cools down the hot driver dude when he has a hissy fit because his car is all he has left that hasn't been taken over by girls, Britney mediates peace between the warring nations in the middle east...you get the idea). And how when cute dude asks to hear one of her poems she agrees basically right away. Child please! Don't just go around giving it way for free! Here's the thing about the plot that just screams contrived: They go to L.A. so the pregnant Taryn Manning character can compete in a singing competition and WHO ends up doing all the singing?

In conclusion, this was Britney's first and last movie. I say it's time for her to make a cinematic comeback. In a horror film. Maybe I'll write it for her. We'll see.

PS Note that the first paragraph was a run-on, which I believe I had a request for...
