Self-Assigned Millennial Movie Night Triple-Feature Footnotes:
- Zoolander is a perfect film, no notes.
- Okay, one note: the costume designer must have had such a fun time getting to the turn every look up to 11.
- The bend and snap scene in Legally Blonde is dumb and unnecessary.
- Why are there no POC in Boston / Harvard EXCEPT for the cringe-roulette bend and snap scene?
- Watching movies with Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson back to back is weird because they sound identical.
- They have another actor brother, Andrew, who plays Minor Character in a single episode of everything. He's in Zoolander as the guy that cut Hansel's hair during the walk off.
- The whole Harvard committee debating Elle's admission is bonkers. She has a business degree, a 4.0 GPA, a near perfect LSAT score, is wealthy, and has a long list of extracurriculars and charity work.
- The hot FedEX guy looks like Bruce Campbell and I'm apparently not the only one that thinks so because his first role was actually Mini Ash #2 in Army of Darkness.
- Nerdy David looks familiar because his dad is Anthony Perkins, aka Norman Bates from the original Psycho. Also his IRL name is Osgood, and that is wild.
- Miss Congeniality has aged so poorly it would almost be easier to list the things that aren't really troubling and problematic.
- The entire crux of her disciplinary review at the beginning is based on actions that were absolutely morally and legally sound.
- Benjamin Bratt's character is absolutely disgusting and objectionable nearly the whole movie.
- At one point when Sandy B and B Brattz are grappling on the floor, he uses his fingers to do a 'tapdance' motion literally across her mons pubis/labia.
- 3/4ths of the way through the movie, Rhode Island (a currently enrolled university student) drunkenly reveals that she was raped by her professor, and the emphasis is on teaching her to defend herself in the future, not seeking justice for the crime.
- Michael Caine has a million great lines and is working so hard to heroically carry this movie.
- William Shatner delivers tiny lines with such perfect comedic timing ("oh shit")
