*I had to throw this in, so great is my vendetta against this show.
Your Craziness Inspires Me
Laurie wrote recently that she is such a worrier, she used to make sure her (now ex-)husband knew what pictures he should use in case she went missing or died. And I instantly thought of the "run-away bride." Remember? When she went missing, her family supplied the craziest, googley-eyed photo of her to the media. I cannot let that happen to me!
So I asked H if he needed a picture of me for a Missing poster or for my obituary, what would he use? And he said this:
[me holding a box of Peeps while making a face of disgust]
Ummm... no. He seriously loves that picture and even had it as his screensaver at work for a while, but do I want that picture all over CNN? No. So he suggested this:
[a close-up of me looking super-smiley]
I admit it is better, but I don't know why H can't select a normal picture, like this one of my uncle and me.
[picture of my uncle and me]
So I asked H what picture he wanted if he goes missing or dies. Without even pausing, he said, "My drunk David Hasselhoff picture!"

Hah! Am literally laughing my ass off at his pic. What a loon :)
P.S. Elf is AWESOME.
I'm pretty sure there's a law against using a shirtless photo for your "missing" photo...But I could be wrong. ;) I like -H-'s second choice picture best...But try not to go missing. :)
I liked Wedding Crashers, but I too refuse to watch Two and a Half Men...But only because I will not watch anything with Charlie Sheen.
I would call Wedding Crashers missable as well. Sometimes I think missing people decide to stay missing because the picture their family picked out was just so embarrassing.
I love H and I LOVE that he posed for a drunk Hoff pic. I'm pretty sure that my boyfriend may be his long lost, shorter brother.
You guys should live here.
That last picture made my morning. I may put it on my screensaver.
How is Anchorman not fantastic? HOW??
I am sad to say that I have not seen half the movies that make up your ratings key. However, I do generally agree with your ratings (as I have seen one in each category) with the exception of Wedding Crashers. I own it. I love it. I'm not ashamed.
And the 'which picture would you use if I was missing' thing? Yeah, that is something I would totally do. I can't believe I haven't covered that with D yet!
That wacky H! I don't think his picture would do much to help find him, but it would certainly bring some entertainment to the world.
You can slam Two and a Half Men as hard and often as you like. Dreck! Dreck, I tell you!
I would rate 40-Year-Old Virgin higher, if only for the dance sequence at the end. I'll watch the whole movie just to see Paul Rudd in that scene--he just throws himself into it so hard. It kills me every time. (Yes, I loves me some Paul Rudd. And some Steve Carell. And some Seth Rogen. And I have girl crushes on Catherine Keener and Jane Lynch. It's the perfect movie for me.)
I was recently watching a Dateline / Court TV exclusive with AS and his roommate about a murdered actress. The producers seemed to have an unlimited supply of the following two types of photos of the victim:
1. Joyous, carefree shots of the actress prancing on the beach, hugging friends and family, with a wide smile, ("She was hopeful and young and naive and moved to LA to make her mark on Hollywood")
2. Photos of the actress looking off into the distance, a brooding look on her face ("But little did she know that evil lurked in the big city")
I immediately became concerned that, if I am ever murdered, there are not enough pensive-looking photos of me for the Dateline report. You know, the type where you can see in my eyes that I knew, deep down, that I would die a violent and untimely death.
The text underneath that first picture of you would have to read, "Missing: Woman with mild obsession with Peeps. Last seen at grocery store clutching Peeps. May have been taken by someone offering her free Peeps. If found, counter-offer with more Peeps and she should come along without a fight."
I actually watched a full episode of Two and a Half Men for the first time last night, because I was too lazy to find something else to leave on while balancing my checkbook and because I figured maybe it was best to know just what I was scoffing at when that station refers to it as "America's Number 1 comedy."
So yes. I watched it. Don't worry. I didn't like it. Not even a little bit. I am ashamed when I find myself laughing at a dumb joke on an even dumber sitcom, but in this case, I didn't even crack a chuckle once. Yeah, I don't get it.
Also, Liz? You'll have to fight me for Paul Rudd. Keep your hands off-a my man! ;-)
Hi there. I am finally visiting your blog! How are you?
Since I haven't read everything, I am unaware of the reasons behind your Two and a Half Men hatred. Or is it Charlie Sheen hatred? E and I watch it, and think they have clever writers. Fill me in!
OMG...I'm DYING. I was not prepared for thr drunk David Hasselhoff. AWESOME. Also? I was on a Jet Blue flight one time, and the only thing on at the time besides soccer and news/nature programs was Two and a Half Men. It was the longest 23 minutes of my life...
...And I've been in labor.
H Rules.
And I love the Peeps picture too. I've secretly had it as MY screensaver at work, but I am now going to switch it out for the Drunk Hoff pic. ;-)
Oh, and where would The Princess Bride rate on your system?
Dude. *I* need a drunk David Hasselhoff picture.
Thank you for supplying my new goal tonight.
H. is too twisted. Mad love/props for his "gone missing" faux-Hoff photo.
I'm a CAP fan, too!
BTW, I love that I can be an inspiration for paranoia :) hehehehehe
