Movie Review: The Benchwarmers. AKA, "What Is Wrong With Me."

I am horrified, sickened and terrified to report that I saw the Benchwarmers tonight and .. and .. oh, God, Internet. I found Rob Schneider attractive.

That's right. This is Rob Schneider,



and this is Rob Schneider,



and oh, God, THIS is Rob Schneider,



and tonight.. tonight he was makin' copies of my heart.

In my defense, I must admit to having a bit of a thing for men in uniform. Baseball shirts, men who know their way around a sporting arena ... it goes hand in hand with being attracted to a man who has a hammer and knows how to use it.

(This is an important point, as if any of y'all are dating a man who doesn't know how to use a hammer, you should probably like... have him tested or something. I mean really. It's ... it's tapping a nail into a piece of wood. This shouldn't be a challenge.)

Benchwarmers was fairly decent. A League Of Their Own wins as my most favourite movie about a sport I never play ever, but Benchwarmers, while not in that league, had a boy with agoraphobia and as everyone knows, crippling phobias are hilarious.

I do adore Jon Lovitz in most things as well, and ... without giving anything away, watch out for a truly magnificent scene involving - what is probably my favourite pasttime and should be yours too -- making Peanut Butter Dragons and makeshift castles made of cardboard. AKA WHAT I WILL BE DOING NEXT WEEKEND, BIATCHES.

Anyways. Back to me and my movie going experience, because really. This entire thing is about me, and maybe a little bit about how bad I feel for Napoleon Dynamite and what is doubtless his endless bout of typecasting. He needs to do something really drastic to change things up a bit. I'm thinking ... nudity.

I would totally recommend seeing it, although I wouldn't recommend losing complete control of your body, falling down clumsily into your seat and unknowingly spilling a load of popcorn into your purse which you end up finding later while at Seattle Coffeehouse, feeling around inside your purse and wondering why "everything is greasy". And yet, so delicious!

.... THE NEXT DAY....

I'm fine now. There is no residual Rob Schneider attraction. Thank you, God.

You crack me up!

I think (but I'm not sure, probably repressed it) there was a time - just a fleeting moment - when I found Rob attractive too... but it didn't last, either. Poor Rob.

Does that go for ANY uniform?

So apparently Rob Schneider has some general attractiveness.

I am not sure whether to be relieved that I am not alone, or worried for the female population.

And Will: Show me a plumber and I will show you a stud.

.. uhm, maybe. I haven't really tested this theory.

ImageHi. My name is Sarah
and I live by the sea. I like pirates and vikings and my audio cassette tape player. I am 25 years old and pretty much covered in sand all the time. Also, I like cookies. My profile.

ImageHey Sarah, what are ye listening to?
Lots and lots o' stuff, like St. Germain's "So Flute" and "Ghosts" by Ladytron. I can't believe Robyn is out with new stuff and it doesn't make me want to show her love by jabbing rusted forks into my eyes. It's actually really catchy and kind of endearing. I have been looking up the songs from So You Think You Can Dance all year, too, because it's all awesome and at heart, I'm still a spandexed little dancer ready to punch Annie in the face and show Daddy Warbucks a thing or two about tap musicals.

ImageI'M READING:
Walking Dead:

    Frigging awesome. One of the best books about the Zombocalypse I've ever read (one of the only good books about the Zombpocalypse I've ever read). I think there's something about zombies that is so hard to construe via text ... I mean, honestly, you can only use the word "purtrid" so much, and the visual, awesome aid of comics really helps.

ImageI'M SEEING:
Quarantine, a movie that's kind of the equivalent to being on the Disney spinning teacup ride, except, also, there are RABID ZOMBIES ON BOARD. Honestly, I missed quite a bit of this movie because I spent a good portion of it with my head nestled into my boyfriend's armpit attempting not to vomit. The camera movement is, at times, insanely choppy and all over the place, and those of you prone to motion sickness, you might want to skip this one. I'd give it about 2 1/2 stars out of 5, because it's decent -- I'd even watch it again if I could keep the room from spinning.

ImageBOOK CLUB!:
The Kite Runner. I love this book. It wasn't necessarily a book I'd choose to read (these days I appear to be more interested in books geared towards teenage girls.), but I'm so glad I did. Beautiful writing. Next choice... I'm going to volunteer the Bell Jar because IT'S THE BEST BOOK EVER.
