Little Miss Sunshine

poster4Okay. Movies take a while to come out to the sticks, but I saw Little Miss Sunshine last night, and ... wow.

I'm not a big fan of bandwagons. Hate to jump on them, mostly 'coz they're a bitch to get off of. Last night, however, I attended a packed screening of the movie with my teenaged daughter, her best friend, and BF's parents, and dear god, how we laughed.

The script, written by Michael Arndt, is first-rate, and the acting is ensemble work at its best. The lines from the film are gems, and I thought about posting my faves here, but then I'd take away from the pleasure of you experiencing them first-hand.

But, here's what you can expect: discussions of Proust, Nietzsche, childhood beauty pageants, motivational speaking, marriage, family, goals, vows of silence, and the awkward, bumbling pursuit of the dysfunctional American dream, which, according to one character, is one continuous fucking beauty pageant.

Words to live by

President Bush, like the Republicans following him today and even some Democrats...had no grasp of the new threats we faced, so he failed to offer a vision to keep us safe in a world that had changed...instead, George Bush literally gave us his father's war--but without his father's allies or his father's sense of decency.


— Senator John Edwards, at Pace University, 9/7/07
