'It's a pretty long article about why her hair is brown'

Cheryl, adding the description above, sent me a Mandy Moore interview that, among other things, talks about her next movie (Mandy's, not Cheryl's):

In "Saved," due out this fall, she seems to mock her own righteous image in a story about a teenager attending a Christian school who tries to "save" her gay friend by having sex with him -- and winds up pregnant. "It could be quite controversial," Moore says slyly of the film in which she co-stars with Macaulay Culkin. Moore plays the friend of the pregnant girl (played by Jena Malone).

I wouldn't dream of making a judgment about this movie, except to say SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY. I just hope that the pregnant girl's name is Belle.

I attended a Christian school.
None of the girls there ever let me try to "save" them.
Maybe I should have gone after the gay ones.

1) Why Belle?
2) Is Macaulay Culkin the gay friend?
3) Does anyone else want to kick Mandy Moore in the teeth?

That's a really bad haiku, Richard. The syllables are all off.

1) Saved by the Belle
2) I supposed so.
3) No thank you. I don't particularly like her, but I think it would be really gross to kick someone in the mouth and have teeth and blood all over.

4) Did you post this because it mentions your beloved long-lost twin brother?

4) No, mostly because Cheryl wanted to see if we could buy tickets yet.

"A girl at a Southern Baptist high school finds that her pregnancy makes her an outcast. The film is a coming-of-age story and also a dark comedy. "It's like those monster vampire high school kind of movies, only here the monsters are Jesus-freak teenagers," says Michael Stipe, the former R.E.M. lead-singer turned movie producer."

"It could be quite controversial." Yes, and it could also suck. A lot. Like, really.

Macaulay Culkin is somebody's wheelchair-ridden brother, I believe, rather than the gay male protagonist.

At first I was going to yell at you for saying I wanted to buy tickets, but then I did remember saying that in a JOKING manner.

Ok, I knew America was running out of decent movie ideas, but is this really what we've resorted to???
