My Girl
So this is where Anna “I would rather eat my own shit” Chlumsky came from? No wonder she works on the Veep’s office in the future.
Our protagonist is really a 11 years old girl whose mother died at childbirth and lives with her Ghostbuster dad, a funeral parlour owner that works from home. Yes, he dresses up corpses in the basement.
He puts an ad for a makeup artist and this hippie woman responds, Jamie Lee Curtis. She though it was for working with live people, but he’s cute, and she divorced recently…
You can already guess what’s gonna happen, there’s no big twists and turns. The smoking hot secretary falls for the chubby boss, the kid will resent her new godmother, but they will get better. The godmother will help with the first period, with her special friend from across the street. Even the crush on the teacher.
Turns out she’s a fake hippie, her ex-husband comes repossessing the Winnebago and gets assaulted by her boss. What’s worse, the ex is absolutely coded as a gay hippie, cruising with his “special friend” on the Mustang blasting Credence. Yikes.
You can say the Home Alone kid died after trying to recover her mood ring is unexpected, but they made a sequel, that’s even more unexpected.
She’s got almost all the lines, incredible for a little kid. This is an amazing demo reel. She even drops the r-bomb, this was the 90’s. Like Back to the Future, this is set in the 20 years before it was released, with Nixon posters, and the final line says everything will be OK because Nixon was nominated again.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
