I came across something I wanted to link to today, but I had to get caught up first.
By the time I got caught up, I forgot what I wanted to link to.
But then I found it again:
I didn't really understand the parody in Lost in Translation until I saw the real Tara. At one point she's riding through Europe on a Gondola, explaining Sex in the City references as if she were some kind of tour guide.
I found myself unconsciously picking out sniper positions in the surrounding buildings. This … this is why people hate America.
“Tara Reid ate my soul [1]”
I guess since the United States does not have an aristrocratic class to make fun of, we have to make do with what we got [2] (and frankly, it's pretty pathetic).
