I'm really getting into Kath and Kim, so Selma. It would've been Seth if Robot Chicken hadn't fallen off lately.

woah i gotta watch this

what a spawning ground of actors I never see

Lauren Ambrose, for her campy multiple-personality turn in Psycho Beach Party

― the magic length of god (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 14:42 (sixteen years ago)

at some point someone's going to call it 'the outsiders/breakfast club/st elmo's fire of the 1990s'.

she's the most memorable, tho i didn't realize it was her

i can never keep her and lauren graham straight

oh dear

― gabbneb, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 14:57 (sixteen years ago)

i work from home and i like having background noise to distract me when i get bored so i end up watching a lot of movies with commentary because i don't really have to pay attention to it

― n/a is just more of a character....in a genre polluted by clones (n/a), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 15:04 (sixteen years ago)

selma blair should be in more movies. liv tyler should be in less. i hate that voice of hers.

Haha, Nick, did I tell you Kr and I watched this movie when we were catsitting for you?

I like how three of the actors later show up on Six Feet Under.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:23 (sixteen years ago)

having ilxors catsit for you and they watch can't hardly wait at your place C/D?

this is the movie with the "paradise city" party scene, right?

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:30 (sixteen years ago)

yes

― The Wild Shirtless Lyrics of Mark Farner (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:31 (sixteen years ago)

It was originally going to be "Panama", but the licensing fell through. IIRC, they had to reshoot the scene for "Paradise City"

I don't know why I know this.

― The Wild Shirtless Lyrics of Mark Farner (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:32 (sixteen years ago)

that's the only scene i remember besides seth green trying to bone a chick in the bathroom

xp panama would have been so much worse

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:34 (sixteen years ago)

i mean i would be pretty sad if there were no teen movies that use paradise city for the climax of a party scene

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:35 (sixteen years ago)

i always wonder why lauren ambrose has had a more visible career than alicia witt

― Every Day Jimmy Mod Is Hustlin' (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:38 (sixteen years ago)

better actor maybe?

― gabbneb, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:40 (sixteen years ago)

are you sure?

― Every Day Jimmy Mod Is Hustlin' (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:43 (sixteen years ago)

i never saw Melissa Joan Hart outside of talking cat context. how can it compare?

― Yentl vs Predator (blueski), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:45 (sixteen years ago)

Lauren Ambrose's career mostly consists of a lot of lip-biting.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:49 (sixteen years ago)

wtf why are so many people I usually like in this movie

― Ca-hoot na na na oh oh (HI DERE), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:50 (sixteen years ago)

I really like Selma Blair so it should be here but JLH wins this because of her boobs and Ghost Whisperer

― akm, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:54 (sixteen years ago)

if we're voting boobs, there is another...

― gabbneb, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:55 (sixteen years ago)

was this thread prompted by the appearance of seth green and breckin meyer in HEROES?

― cutty, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 16:57 (sixteen years ago)

I think it was prompted by JLH's boobs

jerry o'connell is pretty good in this because he's playing an overweight pathetic has-been

wow, I haven't seen this in a few years and had no idea Jason Segel was in it, so I voted him, though I had a terrible crush on the dorky kid and will always love Jaime Pressley and the red headed girl from Six Feet Under. Great poll!

― skeletal lexing (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 18:16 (sixteen years ago)

ahh thanks gbx yes love charlie korsmo even if he didn't do anything(?) after this movie

― skeletal lexing (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 18:17 (sixteen years ago)

Korsmo earned a degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2002, he began working for the United States Federal Government on missile defense. He has also worked for the Environmental Protection Agency and for the Republican Party in the House of Representatives. He received a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School in 2006.[2] At Yale, he was a member of the Federalist Society, an organization for politically conservative law students.[3] In January 2006, he and other Yale Law students signed an open letter to Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter supporting the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. In July 2007, Korsmo wrote, and subsequently passed, the New York State Bar exam.[4] Korsmo is currently an associate in the New York office of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP.

i like the version from the Tim sessions but the horns really swing on the Pleased to Meet Me version

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, December 10, 2008 8:56 AM (5 hours ago) Bookmark

Probably one of the only examples of horn sections in a rock song that I enjoy.

― redmond, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 20:55 (sixteen years ago)

You don't groove to the dulcet tones of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones?

― Ca-hoot na na na oh oh (HI DERE), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago)

JHL's neck really is pretty long. For a while there was something about her proportions that seemed made-up, and that's not even a breasts reference or anything. She'd verged into the sort of person who looks like someone drew her.

― nabisco, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 20:58 (sixteen years ago)

in this movie, jenna elfman for sure.

― RADNESS UNLIMITED! (sunny successor), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:08 (sixteen years ago)

JHL has never done it for me, i think because she looks like she has a tiny head.

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:13 (sixteen years ago)

JLH

― Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:13 (sixteen years ago)

she looks like a Disney character

― akm, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:14 (sixteen years ago)

w2g korsmo.. I have not done anything remotely comparable in the time since Can't Hardly Wait… damn. At least I did not turn into Paul Giamatti:

― skeletal lexing (Finefinemusic), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:15 (sixteen years ago)

I rode the schoolbus with Korsmo when I was in high school. He was something like a fourth-grader.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:17 (sixteen years ago)

"Tiny" head is totally part of the odd proportions, especially when coupled with super-delicate features, etc. She used to look less like a person and more like someone's slightly exaggerated idea of ... something.

― nabisco, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:17 (sixteen years ago)

that's ethan embryo dude

― cutty, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:18 (sixteen years ago)

I voted Seth Green cause; Chicken Robot, Family Guy, Buffy. Also, cause Kath + Kim is the worst shit ever.

― Mordy, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:18 (sixteen years ago)

Kath + Kim is the worst shit ever.

qft

― the cef (united nations children's fund ha ha) (some dude), Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:19 (sixteen years ago)

I haven't watched more than 10 minutes of it, but Blair was pretty charming therein

― nabisco, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 21:36 (sixteen years ago)

I still can never explain what I like so much about Selma Blair without using the word "canine," which makes it sound way less complimentary than I mean it. It's like when you look into a puppy's eyes and it seems like the most joyous and simple animal on the planet and you want to give it a hug. Canine simplicity. But in a really hot way.

I'm going rogue and voting Jaime Pressly or however you're supposed to spell it because she is really funny on that terrible show.
