01.07.09 WHAT’S GREEK FOR ‘TURD’?
I couldn’t tell you how many middle-aged people told me “Oh my God, you have to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding, it’s so funny!” a few years ago. If you ever hear the same thing, take it from me, do not see it. It’s the cinematic equivalent of one of those bad comedians who’s convinced they’re unique. “You’ll never believe what my mother said the other day, she’s sooo crazy! Hey, have I told you I’m half German and half Hispanic? That’s why I’m in therapy!”
Anyway, this is the trailer for MBFGW-writer/star Nia Vardalos’ follow up, My Life in Ruins. She goes to Greece to regain her mojo, or ‘kefi’, as the Greeks call it. I’m not sure what else it’s about or who else is in it because I just stabbed my laptop in the face.

WHAT’S GREEK FOR ‘TURD’?
MBFGW is exactly what Nia Vardalos will say when I get her in my van and get the gag in her mouth.
“My Life in Ruins” or “Being Cross-Eyed Doesn’t Mean You Can’t Star in a Movie.”
Co-starring “The White Kimbo Slice” as “Poopie.”
Ummm, Nopa.
I watched this waste of time on the advice of a friend of mine, coincidentally a 40-year old single greek woman (true!).
Needless to say, I will not be watching the sequel. And the friend… don’t worry, she’s stowed safely beneath my floorboards.

I originally read “MBFGW-writer” as “MMA-wrestler.” But Vardalos would need to lose weight for that to be true.

Fuck me and FUCK MIKE!!!
Nice to see Richard Dreyfuss back at work. It’s a step up from his last job, cleaning car windshields at the stoplight.
Or IS it?
Greek for turd? Skata.
Thanks, Urban Dictionary!
By the way, I was making a murder reference, and not a rape joke.
( I know Al was about to call me gay for taking about raping this chick.)
Our local radio traffic reporter is greek, which is unhelpful, because she only talks about people getting rear ended.
Good Lord I want a gyro
Is that Rachel Dratch in the lower right corner of the banner pic?
Rachel Dratch is funny, but DAMN that’s an ugly chick!

GREEK B.O.
As long as we’re talking about Greek things, I’d like a little boy.

Who the fuck stole my tits!?
True story time!
My Junior Prom theme was “An Evening in Athens”, but they wouldn’t let me bring a guy as a date.
Are you murdering, raping, or merely taking her, Jack?
I raised Socrates from the dead, he watched this and asked for a hemlock smoothy.
This cant be a Greek movie, no plates were broken!
(also,lack of olive oil covered sodomy)
Oh, how the mighty have fallen, from Alexander conquering the known world to the far Indus, to using Windex as a sexual lubricant.
You know what they say: Once you go Greek, you’ll smell for a week.
I’m not raping her. I might tell her I’m raping her, just to hear her scream, but I promise that I’m only murdering her.
