Mean GirlsStarring: Tina Fey, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Neil Flynn, Amanda Seyfried
Like Clueless, this movie is a not great but a touchstone pic.
I’m not the target audience of the movie – for tween females, I’d guess – but it’s still a sorta stupid but fun movie.
Formula movie – in this case, high school boy meets girl/girls bond[not] with others – that exceeds the formula.
Written by Tina Fey; any questions?
Thus far this so-called winters, we’ve broken records for most days in a row without snow (290+ days), days in a row without 1+ inches of snow (320ish), yet had some almost record-breaking cold.
Currently, it’s 63 degrees out there, and it’s raining like hell, with thunder and lightning, to boot. And because of the heavy rain and frozen (but snow-free) ground, we have flooding advisories, as the water is going to just run off paved and unpaved surfaces and collect at low ground.
The rain is supposed to give way to snow and much colder temperatures (hello icy roads!), and we’re supposed to see a high of 16 degrees on Friday – a swing of almost 50 degrees off today’s high.
This is what winter in Chicago is like this year: a smorgasbord of weather.
It’s like that old Mark Twain saying about New England – if you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute.
Wild.
Update Saturday Feb.2: Yesterday had early-morning temps of zero, and today we woke up to about 2-3 inches of snow. Roller coaster weather…
