There is this new movie out from Jim Carrey called Yes Man; it’s based on this book by some British writer who went around for a few months saying “Yes” to everything. I saw some cunt today being interviewed about, not one of the stars or even the director, but some two bit producer grinning at the camera and saying something like, “we hope this film is seen to have a positive message and will encourage people to say yes more often.”
Errm no. They have not thought through how such a Yes principle would factor into the life of a teenage girl, for if I followed it, I would run the very real risk of tidying my room, spending less on makeup and fucking every pushy guy that approached you in a club on the weekend. I suppose at least there would be some advantage in the approach when someone tells you to “go fuck yourself”.
Perhaps when I am not grounded anymore I will try it and see how far I get before the prospect of some request so unpalatable I can’t keep it up. Certainly he first text from the Ginger Whinger would slay me and anytime spent in close proximity to my parents would run the risk of me agreeing to do something “constructive”.
On a related matter that as just occured to me as I have been penning this post, I did see an Anne Hathaway movie over the Christmas Break called Ella Enchanted. Completely pointless movie, which seemed to have been nothing more than a vehicle for Hathaway’s wide eyed expressions and blindingly white Hollywood dazzle smile. Hathaway’s character, Ella, in this movie is blighted with some obdience curse that makes her obey every request made of her; kind of like an enforced Yes Man situation really, although I could not gather how the fuck she remained so perky with enforced obedience hanging over her. Towards the end the main bad guy discovers her secret and only orders her to kill the heir to throne – nothing else! Yeah, right. He should have least had her darning his socks…
