A girl group find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy to deliver subliminal messages through popular music in this send up of the music industry and pop culture.

My name is Buro Houtenfaust. I was named for a Saint who was a very wealthy man. He had the wine, the women, the songs, the whole bit, and then inexplicably, took a vow of poverty and became a hermit. Ran off to live in the forest, in the nude.

- Simon Templar, The Saint

Saving someone’s life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn’t feel the earth – everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you’ve become immortal, as if you’ve saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there – why deny that for a moment there, God was you?

Agent J: You don’t remember me, but we used to work together…

Kevin Brown/K: I never worked in a funeral home.

Four years after the alien-seeking agents Jay and Kay (Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith) averted an intergalactic disaster, Kay has returned to the comforts of civilian life while Jay has taken over his former partner’s role as the most annoyingly efficient employee of the unofficial government agency that regulates all things alien on Earth. While investigating a seemingly routine alien-on-alien crime, Jay uncovers a diabolical plot masterminded by Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle), an evil monster disguised as a sexy lingerie model, and her two-headed, half-witted accomplice, Scrad/Charlie (Johnny Knoxville). When Serleena takes the entire MIB building hostage, Jay can only turn to the retired Kay, whose expertise represents the universe’s last best hope to avert ultimate destruction.

This is a classic 90’s film that had one of the most popular soundtracks at the time. Although I’m not sure I’m allowed to call this movie a classic yet since it’s not that old. It was released in 1997. Does that constitute classic? I digress.

The movie Men in Black with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones is one of those fun-filled movies with some serious action. In it, there are some cute aliens, some small aliens, some giant aliens and some plain weird aliens.

My little alien …*ahem* dog Kernel may seem somewhat unusual to most people, you know, with the talking and all. But he’s not. He’s just your regular run of the mill, cockapoo puppy dog. Believe me when I say that I have absolutely no ties to any alien conspiracies. There is no vast worldwide alien conspiracy to kidnap dogs, fatten then up, change their voice boxes, teach them English, and harvest their organs! I promise…

Do you believe in the possibility of aliens?

I do…

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Nobody knows that better than I do. The gambling, the partying, the women, the shows, the wedding chapels. You want to stay away from the wedding chapels – especially when that guy Elvin is the padre. I think that was his name, Elvin, the long-side-burns guy in the gold suit. Anyway, don’t get near that chapel because before you know it you’re living in a trailer park in Calgary, living with Trixie the Cocker Spaniel and saddled down with 8 or 9 pups. At least that’s what happened to a friend of mine. Don’t tell Trixie about Chantelle and me. She’s a jealous little b-bitty thing. Trixie that is. But like I said it happened to my friend. Not me.

Next time I’m in Vegas I’m going to stick to the shows. A nice, safe magic show. Not one of those ones with the tigers that eat your head. Just a magic show with nice little tiny birds. Or maybe a bunny in a hat.

There is lots of crazy stuff that happens to these two kids in the movie we’re watching this week, too. Check it out.

See ya Friday.

Kernel.

So, I haven’t seen this movie prior to this evening’s showing of Ready to Wear (1994) which is also known as “Pret-a-Porter” in other countries. I’m curious to see how it ends. I believe the story goes that director Robert Altman was unhappy that nobody in the US could really pronounce “Pret-a-Porter” properly so he just released it as the English translation.

Basically the story revolves around a bunch of different people who are involved in some way or another with this fashion show. Kernel decided to have his own fashion show in our living room today and I was quite impressed by his array of sequined outfits. For a creepy little talking dog, he can be pretty funny… most of the time. Of course he wanted me to help him pick them out and because I’m a girl, he decided I know stuff about fashion. Well, I’m going to tell you all right now that I know nothing about fashion! He did rummage through my clothes before I brought him to the nearest thrift store. He also tried wearing my underwear as a hat because he said his ears fit through the holes so well. Silly puppy.

Well, on a side note I just wanted to mention that I’m enjoying watching these movies with you so much!! I’m glad you’ve allowed me into your homes to watch a movie with you. I hope Kernel and I make commercial breaks a little more bearable.

We hope to see you again next Friday! Take a look around our blog to check out our bloopers and other blog entries and let us know what you think. We absolutely love hearing from you.

Have a great weekend!
