Another ballot that means nothing.

MTV Movie and TV Awards? Give me a break.

(Yes, some categories have five nominees and others six. Kind of a subconscious way to make up for last year's absence. Wouldn't it be cool if the Oscars did this? Sure it would. Winners in bold.)

Well, today I saw Can't Hardly Wait again for the first time in who knows how long. Another entry for my 'Class of '98', sort of my own personal Letterboxd scavenger hunt where I watch a (heretofore undetermined) number of movies from twenty years ago. (I'm also doing this for 1988, but that's neither here nor there.) As it happens, I actually graduated from high school not long after this movie hit theatres (in fact, I was just four days off the film's 20th anniversary).

Thinking back, I'm equally relieved and disappointed that my own high school experience was nothing like I saw in the movies and TV. No cliques, no big pranks and no worrying about who to take to prom...but I can't help but wonder how it would've turned out if the four years were more eventful. Hell, I'd still be that quiet guy who never fit in anywhere, only I'd be even more miserable because everyone is having fun except me. Who knows? Maybe, some of my classmates felt that way, too.

BTW, I haven't heard word one about any impending reunions. It is the 20th, after all. I wonder what the theme is. Probably silver.

The Honest Trailer for A Wrinkle in Time was pretty good, only there was an alarming lack of alternate names in the 'Starring' section. I'm reminded of two other times they dropped the ball: The Wolf of Wall Street - 'Dr. Teeth' for Donny and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - 'You're So Cool, Parker!' for Goblin Harry. I can't remember the names they did use for them, which only proves how perfect my substitutions are.
