Ticket Stubs #4: An R-Rated Wedding

It would seem Ticket Stubs has taken on a theme of sorts. I kicked things off with Crash, which shared a star with Hustle & Flow. I mentioned Mary Jane (marijuana) in that review, which led me to Spider-Man, wherein I commented on the choice of Thomas Haydn Church (I researched it, and THC is a chemical found in marijuana--see Mary Jane reference above) to play the Sandman in Spider-Man 3. Church also stars in Sideways, in which he and Paul Giamatti embark on a depressing road trip to Church's wedding, and now things have come full circle with a review of Wedding Crashers.


FROM September 15, 2005 (SW@ Ticket #44: One SW@ Summer) In Wedding Crashers, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are divorce mediators who crash weddings to choose the hottest bridesmaids to have wild, DNA-spreading, one-night-stand sex with. Turning in the direction of many crime capers, the two schmucks go for "one last job" before they retire.
Christopher Walken, the go-to guy for playing crazy, overprotective fathers (when DeNiro can't be found), is a politician. Rachel McAdams (Red Eye) is the nice daughter who laughs during Walken's wedding vows, targeted by Wilson first as his wham-bam-say thankya, ma'am, then as a potential wife. Vaughn gets stuck with the naughty girl (the McAdams character's sister, played with kinky glee by Isla Fisher) who thinks Vaughn is her soul-mate. Jane Seymour is the resident MILF in pursuit of an unwilling Wilson, and Will Ferrell has a partially unnecessary role as Vince and Owen's crashing mentor, who has pathetically traded wedding whoopee for the easy funeral fuck.
Despite Will Ferrell in all his overblown (sex pun half-intended) glory, Wedding Crashers was well-done. Plenty of good American Pie-style humor without the inadvertent consumption of shit and pubic hair, or a creamed apple pie. Finch-Fuckers rejoice!
A-

Summer's not over yet, and I have yet to exhaust my supply of Ticket Stubs, so next time, I will continue my look back at the very SW@ summer of 2005, and a re-issue of my Red Eye review is on the way. Stay Tuned and keep saving those Stubs!

Stay Tuned #55: Goosebumps (Disney+ Season One)

Image
Article by Sean Wilkinson, a.k.a. the Ticketmaster I'm confused, Ticketholders. And disappointed in the lack of originality in visual media over the past few years. On top of the Fear Street trilogy and the TV series I'm reviewing today, I've also been watching the first season of Yellowjackets on Netflix because Paramount+ (like a broken floor scrubber) has a lot of buffering issues. All three are either set in or flash back to the 90s, and include a lot of the same songs and relationship dynamics (troubled same-sex couple, love triangle, toxic relationship, etc.). So the plot points and characters start to bleed together (heh; horror puns...) after awhile. But that doesn't make them bad products on their own merits. By my own actions, my merits (viewer analytics) have diminished significantly this month, so please remember to  Become A Ticketholder  if you haven't already, comment your thoughts on the Goosebumps reboot at the bottom of this post, help out my

I rarely post anything on YouTube, but I'm a frequent commenter and content supporter, and I recently commented on one of Doug Walker's videos as follows: It's not just you, Doug; Buggy the Clown didn't land for me in the anime at first. But he is AMAZING in the Impel Down arc (not going to spoil it, but the basic idea is the "Lock Up" episode of BTAS in Dante’s Inferno with One Piece characters, done as a full season). And that's pretty accurate. With no crew to help him fight, find his way, feed him, or fix
