SING!

If someone offers your the opportunity to watch Mr. Nanny and you haven't seen it before, do yourself a favor and take them up on this offer.

While getting this classic piece of cinematic art ready to go, I ended up learning a lot of things.

Do the Right Thingis not Pay it Forward.
Spike Lee is not Spike Jonze.
Neither of them are Tommy Lee Jones.

I am one of the most confused people of them all.

Mr. Nanny was super into the big man in a little chair thing. Hulk Hogan has a real first name (it's Terry), and the little girl from The Nanny was also in Mr. Nanny. They also chose maybe the dumpiest boy of all time to play the kid from The Nanny's brother. Part of me feels really terrible for calling a kid dumpy, but the rest of me recognizes that he probably has a good heart and a bad costume designer. Maybe he was actually very stylish in his real life.

The best part of the movie, the only thing that actually had me laugh and required me to use my inhaler, and rewind to rewatch a bunch of times--it was so funny that Sam took a screenshot- was when the kid turned into a monster and got all demand-y.

When the kid said "SING!" I almost died and Sam made this.

Not exaggerating: two four days later I was by myself in H&M and I thought "SING!" and I started laughing so hard that the woman there probably thought I was trying to sneak jewelry into my pockets or some awful thing like that. They kind of came over to check on me. I'm 31, but I had to run away like junior high.
