A fannish weekend, baby!

foxmonkeyFriday: Headed to Big Lots/Odd Lots to buy birthday gifts for the husband, things like a two pound bag of beef jerky, a Harley model by Matchbox, a box of Lucky Charms and other assorted bizarre items. Seriously. I also got a couple of cheapie blues and hippy CDs for him, and while perusing the rack, saw a candy-striped cover that said POP in big white letters.
It turned out to be a compilation disk called POP to the Power of 16. The first four artist listed are Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, NSync (woohoo!) and Britney Spears. I turned it over to read the track listing, and the Sync!song is one I've never heard before, called Best of My Life. $4.99! It's now mine! The BSB track is Quit Playing Games, which I love, and the Britney song is Thinkin' About You, which I was surprised to find that I liked.
Reading the fine print I see that Best of My Life is from the European release of their first album. Do my ears deceive me, or is there a Joey solo on that song? For $4.99, a good buy, and I'm very pleased to have Quit Playing Games. I may have set it on repeat about a hundred times. And no, I'm not becoming a Backstreet fan, despite the following...
Saturday: Thrift shopping, baby! Had to stop at the bank, and when I got in the car Quit Playing Games was playing. I started thinking that something good was out there, just waiting for me to buy it. The feeling was reinforced when I walked in the thrift shop and heard Pop! playing. I love them so much! I write stories about them, read about them, buy their crap...but it seems like I just melt and turn into teenie fan girl when I hear them on the radio. I walked around in an NSync cloud of love the entire time the song was playing. Wonder why that happens??? Anyway.
Got two cute purses for a grand total of $1.06, and while listening to my boys, I headed to the casettes/CDs bin. No CDs, but there is a video, still in the shrink wrap - Backstreet Boys, For the Fans. 99 cents! I saw a BSB video in this same store a month ago but didn't buy it, and it was gone when I went back the next day. I had to get it. I'm about to have my first true Backstreet experience. Pray for me.
Later that afternoon hubs and I went to Blockbuster. They're having a buy two get one free sale, so we wander around looking. Longshot! Hahahaha, I now own a copy of the craptacular movie that Lou Perlman put together. He has a ten second appearance on screen. Ew.
But JC! And Joey! The guys are really cute in this. Their appearances are cameos, and therefore short, but very adorable. Justin's facial expressions are amusing. Lance...well, he's not the most theatrically skilled of the fellas, despite his starring movie role. Chris was entertaining in his bits. But JC and Joey.
I can see why of the five of them, these guys got the longest scene in the movie. They are absolutely *too cute* together. And what makes JC think that he can't act? He and Joey were clearly the best of the five, and the most natural, too. JC kept cracking me up, and I watched for him to break character, but I never saw it. It might only have been a few minutes, but I was impressed. And good Lord, he looks gorgeous on film. Joey completely cracked me up, and completely lived up to every story I've ever read that placed him in a pizzeria or in a kitchen.
Blockbuster had this pre-viewed for 4.99 (or was it 6.99?), and the pre-viewed DVD was 9.99. I went for the DVD, and I'm glad I did - I must have replayed the JoeC scene about a hundred times. God, so cute.
And the outtakes! At one point Lou and Lance are onscreen, and Lou says something about if it weren't for them he wouldn't fly (?). I'm probably not remembering that correctly, so feel free to correct me, if anyone knows. Anyway, he's got his arm around Lance's shoulders, and while Lance looks polite and is smiling, he doesn't look completely into it. Creeped me completely out.
Justin's friend Trace is in the movie, for a hot second. He reminds me of someone, but I'm not sure who. Like he could Paulie Shore's little brother or something. Anyway, Justin's outtake was kind of cute, but nothing spectacular.
JC! Joey! Yes, they had the best two. Not only did they have the best scene, but they got more footage overall than the other three, including outtakes.
First one: There's a bit where Joey and JC throw a ball of pizza dough back and forth, arguing about who's going to make the pizza. People whine about the smallest spoilers, so if you don't want to be spoiled for a two second bit that doesn't matter in the movie, don't look any further. Still here? I warned you. Anyway, in the movie, the dough falls to the ground and they look around to make sure no one saw them. In the outtake, they're throwing the ball of dough back and forth, hitting each other in the chest and suddenly JC lunges at Joey and start wrestling and they go out of the camera's view to the right of the screen. Friggin' hilarious. You can hear people laughing (and JC and Joey are both cracking up) and the director saying, "Cut, cut," and then they come back in the frame, still wrestling, still laughing, and still wrestling, fall to the floor behind the camera. Couldn't possibly be any cuter.
In the second outtake (see spoiler warning above), the director gives JC his direction for the scene. JC is standing on one side of the pizza oven, and Joey is on the other side. JC's opening the door for Joey, who's going to take the pizza out. JC's supposed to say his line and open the oven door. Action. He says his line, grabs the oven handle, winces and drops the door, then starts shaking his hand and goes, "OW!" The crew laughs, and Joey laughs and says, "Is it*hot*?" Like, "You doofus, we've been working around a hot oven all day and you just realized this?" Very funny, despite the fact that my baby was in pain. ;-)
JC and Joey are in love, no doubt about it. They are just too squeeworthy when they're together.
They're so freakin' adorable! It's not possible for me to love them any more than I do!!! God, I could die from the cuteness.
The Sync!scenes alone make this movie worth the 9.99 I spent. There's a big chunk of O-Town at the beginning of the movie, so if you like both bands and you've got some extra cash, I'd definitely recommend it. Watched on fast forward, so I have no idea what the actual movie is like. Though it looked pretty bad. Like very.
