Do you recall the episode of Rugrats where Grandpa takes Tommy to the Supermarket to go shopping, and Tommy sees the Reptar Cereal display and goes on a mini adventure to get to the top? Well, I was searching for some Rugrats episodes on the internet and I found an actual Reptar Cereal. Suddenly, the taste of 'Rugrats In Paris Pop-Tarts' filled my mouth. Wow, I remember how gnarly those were, although Pokemon cereal could've been better. I love how marketing campaigns with catchy theme songs and bright colors automatically sell millions! By the way, does anyone know where I can buy Reptar Crunch?
They're round, they're mean, they turn your mouth green!
On a side note, I got together with my best friend Jacky and 'the gang' to sit down and watch Disney's version of Once Upon a Mattress. The product of a colourful Disney movie with bad actors, added to the energy that can only be unleashed while 'high on Ring Dings', would equal to the amount of fun we had yesterday making fun of this film. Apparently, The Queen (Carol Burnett)'s body was...not ready for the dress that she wore. The same goes for Lady Larkin, but it didn't seem like Sir Harry minded (I can see it now, down to every small detail...:P) It didn't seem like Tracy Ullman was born to play Winnifred, but that is a heck of a lot more than I can say for Denis O'Hare, who was casted as Dauntless and looks like he has much more interest in Sir Harry, or perhaps the Wizard, who is in fact a man! The ensemble, especially during Shy, made some faces and dance moves that were subject of our inappropriate jokes. I didn't think it was possible to turn a children's movie into...well, Once Up On a Mattress. ;)
