well, throw me in the trash and call me a $2200 truffle because I'm going to die alone, burdened by the smallness of my confines.

I remember when we used to have cable, this movie and the Mummy used to be my only shot at seeing Brendan Fraser semi-regularly on Star Movies or HBO. I have seen this movie probably 27 times, until my family got so sick of me, I was stripped of remote privileges for**ever**. My brother was on my side, except when Rambo, or The Expendables or Fast and Furious - basically any Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, whatever - were on. This was almost always. Cable TV wasn't always the best at showing movies outside of popular culture, especially at the peak TV-watching time of 7:00 pm. My point being, there are movies that become an integral part of how you view your past and childhood, even if they have outdated graphics. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a nostalgia whore, a girl is allowed her flights and fancies. Anyway, I have completely forgotten the point of this review. Love Brendan Fraser. Love The Mummy. Wish I could have had the childhood this movie makes me remember.

Zoey Deschanel is such a perfect manic pixie dream girl all the time. Lowkey might be the best, most watchable Jim Carrey I've ever seen (aside from Eternal Sunshine ofc)
