Julia Stiles is actually kind of funny
Oct 28th, 2009 by dino-ray
Julia Stiles has never made me laugh in any of her movies. Well, there was her role in the Bourne series, but I don’t think that was supposed to make me laugh. Then there is that one scene in 10 Things I Hate About You where she recites that poem. Again, I don’t think that’s supposed to be funny. But I, along with my friend friend, Judith, stayed up until the wee hours of the morning trying to get perfect Stiles’s recital of the magical poem which won Heath Ledger’s (rest in peace) heart. Judi and I more than perfected her monologue. We embodied her role. We had every gesture, beat and throaty cry down to a tee.
But like I was saying, Miss Stiles has never made me LOL all over place – until this video. And I will tell you why:
1.) She is basically taking a stab at all those “celebrity” designers out there. You know, the ones that think they are a designer, but don’t even know how to thread a needle. The perfect example is Sheree from Real Housewives of Atlanta. She’s not a “celebrity” per se, but in her diluted, manish mind – she thinks she is a designer.
2.) She takes a stab at this whole eco-fashion trend.
3.) Two words: SWIFFER. TIE.
4.) Three more words: KLEENEX. BOX. SHOES.
4.) Shants. Nuff said.
5.) Even though she did make me laugh, I think the comedic film group The Vacationeers (Todd Berger, Kevin Brennan, Jeff Grace, and Blaise Miller) deserve props. They actually made her funny – especially with that broke-ass modeling.
6.) The awkward silence and camera staring at the end. I adore awkward silences. They are magical moments when everyone is all squirmy and conversationally impotent.
7.) I have to say it again: Shants.
