Just home from seeing Tina Fey in Date Night which was wholely satisfying on the 'umour front. Maybe overall, it did lose a little in the ending, but I love her. I love her today like her loved her when we first met in Mean Girls. I love her with Amy Poehler, I love her WITHOUT Amy Poehler. I love her as a Producer, I love her as a barren single woman, I probably even love Sarah Palin a little bit because of her physical resemblance to Tina. Here's what I love about Tina:
1) Big bum curves... which I have read she attributes to her Greek heritage (who knew!? I wonder if she knows about spoon sweets? If I ever meet her, I'll ask her that)
2) Intriguing scar... which happened when she was five and a stranger slashed her while she was hanging out in her front yard in Pennsylvania. Usually scar stories are boring, but that is just about the best scar story ever, which is only fitting for our Tina.
3) Self-consciousness. She just seems to always have a little of it in her performances which help make her a little bit human and familiar. A sex scene with Tina Fey would, I imagine, be a little similar to a real life sex scene... like when someone's elbow is leaning on someone's hair and that someone can't lift their head off the pillow until the other someone moves, or when somebody throws in a bit of a movie quote or cliche at the crucial moment to try and make the other somebody laugh but just gets in trouble for ruining the mood.
4) She writes, and nothing gets me green like a lady writer.
5) Elizabeth Stamatina Fey. Her real name according to the internets. I love celebrities with made up names. I especially love knowing their real names in case it shows up in the Good Weekend quiz, or at a trivia night.
6) Late Starter. I can't believe she's been interviewed about it, but apparently she was 24 when she lost her virginity. The implication for me is that she came to cool late, and I think that just makes her even cooler.
7) Umm... ooh... err... I know! She's funny. She is not a comic actress that holds her own opposite male comedians cum movie stars, she is genuinely deep down funny. It's hard not to sound lame on this point, so it is here that I must sign off from this post... a quivering mess.
I heart you, Stamatina... you are right in all sorts of way.
