Bring it on has how many sequels?!

So I haven't been able to download my pics from my last trips due to wireless issues. But it'll get done. Eventually.
In the meantime, I found out I have some crazy form of eczema on my feet. It's uber painful. The first three days I felt like someone was holding a blow torch on my foot. The next two, including today, my other foot itches like it's been bitten by billions of mosquitoes. I'm definitely curious to see what tomorrow will bring. Spontaneous human combustion?
Anyway, I laid immobilized on the couch for most of Saturday and Sunday. In two days I made it through Chasing Liberty, Spidey 3, Ratatouille, Bring it on, Bring it on again, Bring it on: all or nothing, Bring it on: in it to win it, and Picture this.
Most of you missed the fact that ABC Family had a Bring It On movie marathon. Most of you, like me, also didn't realize there were 4 Bring It On movies. I dvr-ed all of them and watched them one after another. Amazingly, the most painful movie of my weekend was not one of the cheerleader movies, but Picture This. A movie with Ashlie Tisdale and her newly remodeled nose.
So here is my movie review for my weekend. Hopefully you've all seen these movies so I don't spoil the plots for you.
Picture this: It's a typical movie about an unpopular girl who suddenly is noticed by a popular boy. The main guy of course dumped his evil popular girlfriend for her. Apparently he is unexpectedly deep, which of course leaves us all wondering why he was dating the popular evil girl in the first place. It was a boring script with stereotypical characters.
Chasing Liberty: You've all seen it. It kept me entertained.
Spidey 3: This was my first viewing of it. It took half the movie for anything to actually happen and at the end I liked James Franco's character much better than Spidey. MaryJane totally should have dumped Spidey for him. *sigh, he's wonderful* The action scenes with him and spidey fighting the villains at the end was the best part of the movie. His goblin toys were way more entertaining and useful than spidey's spider thread. Entertaining movie, but a bit long. Plus, it bugged me that the dirt man's daughter never did get help. C'mon Spidey, help a guy out.
Bring It On movies: I'll just clump them. They all followed a pattern so it was really like watching the same movie 4 times but with different characters and locations. My favorite? The first. Least favorite: the second. The movie actually made me want to go see a cheer competition. Just to see if they really are that good. The cheerleaders at my high school could barely jump off the ground. Let alone throw each other fifty feet in the air.
Overall? An entertaining enough weekend. But if my foot keeps me on the couch again I think I'll gnaw it off. Unless The Bratz movie comes on of course.

Just last night Stephan and I were at Blockbuster trying to decide on a movie and we saw the Bring it On movie number four or whatever and we couldn't believe how many there were. I, too, wanted to watch a competition after watching the first one. But, unlike you, I haven't seen any of the other ones. I wonder if you have some kind of secret ambition to be a cheerleader and that's why you seek out these ridiculous movies. Ha ha.
