Bend It Like Beckham- Oldskool

Shiri and I decided to watch Bend It Like Beckham today. On VHS. Oldskool style. Shiri almost forgot what rewinding was like.

Also, let's talk about who was in this movie (NOT counting the fake David Beckham). These three.

 Jess' David Beckham poster is HUGE. And she talks to him. Now, I liked Michael Owen, but my posters were never that big and I never talked to them. That would have been taking it a little too far.

I do love Indian culture though. I love their gorgeous saris, seeing all the food makes me miss afternoons at Sonya's house, their music is so catchy.

The three friends remind me of the Gaga Kids in "We Will Rock You."

Jules' mum is my FAVORITE character of all time of this movie. Within two minutes she had the best lines.

"When are you going to realize you have a daughter with breasts!"
... and
"All I'm saying is there's a reason Sporty Spice is the only one without a fella."

She is hysterial. Of course my favorite line of hers is "Can your lesbian feet out of my daughters' shoes!" "Lesbian? Her birthday's in March. I thought she was a Pisces!?"

The soundtrack left us speechless. Then we remembered that it was 2002 and the song "It's a Lady" was appropriate.

And Jonathan Rhys Meyers will always be hot. No matter how many poor choices he makes in life.
