Seeing as I don't have one of those... what did you call them? Vaginas?... Yeah, beause of that, I never got around to reading and of "The Babysitter's Club." I do, however, have a sister three years my senior who had an ample collection of them. She stacked them in a large yellow drawer along with her "Sweet Valley Twins/High" books.
I recall that she was fiercely protective of these books. And not in the usual way (like the way some of my male friends protected basball cards, no); she was mean about it. If I, a mere six-year-old, was to touch her books, she would use her nine-year-old strength to pummel me and set my hair on fire.
These threats only made wanting to se these girly books all the more alluring. What feminine secrets was she hiding in those secret tomes? I had to know.
One afternoon, when I knew she wouldn't be home for a while, I peeked in the drawer. I flipped through some of her books, trying to find the secrets. I saw some bland illustrations of girls screaming and sitting kids, but nothing dark or revelatory. My curiosity piqed, I left them alone.
Of course she knew that her books had been touched (how do big sisters do that?). She gave me an Indian burn that hurt the rest of the day.
Thanks a lot Nostalgia Chick. My arm hurts again.

Well, let me first say, that from the moment I first saw you in the Ferngully review, I have been in love.
Now that that creepiness is over...
I don't remember this movie at all, at first I thought it was the Elisabeth Shue movie. But, great as always, funny and great music at the end.
You probaly have already picked a new line but, here is my suggestion none the less"Im the Nostalgia Chick...Need I say more?"
and then just wink and smile at the camera
;)Thanks for all the reviews

DIABETES! :shock:
Holy hell, "The Babysitter's Club"!
It's funny, I totally collected those books when I was a kid (hey, it was the trendy thing at the time!)...I even had a board game where they had to solve a mystery or something! The weirdest part is that I totally forgot all about them until now.
I never did see that movie during my Babysitter's Club "obsession" (if you could call it that) but based on that "rap" scene alone, maybe it's a good thing I didn't see it.
Keep on rocking, Lindsay! :D

A movie that uses Diabetes as a thinly-veiled metaphor for AIDS?
Apparently, this film didn't have the budget to hire any medical consultant who could've told them just how poor such a metaphor would be.
On a lighter note, as a male, I never read the books or saw this film, and the only actress I recognized was Larissa Oleynik, as I was an Alex Mack fan as a kid, and I still find her attractive.
Damn... I wanted Alex Mack to continue beyond its apparent finale, but no, Larissa had to leave to become Cobra Commander... erm... *Tommy's* love interest in 3rd Rock From The Sun.
But perhaps a future Nostalgia Chick review of Alex Mack will suffice instead ;)
I kinda regret that I didn't get in on that catchphrase gig... maybe it's not too late... I'll make a suggestion as soon as I think of one as good as some of those.

Haha this was actually on t'other day. God it was awful... Also the channel airing it kept putting apostrophies in the title card, but it kept moving. It was odd.
The film itself was prety... confused. Also if they are actually just a bunch of steriotypes how did they get together to form the club in the firstplace.
