How To Be Emo

Found a link to this funny movie about how to be Emo on the BBS forum. Great stuff for a quick laugh, or to learn about that weird Emo kid you keep seeing when you go to get dumplings downtown.

Moonraker

LOL Jaws just fell in love. This is hilarious. I find James Bond movies to be pretty entertaining overall, and I saw this one a long time ago (it’s as old as me, made in 1979.) I forgot how funny it is! Jaws was in a tram car and it crashed, some chick saw him and then… the music started playing. Oh man I’m still laughing. I might update this at the end of the movie, or during the course of it. Too many commercials though grrrrr!

Update: How many 7up ads are in this movie?!

Update: LOL Jaws is our friend! Ooh ooh ooh! Laser fight! And how does her hair stay so perfect? She rocks!
