What was all the fuss about Bridesmaids? I finally just watched it. The problem with Bridesmaids is that there’s NOT ENOUGH Bridesmaids. The hilariously funny scenes with the Bridesmaids (the movie’s title, get it?) were interrupted way too much by Kristen Wiig and her “whoa is me” whiny bullshit. Honestly, I wanted to see more of Melissa McCarthy shitting in a sink (“It’s coming out of me like lava!”).

It’s got great lighting – who thinks about lighting? I do. You’ve got your candles and such…not too dark, not too bright. Great background music and sometimes it’s live (and not too loud – more on that later). There’s a sushi menu, beer, martinis…and for you smokers – well, smoke ’em if you got ’em –…
