Fangirly Poll: Do You NEED to See Those Bedroom Scenes?

Posted in TV by

While watching the Bones season premiere with my friend and fellow Bones enthusiast last night, we realized that we STILL have not seen Booth and Brennan “knock boots”.  Yeah, there was that one time in a dream.  And yeah, we know that they have because of that whole pregnancy thing, but we still haven’t actually seen it happen.  In fact, they came closer than we have ever seen them last night as Brennan tore off Booth’s shirt while he had her pinned against the washer and dryer (I know, I’m surprised I was able to type that sentence without screaming, too).

I feel like I was one of the few Bones fans to not be furious and Hart Hanson and Co. for how they handled the depiction and surprise twist of B&B’s initial coitus.  First, Emily Deschanel was pregnant and I doubt she was super excited to show too much, especially since Brennan was not supposed to be pregnant… yet.   Second, though I waited six seasons for it to happen, I wonder if showing “the scene” would have cheapened it in some way.  (Yes!  I know they aren’t real).

All that being said, do I love getting moments like the laundry room scene last night?  Um, understatement.

Now we are going to open up the floor.  Answer our polls below!  Keep in mind that Bones isn’t the only couple being shy.  (Castle, Psych… what am I missing?)

Grade A, Choice Picks: Top 5 Movie Quotes I Never Want to Hear Again

Posted in Choice Picks, Movies, Nostalgia, TV by

We here at Fangirly love nothing better than a good movie quote. In fact, many of our conversations consist of nothing but movie quotes. There are some famous lines, however, that are way past their prime. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is a comprehensive list of all the quotes I think should really call it a day.

1) “Run, Forest Run!”– This is just lazy quoting, guys. I have no idea why people insist on shouting this at the top of their lungs every time someone near them breaks into a run or even a light jog, but it’s over people. You’ve taken a perfectly good line, from a perfectly good movie, and ruined it! I hope you’re proud.


2) “I got a fever… and the only prescription… is more cowbell”- I take partial responsibility for this one. Between the ages of 12 and 17 I said this quote so often and with such a pathetic excuse for a Christopher Walken impression that people began to suspect I had a problem. A problem that even more cowbell couldn’t cure. So sorry world. I apologize for my part in ruining one of the funniest sketches in SNL history. I wish I could say it won’t happen again, but…


3) Anything from Napoleon Dynamite– Listen, nobody loved this movie more than I did when it first hit theaters. But I think we can all agree that this movie had a shelf life that ran out about five years ago. It was a great movie that reminded us all just how funny moon boots and hip hop dance routines could be, but this has gone on way, way too long. Let me put this another way: if one more person says to me “Your mom goes to college”, I will in no way be responsible for my actions.


4) “You complete me”- I think what bugs me isn’t the quote itself, but the fact that nobody is ever sincere when they say it. Hey man, if I complete you, why not just say it sans the sarcastic douchery? Seriously, make a lady’s day.

5) “The Master would not approve!”- This quote really won’t mean anything for those who did not grow up watching Mystery Science Theater 3000, because this line happens to come from the classic Manos:  The Hands of Fate episode. And while I love this episode more than words can express, I feel like I can’t get though any kind of family function without someone putting this one out there. Don’t misunderstand me; I’m not calling for an all-out ban. Let’s just put it on the shelf for a while, and only pull it out for special occasions. Like fine china, or a Michael Buble CD.
So there you have it folks, my top 5 most overused movie quotes. Do you agree? Disagree? Either way, feel free to go bananas in our comment section!
