BTW, Lindsay hosts Saturday Night Live tomorrow night (I'm hoping that having Tina Fey there might make the writing a little better than the usual dreck on nowadays on SNL).
Lindsay's got some major league freckles on her shoulders and arms (but she had tons of freckles as a child as well, I remember them from "The Parent Trap"). She's got Spock ears too.
There are also a ton on her face, it's just that she has a ton of makeup on to cover them up. Still, I found the movie to be very enjoyable (and quite possibly the most crowded screening of a movie that I have ever been to on a Friday afternoon).

Fun movie. I was confused by one thing: when Regina gets hit by the bus -- a great "from left field" moment -- doesn't Cady say something like "and so Regina died"? Did I hear her wrong or was she just being metaphorical?
The Harry Potter SNL sketch with Lohan basically illustrated one of the predominant themes of this thread. It's good to see everyone's being consistent.
The movie was very funny. I thought all the cast was great. Was Lacey Chabert wearing that ton of make-up for the role? Looked really bad, some sort of bronzer or something.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I will. Just wanted everyone to know that Tina Fey's screenplay is based on a serious sociological study of teenaged girls called "Queen Bees and Wannabes" by Rosalind Wiseman (who went to the same school I did).
So if it helps you "older" guys feel better about wanting to see this movie, just tell yourself "it's based on a serious sociological study."
