DCOM: LET'S DISCUSS

A couple nights ago my temp roomie, Sasha, and I were reminiscing about DCOMs (Disney Channel Original Movies). At one point in our discussion we mutually agreed upon watching Model Behavior to see baby J. Timberlake in his film acting debut, plus it features Nobody's Angel, and afterall, all ten parts are readily available on youtube.

Anyway, post viewing, our attention turned to a more star studded DCOM, Life Size. Lindsay Lohan was such a cute child...it's really too bad she had to deteriorate into a whole pile of mess. Anyway, we could not for the life of us remember the plot line. All we could come up with is tranny Tyra came to life from Barbie form to feminize a quite butch lil Lindsay. Well, we had to investigate, so on part 1 went. What really happens is that Lindsay's character peeps in on a witches n potions n magic store to find a spell which will bring her late mother back to life. Unfortunately, Lindsay effs up (life foreshadowed?), and instead of her mother rising from the dead, Lindsay's African American barbie doll comes to life in the form of Tyra Banks. Easy mistake.

Throughout the rest of the movie Lindsay learns lots of things, lets go of her mother, etc (we turned the movie off after Lindsay left the voodoo store...honest), but here's what I really got out of this movie revisit. Lindsay's made a lot of mistakes in life, poor girl, but conjuring Tyra into the realm of human existence was probably her lowest point...Oh no, wait...Georgia Rule. THE worst. Sorry about the mixup, Tyra.
