Waitress

We've all been in crazy situations, and I want to know how you handle entertaining fiascoes and bad restaurant behavior. I'll present a situation and you tell me what you would do. Here's today's scenario:

You've heard positive things about a neighborhood pizzeria; upon arrival, the small place is crowded with no empty seats. You approach the waitress/hostess and inquire about a table. She replies in a slow, stoned voice, "Maybe I can find you a table soon. Actually, I don't really know how long the wait is." She doesn't take your name and you feel invisible. Fifteen minutes pass and she randomly offers you and your friend a table to share with another couple. You oblige, even though it's sitting with strangers — you're hungry!

You order salad and pizza. When the salad arrives, it's overflowing and hard to eat. It's clearly being served in a plate that is too small for it. As you eat, more and more lettuce falls off the plate onto the dirty-looking table. You try and motion the waitress — multiple times — but she ignores you. What do you do?

We've all been in crazy situations, and I want to know how you handle entertaining fiascoes and bad restaurant behavior. I'll present a situation and you tell me what you would do. Here's today's scenario:

You're out at a popular luxury hotel's bar. You and some friends decide to get bottle service at a table. When the waitress delivers the juices, she accidentally dumps an entire carafe of cranberry juice all over you and your brand new (literally you cut the tags off of it that night!) white Prada sweater. What would you do?

This Sunday June 1, the MTV Movie Awards will strike again and while they aren't the most prestigious awards around, they at least get creative with their nomination categories. My favorite: Best Kiss.

Here are the nominees:

• Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey, Enchanted
• Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman, Step Up 2 the Streets
• Shia LaBeouf and Sarah Roemer, Disturbia
• Ellen Page and Michael Cera, Juno
• Daniel Radcliffe and Katie Leung, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I would love it if Ellen Page and Michael Cera won and then reenacted their kiss during the acceptance speech. But I have a feeling The LaBeouf will take that win.

Anyway, is it just me or were there some way better kisses this year than these nominees? There's a great scene in Waitress where Kerri Russell's character imagines a gorgeous kiss with her doctor friend (Nathan Fillion, anyone?) for example. Or hello? The library kisses between Keira Knightley and James McAvoy in Atonement!

Do you agree with this list or are there others you would add? What were some of the great on-screen kisses of the year (and by "this year" I guess we're talking all or most of 2007 since Disturbia came out in April of that year)?

This roundup of my best of 2007 polls include your final picks for the best onscreen movie romance and the best friendship/relationship between women in a movie. And the winners are...

Best Movie Romance: Giselle and Robert, Enchanted
Looks like many of you were swept up into the magical romance shared by Giselle (Amy Adams) and Robert (Patrick Dempsey) in the sweet Disney princess story Enchanted. However, after that the votes are outrageously close for the second place winner. As of right now, the relationship between Jane (Anne Hathaway) and Tom (James McAvoy) in Becoming Jane is beating out the relationship between Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) and Will (Orlando Bloom) in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End by exactly one vote.

I voted for the relationship between Lars and his real girl, Bianca, because there truly is something so lovely and pure about that relationship, as strange as it sounds.

Best Girl Friendship: The three waitresses, Waitress
There weren't a ton of great depictions of friendship (or sisterhood) between women in this year's crop of films, but of the options available, you all favored the sweet, quirky friendship between the trio of waitresses in Waitress. The relationship between sisters Alison and Debbie in Knocked Up followed behind, and the adorable friendship between Tracy and Penny in Hairspray was a close third.

I joined the voters picking the women of Waitress, as I found those relationships to be both heartwarming and true-to-life.

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below, you can also now check out the Bratz movie on DVD, if you are so inclined.

The O.C. — The Complete Series
Okay, so this one's not so much to rent as to buy: the entire collection of DVDs from The O.C.'s four-season run can now be purchased in one massive collection — just in time for Chrismakkuh. The set includes the show's 92 episodes on 28 discs and two discs of bonus content.

In the immediate future, you can catch Melinda Clarke — a.k.a. Julie Cooper on tonight's episode of Reaper playing (who else?) the Devil's girlfriend.

Two more new-on-DVD selections, so read more

For perhaps the most important lady in your life, check out today's holiday gift guide for some sweet ideas that might be right up her alley this holiday season.

If you're looking for something to watch during future girls' nights with you mom, check out the Gilmore Girls complete series collection, which includes all 153 episodes of the show on a whopping 42 discs. Granted, the packaging is a little cheesy, but that's a small sacrifice for the chance to watch this memorable mom and daughter grow up together.

This summer's sweet romantic comedy Waitress stars Keri Russell as a woman who is none too pleased to find out about her pregnancy. By the end, however, she learns that motherhood might actually be just what she was waiting for.

If your mom is the reading type, check out these books that are not only completely worthwhile on their own but will also be adapted for film in the not-so-distant future. So when Revolutionary Road and The Memory Keeper's Daughter hit theaters, your mom will be totally in the know, thanks to you!

Does your mom have a tendency to wax nostalgic about classic film stars like Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant? Check out the Classic Comedies Collection which includes Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story and Stage Door, among others.
