day 2.352

tina fey is rolling in her grave...
and she's still alive! the trailer for mean girls 2 hit the internet yesterday and it's, well, the ugliest fucking skirt i've ever seen. imitation is the best form of flattery, and that's where they should have left this. the sure to be abcfamily movie special should have been just that - a made-for-tv knock off of the original, without any reference to the original. saying this is mean girls 2 implies we're going to get the same fast-paced, pop-culture referencing writing fey delivered in the beginning. what we're really getting is the stars of the disney channel (at least 4 of the main characters have appeared on one show or movie on the mouse-net) attempting to recreate the sarcastic wit of the original, which they are far from. i can't wait to hear what tina has to say about this the next time she's interviewed, especially since her friend, and mean girls star, tim meadows agreed to be in this cast, too. check out the cringe-worthy trailer above. the movie is shot with what looks like an hd handicam and features a lot more sight-gags than a movie should - and it's just the trailer!
