Lovely Bones Commentary, From the Lady Who Sat Next To Me At The Lovely Bones

Possible spoiler alert: Because these are all someone's actual reactions to watching the film, you may be able to infer certain parts of the story-- at least, the tone of certain parts. Please take this commentary to the theater with you, as it serves to expand upon much of what is seen in the film.

Title Credits

"Hm."

"Hm."

"Oh."

"Hm."

"Oh no."

"Oh no no no."

"Hm."

"Isn't that awful?"

"Hm."

"Tsk."

"Hm."

"Hm."

"Hm."

"Tsk."

"Hm."

"Oh, I think those are the bones."

"Hm."

"Aw, shoot."

"Hm."

"Hm."

"Hm."

"Hm."

"Hm."

"Hm."

End Credits

"That was a good one, that was a good one."


No response from Peter Jackson's camp if they'll be putting the commentary on the Lovely Bones initial Blu Ray release, or if they'll save it for the Lovelier Bones: Unrated edition.

An Important Announcement from the UCB Comedy Blog

Sad news today, everyone. It seems like Jay Leno was not satisfied with his time writing for his new blog address, ucbcomedy.wordpress.com, and asked the powers that be to give him this address back. Unfortunately, his request has been granted, despite his tendency to use the wrong form of "they're"/"their"/"there" and his overposting of pictures of his neighbor's shih tzu, Ava, that he likes way too much.

You'll be able to find Becky at her old time slot address, ucbcomedy.blogspop.com, while I'll likely be going back to my old job monitoring site traffic at www.iowacorn.org, the official site of Iowa Corn. Thank you very much for your readership, and we hope to see you again soon.

Jay Leno has also sent us this message, which he asked be passed along to you. It was written by Jay Leno, no lie:

Hey their, UCB Comedy blog readers! I'm very excited to be back, right heir at the UCB Comedy Blog. As you all know, my new job was a bad job so now I want my old job, right thare at ucbcomedy.blogspot.com! I will approach the position with great aplomb, and I know that thayer's a lot of great blogging in store for you in the near future! Also, did I mention Ava?!? OMG SO CUTE.
Also I own cars. More then five! C U L8R!
