Meet the plastics.....
Its October 3rd ....MEAN GIRLS DAY!!!!! It is so FETCH!! So bring out your pink...here we go...DEEP DIVE!!!
Right away lets get into the fun and and not so fun facts:
The film production was in a constant battle to keep it's PG13 rating...
-The scene "Is your muffin buttered" was suppose to be "Is your cherry popped"
-"Made out with a hot-dog" Was suppose to be 'Masturbated with a hot-dog"
-The scene when Cady walks in on Jason and Gretchen kissing at her party. The script had her giving oral sex to Jason
These were just a couple of the many changes they were forced to make. Director Mark Waters got upset because they were doing the same things as the film Anchorman and that was a PG 13 film. Sexist much?
Who missed out or turned down parts???!!
James Franco tried out for the part of Aaron Samuels
Scarlett Johansson tested for the role of Karen Smith
Ashley Tisdale also tested for Karen Smith
Elisha Cuthbert tested for Regina George
Rachel Wood turned down an offer to be in the film, she had a filming conflict. What part? We do not know!!
The film was based off a non-fiction book based out of a high school in suburban Chicago called Queen Bees And Honeybees Helping Your Daughters Survive Cliques; Gossip; Boyfriends; And other Realities Of Adolescence. Written by Rosalind Wiseman. Yes that is the full title.
The skirts for the famous Christmas Dance were actually plastic...to represent..The Plastics...
Well we have to see it again....
Lacey Chabert (QUEEN OF HALLMARK) was the first hire, and the only choice for Gretchen Wieners. As it should be!!!
Lindsay Lohan was cast as Regina!! However at the time she was known in the press as the wild "Bad Girl", she was afraid the public may intertwine her life with the character of Regina. So the move was made to play the "Nice Girl" Cady.
Amanda Seyfried first film role. Originally suppose to play Cady. However because of the Lohan switch they moved her to play Karen. So Yes Seyfried was suppose to be the lead.
Tim Meadows broke his wrist before filming so they explained it by him having carpal tunnel.
Rachel McAdams was cast as Regina George, according to the producer only a "Nice Girl" could play a "mean girl.
Rachel McAdams was 25 years old playing a high school student...7 years older than Lindsay Lohan at the time and only 7 years younger then Amy Poehler in the film.
This was Tina Fey's screenwriting debut.
The first non-Disney film Lindsay Lohan was in.
Amy Poehler pinned a cocktail wiener on her bra so her dog would nibble there.
Tina Fey wrote the script saying at Upper Darby High School she was a real life Mean Girl
The character Mrs Norbury was named after a German Teacher of Tina Fey at Upper Darby High School where she went to school.
How about where are they now???????!!!!!!!:
Lindsay Lohan........Cady.... she does not live in the USA anymore. She lives in the Middle East and Australia. She works on the Australian addition of The Masked Singer.
Rachel McAdams.....Regina....Nominated for an Oscar for Spotlight. Is now being seen on Netflix in the very funny Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga. She cutback on her work load since having her first baby at the age of 40. (My favorite Film Actress by the way)
Lacey Chabert...Gretchen....The queen of Hallmark. Enough said. (My favorite TV actress by the way)
Lizzy Caplan...Janis....She stars in a newer series called Truth Be Told. She was in the popular film Cloverfield, and has mainly been known for the series Masters of Sex.
Daniel Franzese....Damian.....he mainly is a working actor, he takes small roles on the big screen but also bigger roles on TV series like Recovery Road and Conviction
Jonathan Bennett.....Aaron....he is also a working actor, taking on many big roles in Hallmark type films.
Amanda Seyfried...Karen...has been the lead in a lot of films like Les Mis; Mamma Mia; and Dear John. Small films like The Big Wedding and Chloe. An Allentown Pa. native!!!
Let me finish Mean Girls day with some movie quotes:
"On Wednesdays we wear pink"
"This is so fetch"
"Gretchen stop trying to make fetch happen. It's not going to happen"
"I gave him everything, I was half a virgin when I met him"
"Half the people in the room are mad at me. The other half in the room like me because they think I pushed somebody in front of a bus, so that's not good"
"You smell like a baby prostitute"
"Oh, thank you"
"What is fetch"
"Oh, it's a slang from England"
"Coach Carr, step away from the underage girl"
"I love seeing teachers outside of school. It's like seeing a dog on it's hind legs"
"Miss Smith, why would Regina refer to herself as a Fugly Slut?"
"On October 3rd he asked me what day it was"
"It's October 3rd"
Well that was your revisit of MEAN GIRLS!!
Happy Mean Girls Day!!
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
