Go sink into another cozy seat with a big box of Sour Patch Kids and see Slumdog Millionaire. It's the story of a kid who grew up in the slums (get it? slumdog?) of Mumbai who—with like zero education—wins the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (get it? millionaire?). It sounds cheesy, I know, but it's actually smart and touching. Basically, the film (from Trainspotting director Danny Boyle) uses flashbacks to explain how our hero attained his unlikely knowledge, and those flashbacks include kids that are sooooo f-ing adorable that you'll want to go home and watch Jerry Maguire again just so you don't have to come down off your adorableness high.
It took me until 2008 to realize that writing things on the internet doesn't (necessarily) make you the most annoying person in the universe. Then my friend had a dream that I had a blog where I posted a photo of myself in an orange sequined dress. Hot.
