This is a very good episode. At the time I didn't appreciate it for what it was because I knew Cinderbella and the famed J/H bathroom scene was coming up; but now in more objective hindsight, this was a wonderful little episode.

Lena is so bold. Lots of props to the girl.

I didn't like Lena, she really got on my nerves. But you have to love her for stating the obvious. How would you be if this girl you just met was telling you those things, that your guy best friend was in love with you and visa versa.

I have to ask...why a bunch of 15-16 year olds would want to see black and white movies?

Yup, I've always wondered that myself

I think if the producers used a new movie, they would have to pay for the rights to use it or something like that.

They weren't really interested in watching it (at least most of them), they were just searching for an excuse to be alone with their boy-/girlfriends to make out.

Then why didn't they just say that?

What was Ryder doing at the drive in alone? Walking around throwing around insults?

I haven't been to a drive-in movie...but I think there's just something about it that adds to their fantasies of being with their respective dates. I don't know. Sort of like parking in a secluded area...overlooking the mountains, underneath the stars...or the *full moon*.

Ryder was just being Ryder...(and we secretly love him for that.)

and Lena...the jahammer cupid.

I loved this part. So near...so far...

take it like a man, Munchie. Take it like a man.

Yep. Isn't that what he usually does?

Ham is so jealous in that last picture. And not because Lena has chosen Jake instead of him...

Brekkon · 03-08-2005, 11:59 PM

Did anyone feel for Scout, being jealous of Bella and Scout? Or do you think he should have just sucked it up and enjoyed his date with Paige?

Ryder is such a bastard. Gotta love him for that.

Pity how Jake and Hamilton were so confused about how they felt about each other.

I loved this so episode. What I found so hilarious about it was when Jake, Hamilton and that girl are at the drive-in and Hamilton keeps staring at Jake

Brekkon · 03-10-2005, 01:32 AM

Me too. What are the lollies Jake goes to get? Are they like a jellie lollie? It was funny to see Lena look at Jake...Hamilton look at Jake, and poor Jake in the middle.

I'm not sure what they were...I thought they were juju beans or somthing.

All the stares....it was just too funny.

Silversun · 03-10-2005, 02:30 PM

I'm pretty sure 'jujubes' are what we call 'hard jubes' over here.

We don't have them over here....what are they?

I don't know why they made Lena disappear after "Cinderbella". There are so many comic possibilities to do with her. She is very much a die-hard romantic and I picture her as one of those girls who would having a crying seizure from watching "An Affair to Remember." She reminds me of "Sleepless in Seattle" (a chick flick guys can like b/c it mocks women who cry at romantic movies) because I think she would believe in the destiny kind of stuff it mentions. But u gotta love her for being so bold. I don't think that I would ever have the nerve to tell someone I like him flat out. You have to admit that she's a little crazy too but that's also something that makes her lovable.

They are gummy, probably made from the same stuff as the insides of jelly beans; and not too soft. We get them in lots of fruit flavours and they are pretty chewy.

Celera - I agree. Lena had so much potential, not just as 'Jahammer cupid' but also as a character in her own right.
