For Your Consideration
For Your Consideration is a movie about a movie. The movie that they are making is Home for Purim, a drama set in the 1940s South which is generating some Oscar buzz.
Catherine O'Hara plays actress Marilyn Hack who's character is dying in the movie, Home for Purim. Harry Shearer plays actor Victor Allan Miller who the husband of the Marilyn Hack's character in Home for Purim. Parker Posey plays actress Callie Webb who is the daughter in Home for Purim who just came out to her dying mother that she is a lesbian. Christopher Moynihan plays actor Brian Chubb who is the son in Home for Purim. Christopher Guest plays, Jay Berman who is the director for Home for Purim.
For Your Consideration revolved around the three actors, Marilyn, Victor & Callie and their Oscar buzz for their individual performance for Home for Purim and who they handle it as individuals. Marylin whose best known work is being a blind prostitute in a movie in the late 1980s says she doesn't care about the award. Victor whose previous work includes dressing up as a hot dog in commercial. Callie a newcomer is overwhelmed and decides to break up with her boyfriend (Brian Chubb) for not being supportive.
With all the Oscar buzz the studio executives swoop in an request that the movie needs changes to the script for being "too Jewish." We learn through a fictional entertainment show where Marilyn is being interviewed that the movie is now called Home for Thanksgiving. That holiday is non-denominational and less threatening. Fortunately for the studio executives they do not ruin the movie and the Oscar buzz continues.
I thought the movie was decent. It seem there were a lot of inside jokes that maybe only the Hollywood kind would get. There are some funny parts with the fictional entertainment show trying to make the older people look "cool." It is definitly a satire on the entire film industry. I give this movie a 6 out of 10.

stack it
To fall over in a spectacular or amusing fashion, often to the immense amusement of the people around you.
I can't believe I stacked it up the stairs and passed out. I'm such a klutz.

I would so ask for my money back
It looks like Supernanny isn't all that it is cracked up to be. I don't watch the show on American TV but I can imagine it goes something like this....Insane kid who has no disipline from his parents are running wild. Supernanny comes and the kid behaves for a total of one day and then goes back to his insane ways.
In England one of the kids that appeared on Supernanny burned up his house with a lighter and curtains. The kid was THREE YEARS OLD! That is hard-core. This kid has no hope...they should just charge him as an adult and let him spend 10-12 years hard time. Actually you know what, the kid should be sent to Britney Spears then he would appreciate his parents more. (Source)
