The MTV Movie Awards always provides a couple of hours of laughs every year followed by hundreds of more hours through the number of times it gets re-run. This year was no exception. But with most likely early teens watching, I was surprised with the amount of sex content in the telecast. I'm not complaining but it didn't seem appropriate. From visiting the upside-down Spider-Man kiss to mentioning sex in the opening number to domimatrix people (domimatrices?) showing off on stage to Jack Black having the ring from Lord of the Rings pierced to his member plus much more. It all seemed to pile on. But even if you ignore all this and focus on the rest of it including the half-dressed ladies, always a good thing in any awards show, from host Gellar to various audience members, this was a funny show. Not as funny as when Mike Myers hosted a while back but still... that Panic Room skit had me laughing, especially when they broke out in song.

Did anyone notice when the great Jennifer Garner and the hitless-but-pretends-to-be-a-big-actress Charlize Theron jokingly talked about the year of the man, we got a shot of Hilary Swank?

Funniest ad-lib was from Matt Damon talking about "hating whiteys" to Chris Rock and Will Smith. I'll get the exact quote later when I watch one of their thousands of repeats.

Is it just my TV or did Mandy Moore look black with the tan she had? Besides that, her speech went way too long and thanked a lot of agents and other people we don't care about. I don't know anybody, okay maybe one, who actually watched this Remember Walking movie she did. Oh, right, A Walk to Remember. (Does it make a difference?)

Kelly Osbourne doesn't sound like a good singer at all. One way to tell is when her band totally drowns her out and we can barely hear her voice.

Hey look! Guess what's on MTV right now. It's the MTV Movie Awards. What a surprise!
