Monday Movie Meme - Restroom Antics!
Monday, August 19, 2013 at 10:00AM 
The theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme is loosely based on my inability to recall many scenes from “Why Did I Get Married,” except for the one in the bathroom where Sheila confronts her (supposedly) friend Tammy. This particular movie was Angela Brown’s (Pursuit of Publishness) selection for the Most Memorable Outbursts theme from two weeks ago, so all props goes to her because it helped me come up with an easy theme for this week: Bathroom Conversations.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring scenes where two or more people are in a bathroom, discussing or engaging in matters that have to do with everything else but showering, urinating, bathing, washing of hands or other typical uses of this space. Instead, maybe they’re sharing secret plans to swindle an opponent, maybe they’re trying to get a girlfriend/boyfriend back, or maybe they’re debating with friends about where to stash some stolen goods -- who knows? Whatever it is, it ain’t got nothin’ to do with normal bathroom behavior! Here are my selections for this week’s Bathroom Conversations theme.
Liar Liar
A lawyer named Fletcher (played by Jim Carrey) has a wild bathroom episode to try and get out of his court case after being hit with an honesty “curse,” in this comedy film. “I’m whooping my ass, do you mind?!!!” is one of my most famous lines from the bathroom scene in this movie.
Lean on Me
When Mr. Clark catches a group of delinquents cutting class and trying to smoke in the boys’ bathroom, these students are challenged to perform the Eastside High school song.
Their on-the-spot bathroom performance, however, introduces the principal to a surprising rendition of the school’s alma mater.
Hustle & Flow
DJ enters into a bathroom brawl with a famous rapper after finding out that his dreams of having songs on the radio may not get past the toilet.
What movies have YOU watched that features scenes where the most memorable Bathroom Conversations or interactions are taking place?

LOL! I loved Lean on Me!!
Okay, so for this one, I had to grab the YouTube of the "conversation" between Queen Latifah's character and another bad arse chick in Bringing Down the House.
The hood and Billy Blanks Tae Bo go at it cat fight style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG1lSthrFaA
Angela,
The bathroom fight scene you shared is just about all I've seen of "Bringing Down the House," lol. Although I do like Queen Latifah, I never had any interest in watching that particular movie but when those two women started going at it, I was wondering "Does she know Karate or something?" until I heard her mention the Tae Bo and then remembered your comment. And then the Queen's "compliments of the hood" comment had me shaking my head, like OMG, these chicks are crazy! Nice pick for this week's meme :)
