AWAAAAY.

It's weird, I freaking loooove the show, but I HAAAATE most of the characters. And it's because it's designed that way. Theonly character I even remotely like (For the first couple seasons) is Walt. Everyone else is just there to get in his way, and ultimately drive him to the life of crime, because they are soooo annoying/infuriating or otherwise just aggravating. Every episode I was just begging Walt to shoot them all and embrace the criminal inside. Of course in the later seasons that all gets thrown on it's head and suddenly they all become characters that you sort of care about/ actually sorta help Walt in their own twisted way.

How did I miss that one of the Conchords wrote the songs for The Muppets?!

But then I won't get the pot of gold from the super famous movie guy, cause obviously being an asshole is the only way to actually achieve anything.

Yeah, well that's my point. That's the question you ask a Spine style movie, and the only answer I can give to that is "To watch this character grow and change." And I'm not sure if that's really worth anything.

And did you know what I meant, yeah, so fuck you.

Heehee, I love going back and listening to episodes I missed and randomly hear my name come up in conversation! Thanks Teague.

EDIT: So not a good episode to watch at work. I'm sitting at my desk trying not to burst out laughing or crying. Way to pull it off at the end Brian. Amazing.

When I discovered that they had done a full version of this, I nearly squealed in joy. And I was at work...it was awkward.

The Big Year

The only reason I even know this movie exsist is because a list of the 10 biggest flops of last year was being passed around and this movie was on it. Which completely blows my mind, because it is simply amazing. Yes it's true, every single gods damned comedian on the face of the planet is in this thing and they are all unequiviqobly outstanding.

I've been struggling to figure out how to descibe this one, and the best I've come up with is; imagine that the book in Adaptation, The Orchid Thief, was actually about birding. And this is the movie that Adaptation should have been. It's quite literally a love song to birding, but with these amazing, soulful characters. I know personally by the end of the movie, I had fallen in love with birds and these characters.

It's a very strange thing, and I havn't felt it a very long time, to fall so completely in love with a character, let alone an entire cast of characters. But thats what this movie did to me, every single person in this movie feels like a real human being, even Owen Wilson, while stilling doing his arrogant prick Owen Wilson thing is rooted and grounded and the character is a living breathing human being that obviously cares about things. I just yeah, it's hard to describe, but the script is great and everyone in this is bringing thier A-game plus a little more.

It also sort of harkens back to a lot of 80's comedies for me, specifically Christmas Vacation. While there's certainly a lot of very very funny moments, there is also a LOT of heart to this movie. And I think thats the best way to put it really, this movie has an incredible amount of heart to it, a lot more than I've seen in a very long time.

I, yeah, it's just an outstanding, and amazing movie. Easily my favorite Jack Black performance (he's essentially the main character and provides all the voice over narration, and it's beautiful, it really is), Steve Martin is amazing as always, and where Owen Wilsons character ends up by the end is just heartbreaking. And yeah, every one else is amazing.

I'm fairly certain this is a movie everyone here would love, go watch it.

I'll definitely have to check that one out. I really liked that actor too, (Although not at all like the Wood of the books, it worked... considering he was actually in the frickin thing all of about 30 secs).

MI2, obviously subtitled: "John Woo's Suck My Giant Slo-Mo Cock"

It yeah, it is what is, I guess. Although 2 things struck me while watching it, first, damn that chick looks EXACTLY like Zoe Saldana. And secondly my brain sort of exploded a bit when I realized (After imdbing) that the guy who plays the blondish haired bad guy that gets his finger sliced, is the same guy who played The Duke in Moulin Rouge.

So yeah, that was a thing.

Moving on.
