I first saw this on Adult Swim right before moving to Seattle. I had noidea what the hellwas going on in it. More recently I was looking for something to occupy my mind, something rather than thoughts, and I ran across this show again on the interwebs. It sure did the trick. If you need to turn your brain off, this is good for that. Here is my favorite episode featuring Sarah Silverman.
This is one of those movies where the imagery carries so much weight on it’s own that it seems to take on a life of it’s own, developing a meaning for itself far from whatever meaning the story may have. The story is still fun and heartwarming, the fantasy parts are great. Overall it’s a pretty good movie. Especially when stoned.
Yummy, especially when stoned.
As much as I wish they sold poppers, the gay party drug that makes it easier to…um…have relations, at the grocery store, I’ll be content to settle for these. They’re pretty yummy, especially when stoned and I’m sure they’re terrible for you.
First and foremost I want to thank Jeremy for getting this movie on his Netflix que. He got a small handfull of movies this last weekend and this was in there. I am probably the only person (in the world) that wanted to see this movie and, while it was a steaming pile of dung, I’m glad I got to. It’s not very often a movie comes along that reminds me of those late weekends watching “Up All Night” on the USA network during my formidable years. Thanks, baby. You know how I like crap!
The premise is simple. This guy falls in love when he’s like eight years old. Jump ahead about 20 years, this guy’s girlfriend dumps him so he decides to hunt down his childhood crush. Said crush (Paris Hilton) lets him into her life, remarkably easy I might add, but she won’t date anyoine until she finds a man for her ugly friend. In the process of finding a man for her, this guy falls in love with the uggo. While this description seems pretty bare-bones, I feel that I have already used too many words to deliver it.
The characters are some of the shallowest portrayals of ancient low-brow comedy archetypes I have ever seen. Hilton’s character is, you know, just there. The most personality we get from the ugly girl is that she’s bitter because she’s ugly. And all that comes to mind when I think of the male lead is his vacant face trying to heart-feltedly convince someone of something (but sometimes he’s lying) like he does throughout the movie.
I want to throw this into the “so bad it’s good” pile, but I can’t think of any examples as to why that is. You must also understand how high my threshold for “bad” is. I think what I’ll do is tell you not to ever watch it because…you just won’t like it.
I’m halfway throught the premier right now and I can tell you that I love it. I didn’t watch the original, but I don’t think that really matters.
-I love that Annalynne McCord still looks like she’s blind sometimes, not really looking at anything. I think this show will get her a lot more exposure than Nip/Tuck did.
-I love that her character had Tilly and the Wall play at her super super sweet 16 (i know) party.
-I enjoyed the Spring Awakening scene.
-I like seeing Jessica Walter.
-My favorite line so far: “How many times have we had to talk about this blog of yours? It causes nothing but trouble.”
