My dear friend Billy finally saw Superbad and we discussed it. What transpires next is an elaboration on what I said to him.
If you didn't enjoy Superbad than I guess you just didn't get the aesthetic of the humor. Don't give me that hoity-toighty bullshit "Well, I completly understood it" because you obviously didn't if you didn't find it funny. You can demerit the movie however you want because, honestly, it is not a great movie. It just does what it's meant to do and executes it perfectly. It doesn't try to be something that it is not.
To me, the funniest part of the movie is the name. That's because they're not fucking Superbad but they think they are and that makes them every high school kid ever! It is a stupid dumb movie, but thats why it works so well. It is very relatable. I guess if I had to sum it up, I'd dub it the antithesis to every John Hughes film ever. I mean, there are far better films in the world but for that movie was, it was perfect it tried to be nothing but itself

Being sick at work sucks donkey dick. Which, coincidentally is a possible way of how I have this killer sore throat right now.
Or it could be from the cold and wind going down my throat and my immune system finally wearing down after a season of fighting the wintery weather hardcore for a week and then being like 'eh, too many layers' and sending myself out onto the frozen tundra of William Paterson with nothing but pants, shoes and a jacket.
If there is anything illegible in this post, I blame Wayne Hall, for all I've eaten has been at that grimy place of food stuffs.
~~
You wonderful readers witnessed history the other day. My Y: The Last Man and Barkley posts were restructured into semi-legitimate newspaper articles for one of the P.O.S. bi-weekly newspapers at my school. I will continue to use this as a testing ground to see if I have enough bullshit to write about on a topic to turn it into article length.
My next topics for writing are going to be two of these four: Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Darjeeling Limited, Justice League: New Frontier and the new Murder By Death CD.
~~~
Some notes on my brief play time with Professor Layton:
-It's like Phoenix Wright with no court and all logic puzzles.
-Has a very nice European animation style (Think Tin Tin or Triplets of Belleville)
-Puzzles sometimes thread on 'holy fuck this shit is hard' territory but for every one seemingly impossible puzzle, there are at least five that make you feel semi-smart instead of totally retarded.
-If there ever was a game that made you feel like you were mentally challenged, this would be it.
-Great characters
-See the Game|Life PSA at the end of their coverage of Brawl.
-If you own a DS, you owe it to yourself to buy this game.

I've reached the point of a highly anticipated event when I stop following a normal calendar and just state the day as "Today is 19 days away from Brawl".
If people recall, I wrote a week and a half long poem about Rock Band (See the 12 Days of Rock Band) because of my anticipation for the game.
Will Brawl get the same treatment? I'm not sure. Will I write about it a lot? YA GODDAMN RIGHT! There's a huge difference between Brawl and Rock Band. Rock Band is noisy and I can't play it every moment of the day. Brawl can be a rather noiseless game if needed, so I will probably stop playing the game for classes and a few hours at work so I can catch up with schoolwork.
~~~~~
Roger Clemens is fucking guilty.
~~~~~~
Heroes is a fucking kickass show. I finished Season One the other day and I am avoiding beginning Season Two because I know its only 12 episodes and that there will be no new episodes until at least September.
~~~~~~~
I downloaded "El Scorcho" by Weezer and "Sex Type Thing" by STP from the Rock Band DLC Treasure Trove. El Scorcho is fantastic and Sex Type Thing just makes me think of the Weird Al Polka that it is in.
~~~~~~~~
Today I bought Ninja Gaiden III off of Virtual Console. I've actually never played the game and I am very excited to cry and piss and moan while playing it because, after playing it for 15 minutes before I had to go to work, I could only manage to get to the second half of level two. Fucking Tecmo and their ridiculously hard games.
There's a reason I haven't played the new Ninja Gaiden and that is because I know how hard the originals are and I don't feel like fucking crying in 3D. Crying in 2D is tough enough.
~~~~~~~~~
For anyone that got to the end, I have a question of beardly proportions. I have some semblance of a beard going on and I am giving you, the reader, some options as to what you, the reader, think I, the writer, should do with it.
A) Just go all Grizzly Adams with it
2) Shave it so I look like a 14 year old instead of a 17 year old
c) Make it a Goat
D) Grow a 'Stache
5) Leave the burns, chop the rest

Forgetting Sarah Marshall and other movies
Quick post but everyone should watch the trailer for Forgetting Sarah Marshall because it is going to be one of the funniest movies of the year. It stars Jason Segel and Kristen Bell. Jason Segel is also known as the drummer from Freaks and Geeks, the creepy boyfriend from Undeclared and that guy from How I Met Your Mother and Knocked Up. Kristen Bell is Veronica Mars and quite possibly the most attractive movie/TV actress ever. Anyway, watch the trailer. This should be a great movie.
Also, for anyone who's keeping score of good movies, I think Strange Wilderness is going to be very funny. It should be in the same vein as Grandma's Boy as it appears that similar people are at the helm. It's got those guys from Sandler movies in bigger roles and it also stars Steve Zahn which is kinda good. He's pretty funny I guess. Also, Kevin Heffernan is in it too.
Speaking of Heffernan and thus, Broken Lizard, apparently Broken Lizard (Supertroopers, Beerfest) is in production for their next movie, the Slammin' Salmon, which looks like its a boxing movie. Should be awesome.

Imoscar.com and other things, like how Juno's fucked (this time, not literally)
The Oscar nominations have been released. Go check them out if so wish than come back and read my whopping one comment that I care about.
Did you read them?
No? Whatever...
Juno is nominated for Best Picture and, much like Little Miss Sunshine before it, a bunch of indie scene kids are going to get all excited and than will be all mad when it doesn't win shit. Of course, the big difference between Juno and Little Miss Sunshine (at least for me) is that I actually enjoyed Juno and thought Little Miss Sunshine was too much about 'Holy shit it's Steve Carell! He was the 40-year old virgin! And he has a beard!' than the actual movie. Although, the more I think about it, I think Judd Apatow is a cancer on the small indie movies of the world, because part of my attraction to Juno was 'Holy shit it's Michael Cera! He was the awkward kid in Superbad! And he's wearing track shorts!' but I actually enjoy Cera's subtle acting talent than Carell's obnoxious unfunny schtick (which only really works on the Office and the Daily Show). Also, Juno gains points for having Jason Bateman, who needs to act in more things because the man is damn good when dealing with dramatic turns and comedic timing.
But anyway, I would love to see Juno win Best Picture and Ellen Page get Best Actress, but that probably isn't happening because the Academy is still a bunch of people with different film tastes than my own.
Anyway, here are my Best Picture Nominations for 2007.
Knocked Up
Juno
Live Free or Die Hard
Superbad
TMNT
Sweeney Todd
Let the debate (if anyone cares) begin. People might gawk at my list, but this is my personal list, so I really don't need anything to back it up. I'm going to back it up anyway.
Knocked Up was, in my opinion, the perfect amount of heart and dick and fart jokes to make it hysterical without making it stupid.
Juno was one of those heartwarming movies with superb acting, great direction and a lot of slightly out of place 80s' references.
Live Free or Die Hard was Bruce fuckin' Willis kicking ass and taking names. Also, Justin Long brought superb comic relief while Kevin Smith did a damn fine cameo. Olyphant was a passable villain and my only complaint about the film.
Superbad was Superbad, everyone should know that. It gets an award for being the gayest movie I have ever seen. Somehow, that's a compliment.
TMNT really only has any right being there because this my list and for some reason that movie made me smile all gawky and awkward and happy like I did throughout all of Clerks II. What can I say, the Turtles rule.
Sweeney Todd almost made me do the whole TMNT/Clerks II thing, but I really don't like Tim Burton but I have to begrudgingly respect him for this, Pee Wee's Big Adventure and, inadvertenly, Batman Begins. Johnny Depp made me proud (like it matters) and Helena Bonham Carter did not make me want to slap her bitch-ass across the face, which is a plus. Also, Rickman was in it and fucking a, Rickman was Hans fucking Gruber AND the Metatron AND Snape. Mad propz, yo.

Its Still Alive
In one of my typical impulse midnight showings, I went to see Cloverfield last night.
For anyone that has followed the odd evolution of me writing on the internet (Random Websites->Xanga->LiveJournal->Here), you have probably heard me list the obnoxious amount of movies I have seen at midnight. For the unaware, here is a brief history.
It all began with Star Wars Episode 2 in 8th grade where I went with my college age brother because he has seen every Star Wars since the re-release on opening day and his friends were all busy. It then continued with Star Wars Episode 3 for pretty much the exact same reasons.
In the ensuing time, I proceeded to see Harry Potter 4, X-Men 3, Superman Returns, Pirates 2, TMNT, Spider-Man 3, Transformers, Harry Potter 5 and now, Cloverfield. That adds up to11 different movies I have seen at midnight (or in two rare cases, at 10 PM the night before they came out). In total, 3 of them have been on a weak impulse.
Cloverfield was one of those movies.
Cloverfield also happened to be the most intense and unsettling cinema experience I have been privy to. The combination of the shaky handheld camera, the lighting and the monster made it one of the creepiest spectacles I have ever seen on film. I must tell everyone to avoid waiting for DVD as I believe this movie deserves to be seen on the big screen.
In my opinion, this is the new definitive Godzilla-ish monster movie. Its Blair Witch meets Godzilla. Its Lost meeting that fucked up love child. Its an hour and a half thrill ride that takes little time to pause once it starts moving.
Hands down, its the best movie of the year...but remember, this is January 18th. We got a lot of year left. And The Dark Knight, The Pineapple Express, Iron Man and a new Star Trek movie.

On the 6th day of Rock Band
On the 6th day of Rock Band my bandmates gave to me 6 handjobs a-coming, 5 Star Pieces, Super Mario Galaxy, 3 TVs, Super Mario Bros 3 and an announcement on DLC.
Pardon the filthy handjob comment, I watched Rushmore tonight and basically that movie is all about handjobs. Its really an amazing film and I recommend everyone watches it...and then talk to me about the significance of handjobs in the movie. It actually does seem to have some thematic correlation to the entire story.
Anyway, Super Mario Galaxy is still pimp. I've got 37 stars currently (in a row?!?) and Lauren is currently playing and she has 18 stars. It is simply amazing. I was mesmerized by jumping around a little spaceship and flying through the gravity around it for about 10 minutes and then I blew up some trash. Its the shit.
I'm kind of glad Brawl was delayed so I had the opportunity to bask in this perfect successor to Super Mario 64.
Now for an addendum to my Metroid Prime 3 review. The entire game was fucking fantastic up until I realized it suffers from the occasional Nintendo plight of "Well, the game's almost over, I guess you have to backtrack and find some random items." Needless to say, the game has been shelved until I get bored and decide to find the 5 (out of 9) energy cells I need to get to get to the final area. It obviously suffers from Metroid Prime syndrome. Basically, keep the player occupied until he gets near end game and than throw some arbitrary collection at him. Consider my original Metroid Prime 3 review docked a half point.

13 Days Til Rock Band
I sit here at my place of work with just under 13 days until Rock Band comes out.
As most of you might be aware, I am just a little bit excited for this game.
As a treat to all of my reading faithful, I will post once every day until the game comes out. The post might not be anything about Rock Band (it probably will) but I will write something everyday until the game comes out.
So from November 7th until just before the clock strikes midnight and closes out November 19th, be prepared.
So anyway, Rock Band has done some cool things before it has even come out. For one, it has gotten me into Rush. Tom Sawyer is an amazing fucking song. I always liked YYZ in GH2 and have never really hated on Rush. I knew Neil Peart was a great drummer and that, according to Dave the Lighting Guy in Orgazmo, Geddy Lee is 'the best bass player ever'. It wasn't until I played Tom Sawyer with the Stephen Rockers at Rock Band Tour Philly that I truly realized how awesome this band is. I can't wait to play Tom Sawyer a lot and attempt to beat the song on Expert on drums.
Super Mario Galaxy is sneaking up on me. Its also not receiving the credit from me it deserves. I've put Rock Band on this outrageous pedastal when the game that is being compared to Super Mario Bros 3 just kind of chills waiting for me to be like, "Oh shit, that came out today. I guess I'll buy it. *shrug*"
I've yet to read a negative thing about Mario Galaxy and I hurriedly downloaded Super Mario Bros 3 on Virtual Console to get myself mentally prepared. While I am saddened by the lack of Tanooki Suit, I'm joyous for the 3D Fire Flower and the various other power ups. I am currently planning on watching the Wizard at some point in preparation. I could always do some weird shit and look at pictures of Rilo Kiley and then feel really awkward when I watch the Wizard and Jenny Lewis appears in all her tomboy-prepubescent manner. Oh, and apparently there's some fucked up date rape video where Fred Savage kills DJ from Full House. Chalk that up there with Ryan Reynolds being 12 years old with a drunk mom in a Canadian after school special.
Steve Rock (Sly Rocktar of Stephen Rockers fame) tried to talk me into getting Call of Duty 4 because apparently the game just totally rapes Halo 3. All the hype I've read points to this statement being true, but I just can't bring myself to buying another first person shooter, considering I barely play Halo 3 right now and haven't even beaten campaign (its not that it was hard or anything, I just don't care. If I sit down to play Halo 3, its usually for multiplayer). Also, I'm already overwhelmed by games coming out. I've gone over it in the past. This month is fucking packed. And there's already at least 3 games that I can think of that are already out that I really want to buy. This is going to be the best offseason of gaming ever for me because I'll probably have the likes of Mass Effect, Zack and Wiki, Assassin's Creed and NiGHTS to keep my busy. Although Brawl comes out in February and Mario Kart Wii comes out in Spring...
What the fuck! Is there even an offseason anymore? I need an offseason! How the fuck else am I going to keep up with gaming.
Oh yea, that span of 2-3 years when the next generation of systems come about and everything is dead...
