Last night I watched a Morgan Spurlock production called What Would Jesus Buy. I will say it was no Super Size Me, but then again how could it be. Super Size Me was a heavily fact driven documentary. Spurlock gave statistic after statistic and interviews with doctors and nutritionists. The man even went as far as to subject himself to a all Mcdonalds diet for 30 days, What Would Jesus Buy is different. Number one, Morgan is just the producer, he does no voice overs in this film, but you can see his handy work in the B role and graphics. Now this film does not lack finite evidence, I mean why would it change people if it didn’t have some truth to it. That said the man that this documentary follows is one of the greatest character actors I have seen. He isn’t insincere in what he believes and says but takes it to such a ridiculous level you will be hard pressed not to laugh. The overall jist of the film is to warn people of america’s consumerist ways, and expose big box stores for how they get their dirt cheap goods. I will say a lot of the information is stuff I had heard before, but watching the random interviews carries a certain weight that statistics can’t. As far as should you watch this? I would say if your looking for something out of your normal realm and want it to be infomative and halarious, I’ld say this is worth a spin. If you find yourself being as nerdy as I am, I’ld watch it to chalk it down so you can later attest, I’ve seen that.
I’m sure we’ve all been there, the smell of a mixture of cotton candy and urine, the spastic lights causing seizures for small children, being heckled by the town drunk from a trap door bench, but what happens to our fair the other 51 weeks of the year. Well I visited the local Hydro fair grounds and found these beloved behemoths sitting unwanted and yearning for someone to help fade the paint on the outside of their unsecured seats. For those who are willing, they sit unattended and unsecured and waiting to be liberated. Will you set them free?
Some of you may know I have a slight attachment to a band by the name of MuteMath. Well as of late I have found it increasingly hard to find out what is going on with their new album. You, such as I, may have thought them to be on stranded on a dessert island or kidnapped by a crazed, icelandic, metal singer, but fear not I have proof they live and in true MuteMath fashion are finding their own path to making this new record.
Last night a friend, from the aforementioned photos, and I we pulled over by a highway patrolman. Sean who was driving was asked to leave the vehicle and sit in the patrol car. I later find out that we were pulled over due to crossing the fog line once, which that being said I think three patrol cars were a little excessive for something 90% of drivers do on a daily basis. For those of you who hadn’t seen that, your welcome.
These are some of my best friends. We had a wonderful evening of food, cards, and searching for answers. And for those of you that obsess about “The Cheesecake Factory,” eat your desserted hearts out.
P.S. the above couple I affectionately refer to as my hippie friends, notice their excessive use of technology tsk tsk.
* stop watching previews for this movie. They will only ruin it*
Well Hancock, if you’re looking for an entertaining movie with enough plot to stay interesting and enough action to stay engaging, then you have met your match. Once the movie ends however, if you find yourself analyzing your movie going experience, you may not be fully satisfied. I found that I can’t fully judge a movie immediately after I’ve seen it. It needs time marinate. The movie definitely has some twists and turns and does a good job at executing them. There are just some of the aspects of the movie that feel downplayed but become important. I guess all that I’m pointing out is that you should go into the movie to be entertained and not expect a masterpiece. With that mentality you won’t be disappointed. If you decide to analyze the movie you’ll end up a little nauseous later, and demand a few explinations.
So wether or not you have any clue about graffiti or street art in general, you have to have an appreciation for this. It is a little weird, but could be one of the most fantastic things I’ve see in awhile.
I’m walking. I never thought I would want to do active things, they were just always something to do, but now I can’t stop myself. Just last night I tried to convince all my friends to take over all the stalls at the car wash and hold a car washing race. I know what your thinking sounds like a porno script gone horribly wrong, but I’m telling you I just want to bask in the ability to walk. Also I’ll let you know if the 2008 car wash championship happens.
This video makes me want to start collecting the heads of mascots, by whatever means the Coreys deem necessary.
