I made it to the Full  House theme before bowing out. I'm sure it's purposefully awful, but there's also like an earnestness in how bad it is that's kind of compelling. I "get you" jorn, but I just can't do it. AV CLUB also posted a youtube link to a 9-minute loop someone made of the breakdown in the Spindoctor's song Two Princes. Same thing - awful yet compelling.

I have no idea what just happened, but it was entirely torturous.  In its defense, I did NOT listen to the whole thing, so maybe it gets rad at some point, but not the parts I heard...

Yeah, I'm gonna have to ask you to keep your recommendations to yourself? Mkay?

Although, I do sort of love the cover along with just how horrible it was... sort of like a performance art piece.... like that guy that played one note on a piano for like 8 hours....

Change of heart!  What else can you recommend, J-Pets*?

And I LOVED Dredd!  I've seen it a heck of lot of times and like it every time!  It's one of those movies where it's way better than not watching anything at all and staring off into space, but at the same time it's not much more taxing than staring off into space.  I did really enjoy it.



*J-Pets is another cool nickname for you, along with "Shtoops", "Mongo", and "The Tan, Hatted Man from Manhattan."

Have you guys seen Dredd? It's an honest-to-blog good movie. The plot is basically that Bones from NuTrek teams up with Juno's friend to fight Queen Cersei and Avon Barksdale. First movie I've started and finished in one sitting in quite a while.

I kinda hate to recommend this, but fuck it. This is an hour-long mashup that is simultaneously hilarious (to me) while also being totally irritating and occasionally tortuous, and sometimes sort of amazing. I think it's some kind of commentary on pop culture? Especially '90s nostalgia? But I'm not sure? All I know is that I have an all new appreciation for "All Star".

I had a rad Action Team co-starring dream this afternoon.

Me and Jael were taking a test in this "Learning Annex" type of board room with a bunch of other people. The rest of the gang, specifically Jawn and Elrick, (but vaguely everyone else) got the room and were waiting for us to play board games and rpgs. So there was all this pressure to hurry up and finish the test. Jael finished before me, and I was having an anxiety attack because high school-era Elrick (hat and pony-tail) and Jawn were sitting right behind me, with their games in a stack, waiting for me to finish.

I wish I remembered the test, because it was so convoluted and weird, but ALMOST doable. I was one of the last people taking the test, and I feared the teacher wasn't going to let the gang stay to play games, so I was even MORE anxious. Then it ended when I realized I was sleeping and didn't have to finish the stupid test. I woke up, SO RELIEVED.

Unrelated: Just had a run in Payday that is worthy of the blog. 1.2M cleared in net pay and over 500k in xp in a single run, lawls. (Firestarter after stealthing a jewelry store the mission previous). Guy on the team had a saw for max loot on the bank at the end. Crazy.

Ugh. WHY!? For an ironic trip to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters, with a pit stop for a little blue milk along the way? Maybe they'll have to rescue Boba Fett from the sarlacc pit since he's the only man who get can them out of whatever galactic jam they find themselves in? Is Luke going to teach his kids to shoot womp rats in the old T16 in a way that will evoke maximum nostalgia?

Or maybe they just need to pick up the still-smoking skeletons of Aunt Beru and Uncle Jim Nabors (I can't remember his real name). Actually if Han insisted they mount them on the Millenium Falcon it'd be pretty rad.

I'm sorta like that with comics too sometimes, burning through dialog and not really getting the complete picture, but I just gotta recommend this set because so far these books are REALLY good. You can drop the minimum and still get a few fantastic books. Or not! It's just such an insane deal money wise it blows me away.

There was already a picture from turkey or wherever they shot the tatotieen stuff with JJ there, so enjoy!

That's an intriguing bundle for sure... although I have so little time and so much other stuff to read, I'm a little hesitant to pull the trigger. I'm an idiot at reading comic books anyway. I read all the words while barely looking at the pictures and then wonder why I had so much trouble following the story. * idiot *

I'm tentatively hopeful about S7ar Wars. I mean, I want to believe again, but Abrams seems like a dude who excels at pastiche and individual moments more than being an actual storyteller. I hope it's great, I don't think it will be as bad as the prequels, but in my gut I think it's going to end up like the Marvel movies and be fun to watch while browsing the Internet on your phone, but forgettable. I want to be wrong!

I hope they skip fucking Tatooine for once. That was not a place we needed to visit in 5/6 of the Star Wars films.

The new Humble Bundle for Image comics is KILLER. The only book I'm familiar with other than Walking Dead is LAZARUS and it's a fantastic comic. I recently bought issue one on comixology and was about to buy the rest but lo and behold here's the first collection for $1+ (I went $10 to unlock the higher tier titles other than Walking Dead - read a bunch already so don't need those volumes). Holy shit, get it for Lazarus if nothing else. (It's a dystopian near future post economic collapse- rad book!)

I'm actually excited for the new Star Wars.

I dig the new Star Tracks and fuck ya Larry Kasdan.

Anyone up for Heisty heisterson good times?

| If only they were drawn as ponies too

Princesses Anna and Elsa from Frozen would be good contenders too as they are both socially isolated, awkward shut-ins. I can also tell you with certainty that Anna is D2F.

Too awesome!

Smashmouth! Hahaha. "And follow it up with an ice-cold Mountain Dew, so refreshing!"

Oh man, I wish I was in LA in June to go to this -- Steven Seagal marathon, hosted by that film critic Vern. This is the first time he's ever appeared in public, nobody knows what he looks like or anything.
