Retro Review #24: Community Season 1


It took me forever to discover the joys of this show. It was only after I heard that the Cougar Town writers decided to put Danny Pudi into the background and the Community writers put Busy Phillips and Dan Byrd as extras. Now that I watch Community, I probably enjoy it more than Cougar Town, although Cougar Town is still fuck off funny.

Captain America: The First Avenger - Critiqued and Shit


All these Marvel movies are pretty fuckin' awesome, some better than others, and this one is great, which was good for me because I expected it to be a piece of shit. I really did, and now I don't know what I was worried about. But I will be worried again when it comes time for The Incredible Hulk sequel. Anyhow, with The Avengers currently shooting and in full swing, this isn't just a movie that tides us over until it gets here and has it's own story to tell, complete with Iron Man's dad.

The Dark Knight Rises in my Pants


When I first heard it, I hated the name. I thought it should follow suit with the other two having different names. But I have to say, it doesn't make me any less excited. As more new details arise, I find myself looking forward to this even more. I'm not sure if it's more or less than I was before The Dark Knight came out, but it is a shit-load more than when Batman Begins graced us. This time I have a permanent boner.

Retro Review #23: The Dark Knight


This be my favourite movie. Closely followed by Inception and Blood Diamond. Because Christopher Nolan is fucking brilliant and Leo is dreamy. But anyway, when I read in about 2006 or something that Heath Ledger would play the Joker I thought, wha? But little did I know, he would win an Oscar for it, posthumously, and it would go on to make over a billion at the box office. It also should have at least been nominated for Best Picture, but fucking wasn't. At least it won a prestigious Scream Award.
