Badassery to the Max

So last night I finally saw Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. It was epic. Granted, the acting sorta sucked (Megan Fox really can't act), but it was still entertaining. I think my favorite parts of the film are the conversations between Shia LaBeouf with his parents, played by Kevin Dunn and Julie White (I mean besides every scene Optimus Prime is in).

I kind of wish we had a Jon Voigt appearance, but John Turturro was sufficient enough.

I don't know how I feel about the Transformers having legit personalities (the Twins anyone?)

And sorry to bust your bubble, but Peter Cullen, the long-time voice of Optimus also voices a very well known cartoon character: Eeyore. Yea, the donkey.

If you want to see a ton of shit blown up, and watch the sheer manpower of the U.S. Military and how extreme Badass Optimus Prime is, go see Fallen. If you don't, well sit at home and be pathetic.

Remake?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beastly_(film)

I don't think I like this idea...remaking a classic animated Disney film into a modern adaption with bad actors? Let's hope it's going to better than I think, but somehow, I doubt it.

Greatest Ab workout EVER

Tired of flabby abs? Fear not! I have a new workout for you. Go see the newly released Land of the Lost followed directly by The Hangover. My friend and I did a double feature last night of the two, and my stomach still hurts from laughing for 3+ hours. I thought both were ridiculously funny, to the point where I had tears shedding. I know a lot of people won't entirely love Land of the Lost like I did, but that's because people don't fully appreciate the genius that is the actor Danny McBride. Every single word he utters made me crack up. His character is exactly like his character Rico in Hot Rod and Kenny Powers in Eastbound and Down. Basically McBride has one character: Wicked Funny. Will Ferrell holds his own, but McBride just shines like a little star the entire movie. I cannot wait for him to star in a movie. 90+ minutes of DmB? Yes, Please!

I think most people will agree with me in saying that The Hangover was absolutely hysterical. I would even say Top 5 funniest movies ever (yeah I went there). It definitely holds against the super awesome Superbad and Pineapple Express (coincidence McBride is in both of those? I think not.) The character of Alan, played by Zach Galifianakis (Out Cold) is one of the funniest characters I have even seen onscreen. UHmazin. Sound it out. Emphasize the UH. You'll get it.
Every line in the film is awesome, every scene, every second. AHH!!! My friends and I are already planning a second viewing, it's that good. To quote a fellow filmgoer: You'll get a laughing hangover from this one. If you don't like joy and happiness, don't go.

And yes, we already memorized the song Stu plays on the piano.
