Yeeeeah buddy.
So as I was settling into a lovely salad with asian sesame dressing, broccoli and pea pods accompanied by a 22 of St. Pauli Girl lager (I know, I know, but it was super cheap) I decided to catch up on Party Down's second season (2 episodes so far). Check the link for the summary/info on the show.
Though the first episode back meant sadness for yours truly due to the unexplained absence of Jane Lynch's character Constance (easily the best part of the first 8 episodes of season 1), it wasn't too bad. One of those creepy brothers that sometimes makes an appearance in Always Sunny in Philadelphia guest-starred as some satanic metal rocker (the easiest genre of anything to parody, as even when these people are serious, they're a fucking joke) who is tired of rocking out and living in the limelight, switching places with Roman the nerdy nerd staffer on the catering crew. Hilarity kind-of ensues as he fails to land some poonani with loads of fans due to his impossible-to-hide creepy side. K, so, neat. The replacement they found for Constance is that actress from Will & Grace, Megan Mullally. She's the one with the super high pitched voice always chipping in with unwanted stories about her ex-husbands or her kid. The problem being? These aren't funny, and it's more just tiresome. Oh yeah, and Henry's love interest Casey shows up again although they've both moved on... big surprise? NAAAH
Episode 2, however, is awesome. It's not just because there's X-Men issue #4 in it, not just because Casey lands a big roll, but because J.K. Simmons comes back to reprise his role as the hard-ass film exec who hates everything and curses like the man I hope to be one day. That's right, boys and girls, this isn't the same Simmons you say playing that caring daddy in Juno. Now, Alec over at A-Ton Lifestyle has always told me that he can't get enough of Will Smith's acting jobs (and who can blame him? The dude does good work), sort of.. a man crush type-a thing. Well, Simmons is one of those for me. The guy played J.J. Jameson for Christ's sake! The minute he rolled back through I was pumped, and he didn't disappoint. Except... there was one thing that really made this episode sad for me:
Now, being a straight male, I understand my friends may make fun of me for being pissed of but WHAT THE FUCK is that hairdo? Seriously? At least try and make her look attractive y'all...
Time for some green tea ice cream and I might just settle into writing a little bit.
CORKSCREW BLOW,
