Emergency Double Postage: Party Down Season 2

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.

Sunday Night Special

Fucking school nights.

Afternoon/evening, bloggers, it's GT here again with more things to waste your time (and on a Sunday, even!). Quick weekend update... Kicked it off Friday with a lovely dance party over at the Onyx house. It was "future" themed but fuck that, honestly who gets dressed up just to drink and dance anymore? Girls do. That's who, you stinky bastard.

Anyway. Saturday was more low key, started playing some SF, moved onto cleaning before heading out to try and get a FREE COMIC at FREE COMIC DAY. Except, I picked the wrong shop to go to and didn't have time to make it across town to the other. Fuck. Linked up with the Girlfriend afterwards and we enjoyed some delightfully tacky Chinese buffet food (mmm all you can eat Sushi for some reason) and headed home. With no real idea as to what to do with the rest of the night, we relaxed and digested while surfing the channels before we stumbled upon these gems... :

Some of you may remember that hot garbage flick that came out a year or two back entitled "Prom Night." Well, that was a remake of a 1980 film starring Jamie Lee Curtis... and this is the sequel (there are 4 total Prom Night movies) starring... no one. Rather than have a horror film based in reality, this shit's all about supernatural things like ghosts and getting sucked into the chalkboard during detention. Real tight? Yeah, in a cult kinda way. It was way more fun than Pretty In Pink which is garbage anyway.

Speaking of garbage, we started flipping back and forth between PN2 (hell yeah) and

Let's be honest; Jack Black tries way too hard. The film itself is kinda cool in the way that these kids are so musically gifted (if that's actually them playing, which I'm pretty sure it is) but it crashes and burns in the funny department. I think I chuckled once or twice the entire time...

Aaaand I think I should be writing something, or .. working on a script or something. Here's a short list shit to just overload you with things to do.

And anything else I find in the Foreign section. Mindgame got me interested in checking out anime that isn't just made by Studio Ghibli.

Now, if you don't mind, I have to go re-install Windows 7. Fuck you, Genuine Advantage.
