Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler So what are you watching tonight?

I bought the audio CD of Hilarious and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only have I always liked Louis C.K., I also got the CD to help make my drive to California seem a little shorter when I go back to visit family. It worked!

Ok I’ve watched a lot of stuff over the last couple months and not posted any reviews but I now have to break my silence because I just watched “The Green Hornet (2011) on Blu-ray. Please save the wear-and tear on your player not to mention the environment (electricity, shipping, packaging etc. . .) and don’t watch (read support) it. How the hell it got 44% from the critics and 50% from the audience at Rotten Tomatoes is beyond me. The only remotely interesting thing in this movie is the bad guy other than that it’s a total waste of talent.

If you want a move with a green hero try “The Muppet Movie,” far superior in every detail. Hell even Miss Piggy is better looking than Cameron Diaz these days, which reminds me I didn’t see it in 3D. However, even double D (no we don’t actually get any of those) fanservice wouldn’t keep this piece of crap afloat in the toilet.

Better yet you could just order the old TV series off Amazon (Batman was better IMO) and then you would at least have 13 hours of something that was moderately entertaining.

BTW skip “Gulliver’s Travels (2010) too unless you are just a huge Jack Black fan.

A Steaming Pile of Cinema, eh, Dean?

I like Christoph Waltz, but I still didn't see anything interesting about his character in The Green Hornet. For me, the best part of the movie is the cup of coffee.

Oh, and I just watched True Grit. I enjoyed it. Makes me wish I had some character.

The most interesting thing for me was the woman he woke up with, at least we got a shot of her in a bra though I’ve never met a woman who wears a bra to bed. Guess I lead a sheltered life.

Curse you PG-13 rating!

*shakes fist at sky*

Funny guy. You try the new comedy streams on Pandora. Love it. Who needs satellite radio now? I even have the paid stream, worth the $32/year.

Also, I'd recommend giving a listen to comedy podcasts. Marc Maron's WTF has some great interviews w/ Gallagher, Carlos Mencia, Amy Poehler, Dave Attell, Robin Williams and a bunch of others. Doug Benson's Doug Loves Movies is also good. He's the guy who did Super High Me and Marijuanalogues. Bill Burr's rants (Bill's Monday Morning Podcast) is also quite amusing as he rants about Boston and all kinds of East Coast stuff. I have become quite the comedy nerd.

DOA: Dead or Alive

It was as crappy as I was expecting. Still, it was nice to see Lloyd's crush from Undeclared has done something since then. Looking her up on IMDB (Sarah Carter), she's done quite a lot of stuff I'm just not interested in seeing. I guess she's in that Falling Skies series now. Anyone think that's worth watching?

Oh, yeah, I also watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I hope Michael Bay hates himself. Even with all of the eye and ear candy, still hard to sit through. I fell asleep during part of it.
