eastbound and down (2009, hbo)
Have you seen eastbound and down ? It's a newish half hour comedy on HBO. Before I go on, have you seen the other one with Max Fisher? One of my favorite comedians Zack ReallyLongGreekName is in it, and it's about a writer in NYC who becomes a private detective. I've only seen a few minutes but it seems alright. Anyway, I don't have cable so I watched Eastbound and Down on DVD. If you've seen Pineapple Express, then you'd recognize some of the people in it. It's kind of like, whoa aren't rednecks ridiculous? With lots of that Sarah Silverman racism/sexism/homophobic type comedy. Shocking, I guess. Like, laughing a lot but also saying "Oh, man" or "Oh my god" a lot too. I can't remember if you like this type of comedy so I'm not 100% recommending it, but lord, did it make the crowd laugh. Then more Friday Night Lights which I'm not as into anymore, but TV habits die hard. Tonight I'm going to see Where The Wild Things Are. At work today I listened to all the little snippets and interviews and reviews about it on NPR. You know you can stream NPR and make your own playlist with just the segments you want to listen to? I can't decide if this is a blessing or a curse? But I did it. I mean, I do it.

i don't really like that kind of humor. my name is earl is one reruns and i watch a little but don't love it. pineapple express was not that funny and i started to watch the fist food way and stopped because i didn't like it. does that make me humorless? i keep trying that kind of humor but i'm not sold.
ReplyDeletei didn't know that about npr. i'll ahve to check it out. fresh air had a lot of where the wild things are stuff. how was it? i wanted to go yesterday because it's $6 movie day, but i went to a pumpkin carving event instead. it was totally worth it.
I didn't make it to WTWTA. My friend's car's gas gauge is broken and so we ran out of gas on the way. My new roommate drove my car for the first time and saved the day with a gas can from out yard. Still didn't make the movie but it was an adventure all the same. I like knowing that she can drive my car too because although I love driving and I'm thrilled with having a car, nothing is the same as a volvo. I miss my volvo. Did you know that in Swedish volvo means "I roll over"? I learned that from public radio.
ReplyDeleteit's hard to believe that volvo is swedish for "i roll over" but NPR never lies.
