Hey, stop wearing white!
It's also time to get serious about some Oscar contenders. This is my favorite season!
Also I have the English version of spell check so if I spell color as it should be, it tells me it should be colour. How freaking annoying is that? Whatever, get on with it. Here's an early score for Best Actor in a comedy or dance sequence: Paul Giamatti in American Splendor. At turns disgusting, brave and humane, his portrayal of comic great Harvey Pekar is a don't miss. Everyone's raving about this picture, so I am not going to waste time telling you what you already know.
But I will chime in with a video pick of the week: THE REAL CANCUN!
Ok, so I am like everyone else and totally fried on these reality tv shows. And if someone can explain what the fuck is going on in that Paradise Motel, you win a big phat kiss from me. They vote people off and then bring them back on?!? Uh, yeah, that's reality. I kick roommates out of my... uh...hotel...room and then invite them back to live with me some more and maybe vote me out of my...uh...hotel room.
That show sucks ass.
But a fantastic rental that has a lot of great ass sucking in a good way is The Real Cancun. Like you, I was also too embarrassed to go see this movie in the theater. Which is where the DVD comes in. Way in. It is so great. Jorell (who was also Superman's father I think?) is awesome. He's always there when his best friend is trying to score with ladies, thus killing his chances. He just kind of sits like a brown mound of jello in the pool (in his cute big boy tee) as his friend, Paul, is attempting to kiss his ladyfriend. Jorell! GET OUT OF THE POOL, MAN! GET OUT OF THE POOL! It is so funny. Predictably the guy who has never had alcohol and is kind of freakishly angry and says "I wanna see booty" all the time, takes his first sips of tequila. He becomes the really angry and aggressive guy trying to "see some booty" all the time, but weirdly becomes the life of the party. He also lands a real emotional connection in a woman from Mexico who has given me the all time best pick up line ever. And it goes something like this:
"Hey! Have you ever had the bath in the ocean? Naked? Me NEITHER!"
Thank you Hoolia.
Thank you.
Don't wait, the extras are great! Including testimonials and some other crap. Oh and an extended wet t-shirt contest, which is thankfully excluded from the movie along with a bitchy cat fight between two people who I didn't even realize were in the cast.
I am going to make some big boy tees that say "Jorell, Get Out of the Pool." Send me a check for $15 and maybe I will send you one.
