The Friggin' Five

It is finally friggin’ Friday and I finally have five friggin’ things to celebrate this week. Why is everything “friggin’” this week? I’ll tell you why when I’m friggin’ done writing the friggin’ post.

Up friggin’ first is the official start to awards season. Some people think the holiday season starts after Thanksgiving, but not for me. The real holiday season doesn’t start for me until they start announcing all the annual awards. With both the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild awards being announced this week, I am feel like a little boy on Christmas morning again. I love seeing the nominated movies and making my pics. Just you wait for the Oscars!

What more can you friggin’ want than that? Well how about an incredibly hilarious and inventive mash-up of Doctor Who and Star Wars? A co-worker shared this clip with me earlier this week and I was so geeked out that I couldn’t even speak. Watch and learn.

Now that you have seen the geekiest thing to ever hit the planet, let’s talk about the friggin’ weather. I friggin’ love the cold and I am super excited about the impending snow. There is nothing better than getting all wrapped up in a hat, scarf, gloves and wool coat to head out into the brisk wintery weather. Who is with me?

Wow…that was friggin’ awkward. Something else awkward is the friggin’ awful film abomination of Yogi Bear. I don’t even need to see it to know how painful it must be sit through. Whoever thought of doing that should be taken outside and tanned. The person who made this parody of that movie deserves to win a friggin’ award. That makes the Yogi Bear alternative ending one of the five this week.

That ended friggin’ well, because it put us all out of our misery. Our friggin’ final of the friggin’ five is a bit of a confession on my part. I love Christmas music. There. I wrote it. All day long I have been listening to it and it just makes me smile. My favorite albums are Charlie Brown, Ella Wishes You A Swingin’ Christmas and Bing Crosby’s Merry Christmas. I know that this makes me the subject of much shame, but that is the friggin’ truth.

You friggin’ made it. Now you get to know why this was the friggin’ five. It was the friggin’ five because I like the word friggin’. Just deal. Have a great weekend friends, but first share your five with the rest of us or we will feel friggin’ left out.

Movie Trailer Explosion!

If you’re anything like me, you looooove movies. Good ones, bad ones, in between ones. Show me a drama film, an action flick, sci-fi, horror, porno or just about anything else, and I’m happy. I’ll even watch a Sandra Bullock chick-flick as long as there’s a cute boy in it (like Ryan Reynolds!). Drop me into a freezing dark theater with a few friends or family members and I’m happy. Stick some duct tape over the mouths of everyone else in the theater and ask them to stop crunching their damn popcorn and nacho chips so loudly and I’m ecstatic. Ban cell phones from the theater and I’ll splooge a mess of happiness all over the place.

Eww. How did I get to that point? Seriously, it’s like every time I start to babble, it always ends with semen, feces or fisting. Gross!

So anyway! The second best thing about going to the movies? The movie trailers! But what about when those trailers just look TERRIBLE? Take the next two trailers, for example. Who thought it was a good idea to make a Yogi Bear movie? Yogi wasn’t even that good when he was a cartoon … and Tom Cavanagh! What have you sunk to? You were great in Ed! Why can’t you land a better gig than this?

Next up we have another movie that should never have been made: Titanic II!  When we last left the Titanic, that giant mess of CGI had sunken to the bottom of the ocean, Leo died (oops, spoiler alert…), and Kate turned all old and wrinkly.  But 100 years after the first maritime disaster, the Titanic II is setting sail.  It’s staffed with a bunch of F-list actors and shitty special effects  … can’t wait!

And then sometimes Hollywood gets it right.  I’m talking about Sucker Punch. It’s directed by the porno director of Watchmen and 300, Zach Snyder and stars Vanessa Hudgens, Jena Malone, Jon Hamm, among others.  I have no idea what it’s really about, where it takes place, or what the fuck is going on, but I know this:  It looks eff’n amazing.  Check it out:

And then there are the trailers that you don’t see in the theater.  You’re sitting at your computer late at night, surfing YouTube (cuz porn gets boring after a while) and you come across a video like Jane Austin Fight Club.  This is a movie that SHOULD get made.  Forget Yogi Bear, forget Titanic II.  Throw Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino into the director’s chair and watch the magic happen.

So would you watch a Jane Austin Fight Club movie?  Or does Yogi Bear or Titanic II float your boat?  What about Sucker Punch?  Or are you looking forward to another upcoming flick?  Munch (quietly!) on some popcorn and leave a comment!
