You can be my baby’s Mama, Tina Fey.

I’d like to let you know that I’ve changed my mind about the whole “girls not being funny” statement I made a while ago. I’ve been enlightened by a lady named Tina Fey. I’m sure you’ve heard of Mean Girls, well, she wrote that and we all know how hilarious it was. As amusing as that film was, I’ve discovered something much funnier: 30 Rock.

Tina Fey’s writing is hysterically funny, and that made me happy. Not just happy ’cause the show is hilarious, but because this woman is setting a new standard of how funny woman can be. I usually find female comedians to be drab, but Tina Fey is awesome. I love her writing, and I love her show. Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan are perfect too. 30 Rock is a show I think everybody should watch, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the other seasons when they come out. Awesome.

Hello interweb. Here’s a video I shot with my friends over the weekend. If you like it, please share it with your friends. Peace, baby.

“Let’s put a smile on that face.”

Ever since the passing of the great Heath Ledger I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, and my wait ended at midnight today, or yesterday, well, you know what I mean. The trailers and amount of hype for this film set the expectations really high for myself and other Batman aficionados. I’m not going to lie, I was only stoked to watch Heath Ledger in his critically acclaimed role as The Joker. This review won’t be too long ’cause I want you to see the film for yourself. I’m really only going to focus on one thing, and if you’re familiar with my blogs, you’ll know who/what that is.

Nolan made an amazing movie. The editing and the shots were gorgeous, and this allowed the film to flow with a smooth current that Nolan flawlessly organized. It’s really no surprise that the movie looks good though, we’re talking about Batman here. While watching the film, I was really interested in watching Mr. Ledger as The Joker. Even while watching the trailers, I had a hard time believing that the voice used was actually Heath Ledger’s. He was Australian-born, and we’ve all heard how he speaks in other films, but The Dark Knight really proved what Heath was capable of. The voice and the body language of Ledger’s Joker were what really sold it for me. Of course I was a little biased going into the movie knowing full well that Ledger would steal the show, but once the movie ended I knew that others would concur with my assumption if they didn’t before. I’m not going to spoil anything for anybody, but everything The Joker was involved in elicited an extreme response from the audience whether it was laughter or a simultaneous gasp. It was all golden and Oscar-worthy. There’s been word that Ledger might be nominated for a posthumous Oscar, and I say he deserves it. As far as my opinion goes, I wouldn’t want to ever try to fill the shoes of The Joker or any other super villain after Ledger’s performance. Ledger set the standards to a new height that a lot of actors won’t be able to hurdle. I can’t praise Ledger enough. He’ll always hold a spot in my heart, and I hope all who read this will go see The Dark Knight, for it’ll be the most fun you’ll have in a movie theatre this summer. Mark my words.

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me

I was driving home from work a few days ago and this song came on the radio. I usually hate the radio, but since my iPod croaked a few months ago and because I’m too cool for compact discs, the radio had to suffice. On this particular drive I was excited. This song I was listening to had this really fun vibe to it, and I found out later that the song was called “Summertime” by a group called “New Kids On The Block.” I was stoked with this song. After discussing the song with my friends I found out that not only were the guys in the “band” as old as dinosaurs, but Mark Wahlberg’s brother, Donnie, was part of the group. That made my day. Marky-Mark’s brother singing about girls on beaches sent me into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. “Christ,” I thought, “This is unreal.” To make matters even better, I watched the music video for the song, and it brought the whole experience full circle. It’s so “boy-bandish” it’s awesome. Mama Wahlberg must be stoked with her kids. I would be. Thank you Mrs. Wahlberg for getting it on and creating two of the coolest guys on this side of the Mississippi River.
