Hey, do you enjoy movies?

Because if you do, this may be the funniest thing you've ever seen.
My good buddy [livejournal.com profile] uterdic hipped me to this, and I'm telling everyone in the whole world.

Be sure to let it load all the way, because if it stops to buffer you may miss some of the genius.



You're welcome.



In the mean time, Criminal Minds is an enormous time burglar. I'll be going to bed early tonight so I can get up at a reasonable hour and get some podcast editing done tomorrow.

Hoping to go see my friend from work in a marimba recital at U of M. Not sure if I'll get to go as I may not have a ride. But I'm hoping so since this guy is both great personally and talented musically. Plus, he's a Simpsons fan.

That was freakin' awesome. Thanks.

I know, right?
I was very impressed.

I lose a lot of time to Criminal Minds - especially when it's on both A&E and Ion. Then I can flip back and forth to whichever episode I've seen fewer times.

I'm sick to death of Law & Order, and my friend hipped me to Criminal Minds. Didn't take long at all for me to get sucked in. Now I'm DVRing them 4 eps at a time. That Matthew Gray Gubler is yummy.

That was freaking amazing!

Also:
- Female Lead totally looks like chick from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think that's what they were going for.
- one of the locations in the short (the T intersection near the water) looked so much like a place in Saskatoon that it jarred me.

I have no idea where it was shot. But lots of people shoot in Canada so it would make sense to me.

The actress you refer to is Kate Winslet, who is amazing. (not the one in this trailer, but from Eternal Sunshine) If you have not seen her debut in Heavenly Creatures, I would ask that you do so at your earliest opportunity.

Kate Winslet? No way! she's a million miles away from the shitty acting in Titanic; I didn't even recognise her! I suppose good writing makes a difference. I should check out Heavenly Creatures... Thanks

Well, a couple of chimps could have played those roles. It's a shame they had to waste so many great actors: DiCaprio, Winslet, Bates, Zane, even Bill Paxton was wasted on that crap shack.

Kind of like when you saw Butterfly Effect the first time you spent half the movie just wrapping your head around the idea that Ashton Kutcher could actually ACT. Dude!

Maybe. I haven't actually seen it.
I don't care for that kid.

I'd much rather see a movie starring Danny and/or Chris Masterson. Those guys are adorable.

Excellent!

That was hilarious! Yep, this is pretty spot-on when it come to the conventions for many of these trailers. Some of these trailers are soooooo cliched that I find that it makes me not want to see the movie just out of the spite, even if I hear from others that the movie is good. One cliche they didn't use is when they cut off the scene just before somebody swears. They act like you are supposed to be so impressed that you're going to see somebody use language you've heard over and over since middle school.

In the mean time, Criminal Minds is an enormous time burglar.

Tell me about it! But I find I'm helpless to fight this compulsion to watch CM.

I agree about the language, but I think it makes up for it with "It's not entirely serious...because we laughed just then." ;-]

Catch Phrase!

LOL, how funny that I should hear from you. I just sent you an Email.

It really is every Oscar winner of the last fifteen years...

Yes, and hilarious.
