Ha ha.

Okay, first off, I haven't finished the movie. Let's get that straight off the bat. Just the first 5 minutes of it, and I'm thinking that maybe drinking a third of a bottle of Jim Beam before hand wasn't the best Idea. I just finnished watching two assassin movies earlier tonight (You Shoot, I shoot, and Brother) and this is next on my queue. But, so far, great. I'm thinking precursorily that the "fiction" portion is realer than the "non-fiction" portion, and I'm loving the Belle and Sebastion music. On with the movie, after a piss.

This ends with her getting Aids or crabs or soemthing, right? Sorry, just thinking out loud, lol And nevermind about the third of Jim Beam, which has become, like I dunno, 6/14ths? This story doesn't need complete soberness to appreciate.

Aww man, I wish I had some buffalo wings, I think I could appreciate this *beep* more.

Ok, officially half a bottle of Jim Beam and I'm not impressed. Ha ha. Operating as movie critic parallel to the bulsh!t short sort story critics in the class, this is not my favorite movie of the night. Brother is still a better movie. *beep* lost the cap to my Jim Beam.

Alright, Giamatti's frickin hilarious, as he is in everhting that he does. Not a fan of Giamatti, I mean he's good but I don't watch all the *beep* he's done.

Alright, this sh!t's funny. I gotta admit. Other than that. Not great. This whole fiction being realer than nonfiction? I'm over that sh!t. And all that stuff about having to dig into the fantasy realm to pick up stuff that's more believeable than the real realm, that's stuff that I figured out in fourth grade reading Goosebumps and sh!t. Let's see how the rest of this turns out.

Gotta be truthful when I say that I am heartened to see Goodman and Giamatti are in this though.

Quackers.

Alright, at this point, I'm not sure how much I'm picking up and how much I'm not, but let me try and hang in there.

Alright. A triad on how selfish we all are. There. Is that about it? 'Sokay? I'm gonna lie down because I'm tired. 'Salright? I miss Futurama anyways.

Alrihght, so I'm thinking aqt about a quarter capacity, but let's deal with this while we still have time and it's fresh in my mind.

Life is funny, life is tragedy. Fiction is comedy. That's what the film maker was trying to convey, right? I didn't get it entirely from the feature. I thought it was all funny. Was that part of what he was trying to convey?

Annnnnnndddddd here's where my nihilism takes over. It was all bullsh!t, and not worth my time trying to decipher, though it was funny in parts, and I liked a few characters. That about sum it up for anyone?

LOL, I actually used triad instead of tirade, lmao. That's how drunk I was while watching this.

Today I am, but, getting drunk again.

All alcohol seems to do is slow down my cognitive capacity, and screw up my typing. I'm onna those drinkers with a writing problem. I was probably actually a bit harsher on this movie after I'd had a few.

It was better than I really expected. Although, it's themes were kinda plain and obvious, stuff I'd heard before. But I have a bit of respect for it. Acting was great, it was telling a story you don't see too often, and did it with a few chuckles. So it has to be respected for that.

I'm going to watch this movie tonight for the first time. Is it anything like Happiness?

Chris Marquette & Amber Tamblyn are the only Edward Cullen & Bella Swan to me
I worship the goddesses Brandi Ryan & Amber Tamblyn!
My #1 fave actor is an even tie between the amazing, hot, & phenominal Chris Marquette & Jared Leto.

... It gives hope to the idea that if you start off taking aim at the world with the aid of liquor, then eventually you will gain a small following!

Man, I miss drinking and posting.
