I've been wanting to see it, but I went in having my doubts...




fucking hilarious

lots of ham and cheese in this movie, but with just the right amount of that wonderful spicy mustard that is perfectly timed comedy. some really brilliant moments in the movie. I still think I would probably punch Ben Stiller in the nads if I ever met him, but this movie is a bit of a redemption. There's a lot that's not shown in the trailer that really make the movie....the media mogul for one thing....wow...other than the moments when he is talking to Ben Stiller's character's agent....you could almost never tell who it is playing him.

I would definitely recommend this movie. maybe being a bit sleep deprived when you see it might not hurt either.

also saw it at the Alamo Drafthouse, which means food. to include an excellent $5 milkshake and a not too terrible tiramisu. edit: which is to say it was pretty good. not great, but better than I expected it to be.

throw some other things in here. I got frostbite on my finger. fairly mild. nothing necrotic...just feels like a bad burn on this one spot. happens sometimes when you work with refrigerants. guy told me he was leaking some freon from under the little caps where we technicians hook up our gauges to test the freon level. it has a little valve in it (schrader) like in a bicycle tire...his was completely failed...so when I pulled off the cap about 160 psi or freon shot into my hand while I tried to get the cap back in place until I could fix it.

my hands take a lot of punishment from this job...just minor gouges and scratches and tears that all add up. there are days when I finish with bits of electric tape wrapped around a bunch of fingers to cover up cuts while I work.

almost done with The Manuscript Found in Saragossa not sure what to read after that is done.
