Mark Reviews: The United States of Leland

 Let's set the stage:

I have NO idea what this movie is about... I turn it on... it opens with a voiceover from a very young ryan gosling... then it's a kid laying on the ground stabbed to death....

ok... yeah... attention grabbed.

It goes on to be a tale of a truly emotionally scarred kid who's made a terrible mistake.  It also follows a prison teacher (Don Chealde who I've yet to see in anything that i didn't love him in!) who wants to get to the core of Leland (Ryan Gosling).

Along the way we also meet Leland's ex girlfriend who i recognized from Donnie Darko, who's sister is Michelle Williams, who all live in a house together with Michelle's boyfriend Chris Kline.... now at the beginning, NONE OF THAT MAKES SENSE... but the director did a good job of jumping around in a timeline introducing all the characters and how they relate to the storyline.

If you're in the mood to watch something heavy with not a whole lot of laughs but with some great acting, and great story definitely check it out.

6 Dollar Tees!!!

Yeah, so was bouncing around the series of tubes and found this website via woot.com that advertises 6 dollar t-shirts... which is pretty cool...

...THEN I SAW SOME OF THE SHIRTS...

oh how i miss arrested development.

The Personalities of Alcohol

Whilst driving home I came to a conclusion...

different types of alcohol could be paired to the personalities/results of certain types of people.

For example:

Beer -  The College Student

You get a group of them in a room and it's a good time, but eventually those students are gonna start to annoy you.

         the connection

it takes some time for beer to kick in and a fair amount of it to have an effect.

get it?

good

Hard Liquor -  The Pirate

Yeah, i know, obvious right?  Well... think about it, how much fun would it be to have like one or two pirates kicking around with you!? EXACTLY!!  But you get more than maybe 2 or 3, and there are gonna be some problems.

Wine - Hooker

High class/expensive will treat you well, and you'll have a good time.... cheap one gives you a disease and you spend the next day hugging a toilet and trying to get the stink off of you.

Champagne - The Ninja

You might catch a glimpse of the ninja, but then 20 minutes later you're on the floor with a weird taste in your mouth and a shruken in your shoulder blade.

...how was your new years

A Difference of Opinion

Kyp: Fail!

Mark: I don't see that as a fail... I see that as being straight to the point

Kyp: Pizza Hut, we get straight to the point..Pizza

Mark: And Honest.  I mean it'd be pretty messed up if it was like, "Pizza Hut... we have sex with people for money" and then people would be like, "WHAT!?" and then Pizza Hut would be like, "no, just kidding, we just have pizza".... In fact i'm pretty sure that's the story behind that sign.

Kyp: You type the truth.

Me: yes... as does pizza hut
