Kyp's Job Review

So basically, Kyp was talking about how he's been busy writing job reviews... and so I told him he should just make stuff up and just entertain the person reading it... y'know basically do the same thing that allowed him to pass Marketing in College.

So this was my suggestion for his review:

Kyp Pilalas- Kyp is a critical part of our _____ department. His bright attitude and great sense of humor adds to our wonderful work environment.... but don't let that fool you, under that goofy glasses wearing face is the brain of a cunning system programmer. Raised in a small farm town just outside of baltimore Kyp realized his dream at a young age and never stopped striving towards it. He fought against the tide in a world where his kind of people weren't accepted by those around him. Expected never to be anything but a farm hand this young boy had dreams... running away from home and joining the navy Kyp challenged everyone there. Eventually losing his leg during a salvage dive in russian waters Kyp wandered the ocean floor fighting off sharks and octopi until he came upon a small ocean city. Stumbling through the strange land he eventually met a friendly mer-person who brought him safely to shore. However, he found himself coming to the surface in a time he didn't recognize. Luckily at that exact moment a yuong teenager ran into him wearing a strange life-jacket looking vest. He told the man to come with him into a car which once it hit 88 mph travelled back to his home time. Now in his own time Kyp could beginhis future. Unfortunately his family had now moved to the big city, having spent all their money attempting to find him. The strain of losing a child tore his parents apart; Kyp chose to live with his mother... he began high school... quickly falling in love with a tom-boy wearing a lot of pleather. He studied computers until he could learn to change his schedule to match hers, and then turned on the fire alarm so that water rained upon the school from the sprinkler system... must've been a leak in the pool he said. And then suddenly, and without warning the whole thing turned into a real life game of hungry hungry hippos. and that's how I hacked the gibson.

Well, Well, Well

So, I feel like Kyp and I have been slacking on our responsibilities as bloggers... we're not giving up to date info on our opinions of how crazy Britney is, and who knocked up her sister (it was Kyp by the way). But I assure you, it's mainly because we're busy with random stuff, and find gossip and such kind of... annoying? I don't really care if Hannah Montana is pregnant with an Alien's baby (start spreading the news), basically the only thing that really has caught our attention recently is the Golden Globes getting cancelled. When that happened, clearly the next step was wondering about the Academy Awards. Both of us were a little torn; we know that the cancelling of the Golden Globes was a huge win for the Writer's Guild of America (whom we support), however, if the Oscars get cancelled, there goes one of our favorite annual parties. Drinking and betting on acting, what could be better?

So looking at it now, Really we still want the same thing, we want the strike to end. For that to happen the studios have to give in, Dave Letterman's privately owned company Worldwide Pants has made an independent deal with it's writers, and therefore Letterman and that British guy who's on after him [edit by Kyp: Craig Ferguson is Scottish, you moron.] have their writers back. Meanwhile, the rest of the late night hosts seem to be managing well enough with their guest and interview based shows.

The way I envision the strike is like that scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the studios clearly have the Writers out matched in size, and overall strength... however, the Writer's brought a gun to the knife fight.

A Transforming Waitress on the Reefer

Ok, again, I neglected my duties as a blogger, but will make up for it, with yet again... a triple review!

1) Transformers. Ok... so, what can be said about Michael Bay's film Transformers... I think Transformers was a perfect title... because it took something awesome and much loved from our childhood and transformed it into the Bourne Supremacy with robots. What do I mean? I mean, the action was weak, it was close shots going too fast, so you couldn't even tell what was happening. The acting was, meh, I think looking at it as an action movie works. I mean I had heard the reviews already, so I wasn't going in with high hopes, it was more just, I'm bored and wanna watch something that involves thinking. And as that, it wasn't all that bad. Things blew up, it was cool.

2) Waitress- Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. While the very end left me wanting a little bit more at the time, the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. The acting was great, and the idea behind the film, and the way it was edited was teriffic. This was definately a film I loved, and would definately have it in my top ten of the year... if I had ten :P. It was a fun romantic comedy, again with a lot of serious content. Definately could see my mom loving this movie (go rent it mom :oD) The interspersing of Jenna's "pies" was perfect, and helped move along the film. The characters were just perfect. All of them added to the film, obviously Nathan Fillion and Keri Russel stood out as the two leads, and just played the characters with such a honesty that really made you connect with them.

3) Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical- Not to be confused with Reefer Madness/Tell your children, the 1936 educational film about the dangers of marijuana. Well, that's not true entirely, the whole point of the film is that it makes fun of Tell Your Children and its effects on society. Basically this was a film with all sorts of music ranging from the lover's "Loved by Mary Lane" and "Romeo and Juliet" to the ballad of the heavenly lounge lizard Jesus telling Jimmy to turn back from his vices of dope smoking. As someone who (hand to God) has never even taken a puff of weed I found the film absolutely hysterrical. What made the film was that it was directed towards the people who kind of know what the effects are, whether or not they actually tried it. Basically... even though I may never have tried weed.. I happen to know it doesn't turn you into a flesh eating zombie. Even the music was fantastic, I've been searching for the soundtrack, but with no luck so far. Satire was the name of the game and Reefer Madness blew the competition out of the bong water. Definately add it to your netflix quene for a good laugh.
