04.23.09 LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE WENT TO PRIVATE SCHOOL
Hey, kids. Do you like Wes Anderson and unnecessary voice over? Then you’ll love the first seven minutes of Rian Johnson’s* The Brothers Bloom (starring Rachel Weisz, Adrien Brody, and Mark Ruffalo, none of whom appear in this clip). It actually started to win me over towards the end. The guy can clearly tell a story, it’d just be nice if he eased off the oh-so-precious elements, like little kids who dress like Charlie Chaplin and talk like Our Gang. Also: can we stop with the little-kids-falling-in-love plot device already? If 10-year-old boys are gonna start trying to impress chicks all the time, I’m gonna knock them in the mud and put frogs down my pants just to even things out.
*Says Johnson’s wikipedia page: “Johnson is also an accomplished folk singer.” Gee, you don’t say.
[and sorry about the video, non-U.S. peeps, but there's not much I can do when the only place hosting it is Hulu. Write to them and complain, because it's frustrating for me too.]

Lince, why the frogs in YOUR pants? You must be into some kinky shit.
This is my Gmail account, right?
I love it when the Hitler Youth knock on my door!
Brick ruled, so I have high hopes for this director.
@Oh Kurg. As if any self-respecting Hitler Youth group would accept the future Adrien Brody.
A kid named Max Records? That’s not the kind of child abuse I find amusing.
In fairness, kids are having sex as early as 10 these days. At least the kids I meet.
“At least the kids I
meetmeat.”Flicksed!!
I’d rather see The Sisters Bloom.
I’d rather watch Seven Minute Abs.
I’d rather watch a blank screen with “I’m sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed in the United States.”
I’m not breaking your balls on purpose, I’m just in a pissy mood and you’re right there.
[Throws half full cup of coffee in Al's trashcan]
I didn’t do a damn thing! You’re mean!
[stomps off]
I’m pissy because my hockey team got beaten with a sock full of shit last night which made them choke in game 7 of round one.
And I’m busy at “work.”
“The Brothers Bloom” is what I’m waiting for the Jonas Bros to do.
“The Brothers BOOM!” are John Madden and Michael Bay.
The Brothers Klum are going to get tired of being asked to balance a ball on their noses.
The Brothers Gloom are the Nolans.
Al, for more information on Hulu’s international availability, click here.
It’s really fucking helpful.
I liked it right up until I realized that some of the words rhymed. That’s practically like a poem. I mean, I masturbate to pictures of shirtless men to get these gay feelings *out* of my body. Why would you go shoving them back in by exposing me to poetry?
Al, you could use this http://www.hotspotshield.com/ to watch it. I use it in my dirty mud hut.
