Don’t get me wrong, I love Canada. OK, maybe not as much as Gavin and Beckles love Canada, but c’mon, I’m only human!
I was back there recently, and came across a full page ad for a new Canadian feature film that you haven’t heard of and won’t ever see, called One Week. (insert theater run joke here). The movie was opening that weekend and the only quotes they could get for the film were the culled from YouTube commenters like puttydutty123 who said “I am definitely going to watch this”. If you’ll look closely, you’ll notice that maybe 1% of the “glowing reviews” are from people who’ve actually seen the film. My all time favorite (if i had to pick favorites), is from esteemed critic MMarie079 who poignantly and succinctly said “Brought a tear to my eye. Gonna See this”. My point is, “damn this looks good” and “yeah…and he looks good!”.

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

Ha ha that reminds me of this dude that came into my store last week (I work at a video store) and said: “Hey man, do you have Eraserhead? That movie is so awesome. I’ve never seen it, but I know it’s really awesome”. He was wearing John Lennon glasses with little hologram american flags in them.
