…Energy. He meant to say Department of Energy. Oh well. Cue ‘Price Is Right’ tuba flail. Get a photographic picture of his silhouette walking through a dark corridor into the light. His goose is cooked like it’s Christmas Day in a Chinese restaurant.

The only accountants in action movies are the one who work out how many tickets the movie will sell per pound of explosives detonated on set. Unless it’s a Michael Bay movie, in which cases both numbers are “infinity” and the math breaks down, then explodes while people dive in slow motion far too close to the camera to be seen clearly.
This is because accounting isn’t exciting on screen, not even forensic accounting, which sounds like something the CSI guys would use to solve the murder of a stockbroker. But that same forensic accounting could outwit some of the most spectacular and silly movie heroes in the business.

If you haven’t seen Trailer Park Boys, start watching it now. The show is available on now-hated Netflix and features a group of vulgar, stooge-like men living in a trailer park and constantly trying to execute (mostly illegal) get rich quick schemes. Bumbling and lovable criminals, these characters are a prime example of taking an bleak, depressing situation and turning into a comedy. Realistically, they live in extreme poverty, are uneducated, unemployed, and constantly neglect/endanger their own children. We somehow manage to love these characters, who are otherwise everything wrong with society today.

You have that friend. How do we know? Because everyone has that friend. The one that thinks he’s funny because he can do a Christopher Walken impression.
Anyone and everyone can do a Christopher Walken impression if they try. The sad part is most of them are just doing an impression of comedian Jay Mohr’s impression of Christopher Walken.

Earlier this year Ricky Gervais hosted ‘The Golden Globes.’ And he ripped Hollywood’s entire butthole wide open. Multiple times. And poured lemon juice on the wound.

Brian Grazer is 60 years old and still gels his hair like a 14 year old boy. Ordinarily this would be a characteristic of an El Douche-o Grande, but not today.

A bunch of dapper gentlemen, if I do say so myself.

Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’ was about what would happen if a government-manufactured superflu escaped into the world. And Warner Bros. wants Ben Affleck to write and direct it.

Brad Pitt looks like a douchebag. But he for damn sure knows how to choose movie projects.
‘Fight Club,’ written by Chuck Palahniuk, was adapted into a film after Brad Pitt read the book. He, David Fincher and Edward Norton came together and made what should have been a box office success.
Edward Norton was coming off of highly praised performances in ‘People Vs. Larry Flynt’ and ‘American History X.’ Fincher had just come off of critically acclaimed efforts through ‘The Game’ and ‘Seven.’
Besides looking like a hotass bastard, Pitt had ‘Legends Of The Fall,’ ‘Interview With A Vampire’ and ’12 Monkeys’ simmering on his resume. Not to mention the fact that he’d had box office success with Fincher through ‘Seven.’
Worldwide, ‘Fight Club’ made its money back. But in America it was a failure. So much for popular convention…
That does not take away from the fact that it is now a cult favorite with references to it found in various realms of popular society…especially so with the internet.
Good. Helps to maintain some faith in society. Oh yeah, and tilt your screen to see the full poster.
