Ohhh sassysnatch, preach it!

So the emmy nominations were announced this morning and I have to say, I am counting it as a personal victory that both Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton were nominated for their respective roles of Eric and Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights. My favorite category of nominations is definitely best supporting actor in a comedy series because besides Jon Cryer (who I have nothing against but I don't watch Two and a Half Men so in this case I have nothing for him either) I love every single nominee. Of course it is half gay, so it's not a surprise that I would love it. My friend posted an article about how gay best friends are this seasons hottest accessory. The idea is funny, but the article is pretty annoying, with the author saying things such as "Honey girl fabuloso pet, there is no reason to become a fag hag" and "Ohhh sugar snaps!" and even "Ohhh sassysnatch, preach it!" (that last one, I actually like. might be a new catchphrase).

So I saw the movie Cyrus with Ali on Sunday. First time I had been to the movies in a while and I'm sad to report I f*cking hated that movie. It was so unfunny and uncomfortable and slow and it just made me angry. I thought I would like it since I loved the Duplass brother's other films The Puffy Chair and Humpday (even though they didn't direct it, I give them credit for it just for being involved). There is a term "mumblecore" which is used to describe their genre of movies, which I basically take to mean a lot of talking. Or to be exact, per Wikipedia "it is primarily characterized by ultra-low budget production (often employing digital video cameras), focus on personal relationships between twenty-somethings, improvised scripts, and non-professional actors." That sounds about right. Cyrus basically sucked not because of any genre definition, but because I hated Jonah Hill's character (and his fat face...it was a bit mesmorizing...makes him look anorexic in Superbad). And I've never been a fan of blackmail in movies, it's right up there with when someone has an easy explanation for something but the other character says something along the lines of "don't...just don't" and instead of the one character explaining and clearing everything up, they just stand there silently while the other character walks away. If it were me, I would grab the other person and shake them until they listened to me. Reasonable explanations for things should always be stated even if the other person tries to walk away. (This all makes sense in my head but might come out a little confusing on paper)

I think I had a point...oh, it was to say that we were so disappointed afterwards we felt like we needed to immediately see another movie to cleanse ourselves. We didn't, but we did think back to the previews before the movie and how we wished we had seen one of those movies. One that I actually remember was Nowhere Boy, starring Aaron Johnson from Kick Ass as a young John Lennon. I do not see a resemblance which irks me a little but I do like that kid as well as this other kid in the movie, the little adorable one from Love Actually. I'm rambling. See the preview below and decide for yourself.
