Thoughts on Portlandia

Hey folks this is not a review in the sense of me saying this is bad or good and so forth. This is just me after watching season 1 and having thoughts and feeling like sharing them. This show is so weird as it is not funny really as much as it is humorous as all hell. I say this as a huge fan and I think there is something to getting the joke and enjoying the point of view and not having a actual laugh there. The show seems to be taking aim at hipster and scenster culture with Portland Oregon as the backdrop. You can tell early on that while the culture is being mined for humor the shows stars live in that world and show a human side to the world of the scenster. The other thing I notice is the chemistry between the leads(Fred armisen,Carrie brownstein) which is so amazing that it makes most of the sketches work. Most people are aware of Fred Armisen who is a regular on SNL as a comedic powerhouse but Carrie was a huge surprise. Brownstein who was the guitarist for sleater-kinney who without knowing would assume she has been doing sketch for ever. They are always on the same beat which leads to some really great moments on the show such as "put a bird on it". Most sketches are stand alone with a one common theme flowing throughout. I love this show but its unabashedly unique view is a hard sell for people who expect a specific punchline is a hrad sell for america

1/13/10 Top 3 worst comedies featuring action stars

Before I start let me say my bad for updating super late. I went away for the weekend leaving my fans with nothing but nothing to appease them so i apologize for that. so with that said I now bring the list which is of action stars and the shitty comedies that made. The idea of action stars doing silly comedies hay day was in the 80,s and due to how awesome those action stars movies were it made the comedies that much more awful. This list will go from the least awful to the absolute worst of the worst.






Twins
action star-Arnold schwarzenegger
This was crap not for any other reason then the awkward hippie gangbang imagery they placed in my head. That alone though doesn't get you on this list light hearted eugenics and the fact that Danny was the crap left over after Arnie was conceived in said gangbang.










Jingle all the way

action star-Sinbad

This film starred the action Hero sinbad who took a break from Killing people in his other movies To star with comedy star Arnold schwarzeneggerwho made such lighthearted fare as kindergarten cop and Junior. It was fun watching sinbad tone down his more vicious tendencies and play up to Arnie's perfect comic timing. In the scene where they fight for the last toy. I almost expected sinbad to go all "sinbad and kill the gentle giant but no dice




Over the top
action star-sly Stallone


This HILARIOUS film stars sly as a trucker who bounces on family and arm wrestles to earn cash on the side. the wife who for some reason has never divorced this douche Lincoln hawk.Why this is a comedy is its grand showdown and thing that resolves everything is a arm wrestling match for a truck...ORLY? I would have been OK with enough money to retire and be with the kid but the prize was a truck which means he would be just as absent from this kids life. That's moot though the fact that a arm wrestling match was the grand finale makes this without a doubt the worst comedy(it had to be a comedy right) with a action star of all time
