Witz Pickz: BURNT BAGELS!

I KNOW! I DO THOUGH! WHAAAAT?? Well here's the thing: The other day I burnt the hell out of a my last bagel, and thought, "end of days" right? But I ate it anyway because I was starving and have very little food in my home. And it was delicious!!! All the cancer causing carcinogens mixed perfectly with the tasty Trader Joe's whipped cream cheese to create a fantastic eating experience. As I ate, I thought back to other times when I'd burnt bagels, but taken the plunge anyway, and I realized that I kinda liked em back then too. Conclusion: Burnt bagels ARE delicious, but society deems them wrong. I can only assume this is some innate racism which has existed since slave times, and I'm ready to fight it.

Other Pickz:

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: A remake of an old film I haven't seen, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is an extremely captivating film noir-esque escapade starring Val Kilmer and Robert Downey, Jr. Val Kilmer proves once again that he CAN, in fact, act brilliantly when he wants to (see The Saint, Tombstone, cameo on Entourage). Robert Downey, Jr. is even better as he finally has a role to work with where he isn't actually gay, doing drugs, or opposite Rodney Dangerfield. The writing is brilliant, the storytelling draws you in, and the acting is spot on.

Entourage: As mindless as television is these days (all days), no television experience comes as close to doing absolutely nothing as Entourage-- And I love it. Watching Entourage is like sitting down in the shower. Time passes, you feel kinda warm, there's an inexplicable feeling of guilt, but soon enough, it's time to get back to the real world. This is because Entourage is a half hour of man-soap-opera glory. Money, women, cars, movies, cameos, women, and naked women fill the time with vague plots about being an actor and extended man-versations and one-liners that'll make you laugh and want more. There aren't any real issues at stake, the world is not particularly discussed, and nobody takes a stand on much of anything. What's incredible is that they're able to hold my attention and keep me wanting more each and every week, despite how little actually happens in the show. Only Mark Wahlberg could produce something as empty, useless, and perfect as Entourage.
