Not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but decent enough for a couple laughs. If you like crude movies with a lot of cursing and I do mean ALOT of cursing plus some T&A action this is the film for you.  You’ll also get to see what a pro can do with some ping pong balls (I’m sure Malik knows what I’m talking about).

It’s also got one of the best quotes from a movie ever:

“You’re embarrassed? I just got cock-blocked by my mom!”

Was doing a little spring cleaning and found this card in my collection. Well, here’s our opening day pitcher in 2007 way back in 1990. Looking at his numbers it looks like this will be his 20th year in baseball. Shit, we weren’t even 10 when he came up.

I’m Losing My Finger Licking Mind!!!! Got a whole Pio Pio chicken today. Should last me a couple days.

The fries at the Shake Shack suck now. It seems like they changed them. Maybe it’s the no trans-fat thing or maybe it’s the organic potatoes they are using, but they taste like cardboard. I would know because I’ve eaten cardboard. I had a shackburger, cheese fries and a large coke today. The line was longer than ever – 50 minutes of waiting got me my burger. I have to say, Shake Shack is the only place I’ve ever seen where so many hot girls actually line up for burgers. But then again, there’s a lot of fat girls who line up too…and when they sit down on those skimpy chairs, they expose their dirty thongs and, well, it’s hard not to vomit. Oh and I fucking hate dogs.

Sometimes books are adapted into movies and they work. This one sure didn’t.

Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser was paced well and gave us an insight into the mechanizations of the fast food industry but I found the movie’s storyline slow and plodding and really going nowhere. Richard Linklater, known for directing some decent movies like Dazed and Confused and A Scanner Darkly, fails to give a good narrative on this one. It is slowed by the many subplots within the movie. The main storyline is from the perspective of a marketing executive trying to find how shit (feces, poop, crap, you get the picture) got into the meat at the main factory. Then you have the perspective of the illegal immigrants from Mexico trying make a living in said factory. And lastly from the perspective of a teenage fast food worker.

The ensemble cast in the movie does a decent job but there’s nothing noteworthy. Though I did chuckle a bit seeing Avril Lavigne playing an activist.

If you had a choice between seeing this film or Supersize Me, I would definitely go with Supersize Me. BOTTOM LINE: Ignore It
