So, I decided to start cooking again. Today I made Barbeque Chicken Sandwich’s. Two of them.
The sandwiches were made with Tyson chicken fingers, Jack Daniels Hickory Brown Sugar Barbecue Sauce, Pepper Jack Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, and Mayonnaise on a cheese bread that I sliced myself. With a side of Tomato soup, which included milk, shredded Pepper Jack, and Oregano. All washed down with Hot Apple Cider and Bourbon.
If I wasn’t a man before, I am today.

This is my favorite Dwight moment
Source: welovetheoffice
I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind but couldn’t open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catchin’ up with me
Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my diamond encrusted piece
Thinking, no one man should have all that power

#4 - The Town
I tend to dislike most films that take place in Boston. The Departed was over acted, and the accents didn’t even come close to what they actually sound like, Fever Pitch perpetuates and justifies the over obsession of our sports fans, and The Edge of Darkness was just blatantly racist.
But there was something about The Town that just felt right. The accents weren’t over done, the criminals were shown as people trying to make an ends meet, and there was no obsession with Whitey Bulgar. It felt like home.
Biases aside, this film was really well done. It was full of action, but still had great writing. Ben Affleck, John Hamm, Rebecca Hall, and Jeremy Renner all did an amazing job.

#5- Louis C.K.’s Hilarious
This is the one and only stand up act to make it into Sundance - and for good reason.
No one touches on the grim realities of our lives like Louis C.K. does. He is Vonnegut in modern day, stand up comedian form. He points out, so eloquently, about the state of mind of Americans. How we have so many amazing things in our life that we take for granted. Or how we put sex literally ahead of everything else. Or how we take the easy way out of everything. Basically, how we just don’t fucking think anything we say through before we say it.
Mix that up with self hatred and you have the best stand up ever done.
I can’t really rate this in the same way I have the other ones, so -

#6 - Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
If films were based off of the first 40 minutes, this would be one of the greatest films of all time. Unfortunately, they’re not, and this got really awkward around the time when Scott Pilgrim began fighting the evil exes.
But let’s talk more about the first 40 minutes.
If you’ve ever taken hallucinogenics you know that it’s more about the feeling in your chest than the visuals. A lot of films are great at creating visual flashbacks. But nothing besides this has ever given me the feeling in my chest back. The way it jumps from scene to scene, how there’s this sort of lack of understanding from Scott, but he stills knows what’s happening, how you can see sounds. This is what a trip is like.
This is something I have never seen done in a film before. I honestly don’t think that the dream sequences in Inception even really compare, albeit Inception is much more sophisticated.

#7 - The Social Network
The trouble with Award shows, especially The Golden Globes, is that that it’s selected by older people who want to be hip. Which is why Mad Men wins every year and why Up In The Air won last year. Facebook is the ultimate way for old people to pretend they’re in the hip inner circles. I swear, my parents are on it more than I am. Every holiday dinner they feel the need to bring it up, realizing after a year of having it that you can tag people in pictures, and reveling in the vast discovery they have just made.
This film will not be timeless. As soon as Facebook fades out as My Space did it will be forgotten about.
The film it self is better than I had expected. My initial thoughts on it was “They’re making a movie about Facebook, that’s so fucking stupid.” And the cast - Sure Jesse Eisenberg was good in Zombieland, but what else has he done? And Justin Timberlake, the guy who ruined the ending to Black Snake Moan. And Aaron Sorkin - “Ohhh, look at me! I wrote The West Wing*, I’m hot shit.”
But somehow it all worked together well. It was a well made film, but not even close to what everyone says about it.

#8 - Inception
Yeah, I know, this is really low, even lower than I was expecting, but fucking hear me out.
I started following this film in the Summer of 2009 (I have a man crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt, leave me alone.) I had huge expectations for it. I thought it was going to be one of the greatest films ever made. I thought it was going to sweep the Oscars. But, at that point I had only seen a short teaser trailer and saw the cast list.
I did love this, every second of it. I just didn’t see what was so special about it. It’s all been done before. The dream sequences (Eternal Sunshine), the special effects (pretty much every Hollywood movie.). The characters were made to either be hated (Cobb) or just sort of flat (Arthur).
So, don’t get me wrong, Inception was incredible, just not that incredible.
