Colbert White House Correspondents Dinner Speech

Hey I saw this video on CollegeHumor and I had to post it. This video is the famous video of Stephen Colbert giving his speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner. As you can see in the video President Bush is sitting two people next to him. I so this video online two and a half years ago, and if you haven't seen it yet YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS. If you are a fan of political humor of a fan of Colbert YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS. This video is hysterical. Colbert one the Spike "Guy's Choice Award" for "gutsiest move" for this. This was broadcast live on C-Span when it happened which makes it all the better. I wish I saw it live when it happened, it would have been funnier if I knew it was live. Jessie watch the video!!!!

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was actually Pretty Good

    I got Forgetting Sarah Marshall from the RedBox today.  I just finished watching it.  I liked it a lot better than I thought I would.  It is better than the 40 Year Old Virgin, better than Wedding Crashers, better than Knocked Up, better than Superbad, better than Talladega Nights.  It was pretty funny.  As I have thought with every Judd Apatow movie I have seen, it went a little overboard on some parts.  However, I think I really liked it.  The jokes were really funny.  Some of the small charcters were dumb, but the were only small charcters so it didn't really have an effect.  I liked Mila Kunis's charcter and I think her and Jason Segel were good together.  Russell Brand's charcter was very funny.  I loved Jack McBrayer's character, he plays the awkward quirky adult so so well.  And the woman that McBrayer's wife was Maris Thayer, from the movie Accepted and the movie and TV show Strangers with Candy, which was awesome.  I think her and Jack were good and really played off each other well.  Jonah Hill was funny, his only had a small role, but it was good.  Towards the end there is this really loud sex scene and my dogs in the next could hear it and the started barking, it was funny.
    There was an awesome special feature on the DVD called Line-O-Rama.  It is all the best and funniest lines of the movie said in a bunch of different ways.  It was really really funny.

Thumbsucker, Rocket Science, and Idiocracy

    So I watched all three movies I got from the library.  Last night Jessie and I watched Thumbsucker.  I really didn't like it.  I really just didn't like this film. I thought the thumbsucking was dumb. The whole time I was watching it I was wondering when it would end .
    Earlier me and Jen watched Rocket Science.  This film was pretty good. It was slow at points. I thought the music in the film was awesome and worked really well. Some of the characters didn't work that well. But most of the main cast was awesome. For a full cast of total unknown actors, they were really good. Definitely not the best film I've seen this year, but definitely worth a viewing.
    I finished watching the movie Idiocracy like 15 minutes ago.  This movie was very dumb, but when you really think about it. I think it was supposed to be. It was definitely really funny in parts. Some of the characters were perfectly cast. It is actually a really interesting look at what our society may become someday with the mass consumerism and mass dumbing down of our current society. It would generally expect more from Mike Judge, but this a smart comedy disguised as a really dumb comedy.
