ok sometimes fil and i will find ourselves sitting at a bar (i know strange phenomena that) and after ten minutes of pure silence i pipe up and say oh i have a new game we can play, and then he sighs and feigns boredom (typically my games revolve around using the alphabet, that’s as creative as i get) and says let me guess do we use the alphabet for it? yes, yes we do. anyway this recent one i came up with was using the alphabet (just to come up with ideas) pick a movie (A airplane, B big lebowski, C cape fear etc.) and then we get in a fight over who was the best character/actor in that film and even if it ends in violence we do not carry on to the next movie until someone has won. we grew sick of this came pretty quick, all the mental energy i spent on merely inventing it capped me, plus it was valentine’s day and i get distracted by spying on other people’s conversations pretty easy.
here are the few movies we argued over, oh, and we did NOT use the alphabet so shut up fil!
True lies – tom arnold wins, we both agreed from the start
american pie – stifler, though the one who bangs his mom close second, but i came to the conclusion his character was a little over the top and not really that original, was merely off-set by the existence of stifler, take stifler out of the equation and there is no requirement of the defensive chip on his shoulder. chris klein and that other sucky kid who isn’t jason biggs, worse characters ever, i think he was in that baseball movie right, ugh i want to punch him.
life aquatic – obvs. bill murray, though close second is impossible to determine, jeff goldblum is amazing, but so is owen wilson
zoolander -ben stiller, fil wanted to say billy zane to piss me off then i knew this game was close to over.
dumb and dumber – this one i’m hazy about, because jim carey is basically ace ventura in this movie except with a bowl haircut and a buddy, it’s a buddy film, which are hard to determine who does the better job cos both dudes are integral in supporting the other’s performance. i think the fact that jeff daniels put on a ton of weight for this role is awesome, i want to pick him but i can’t decide and thus the game ends cos fil is totally not caring at this point.
then we did friends cos it’s on 7 times a day now, we decided chandler is the funniest, and ross is too like fil or fil is too like ross for him to be chosen period. so chandler wins.
and ok um, seriously!?
what are you a gremlin?
stop!
and while i’m at it, what’s up dood?
