Big Fat Greek... Kung Pow Cow?

Spent the evening watching movies with my wife. The first one wasn't to bad I guess. It was My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Had lots of funny moments to chuckle to. Then disaster struck....

I am a sucker for "its so bad its funny" comedy like many of the Silent Bob adventures, some of Jim Carey's stuff etc.... but I sat through the most PATHETIC, idiotic movie ever last night. It is so bad I refuse to put it at the top of the page as a movie I have recently saw. If you take an old Hong Kong martial arts film, mix it with some CGI special effects, add some broth from your local toliet... and then mix.... you get Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

Now in total honesty I laughed a lot. I went in with low expectations, and had a good laugh. The CG martial arts cow was just hilarious, but that doesn't make up for the over-silliness everywhere else in the movie. The over-dubbing of the voices, meant to be funny, was just ridiculious. A dog barks, and about a minute later you HEAR it. (You know the old Hong Kong dubbing that sucked... worse than that). I think I know a way to enjoy this movie. Instead of going in with low expectations, go in expecting it to be ridiculious. Then it might be funnier to you.

On the work front, my flash demo is coming along great. I hope to be done this weekend. I am very happy with how its turning out. The voice overs are clean, the flash animations are to the point, and its kinda fun to do. I couldn't do this for a living... but I have made a pretty impressive demo without shelling out a few thousand dollars to a flash guy to do it.

I recently heard some of the old gang was trying to get together for nachos and beer. Sorry I didn't reply in time. I am game if you guys want to do it again. It was fun last time we did all get together, and it was kewl to see BarqMulch's and Monkey's new babies. Drop me an email if you want to get together.
