Ugh been wanting to see this since I first heard about it, but I was wanting to wait to buy it when it came out. May have to bite the bullet and rip it to see it.

Qal's link was a little too jumpy for my taste. I'll pay for it over the weekend.

did you listen to HBO at all? ralph garman is in red state.

Gah thats what I meant, I got through about 30 of the 44 episdoes. Watched a few random minutes of this last night, mine was skippy for the first 30 minutes then it got smooth. Looks interesting, especially since they just talked up the production of the movie not what the movie was actually about.

aww snap.. so you listened to my suggestion? thats awesome.


how you liking hbo? its my favorite podcast ever. ed win & frysdays girl voices are the best

[Apelila]

I'm listening for the episode where he starts doing ed wynn. The one where he voices Ed Wynn trying to buy beer underaged almost made me drive off the road.

Also thought they switched perspectives so many times that some of the character's stories seemed unfinished. For example, after Goodman was introduced none of the plot about the kids that were kidnapped or the gay sheriff was really resolved beyond their deaths. The trumpet explanation though, was funny for sure.

I think that is intentional and I liked it. If movies were more 'real' there would be your main characters getting killed by stray bullets all the time in those sorts of situations. If you know a character is going to live through a situation because their story isn't completed yet then it lacks some suspense. I like how no one was safe, even if they had a story seemingly half way done.

I wish the ending had been a bit different, it felt like the movie was peaking to some final moment but it didn't seem to happen.

Sad he didn't manage to get even limited theater distribution

actually he did. Lionsgate is releasing it in selected theaters in october. Kev will stream a Q&A to all theaters at once after the flick is over



also, while on the subject of smodcast and surrounding podcasts. Im hella-thrilled that The Stash (tell em steve dave) got picked up. Much hilarity awaits

[Vandole]

i havent listened to tell-em stevedave before. isnt it about hockey?

That's Pucknuts, which has ended until new season on NHL starts. It is pretty much the same cast though.
