Summer Viewing Pleasures
You know, I CANNOT get enough of Jim Beaver saying he's gonna "roll a fat one". It just doesn't get tired. Anyone else watching John from Cincinnati? Not only does it have Jim Beaver in it, it has Bruce Greenwood, who is just...just...*melts* So tired and raging and fucked up. And floating about 6-10 inches off the sand.
And how about Flight of the Conchords, another HBO show featuring the parody folk duo of Jemaine and Bret? I just about cracked a fucking rib laughing at the lyrics "You're so beautiful/Like a tree, or a high-class prostitute". And then he goes on to nail the deal (or the coffin lid) by declaring: "You should have been a waitress/Or a part-time model/ But you'd probably still have to keep your normal job." The Object of Desire (over whom the hapless Jemaine proceeds to spill duck grease) announces that she really had been hoping for an Australian. There's something deeply funny about New Zealanders (and I'm married to one, okay?) and their dry polite humour mixed with rugby techniques designed to eviscerate you.
ETA: It's John FROM Cincinnati. And it has awesome opening credits. Awesome to me, anyway. As does Conchords.
