Extract: A Kristen Wiig Review

Forget what you know about movies, and forget what you know about movie reviews. This one from Mike Judge has nothing in the book of conventions. I had the chance to watch "Extract" in French, but I don't speak any French, so recently, I finally saw it in English.

When it comes to the filmmaking of Mike Judge, of course I was a fan of "Office Space," "King of the Hill," "Beavis and Butthead," and even "Idiocracy." So I greatly awaited what this film had to offer.

The premise is Jason Bateman is trying to fuck Mila Kunis :P
So far off to a good start.

However, Jason Bateman is sadly married to a coupon designer named Kristen Wiig. (Forget character names).
A Wife is a Horrible Cockblock
 The plot thickens like brownie batter as Jason Bateman takes advice from hairy Ben Affleck and plans to have Kristen Wiig sleep with Ethan from 90210, otherwise known as the sweatshirt wearing bonehead in the photo above, Dustin Milligan.Therefore, if Kristen Wiig sleeps with Dustin Milligan, Jason Bateman won't feel guilty about sleeping with Mila Kunis.

Confused yet?

Hairy Ben Affleck
Anyway, the plan backfires when it turns out Kristen Wiig is secretly a loose cannon vagina and sleeps with Dustin over and over like a conveyer belt (get it, in an out?). It is no surprise that she makes hairy Ben Affleck look like an idiot. There are some other characters involved, but they are not important.

Some other reviews online (from some dude named Ebert) read that it was just too unbelievable for Kristen Wiig to sleep with Dustin Milligan because he was a dirty pool boy. Yes, it is true. He was a dirty pool boy, and maybe it was too much for them to do it 15 times a weekend :&
Watch Kristen Wiig do a dumb guy.


In Conclusion:
This is not Mike Judge's best film. Imagine "Office Space" set in a factory. It is not his funniest, but it is worth watching once, and then, it is worth watching twice where you find yourself laughing at it, and not with it.
As long as you're laughing.

And F**k Sweatpants Too

    I'd see this just for the cast.

    I knew you were a sucker for JK Simmons.
    Sadly, I didn't like his character in this one.

    I'm not quite sure how I feel about it, but like you said, it's one of those films you only feel like watching once. dustin milligan was actually the sole reason why I stopped at this film while zapping tv channels sometime ago, yep. dayum, how I wish he could be *my* dirty, sweaty pool boy (don't tell chace).

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

A new Skinshape LP is on the way as of October 28th! "Nostalgia" promises to delve into the world of motives and motifs. Will Dorey (AKA Skinshape) has described this particular track "High Tide, Storm Rising" as "the main theme song of a movie."

Dreams of Panama 04. Moonlight Walk  05. Albion 06. High Tide, Storm Rising 07. Turn Away 08. Bohanon's Cornucopia 09. Bad Dreams 10. Fish & Chips 11. Dawn I would try to include something about live shows, but the soulful likes of Skinahape simply prefer to record and NOT perform live, which is an interesting choice in today's world.  Once again, "Nostalgia" is out everywhere as of Oct. 28th.
