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).

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it...

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement ...

Flashback Friday: Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23

Since I was unable to post this week's TBT yesterday, I decided to make up for it with a Flashback Friday today. But instead of posting about music, I'll be paying tribute to an awesome TV show that was gone too soon: Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 . Exactly two weeks ago (yes, I'm often late due to my eminent laziness), on April 11, the pilot episode turned two years old. In the opening scene, June (Dreama Walker) comes home to find her new roommate, Chloe (the amazing Krysten Ritter), having sex with her fiancé on her birthday cake as " Infinity Guitars " by Sleigh Bells plays in the background. Classy And that was just one of many crazy, unexpected things that happened throughout the show. For instance, Chloe tried to set June up with her father (a fact initially unbeknownst to June) just so he would cheat on her mother, who happens to be in a wheelchair. The list goes on, but I don't want to spoil the fun for those who haven't...
