I think you’ll feel the same way after viewing this sketch from Adult Swims’ Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job. I just hope I can get the links to work:

 I hope this post will make up for the time I’ve been away from the Bruce.
My lack of funds have given me plenty of time to scour Netflix over the past few months and pick out a few gems. Lemme know what you think.
 Into The Wild – I was totally set to despise this movie for no real reason whatsoever but Sean Penn kicked my ass. This movie rocked! A coming of age story about a college graduate who leaves everything he knows to traipse through the wilderness of Alaska. This movie follows Chris McCandless (Hirsch) through his astounding journey and the life lessons he learns along the way.  Hirsch’s performance is reminiscent of Robert Redford in Jeremiah Johnson.Â
Wristcutters: A Love Story – This one is a little bizarre. I really don’t know how to explain it but the writers put a nice twist on the normal “boy meets girl” love story. Set in a strange purgatory (that’s for you catholics) for victims of suicide, Zia (Patrick Fugit) looks for his “real world” girlfriend. There are many strange happenings along the way that I can’t begin to describe. Definitely worth a watch.
Things We Lost In The Fire – Get out your Kleenex box because this one is a tear jerker. I was crying within 10 minutes of the opening credits. Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro give outstanding performances while they try to get their lives together after the passing of husband and best friend, Brian Burke (David Duchovny).  Â

Its tough to figure out. Movie studios could be trying to cash into rugby like they tried to cash in the ultimate fighter phenomenom with that movie Never Back Down or with the poker craze and movies like Rounders or Deal. Or it could be that they have made too many formulaic football movies and have to apply to same script to other sports. Whatever the reason, I will probably watch Forever Strong. Sean Astin probably took the role because he needs an excuse to wear short shorts again like in Rudy. Worked once for his career, why not try it again.
Alright for those of you who are unfamiliar with the original version I’ll post that one also. Another added bonus of Jackie Chan’s cover is that it is in Mandarin Chinese and slow motion karate. But ask me why I have a fixation with this song, you can thank Austin “My Balls just dropped” Travers.
Here’s the Original and here is Jackie Chan’s version.
Having missed the Roast of Bob Saget and hearing that it was not that great, I was checking out youtube videos of old roasts. A routine that involves just acting like a drunk probably gets old fast, but having never heard of Foster Brooks, finding this to be my favorite of the ones I’ve seen.
