What are you people doing? Watching our videos on repeat for 28 hours a day? If it reaches anywhere near 30 gigs, i’ll have to shut down the site for days to accomodate that.
anyway, I learnt several things today.
1) According to Alexa, Suckball is (now, was) the 1969303th website on the internet
2) Suckball has earned a total of $6 dollars since May. That’s because of our little google bar. Click on it once in a while.
Also, I have a confession to make.
I honestly think that Bridget Jones’ Diary is a great movie
which brings me to my new article.
There’re two types of movies that generally work for me almost all the time,
1) Something based off a true story. Though I am a pessimist to the point that people regularly tell me “Your kids are going to commit suicide” or “Do you ever say anything positive”, somewhere deep in me, i’m rooting out for humanity. Movies such as Remember the Titans, Sea Biscuit are high in my books not only because they were well made, but gives me a sliver of hope that the world isn’t as bad as it seems.
2) Romantic comedies - simply because they’re the funniest of comedies and again, gives me a sliver of hope that life is not about death and taxes. These comedies ALWAYS contain a bad guy - the slut, cheat and an all around asshole, and the good guy - the misunderstood gentleman, completely and utterly selfless, all around “nice”
In the case of Jones’ Diary, the “nice” guy was played by Colin Firth
and the irresistable cheating man slut
This movie shines from other romantic comedies for the simple fact that the lead actress is a blimp. Her commitment to her work forced her to put on 30-40 pounds by eating nothing but whale fat and ice cream for several months to get into the physical character of Bridget Jones, a hopeless romantic who thinks she’s too fat and does absolutely nothing about it. (Shallow Hal doesn’t count because you hardly even see the fat lady)
She keeps getting herself in horrible horrible situations and turns redder than a baboon’s ass like attending a tea party dressed as a playboy bunny and accidentally falling onto a camera in a short skirt for national tv to see.
I have yet to hear anyone who watched this film say that they didn’t enjoy it. Men will automatically believe that they are Mr Darcy and women will dream about being a hopeless romantic and bagging the richest most eligible bachelor in England. It’s a great movie especially if you invited a girl to “hang out” that coincidentally has been in your masturbation fantasies for several months or if you invited a guy to “hang out” that coincidentally has a gorgeous girlfriend you wish to steal him from. Win win really.
Go watch,
