This year we decided to do a video Christmas card at work…
because… well… we do video production.

So, here it is:

Yes, I have on a Nickelback shirt. D. Smith drew the animation and thought it was hilarious. And he was right.

Aside from the weird mannerisms and the super creepy, buggy eyes, this is pretty sweet:

Funny People

I hadn’t heard very many good things about this movie going into it, so my expectations weren’t very high. I think that worked out to my advantage, because I ended up liking the movie. It was a bit over-the-top at times, and really long, but for the most part it’s just a good story. Everyone in the movie was fantastic, and there were a lot of parts that really made me laugh. But this isn’t a funny movie. It’s actually pretty sad. My biggest complaint is that Randy (Aziz Ansari) was a tiny character. I’ve watched all of the Randy documentary stuff on FunnyorDie, and he’s hilarious. He is supposed to represent all that is wrong with comedy today, and that makes it super funny. He was only in two scenes in this movie, and neither were funny. So, that was a letdown. Otherwise, the movie was good and worth checking out if you aren’t easily offended and like stand-up comedy enough to want to know what it may be like in their real lives. Definitely better than expected.

Scrubs has always been one of my favorite shows. It’s very funny, and also very heartfelt. Season eight was supposed to be the last season, and the final episode was a very obvious finale for the show. Then ABC decided they wanted another season. I’m not sure what to think about this, especially since the majority of the cast will be brand new, but I’m willing to give it a try. Here’s what Bill Lawrence and Zach Braff have to say about it:

The Informant!

This movie was good, but a bit misleading. The trailer makes it out to be mostly a comedy. I’d disagree with that. There were some humorous parts, but mostly at the expense of the main character, who at times I just felt sorry for, and at other times just made me angry. Stylistically, the movie is great; the titles, the clothing and hair, the music. Matt Damon did a superb job of playing whistle-blower Mark Whitacre. My favorite parts of the movie were the “narrations” of what was going on in Mark’s head, while much more important things were going on around him. Although the movie wasn’t really all that long, it sure did seem long, which isn’t really a good quality in a movie. I was never bored, but I did catch myself wondering a few times how close we were to the end. Story-wise, though, this movie is pretty great/crazy. I really can’t believe it’s a true story. But it is. And that is crazy. Worth renting.
