So I finally went to the theater to see CZars of Summer. It's an indie movie about 3 young guys named Dave, Stephen and Janine who wander off into the wilds of downtown San Jose after Dave's car breaks down. The plot was a little confusing, but they end up on the internet somehow and build their own message board there, independent from any adults and free from responsibility, parents and Disqus flags.
Also, there's a thriller element because they're in wild San Jose and are being chased by Sharks. They start out trying to reach AAA, but then Janine turns it into a conversation about minor league baseball. Then there's a really kind of experimental/abstract hallucinatory sequence that's like 30 minutes of Stephen and Dave talking about Kanye West. Then just as the Sharks are about to catch them, Kanye shows up in a cameo, says "You guys are both right, I am awesome!", gives them milk and cookies and then he leaves. but then the Sharks disappear, too, so maybe they were just metaphors?
It was a pretty good movie, though in the credits it said Alison Brie played The Internet, and I didn't see her, so that was kind of a letdown.

TV comment of the week: Shinigami lists 50 things he misses about Breaking Bad.
Shinigami Apple Merchant
50 Random Things I Miss At This Moment About Breaking Bad:
01. Meth Damon.
02. That S3 Winnebago Origin Cold Open with Combo.
03. Skinny Pete and Badger trying to one up each other at group therapy.
04. Everything about "Better Call Saul" (in particular the nighttime ditch digging).
05. Flynn eating breakfast.
06. Q playing Jane's Dad and talking about water on Mars.
07. Walter's Heathers-esque Dark Comedy gymnasium speech.
08. Everything about "One Minute" (especially the final minute of the episode).
09. Being able to say "Chekhov's Ricin."
10. That poor fluffy pink bear's eyeball of doom.
11. Jesse discussing how "Coin flip is SACRED!"
12. Walter making his Krazy 8 Let Him Live/Kill Him List (sorry I said Emilio awhile back)
seriable.com/wp-content...
"It's the moral thing to do" vs. "he'll kill you and your entire family if you let him go."
13. Walter spinning that gun at the beginning of "End Times."
14. Marie's purple outfits, stationary, furniture, and house.
15. Hank's level headed, self effacing behavior both in front of inebriated Walter at the pool party and when facing civilian assault charges.
16. Walter's potential farewell message to the camcorder at the baby shower.
17. The Wendy montage at the beginning of "Half Measures."
18. Everything about "Fly."
19. That resilient pork pie hat.
20. That not-so-resilient explosive imbued tortoise (or Tortuga. It means he takes his time BUT HE ALWAYS WINNNSSSS. Unless the twins get him).
21. Walter stranded out in the desert with Jesse.
22. Old Joe the conscientious libertarian junkyard owner living in this time of string theories and god particles.
23. Mother Gilligan being Walter's next door neighbor.
24. Huell being reasonably happy most of the time.
25. The "Negro Y Azul" cold opening.
26. All the glorious comebacks of Hector ringing that bell from Season 2 onward.
27. Gus Fringe menacingly taking off, cleaning, then re-affixing his glasses after "talking" with Walter and Jesse.
28. Every damn, sensational scene that ever had Mike the Cleaner in it.
29. Jesse finally having dinner with Skyler and Walter.
30. Bryan Cranston making that complete pizza box toss in one take.
31. The multiple times people have said, "we're going to make a lot of money together."
32. The multiple times people have said, "there was nothing else we could have done."
33. Gale Bedekker's zest for Karaoke.
34. Hank's zeal for roc...err minerals and micro-brews.
35. Walter's potential final answering machine message to Skyler.
36. Walter's lunch vitriol with Gretchen.
37. Walter's empire speech with Jesse.
38. Jesse's Problem Dog speech at group therapy.
39. Everything about that Flash Forward in "Live Free or Die."
40. Saul continually wearing that airplane memorial ribbon.
41. Walter's talk with Flynn about his legacy to the family.
42. Walter getting pepper sprayed and arrested by the traffic cop.
43. Jesse buying his Aunt's house back.
44. Marie and Hank hugging in that elevator after he gets suspended.
45. How beautiful that train robbery looked on film.
46. How terrible that train robbery turned out for everyone.
47. The show waiting so long to use "Crystal Blue Persuasion" for a work montage and nailing it.
48. "I woke up. I found her. That's all I know."
49. That crib, that boy's scooter, that tarantula, that Pontiac Aztec, that busted ATM, and everything else made so iconic by this show's events.
50. "Jesse.. your actions... they effect other people. Sometimes... compromises have to be made. For the BEST of reasons." Just keep telling yourself that, Walter.

Fishsticks of the week: Birdie goes bonkers.

(Inspired by my boo)
Just think: In a couple of months, we're going to have Harmon-created episodes of Community. This has been an incredible emotional roller coaster ride and I'm glad to have ridden rode gone through this with the support of you guys. You guys are insanely awesome. Wait. I got that wrong. You guys are awesomely insane. There it is! We had hope in our little tv show and you know that Greendale practically thrives on hope though I'm not sure hope is going to get that toxic mold off the staircase. The fourth season had it's ups and it had it's downs but we've come full circle and we're going to leave 2013 with cool vibes, dude.
Bull testicles?

I've spent days reading about psychological disorders on Wikipedia, so I think I can help!
Your symptoms clearly indicate you have something called Frenchmen's Disease. The only known cure is to bleed three hours per day, eat a half-dozen raw potatoes, and sing "God Save the Queen" five times before a mirror. Something interesting to note, however, is that for some reason there have been very few reported cases of this condition since the 18th Century.
