To be all the honest in Wisconsin, I found the trailer a bit under-whelming. It just didn't seem all that wonderful. Then again, it made it clear that there would be moments of undeniable wonder in the parent feature, so who knows, maybe that's all a trailer needs to do.
But I'm confident. I'm grinning on this back seat, I got Ice-T hollering away in my ear-hole.
"Alright, when we get up in this house all I want is the motherfuckin' kids. Far as Pops I don't give a fuck what you do, bust him in his motherfuckin' head. He got any money, take it…"
Baaa-ba-b-ba ba-ba-baaa-baaa
Best intro ever. Screeching descending adrenaline, right there in my lug-drums. "This is home invasion!"
A fella feels psyched. A fella feels like maybe this picture might be all he imagines it might be.
A fella feels hopped to the nuts on the force. A fella's midichlorians are running wild.
I got out the vehicle, bid farewell to my companions, and made my way up the steps, stopping for a smoke on account of some girls were stood around lookin' all too attractive, and even though a buncha psychopaths were tryin to bust their teeth open by way of some skateboarding shindigs of some sort, I felt calm, and aroused, even.
Probably I looked like some motherfucker stood waiting for a break in the weather so as he could raise a plastic bag filled with glue to his nose for the seventeenth time this evening, but no, that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm heading in here and god knows when I'll return, or what sights I'll see, or whose body I might study for ten or eleven minutes before they realize and throw a Gideon's bible at me.
It feels good, this anticipation.
Thanks folks.

Stunned silence, like at the end of a great Cyrano.
"Skinny arsehole I see. Bumping around, it is. Not long it took."
:-]
Thanks, for all of it, Duke.

Yeah, you really let the fingers fly, hell, they damn near migrated south!
Did you catch my post on Simple Tasteful Nudes? I ask because, even in your abruptly single state of mind, a bit more torture won't kill you.
A gal they had up three days ago damn near broke my heart, so pretty she was.
Enjoy!

Duker, a novel in "review" form, a walk through our very civilization at the near-beginning of the 21st century; a series of guffaws, chortles, belly-laughs, and snickers, interspersed a with slight welling of moisture in empathy with the profound sadness and death-grief without the satisfaction of death to support it.
I swear to God you will get over this woman, and she never appreciated you anyway.
I think I WILL go see the flick this weekend.

EO, thank you. I'm glad you dug it. I was a bit unsure about posting it to be honest, it is really very long-winded and self-absorbed.
And you MUST go see it this weekend. Society would stand for nothing less, i'd wager.
And Bennett, i can scarsely thank you enough for alerting me to said post. Excellently written, it was, too. And obviously welcome in these trying times...

oh, and duke, we count on you to be long-winded and self-absorbed.

My lord, Duke, the length. The Length!
I've had sex in less time than it took me to read that.
I've read Tolstoy in less time.
Ok, so there were a good number of chuckles, a lot of big smiles, and a couple of hearty guffaws too.
Truth be known I just skimmed the cliff notes on Tolstoy. And I've had sex in less time than it takes to read a haiku.

Duke, I've been holding off on reading this sure masterpiece as I've not yet seen the latest S Wars. I actually sat through the entirety of Attack of the Clones on network TV, no less, in prep... but it looks like it will be at least several days.
Anyway, just glancing through the comments makes me want to see the damned thing so I can get to the main course right here at the old BC stomping grounds...
