Day 10: Part 2



I just been watching several episodes of The Boondocks, probably my favorite show on TV at the moment, easily!

If you haven't seen the shit, it is probably time you started to check it out. There are only about two seasons out right now, and each episode is pretty much self-contained, so you can pick it up anywhere.
I'd describe it as an anime, with a very kind of "Gangsta" type style, but mostly, it is just hilarious. The animation is really good, more what you'd expect from Japan.Most of the storylines are very funny with lots of references to pretty much everything you can think of, and deal with a lot of subjects you might not find on other shows.

I know you can usually catch it on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim", Monday at 11:30
After doing some research, for your benefit, I found out some other schedules, so maybe you can catch a few episodes:

March 11, 12, 13 and 14 it is on at 12:30AM and 3:30AM

If you want to catch an episode with Lil Wayne in it, it is on March 17th, at 11:30PM.

March 18 also airs the series at midnight, 2:30AM, and 3:00AM

Be sure to check it out. You can also find torrents of individual episodes and the first season DVD several places, if you know how to use those.

Definitely would recommend the show!


After I finish writing this (and watching another episode of The Boondocks), I'm going to watch Southland Tales. It was directed by the same guy as Donnie Darko.

It has Justin Timberlake in it... haha "eww gay", yeah, but he was pretty good in that Alpha Dog movie and a few others (Black Snake Moan). I am also kind of nervous about "The Rock", Seann William Scott, and Sarah Michelle Gellar in it. I'm kind of worried it might suck.



The review that got me to get this movie said:


"This isn't a movie for most audiences. You won't relate to any characters, and you won't follow or really care about the preposterous plot. It is dark and cynical. And despite it's heavy-handed political story, there is no deep, introspective meaning behind anything whatsoever. This is why many people won't get it, and thus will hate it. It's a dark film with a dash of comedy and a heavy dose of LSD. But there are enough funny moments to save it from feeling like a depressing, bad trip."


I'll tell you how it turns out in a future update.
