30 days of boredom


Yesterday, my friend L came over to watch a movie. I had a lot of movies laying around but we ended up with a thriller. We like thrillers, but this one was a disappointment. The settings, the initial idea and the beginning of the movie were great but then it suddenly sank very very low.
WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!
The movie was a bout a village in north Alaska were the sun was going away for 30 days (hence the title). The last day of sun, strange things begin to happen. All the cellphones are found burned outside town and all the dogs are murdered. Until now it seems like a good horror movie until you see that all the killing (because obviously people get killed) is made by some freaky zomwolfpires (=zombie+wolf+vampire) that talk their own satanic backwards language and that only get killed by the sun OR sun lamps but NOT by flames of fire because obviously the sun lamp is a lot brighter then flames!!! So the movie goes on like that with all the town getting killed except the hero, ¿his wife? (apparently they have some relationship issues) and maybe 5 others. Well I don't know how it ended because we didn't watch it till the end, but we FFWed and saw the sun coming up (after 30 days) and the couple survived (of course).


When I was watching the movie, I though these creature ware rather funny and not scary at all, until my friend went home and I was left in the room alone, imagining them popping out from everywhere.

Ashley, Sean and Pablo Francisco

Yesterday was a lot of fun!! It didn't start that good though. My friend and I had planned to go to a mexican restaurant before the show, but we were in a meeting that never ended. We actually had to leave before the meeting was over because I had to meet a guy I was selling my Madcon tickets to but hey that's another story. Anyway, when we finally were going to the restaurant we realized we only had 1 hour left to the show so we ended up going to T.G.I Friday's, ordered and just sat there chatting. After 35 min or more we hadn't got our food yet so we called the waiter and exactly as we though he had forgotten to place the order. Poor thing. I felt really sorry for him because I know how stressing it is to work at a restaurant. Anyway they offered us 50% off if we stayed but by then we only had 15 min left so we had to leave. They gave us some coupons for free appetizer or smoothie which is quite nice. The bad thing is that by then we were really hungry. I for example hadn't eaten all day because I know we were eating out and we couldn't just wait for the end of the show, so we went to Deli de Luca, bought some pizza rolls and Pepsi Max that we smuggled in.
When we got there I knew right away that the audience would be great because they were all buying drinks (I didn't think of that before!) and I wasn't wrong. People were totally crazy, screaming, laughing and making a LOT of noise.
Anyway, the show was great. At least the first part. It's started with Sean Savoy and Ashley Fils-Aime how were like the warm-up guys for Pablo. They were really hilarious and it was the kind of humor that I like, a bit like Def Comedy Jam. What I liked the most was that they had "local jokes", like about stuff happening here which means they have done some research. Really nice! I really appreciated!
After they did their thing Pablo came out and people went crazy! I have to be honest, it wasn't that funny. Ok, he has a real talent when it comes to different voices, he's really really talented, but he need to get some new stuff because spending like I don't know how much time just doing noises is a bit ennoying. There were no story, I don't know how to explain but it was like just different voices over and over again. I'm not saying it wasn't funny cause I laughed a lot but I was just not that funny (haha this reminds me of that movie title He just not that into you). Another thing that I didn't like that much was that most of the show was sex jokes and that can be funny but not when the whole show is about sex. I've always said that I feel that when comedians turn to sex jokes, they're not that talented. A talented comedian is one that can make jokes about everything, because using sex jokes is playing it too safe because it's something you know that people will laugh about. It's like making a fart noise to a kid over and over again because you know they will always laugh. But I had a lot of fun. I would give the show 4 out of 6 stars, 3 to Ashley and Sean and 1 to Pablo.

Who you foolin'?

Yey! Yey! I'm going to see Pablo Francisco tonight! I'm really excited although I'm keeping my expectations low because I don't want to be disappointed. I'm afraid he thinks that since we are a new audience and most of us have only seen him on tv or (in my case) on youtube, he could just use some of his old jokes, because that would be really uncool. I'm also a bit curious about how I'm going to behave because I've never been to a comedy show. I've seen a hundred on DVD and on those I've seen people laughing their asses off and clapping and screaming and stuff. Most of the time I find the jokes really funny, but I almost never start laughing loudly when I'm alone in my sofa so I don't know how i will behave tonight, am I going to just think "that was funny" or am I going to laugh loud like everyone else? I think that I'll probably laugh (if it's really funny of course) because I think laughter is contagious. Another thing I think about, is how is the scandinavian audience going to be? Like the american ones I've seen on DVD or very silent and cold like they usually are? I'll soon find out.


My favorite PF video:

"How long has she been calling you a puta?"
"Here, hold my baby!" LOOOOOOL
