Let's Refer To the EADJ As "Snazzy," Even Though That Word Makes Us Feel Incredibly Uncomfortable!

Submitted by John Reid, a headline that came very close to becoming the next blog masthead.

Old People Don't Give a Shit.



They just don't. What are you gonna do about it, whippersnapper? Were you in Korea? Have you ever sailed a skiff in the Pacific? Did you ever finger Debbie Reynolds? Cuz they have.

Goddam youth. PULL UP YER PANTS!

Coming Soon to the EADJ Crappinema: Sol Goode

We at EADJ already have a serious backlog of crappy movies to watch, due to the 2-for-1 combo DVDs that we've acquired. But one glance at this bad boy at Pathmark, and we were SOLD, son:


Carmen Electra? Sweet. Cheri Oteri? Okay. Tori Spelling? Awesome. Jamie Kennedy? Yay. Robert Wagner? Fuck yeah. So it's essentially a Shoney's salad bar of random actors in what appears to be a cheeky, coming-of-age comedy.


The excellent blurb from the back:

Who is Sol Goode? Sol Goode (pronounced "good") is the man! Sol and his boys live in the lap of luxury. They have everything going for them except real jobs, steady relationships and money! The charm, good looks and fast-talk have carried Sol and his friends through life, but his luck may have just run out. After a string of bad luck leaves him facing eviction, a wrecked car and the threat of actually having to get off his butt to work for a living, Sol finally figures out what the meaning of life is. He is in love with his best friend Chloe. She's beautiful, smart and is the only one who doesn't fall for his 'game'! Now he's on a quest to win her heart. Whether you're crude, lewd, or just a slacker dude it's ....SOL GOODE!


So right when he's about to learn about personal responsibility, he falls in love with his best friend? Huh? What does that have anything to do with anything? I cannot WAIT to watch this.

Aiming For 300

And Now, Ugly Andrew Gall With How To Travel During a Heat Wave


I've recently married Ugly Megan and went on an ugly honeymoon, so this advice comes fresh from my experiences:

One of the worst things that can happen during a heat wave while traveling is an automotive breakdown, so when things heat up be sure to check your car’s coolant levels, oil, tire pressure and the like. And if you have any concerns about the state of your vehicle’s durability, hunker down somewhere until cooler weather returns.

It goes without saying you’ll want to stay hydrated, so buy a styrofoam cooler and fill it with ice and cold drinks— especially healthy ones that aren’t too loaded with sugar. Cold packs can also come in handy, especially if you don’t have the luxury of air conditioning all the time. And try to drink at least eight cold glasses of water every day! Eat smaller meals and eat more often, which is easier on your system than just having three large meals a day.

Follow these easy rules, and you too can have a nice ugly time in these fine United States that we call America.

The EADJ Crappinema Presents Da Station


Remember that great show "WKRP?" And the urban comedy smash "Barbershop?" Well, the makers of Da Station saw them, too, and figured they could make something as good or better. Problem is nobody amongst them knew how to write dialogue. Or a plot. Or knew how to type it up on the computer. Or knew how to fix the printer once the "low ink" light came on. So the movie was pretty much a neato premise with an impressive cast that slowly falls apart due to no story. By the end, it's such a flaccid pigfuck that I'm surprised anyone showed up at the last day.



























And with all hip hoppers, it always ends in violence (did white guys write this?).

$5 to anyone who can decipher what these two guys are mumbling.









So by this point, the filmmakers were throwing pretty much everything against the wall to make the movie interesting. One of the things they threw was a Miss Big Booty '96 pageant full of more terrible stereotypes! Yay!

When you're writing a comedy ("urban" or not), I understand that you often have to create broad characters and situations to get the funny. But to have two types of characters: the jackass clown and the straight, boring one who isn't a jackass clown, you're just being lazy.

Overall grade: F
