Trying Too Hard

The following is a real gchat between Matty and Becky. It's chock full of wit and insight, and trying too hard. This is very special and behind the scenes, like, more behind the scenes than that time P. Diddy video blogged himself peeing. I thought about editing it to make it more interesting, but that'd be dishonest and I'm all about truth in comedy and thinking about writing a book about that. I did add visual aids.

Becky: let's have a funny gchat conversation and then post it on the UCB Comedy blog

all the hip people do that

and... scene.

me: how's the data job?

Becky: you mean... my data job with the president on the moon?

it's okay

(that's anti-heightening)

me: no it's less than just okay, it's so-so

(that's a heightened anti-heightening)

so i'm personally glad we finally attacked the moon

Becky: me too

me: it'll make us better prepared for triffid attacks

Becky: hang on i need to google triffid

holy shit

me: it's a plant that makes everyone blind and attacks, but also from space

Becky: triffids are scary

me: if i remember correct

yeah

shyah

Becky: yeah you're right

Do you know what else I'm scared of?

Humanzees

me: i don't need to google that to know it's terrifying

Becky: like, i'm afraid i'll give birth to one

me: yeah it'd be terrifying

a cross between a hummer, an ant, a zebra, and bees

Becky: i know- a horrible carbon footprint mixed with the least adorable animals

me: hey, zebras are dark-horse cute animals

they'll surprise you

just kidding, they're not dark, they have stripes

hahahahahahahaha

I'm so glad Rofl and rofl finally tied the rofl

me: did you see last nights the rofls? I can't believe rofl went through with marrying spencer.

Sent at 11:56 AM on Friday

Becky: oh, rofl! i missed it! I instead watched "Rofl and a Half Rofl" on my DVR last night

me: that show's been downhill ever since the third rofl

Becky: i know, but i still like it

it makes me roll on the floor laughing

I also really like How I Met Your GPOYW

me: i do not know what that means

but i chose to read it phonetically and leave it at that

Becky: ok

one more thing

I never told you this before

My favorite movie is What's Eating Gilbert GPOYW

Admittedly, we lost it at the end there. And what was that, a political cartoon? That was pretty unacceptable.

EARLY LEAK OF PIXAR'S UP!

OMG 1st Wolverine now this u guys!!!11

A Matty Smith Movie Review: Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Disclaimer: Matty Smith does not have any expertise when it comes to film criticism, nor does he claim to. He will also say that Music and Lyrics and Zack Snyder's remake of Dawn of the Dead are both "pretty great movies." Just a little heads up so you know where he's coming from.

Whew. I was gonna write a review of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, but that disclaimer took a lot out of me, what with the switching back and forth between italics and whatnot. I'm almost not in the mood anymore. It was also in third person, and we all know that I wrote it, so that's pretty arrogant of me. I apologize for that.

A review would also include a lot of switching between italics and non-italics every time I had to say the title, and as I said I'm pretty winded on the typing/html front already. Not to mention the need to figure out the proper shortened title (Escape 2 Africa? M:E2A? Escape? Animal Movie? The One That is the First One After the First Madagascar?). We're all busy people with places to go. We don't need to read a movie review right now, especially when Rotten Tomatoes is out there.

To sum up, I really enjoyed the movie that I was talking about earlier. The first was awesome, what with the animals and David Schwimmer and that Borat guy and all, and I felt that the second was almost (if not just as) awesome. There were also a couple moments where I laughed pretty hard and the mothers of young children stared at me wondering why I was there, so that was good.

I give Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa:
Three and a Half Madagascar: Escape 2 Africas out of Five Madagascar: Escape 2 Africas.
