"Welcome to good burger, home of the good burger, can I take your order?"
There's two kinds of people right now; Type one, and I imagine the significant majority, are people going, "What the hell is this movie?" The alternative is the group of people going "Oh shit! I remember that movie."
This movie came out in 1997 and stars the infamous duo Kenan and Kel from Nickelodeon circa right around that time. This pair did star in one other movie, Two heads are better than none, where in they and Kenan's family are trapped in the mansion of a murderer who hacks the heads off his victims and uses them as his own. It's really quite an enjoyable (and despite that description not making it sound such) funny movie. But this post isn't about that movie, so let's talk about this one.
In this movie Kel is a none-too-bright employee of a small fast food joint called good burger, good burger faces some new competition when a new restaurant from the large chain, mondo burger, opens up across the street, meanwhile an unlicensed Kenan gets into a car accident and manages to get the guy to agree not to tell the cops if he pays for all the repairs, so he gets a job working at good burger over the summer to pay for it. The movie shows the battle for supremacy between mondo burger and good burger.
Kenan and Kel are a hilarious pair of mother fuckers, and basically everything they've done is pure gold, what best helps this move is how utterly fucking oblivious Kel is, like the scene where he gives a man just a top and bottom bun after the man ordered a good burger with nothing on it. Kel then proceeded to argue with the man that a meat patty is something, and her ordered a burger with nothing on it.
This movie was great when it came out, and it has in no way gotten worse, it's still a wonderfully enjoyable film, and it's on Netflix now! If you haven't seen this, and you have Neflix, now would be a perfect time to have a laugh.
9 good burgers out of 10
Well, I will say it's interesting to see the nerdy fat kid from Drake and Josh killing Koreans with an AK-47.
That may be one of my favorite starts to a post ever. Alright alright plot. It's not that tough with this one.
Korea gets the bright idea to airdrop troops over America, not sure who the fuck thought that was a good idea. Anyway Korea shows up and says hey we're in charge now. A marine just back from the front lines named Jed Eckert decides that he's so not going to take that shit, and recruits his brother and a group of their friends to form a guerrilla resistance unit to combat the Koreans. The group takes on the name Wolverines in honor of the local school mascot and begin to give their subjugators hell.
Idk if I hear a review of this that said it was shit, or I was associating it with the idea of the game Homefront, which I heard was shit, or if for some reason my brain just assumed this was shit, but for some reason I thought this was going to be shit. I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be not shit. It's not outstanding, fairly run of the mill really in terms of military action movies. Gunfights, bad guys dies, more gunfights, good guys die, more bad guys die, explosions, more gunfights, more bad guys dying. There's nothing earth shattering here, you're not going to be missing some truly impressive if you skip this film, but I do feel like my thinking this was going to be shit (whatever the reason behind that) was incorrect. Everything here has been done before but it is done fairly well here. If you're looking for something to kill some time with you could do a lot worse than this.
6.5 insane koreans who thought invading America would go over smoothly, out of 10
Fun fact: This post average one usage of the word "shit" every other sentence, not sure why I was using that word so much today.
It's a new month, which means I get to do one of these again. I wonder if the people of YouTube have been listening to things I'm not going to like again..... probably.
#1 Top Tracks: One Republic - Counting Stars
Hey, this doesn't fall into the category of music I don't like, quite the contrary this falls into the category of music I do like. Prior to this song I hadn't much from One Republic (aside from apologize which got waaaaay too popular a few years back) and well, honestly I still haven't heard much from them just one more song. But I do really find this song enjoyable, the music is a nice back up to the singer giving his verbal middle finger to the norms of society. If they keep making things like this I may have to hear more from One Republic in the future.
#2 Pop: One Direction - Midnight Memories
Well, their last song wasn't that terrible though I still did poop on it a little bit, alright let it play. And we're back to terrible, that didn't last long. I really do not like this song. The lyrics are boring and overly repetitive, the lyrics are boring and overly repetitive, the singing is certainly under the quality they proven they can give... or at least be remixed to, the music is only just barely present, trying desperately to augment this shit and finding it difficult to build on something so worthless. Ugh, you almost pulled yourself off my shit list, but you just couldn't manage that now could you?
#3 Electronic: Avicii - Hey Brother
Well this band seems to be making something of a name for themselves. I know their song wake me up turned out to be massively popular. Dispite generally liking electronic music I don't really follow it or I might have more to say about this band. Oh, there's someone singing in this, hadn't expected that. Actually, this is just a dude singing with a guitar in the background and some percussion..... how the fuck does this count as electronic music? It's not bad, it's not really my thing, but this is in no fucking way electronic music. If you played this and asked me to give it a genre electronic would be very near the bottom of the list, somewhere around polka, and death metal, two other things this is surely not. Want some actually electronic music? Try Skril- Hahaha! Couldn't say that with a straight face. In all seriousness though the track after this Martin Garrix animals is a nice song and is actually what I'd call electronic music.
#4 Top Tracks: Lorde
Damn I like this song. And we'll never be royals! I'm glad this got popular. Two thumbs up, if I had more thumbs it'd be more thumbs up. And that's all I have to say about this one.
#5 Country: Florida Georgia Line - Stay
May as well rename this shit the Taylor Swift section she basically owns the damn place. I'm pretty sure anyone else has to send her a letter asking to be allowed in. The only song I've heard from this pair before is Cruise, and... I was not impressed. Let's try this one. 30 seconds of no music, god I fucking hate music videos. Apparently the singer was being a massive douchebag, and now his girlfriend has left and he wants he to come back and stay, probably so he can be a douchebag to her again. So in respsonse to her leaving the dude decides the proper response is to send her one text, then burn his fucking house down when she doesn't reply instantly... er trailer, not house. The song? It's boring and forgettable.
