Wednesday's Wonderfully Witty Words

-So I've watched the first two episodes of "The Colbert Report" (silent "T" on both mind you) and am still up in the air about whether it's worth watching regularly. On the one hand, it certainly retained the charm that made the Daily Show great. Colbert's "gravitas-off" competition with Stone Phillips was also hilarious. Just not sure if he's worth watching every night for a half an hour. His biggest flaw is he just isn't as likeable as Stewart. Speaking of which, for those who watched last night's show, what the fuck is "The O'Reilly Factor for Kids"? Is this a 21st century Hitler Youth manual or what?

-This week's "Curb" definitely bolstered my view of the show and made me hopeful that they maintain that level of outrageous humor. The whole kamikaze sequence at the end was hysterical. Funniest making fun of somone who attempts suicide ever btw.

-Lastly, finally saw "Elephant", Gus Van Sant's take on the Columbine massacre. and to blunt, it sucked. about half the movie is spent following the characters walking,talking, vomitting and basically doing nothing of substance. I know the point was to make it seem like as normal a day as possible, but this technique wore thin after 15 minutes. A quick check of Rotten Tomatoes shows most critics (75%) liked it, which further proves that movie critics don't know shit about movies.
