247: Million Ways to Die in the West




"Can you give her 'wrapped' candies?"
"People die at the fair."
"Mila Kunis."
"That went south so fast!!!"
"Damn it Albert, no more friends!"

And many more! I have this movie memorized and each time I laugh, it never ceases to be funny. Even the bloopers make me die with laughter. This movie is great at making fun of the old west and those movies, while still being accurate to clothing, music and sets. I mean Seth MacFarlane, I had no idea he was a big fan of old westerns and even though he was making a comedy out of it, he made sure to make a true old western. Now, like I said in the previous post...this movie is not for the faint of heart. If you cannot laugh at literal shit in a hat during a old western draw, this movie is not for you. If you cannot laugh at someone mentioning all the ways the west is a horrible time period to live in with how many ways there is to die, then this movie is not for you. If you cannot even laugh at American culture and other cultures in one bundle of some down right ridiculousness, then this movie is not for you. If you cannot laugh at raunchy sex humor, again this movie is not for you. Let's see...have I covered everything?

Oh yes, if you cannot handle the fact that you cannot afford a mustache and the creams and lotions that go into it like poor Albert can't, then this movie...well this movie might just be for you. Ha, ha. This movie is all about poking fun at literally EVERYTHING! I have said this before, the world should not be a serious place. There are times you just have to laugh at the ridiculousness of things, especially things that people get so serious about.  Seth MacFarlane has always had a way of talking about the uncomfortable and making it hilarious. Now I never got into Family Guy, I did watch it a little bit and I really only watched it for Stewie, but even then it got too far for me to handle. This is probably the one thing of his that I have no problem with. You get some very famous actors in this and comedians, it kind of makes it a hidden gem.

I still remember when we first watched this, when my older brother just died laughing at Albert 'drink and horse.' Get it? How he couldn't stay on the saddle very well and I mean that is my brother, he laughs at sometimes the stupidest of stuff but he has a good sense of humor too. My favorite part in this entire movie, isn't even extremely funny. It is really just a reference that is awesomely made and that is where Doc from Back to the Future is in the old barn/shed working on the DeLorean claiming to be working on a weather experiment. Then Albert leaves and of course it zooms in on Doc and he says the famous line," Great Scott!"

The hardest part about this movie for me is the Mustache song, I always get that in my head and will have it in my head for maybe the rest of the night and into tomorrow. It is so catchy and I even didn't realize that he even said in the movie, "I can't get that Mustache song out of my head." He did that cruelly on purpose. Anyways, I could talk about this movie all night and I have done that before when telling someone how much they need to see it. However, like I said it is not for the faint of heart for all the reasons I have listed above. Thanks for reading and goodnight everyone!

397-461 The End

Last and final mass movie post! I finally did it guys/gals, I completed my movie goal today!!!! I can't believe that I watched 461 movies in one year! I also can't believe I own that many movies! Now I did give some away and weeded some out, but I mean, seriously. This is insane and I am so proud of myself. Finally completing something that I said I would do, that is so huge. The feeling of doing something like this and going through it, I know that someone can do anything as long as you are determined. There were days that I just didn't want to watch the next movie in line, I wasn't in the mood for it and I had to just do it. I will procrastinate like no other, but I somehow forced myself. Here are the remaining movies of the goal: THAT IS IT! Can you believe it? Now the moment of truth, the picture of my movies to show you that ye

168: Hobbit - The Battle of the Five Armies

First off...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Now I can get into the movie. This is my 2nd time seeing this one and I forgot that two people died at the end and not just Kili. I mean I cried, I cried really hard when the Elf King told her the reason why it hurt so much was because her love for him was real. My big emotional scale through this movie was, anxiety from all the battle going on, to "come on Thorin, get your head out of your ass", to "YAY THORIN IS BACK", to back heartbreak at the death of Fili, Kili and Thorin, to glad the war was over and Bilbo could go home...of course only to find out his personal effects were being auctioned off. I mean I know there is a lot of CGI in this movie and this one is my least favorite, but not because of that reasoning that is so many others'. I think it is because now they have to defend what they quested for and a lot of death. I mean you can't have a happy ending without fighting for it, but I definitely prefe

327: Riddick

Back to basics. To the animal side. The Furian side. Let's be honest here, the dog stole the show. We all want Riddick's dog, that one, not his brother or his sister, that dog. Now that that is cleared up, I do like that they went back to the rated R that this movie is and deserves. Yeah I do love the Chronicles of Riddick movie, a lot and it is my favorite, but there is something lacking. With this you also get the whole survival of the fittest, lone wolf, in the middle of nowhere man trying to find his home and who he is again. It also wouldn't be Riddick without throwing it back to the Pitch Black days. Aliens that come out in the cover of darkness or in this case, rain. Then you also get the father of the man who was being a douchebag in Pitch Black. You know, the one that wanted to kill the girl to save his own skin? Yeah that one. Glad to know that his father is a better man than he was, but kind of sad to watch him find out the horrible thing about his son.
