Saw a sneak preview tonight...didn't go in expecting much. I used to be a HUGE fan of the D but lost interest as JB became a Hollywood power player.

However, this movie was actually pretty good. Big ups to Liam Lynch...the pacing was totally not typical blockbuster stupid shit, and lots of great cameos (I even picked out a masked Mr. Show alumni, because I am a geek - other Mr. Show alumni are in it too of course).

Go, but go baked. I think that's how I'll do it if I see it again.

I'm still surprised this movie even saw the light of day with all of the hoopla and reshooting.

Man, a lot of good movies out now.

pretty awesome, although the ending was sorta odd. it just sorta stopped.

but the end of the credits made it all okay again.

the car chase scene was hilarious.

I kinda wish I hadn't become so familiar with the soundtrack before seeing the movie. I found myself waiting for all the songs.

and they mis-used "Dude (I totally miss you)" in the flick, imo
