Well, here we are. The first strip back from the extended storyline that concluded last week. It’s a little jarring for me to try and get back into gag strip mode. It’s kind of like turning the ignition on a car that’s already running. It makes that horrible grinding noise and then you feel like an idiot?
Yeah, kind of like that.
I haven’t seen Friday Night Lights yet, but I’ll admit to being curious about it. The reviews HAVE been good. Cami and I were watching Dinner For Five on IFC and they had both Billy Bob Thorton and director Peter Berg talking about it. It helped to generate interest for me. Cami even said we should go see it.
I guess there’s just something in the back of my head that says “Don’t bother.” It probably has more to do with persistent sports movies cliches…

I read a really good review of Friday Night Lights. Let’s go see that!
Oh, okay! Let’s see… How about…
No.
Sports movies are all the same.
A rag tag group of misfits are assembled, lose a few games, before learning to work together as a team.
Against all odds, they make it to the championship and win having learned valuable life lessons about each other.
It’s the same emotional crap and I won’t fall for it.
Whatever. Look, I’m going stir crazy in the house and it’s the only movie critics aren’t outright panning. We’re going.
LATER...
So what did you think?
OH, MAN! The way the team was able to pull it together at the end?!
I didn’t think they could do it, but they proved me wrong!
And the lessons about teamwork?
WOW! Best movie of the year! SERIOUSLY!
