You need a laugh

I got into some other stuff and haven't had time to check my usual sources for blogging ideas today. As a diversion, let me offer this review (in it's entirety) of the Jamie Kennedy breakdancing epic Kickin' It Old Skool, written by my Link magazine colleague Katie Sholler:

Sometimes movies affect its audience so profoundly that they can’t be addressed by simple prose. Sometimes they stir an emotion so deep, ring a chord so abstruse, that only the rawest of poetry will suffice. “Kickin’ It Old Skool,” you have moved a plebeian to haiku.

“Skool” spelled with a “k”
“Kickin’” spelled without a “g”
The movie’s best jokes

Terms like “tubular”
Hammer pants and jamboxes
Should not two hours make

Have you ever been funny?
Much better in “Scream”

Zero percentage
Nobody thinks this is good
Rotten Tomatoes

Namedropping old trends
Webster, He-Man, Atari
Audience gets mad

20 years later
His clothes still fit when he wakes
Boy in a coma

Were stereotypes
OK in 1980?
Racial profiling

PG-13 -- Sholler
