Trust me…

Tenancious D in the Pick of Destiny and what that means for the 19th of December…

Along with Ian, JB and Charlie I went to the Pick of Destiny last night, it was entertaining but not the roaring comedy that I was expecting. I hadn’t heard the music beforehand so it was all new and to be honest it doesn’t sound up to the previous record, that might be harsh though. I think that one of the main things that spoiled it was the fact that I’d seen most of the funny bits before in trailers and/or programs about the film.

*Spoiler(ish)*

The bit that made me laugh the most was the ‘Strawberry river’ bit where they then cut to JB in the water.

*Spoiler Over*

This goes back to what I was saying in the Bond post about the trailers revealing stuff from the film and when I try and stay away from the them. Charlie and I were talking about the D’s film a few days ago and we were saying that there will be funny bits and that it’ll be how they link them together that will decide whether the fim is good or not. Unfourtunatly the film doesn’t really keep the laughs going enough from scene to scene. Again the films funny and as Ian (Who also spotted Lee) says in his post it was a pretty good waste of time - that said I enjoyed it more than Borat. Now some people have been going fucking crazy for Borat but I didn’t think it was that great, perhaps a six and a half. The box office doesn’t seem to agree with me though.

Am listening to the new album and it’s nowhere near the first.

What does this mean for the 19th of December and the D’s gig in London? Well I’d like to think that it gives them more material to draw from that will make it a better show. I think that the main draw for a D gig is going to be them onstage rather than the music par se but they’ve got to have some kick ass tunes to get everyone going and I don’t see that they’ve got any new ones. I’m still looking forward to the gig though - I wonder what the Foo’s are up to around that time of year…?
