Knocked out...

For months I've been hearing about how amazing Knocked Up was, and finally got the chance to see it tonight.

A short list of what blew:

• The chemistry between Seth Rogen (a supporting character at best) and Katherine Heigl (a walking set of boobs at best). There was nothing compelling about their relationship, or even vaguely real. They didn't even hug, that I can remember.
• The underutilization of Jonah Hill and the other potsmoking friends of Rogen's character. Almost every line seemed like outakes from "You know how I know you're gay" improv games.
• That Jonah Hill's character was named "Jonah."
• That the funniest person in the whole movie was the Asian girlfriend.
• The oddly formal conversation between Seth Rogen (son) and Harold Ramis (dad).

A short list of what ruled:

• The usage of "Shimmy Shimmy Ya" by Ol' Dirty Bastard.
• The pink eye gag. (marginal)
• The shrooms experience (specifically the hotel room chairs bit)

That's about it. The movie just failed to click...and I think it all centered around Heigl and Rogen's zombie acting style.

I got the new Liars, Aesop Rock and No Age CDs today. They all come out in August. Print magazines rule.
