a brief e-mail exchange

Undeclared. What a fucking good show. i don't want to hear you compare it to freaks and geeks or any of your bullshit. i just want to hear you say it's a fucking good show. i don't want to hear you be all like "it's a pretty sorta okay show" or any of that wishy-washy junk. i want to hear you say something emphatically positive, utilizing the work "fucking". no no no. sorry, charlie. none of your funny "it's a pretty sorta okay fucking show" malarky. jesus christ, i wasn't born in a remote commune. i know your game. i've seen you play people like a ten-dollar fiddle with
your big-word exposition. not this time, charlie brown. piss or get off the pot. i want to hear you say it. The acting is great. The writing is great. The reference to boobs every 2.3 episodes is great. Yeah, the Freaks and Geeks cameos are great, too. Don't misunderstand me, boy. Bill with the long hair, Kim Kelly as Kelly, Neil as the frat guy. Okay, that wasn't so hot, let's not mince words here. That was not very good at all. NICK. Fucking Nick as the jealous copyshop boyfriend. Fucking nice. He looks more stoned than he did in Can't Hardly Wait and he was supposed to be stoned in that movie. Effing Kyle Gass as copyshop co-worker. That tronguering gag was superb. Effing Slums-of-Beverly-Hills-Benny-the-Bookie-Neil's-big-brother dude, too. I like that dude. I should find out that dude's name. Calling him "Effing Slums-of-Beverly-Hills-Benny-the-Bookie-Neil's-big-brother dude" just really interrupts the flow of a conversation. They shoulda let him sing. The creepy Freaks drunk old party-crasher guy as the janitor. Fine cameos by Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller. Adam Sandler not so much. Mr. LittleJeans as Pagoda. Wait. Strike that.

Marshall: funny.
Loudon Wainwright: funny. like "Dead Skunk" funny, and that's funny.
Stephen Karp: he's funny, dude. he does a totally decent Keanu to boot.
Ron: funny enough.
Lloyd: well, he's not funny. Who cares? i don't care.

it's a fucking good show.

tom:

Still there? Good. Now I want you to post this whole exchange as a review for Undeclared. Just copy the whole damn thing and plop it down on the website. Whoomp, there it is. Except maybe you shouldn't copy the part where I tell you to copy the whole damn thing. Especially not where I say "Whoomp, there it is." Or maybe you should. I don't know. That's up to you.


shawn:

I won't.
