This caught me the same way Bad Rep did. Hook, line and sinker.

After that first night together, I could tell that Garrett really liked Riley and as much as I liked her, she wasn't very nice to him, and it annoyed me. Okay, so he did tend to come across as some weed smoking, alcohol drinking, pain in the butt but because I knew he liked her, I felt sorry for him.

After a lot of up and down moments between them where most of the time they cant stand to be in the same room together, they finally reconnect, but not without a good reason for it and I'm sad that it happened.

I think Garrett is one of the nicest guys ever, when he ditches the sort of idiot persona he puts on when around people he isn't comfortable with, and I think he and Riley are great together.

Looking forward to the next book in the Bad Rep series!

"I like a lot of Lou Reed’s records but before I got into him, I heard this record in my college dorm, courtesy of [Pixies guitarist] Joey Santiago. I knew that I liked the record but when I got into listening to it again, some years ago, I realised: I know the record really well. I really like the production and sound of it. It’s very toppy and it’s got some really good sounds. It’s very thin, 70s rock radio production. I’ve never really met Lou. I mean, I’ve been in the room with him on a number of occasions on tour and hanging out in the same breakfast rooms, but they’re situations when you don’t want to bother someone. I don’t remember the Quietus interview where the guy compared me to Lou Reed, but right now if someone wanted to mention me and Lou Reed in the same breath, it’d be a huge compliment. He’s obviously one of my rock & roll heroes."

Not the best Will Ferrell movie, not the best Adam McKay movie... not even the best Will Ferrell *and* Adam McKay movie. It's sloppy, looks like utter crap, and the comedy is largely hit or miss (the Steve Carell stuff particularly - working at about one hit for every four misses). All that being said however, when this does hit it's absolutely fucking hilarious and features some of the most cripplingly funny moments I've ever seen in a comedy film (that scene with Ferrell, Armisen, and the cat poop is an all-timer). What this lacks in presentation and consistency it makes up for admirably in categorical absurdity. If this were more polished it'd be a deadpan hall-of-famer about a bunch of colorful (literally and figuratively), dopey goofballs dabbling in real proud juvenility. Instead it ends up being a really good comedy, but there's room for some refining. You won't see me complaining about that too much, though. The cameos are close to flawless.
