Let the Grievances Begin
Today is, of course, Festivus. And with Festivus comes the traditional airing of grievances. Not to mention acknowledgement that we stole the idea from the Daily Quickie column on ESPN.com’s Page 2. So, in celebration of the most holy of holidays, we here at Sfist would like to air our grievances.
SFist Watches: Movies This Weekend
There are so many reasons why Team America: World Police is our big budget pick of the week. Let us count the ways: 1)Dude, puppets. Who f**k. Yeah. 2)That pompous ass Sean Penn is lampooned in the film. We already thought his performance in Mystic River approached brilliant self-parody, but this takes the extra step into genius. Finally, there's 3) Our sworn Nemesis Mick LaSalle who gives it an empty chair. Given that our (and we know we're not alone) long-standing motto is to believe exactly the opposite of whatever LaSalle writes, TAWP must be the greatest movie of all time. Did we mention the f**cking puppets? Anyway, you can catch it at any of our local metroplexes.
