So I just realized that I haven't updated my blog since Thursday night (or Friday morning), and for that I apologize. I try to keep this updated, and this was just a very busy weekend....so, this post will be to cover my weekend activities.
Saturday - The Second City - No Country for Old White Men
I hit up Chicago's famed Second City Comedy Club for their newest show, "No Country for Old White Men". I've been to the Second City before ("War! Now in its Fourth Smash Season"), and I love the place.
This show was built into 3 acts...the first 2 were mainly scripted, and the last was a bonus improv act. Of the 2 scripted acts, I loved the first one, and thought that the second had a bit too much filler.
The third act was fantastic, and I was literally laughing so hard that I was crying...
if you can, check it out, you won't regret it. Plus, if you go on monday night, its pretty cheap (like $8 or something).
Sunday - Into the Wild
Watched Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" on Sunday. Its about a guy named Chris who graduates from college, and decides to become a drifter and wanderer. He renames himself "Alexander Supertramp", and slowly drifts west from Atlanta, ultimately ending up in Alaska during the middle of the winter.
While I'm not going to pass judgment on the message of the movie (note - watch the movie for the message, its interesting), I thought that the movie was a bit drawn out. Penn could have cut about 15-20 minutes out of the movie without losing the message, but altogether, the acting was absolutely fantastic. If you watch this movie for any reason, see it for Emile Hirsch....he rocked in this movie!
