Dane Cook could be the funniest man on earth. Anybody who can use a cashew as a comedic muse is simply genius. Unfortunately, Cook seemed to offer up a cold and bland performance on the premiere of SNL. Cook's opening monologue lacked everything that is Dane. His in your face stage presence was lost on the viewer, and his usually abrasive and satiric comedy gave way to mediocrity. Not all of it was bad, and it was certainly better than watching Carson Daly duff another delivery, but it simply wasn't the Dane Train. Maybe it's because Cook was limited by FCC limitations, but I would like to think that Cook is funny enough to have a great performance without relying on profanity and over the top sexual lingo. The SNL digital short, 'Cubicle Fight', was by far my favorite Cook sketch of the night. On the whole, SNL came out with a strong show to kick off their 32nd season. The Killers provided a much needed lift to the show with genuine and electrifying performances. After seeing this premiere, I'm unsure of Cook's new feature film, Employee of the Month. I enjoyed Cook's supporting role in Waiting, and was chomping at the bit to see Cook with other comedians gone actors in a seemingly all out laugh riot. And if not, then looking at Jessica Simpson for a couple hours is something I can most certainly handle, no matter how bad the movie is.

What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!

Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
