[15:07] jtp: so Coffeerooms needs that nacho review. i thought we could do it on IM
[15:07] rgp: good plan
[15:10] jtp: so yea
[15:10] jtp: you wanna just do it now?
[15:11] rgp: I gotta get in the shower soon. think it'll take us long?
[15:11] jtp: hey, that's nacho review
[15:11] jtp: i think it'll take about 5 minutes to be honest
[15:11] rgp: Hey, that's not cho lee bray
[15:11] jtp: we've already started as far as I'm concerned
[15:12] rgp: started what? I just want to talk about Nacho Libre!
[15:12] jtp: ugh hold on one sec
[15:12] rgp: rofl
[15:16] jtp: ok
[15:17] jtp: thoughts on nacho
[15:17] rgp: I enjoy them with cheese
[15:17] rgp: And I think it's sweet he gives nachos to the orphans. What a guy.
[15:17] jtp: ok, thoughts on nacho libre : i found the movie entertaining though not really up to par with school of rock or napoleon dynamite
[15:18] rgp: No doubt about that. It doesn't stand up in comparison. In fact I was a bit surprised I didn't enjoy it even more, being an actual wrestling watcher and all.
[15:19] jtp: and the ending seemed a little odd. usually these type of comedy fluff flicks have like a uplifting morality thing at the end, but in this there was no real resolution between his love of the church and his desire to wrestle
[15:19] rgp: Yes, but he did get the girl!
[15:19] jtp: but all in all, totally entertaining. we don't come to these movies for the plot so much
[15:20] jtp: yes, but the girl was a nun! so, who wins? God, or wrestling?
[15:20] rgp: Well, being an avid comedy watcher myself (unlike you) it was much less than I expected. The jokes were in the accent and the choice of words. Not so much the story.
[15:21] jtp: i don't know why you always say that about me. Who here has seen borat? mm hm
[15:21] rgp: That's true. Touché...sorta.
[15:22] rgp: You have to admit, I'm the more likely candidate to sit down to a night of Adam Sandler/ Will Ferrell
[15:22] jtp: i love me some jack black. the jokes are a little deeper usually than your typical scary movie or whatever parody type stuff
[15:22] rgp: It's true. Jack usually takes it to a whole different level without even trying.
[15:22] rgp: He didn't go there this time though.
[15:23] jtp: yea it just wasn't quite LOL enough
[15:23] rgp: Let's talk about our favorite matches. Mine is hands down the wrestling match with the two twin little monster guys.
[15:23] jtp: yea that was twisted! those little guys were freaky
[15:23] rgp: Wish I could remember what they were called. See how it stuck with me?
[15:24] jtp: all of the matches were definitely high points.
[15:24] jtp: my favorite parts were the matches and the singing. jack black + singing= hilarity. always
[15:25] rgp: I'm also a huge fan of the sidekick, Esqueleto (played by Hector Jiminez)
[15:25] rgp: When Nacho goes to get the free nachos from the back door of that restaurant and Esqueleto swoops in to steal them? Hilarity ensued.
[15:26] jtp: yes
[15:26] jtp: oops
[15:26] rgp: Never mind the scooter Nacho rode throughout.
[15:26] jtp: so what have we learned?
[15:27] rgp: What have we learned? That every actor, even Jack Black, has a moment of weakness.
[15:27] rgp: A parody on a sport can go amazingly well (Talladega Nights) or mediocrely (word??) bad.
[15:28] jtp: I think everyone assumed that jack black + napoleon dynamite people would automatically = awesomeness. and maybe they assumed that too... its a fun movie but in the end it just doesn't stick much
[15:28] rgp: Yeah, I give this one a "rent it"
[15:28] rgp: good thing it's not playing on the big screen anymore. ROFL
[15:28] jtp: yes good thing you can now own(rent) this shiny new nacho libre
DVD
[15:29] rgp: I AM glad that we own it. Even though it wasn't fantastic, I have no doubt I'll watch it again in the future.
[15:29] jtp: ha! word
[15:30] rgp: word.
