Super Frat

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die! Today’s contestant is Brett Gelman, funny guy on Adult Swim, amongst other places. Let’s see what he’s tweeting.

@brettgelman

June 12th: “America today is like Nazi Germany knocked up The McCarthy Era in the back alley of a KFC.”

And yet, the pretzels and beer haven’t gotten any better.

June 12th: “One thing the Minneapolis airport needs more of are white guys that dress like they’re hunting and golfing at the same time.”

Oh, like you want to be caught on the eighth hole without a gun when a 9-pointer runs by or one of your friends makes fun of your swing?!

June 12th: “By 2018 walking will be completely replaced by heavy stomping.”

I’m sensing a theme. An angry theme.

June 12th: “Twitter is the new Klan rally.”

Wow, then Facebook must be like racism times a million. And Reddit? Forget it.

June 12th: “Just told the guy next to me to be careful of my computer while putting his bag in the overhead compartment & he asked me if it was plastic”

He’s on a plane, no wonder there’s so many tweets.

June 12th: “My thoughts go out to all of the victims and their families in Orlando. What a horrible tragedy.”

Speaking of angry.

June 12th: “Our possible future president is using this attack as a justification for racism. This is how Hitler came to power people.”

Okay, now he’s angry.

June 12th: “Funny that Trump does not at all mention homophobia or bigotry. Oh wait it’s not funny. It’s not even interesting. It’s just ignorant.”

South Park nailed it.

June 13th: “You hate! I block! Not interested in discussion. I’m interested in getting the people who agree with me to get off their asses.”

To do what exactly?

June 13th: “DINNER IN AMERICA JULY 1st on @adultswim https://www.instagram.com/p/BGnfbwfSXBS/”

Hmm, more comedy weirdness no doubt.

8 hours ago: “Suits are the only thing suits have to offer. That being said…. I like suits some times.”

Wait, the suits are giving away suits? Nice. Usually they somehow charge for that.

7 hours ago: “Narcissism meets Desperation. Gimme attention. Like me please. Make me famous. https://www.instagram.com/p/BGphPkgSXA6/”

Ah, yes. Instagram.

2 hours ago: “Just finished @ClassicShowbiz book: The Comedians. It is so fucking amazing. You have to buy it. You must read it.”

Hmm. I’ll have to check it out.

2 hours ago: “I just realized that I should run for president. Am I too late?”

As long as you’re willing to give out a TON of handjobs at the Green Party rally, no.

Okay, let’s rate Brett’s tweets. Kind of angry/funny, but I always sorta got that vibe from him. Genuine though. I give him a 9 for Insanity, an 8 for Style and a 10 for Mustness. That’s an overall score of 9. Follow Brett and watch his show.

Frat Boy At the Movies: X-men: Apocalypse

by tonyd on June 12, 2016 at 3:45 am

Sorry for the late post. Just got back from the movies. Look for Your Fratoscope on Monday.

So, X-Men: Apocalypse? The verdict, it’s good, if you’re up on your X-men lore. Those who don’t know why Olivia Munn is wearing so much purple or why Storm has a Mohawk might be confused. Bryan Singer does a good job of integrating a lot of story. Included in this movie is Stryker (which means you-know-who, makes a cameo as Weapon X). The origins of Cyclops and a reboot of Jean Grey with Sansa Stark in the role (Sophie Turner).

However, so many characters pop up here including Quicksilver, Nightcrawler and Jubilee, that some of them don’t even use their powers. The Apocalypse villain is so marginalized, it simultaneously makes his evil plan quick, his powers insane, but the response equally insane. It makes the ending a bit, well, simple. One plus, however, is that Olivia Munn is pretty badass and not annoying.

Magneto gets the majority of the character development, along with Mystique. But that’s mostly because the two big actors (Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence) are in those roles. Singer does his best with a comic book crossover that was convoluted to begin with. Unfortunately, by the time you do the wind up, reintroduce the big movie characters, cram in the big comic book characters— Well, let’s just say it’s a good think there’s a lot of teleporting and Quicksilver to move things along.

The Missus was lost through much of the movie, probably because she could only draw from the last X-men movie and what she vague remembers from the first two from years ago. It’s a lot to process and it means a lot of character development gets dropped for exposition and plot. Although the movie is fun and exciting for comic nerds, there’s a lot of retreaded ground here. (Unlike, say, Civil War, which had a huge reveal at a key moment.)

The movie does set up a new X-men team which (since the old X-men movies have be rewritten due to the time travel in Days of Future Past) means that Singer might actually get to keep doing these.

I give X-men: Apocalypse a 7.5 out of 10 keggers. Not as bad as some critics say, but it’s definitely for those of us who read the comics.
