Gunn can surprise you. A friend pointed out how every gun (heh) in S1 was a reflection of the person. Chris uses hilariously overcompensating weapons, Adrian is slick and precise, Ads uses whatever she's given and the Nazis all use Lugers and AR-15s.

In middle school they wanted my class to sing that song, walking towards a camera with a fresh from Iraq father of one of my classmates. My brain short circuited and I said "no, this is dumb" and sat out.

I'm not the biggest found footage guy but it's really good. It even covers my mild gripe with other found footage movies where they don't bother to justify why somebody's running around with a camera.

I remember getting in trouble for refusing to sing this for some weird little video my middle school teacher was doing. I remember they wanted us to walk to the camera and somebody's dad fresh from Iraq was in uniform walking with us. My brain short circuited and I said 'no, this is dumb.'

The big hope for continued pop success is Lee Greenwood, whose got the only crossover hit of the year, "God Bless the USA." The chapter is funny because otherwise no one respects the guy; if not for the twang he'd be an easy listening artist being played next to Air Supply

I still love the story of Mr. Wrestling II refusing to come to the White House because he'd have to unmask.
