The Blues Brothers: First impressions

Let me tell you about the wonderful person you all know as Roomie. Roomie was out in that hot misery that some people call a city. He was out with a car. The car had a cooler in it. I don't know where either of those things came from, but that's incidental, we don't care about the story of how Roomie became an ice ride pirate. Actually that sounds awesome. Anyway.


So I'm coming off of an episode of Star Trek which I'll post about later because I'm really lazy and whatnotlike. Roomie shows up. He has a cooler. Inside the cooler is a tub of and I don't even know where he found it or how he knew but it was a tub of Moon Mist.

Now my second favorite flavor of ice cream is Tiger Tail. Tiger is "orange" ice cream with chocolate stripes; it's garbage, don't buy it. Tiger Tail ice cream is orange ice cream with licorice stripes. It's beautiful. It's splendid. We got it from Chapman's and they put ice cream in boxes, not tubs, and oftentimes they have designs such that if you slice the ice cream rather than scooping it, you get this slab of frozen hello beautiful that looks like a thing - the Canadian flag, for instance, or a checkerboard. Haven't had it in a long time, miss it dearly, it was the best.

My favorite ice cream? Moon Mist. For those who don't know, Moon Mist is banana, grape, and bubblegum ice cream all swirled up into this pinky, purpleblue, pale yellow frozen hello beautiful and it tastes like enchantment and summer memories. It's also usually only available from ice cream places where you'd go to get a cone, and I am of course in a no-cone state right now. AND SOMEHOW THE BEAUTIFUL CRAZY MAN FOUND A TUB AND IT IS IN OUR APARTMENT.

Also we have pizza.

So I just want you all to know, coming into this one, that I am having a very good day so far and I hope this will continue the having of the day that is very and good.

Got a fan on, pizza and ice cream, and some good friends on hand. This should be choice. I know nothing about the movie except that it is about brothers who may sing the blues or be named Blues or be colored blue or maybe cause the blues. I've got nada. Except pizza and Moon Mist.

That's a dark and industrial-lookin place

That is bleak as hell, right there. This is gonna be a dark movie, isn't it.

Prison?

Correctional prison. Corrected re: prison.

Man don't mess with a guy who's sleeping. It's rude.

I feel like Faceless here is our main character. Why else would they be hiding his face?

That is a seriously big jail they've got there.

Jake. Hello Jake. Or maybe that's the name of his hand. Who knows.

"One gold lighter. Hello Sozay."

ONE SOILED. WELL THEN.

Hello hands named Elwood.

I get the feeling the man dresses in black.

And he signs with an X. Clearly a man of great intellect

This fellow also dresses all in black.

I found The Blurs Brothers, you guys

Nice beat on this song. Low and lazy wait isn't that a cop car?

They look like gangsters.

He traded a car for a miWHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN SEE THAT

Priorities bad.

Causeway. Many bad memories of roasting in a car waiting for one of these.

Wait wAHAT ARE YTOU DOING OOOOOOOOOOOOOookay then

What city is this? Did they say?

Orphanage, eh?

Is he Batman? Wait they're calling a nun "the Penguin?"

Well that wasn't creepy. Orphanages always have automatic doors. Watched over by Particularly Crucified Jesus. Leading to Psychic Nun.

These two don't appear to be in the face-seeing business.

AHAHHA Jake don't fall for it man WHACK you earAHAHAHA AHAHAHA HHAHAAHA YESSSSS

SHE'S GOT ANOTHER ONE

BAHAHAHAHA ohhh that's gotta suck to fall down stairs in a desk

Alright, the nun is VERY spooky. And I agree with Mr. Style here

Hold the phone blowing the harp? Also he totally just gave them a quest. This is an inn of sorts, they're drinking at a table, and he just gave them a quest. To see a cleric.

Oh let's have us a good run at Amazing Grace. Hey Reverend.

When he woke up this morning, he heard a disturbing sound. Now you know too

Oh here we go let's have a song HEY IT'S A BIG NUMBER TOO

What's up with him he's shaking like anything

AHAHAHAA YESSSSSS MAN HE DOES SEE THE LIGHT

JESUS H TAPDANCING CRHUST

Now that's a pretty griggin nimble stout fgella, just saying

The band? The band. The band? Can I get some of that light?

Maybe not right now, actually, I cannot afford to try dancing like that rirght now

 That was pretty catchy.

So they're going to go around collecting the members of a musical group?
\
HAHA A"I took the liberty of bullshitting ya"

Something tells me these two don't mix well with cops

HAHAHAHAAH WELL THEN THAT'S A THING ISN'T IT

Right well they won't add this to your record.

AHAHAHAHA "They're not going to cath us, we're on a mission from God"

That's a terrible way to escape. It's a parking lot.

YES. PARKING LOT BADWHATTHUEFUCK

WHATTHE WHAT IS HE WHATA RE THEY WHY ARE THEY CHASING THEM INTO A MALL

GOOD THING TOO, YOU'RE DRIVING A CAR THROUGH IT

ohhh it hurts to laugh
\
Jake why are you pointing out shops, are you asking him to drive through them next?

Tat looked like a nice set of drums too

YES IT DOES HAVE EBERTING, INCLUDING HIGH SPEED CHASES because you two are morons aren't you

hahaha the cops are just so screwed here

HAHAHA UPSIDE DOWN COPS

The music's just hilarious in context too

AND BOOM we're out of there!

Love the car hiding spot

Hey look they're in Rocky's neighboorhood. Poor, dark, damp and under the trackWAIT I KNOW THAT FACE

Okay so what the hell just happened it looked like someone trying to assinate Jake with a rockey launcher

AND THEY'RE JUST OKAY WITH THIS. Who the hell are these guys?

"YEAAAHahhhwaawwokay"

Cheese Whiz what

That right there is a special kind of charming decor. Who else has their own train every five seconds

Ah look, they really are brothers

People live like that. I'm just floored by how honest I KNOW that is, like KNOW just deep inside that there are places where that would be luxury.

Didn't falsify those records hard enough, ElwooI KNOW THAT FACE WHO IS THAT

THAT'S LEIA THAT'S PRINCESS LEIA

WHAT THE FLIPPING MOTHER WHAT DUCK HFUCKING HELL VABLAZES S SHE DOING

No time for your demolitions. Mission from God. Excuse us please.

He's going to become a priest. "Well okay."

Hehehe the total sincerity of this man, I love it

They're going after a guy named Bones. I would give by other shoulder for it to be Dr. McCoy.

HAHAHA I just realized they must look just like detectives

MR MAYOR?

Please tell me this isn't the band, they're making me sad. And I've never heard a trombone play that hight

Allo Murh. Steve. DONALD MOTHERFUCKING DUCK. THAT'S THE MAN'S NAME

Oh well that'sprobably bullshit, right?

NOPE. That was a facial expression of NOPE

PARFUL NUFF TURN GOAT PISS INTO GASOLINE love it

Mr. Fabulous and Matt Guitar Murphy. What the fuck are these names and why are they not my names. This is a HAHAHAHAA I love it the mission from God comes back again. Ultimate trump card - quest from a deity.

THINGS NOT TO SAY ON THE PHONE: "Didn't you get five years?"

So what's the man's real name

Ohhhh this is gonna be a thing isn't it I'm already sold

So then a demon dog eats a guy right outside the windows and nobody cares

Someone's panicking. This one's the hardest of hard sells, I think

HAHAHAHA I mean They Smell Bad

Don't talk back to Elwood, he's got NO TIME FOR YOUR STEMWARE

I'm with you little girl, this is hilarious

OH HE DID NOT HAHASHAHAHA OHHH FUCK NO

I think the acroemnu for that comes out to Asswipe

Rectums. It's "rectums."

I'm with you, Jake.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LOVE IT

So now they've got Nazis after them. Can they go piss off Vader and a dinosaur next, because then the whole thing would just be on.

Hot damn that looks like a place to be. Packed summer streets, live music, street stalls, fooood

That's some great pick-up kind of music. Solid groove. "I love that talk." Damn straight. "A-haw-haw-haw-haw" hehee lobing the old Crush and Coke logos, too and that's the happiest looking child

I want that man's hat

So that's the guitar guy they want. I like him

I'm with you, lady, dry toast is nonsense

HAHAHA Jake, that sounds like the best thing right now. Four whole fried chickens.

WAIT does that mean he alwas orders that? Cause that's fuckin awesome

This guy's the first one who just straiht-up wants to see them. AND WAY TO PISS OFF THE AUTHORITY, ELWOOD

NO TIME FOR YOUR BLASPHEMY hehehe

Ohhh you done fucked up there Matt

MUSICAL NUMBER. LOVE IT

THE PIPES ON THIS LADY, HOLY SHIT that voice

I don't know how he's not part of the wall, getting sung at like that HAHAHA man on the counter just wailig awa on the sax AND NOW THEUY'RE DNACING TOO. THIS IS SURREAL AND JUST AWESOME

fREEEEEDOM!!!!!!!!

 Goddamn I want to go to a diner like that now, they're just the best places

HEHEHEHE and sax man's just running off to join them

HEhehe "Curl up and dye"

Hey there Crayz Princess Leia AND A FLAMETHROWER MANUAL. WELL THEN.

So is this the whole band now?

Love music stores too. Really I just like being places. Or maybe that's the trapped in an apartment talking

 Oh boy don't steal from a blind guy. Or is he blind? I think he's blind.

kid looked so sad I'm sad now

He's got a real stiff way of holdinHAHAHAHA "I'll throw in the black keys for free"

Ray, you're already my favorite.  And there's already a dnace group outside AND HORNS YESSSSS

so are we just all musical numbers all the time now because I AM ON BOARD WITH THAT

BEND OVAR LET ME SEE YA SHAKE A TAIL FEATHER

Massive street dance party. Awesome.

Super enthusiastic bird dance man

Arte tjese allr eal dances??

Like what the hell this is so awesome these are all real aren't they

Ohhhh it hurts to clap

Paused.

So like... this is a musical movie in disguise? Because this is fantaqstic. I mean, the other song was great, but these are like.. dance moves with crazy names that they've got this whole group doing all together and I have to ask myself "were these like actual crazes at some point?" I'm pretty sure at least some of them had to be, and the song's just great for it too. Is the man actually blind? Are the band actually playing? I don't know how much is true and how much is show but I don't even care because it all looks like a ton of fun. Like, when Jake told the band they'd never had more fun than when they were all togehter, I get where that comes from now because HOLY SMOKES that is some damn fun music. The horns were dancing, the guy with the tamourine getting in on the action, and our two nutty leads just going all in on it.

Folks, I'm ready for more. :D SO READY.

Resuming.

Man I feel bad he's not getting paid for that stuff. Ray, you're the best and a half

Did they really just tape an X over the other band's logo?

"HAve I ever lied to you?" Bet that's a yes

Ghostbusters, of course. That's who one calls.

OH HOLY SHIT psychopathic pigtails Leia

WHACK HOW THE HELL ARE THEY ALIVE

annnnnd they made a profit on getting flamethrowered and blown up. How about that

HAHAHAA ATHE ADDRESS STRIKES AGAIN

Wait so like their actual last name is Blues?

Okay then.

"That's naaaahce" uhhhhh that accent.

AHAHA Both kinds. Counery AND westermn. O\m with you, Eldwood, this is NOT the place.

Hoyl crap the enthusiasm Jake'\s putting on. Guy's nots.

Why is there chicken wire over the stage

This sounds good. WALL OF BRASS.

Oh shut the fuck up you assholes this is real music

WELL THEN. That explains the chicken wire

Jake does not look impressed at all

Wait wat they like this music so they're STILL throwing beer bottles? WHAT the hell is wrong with these people

Elwood's having fun at least

NO SMOKING. WHIP. Best no smokling campaighn ever, I think
