Danny McBride brings home the bacon

Leave a comment

Danny McBride is like the bacon on a cheeseburger. Without it, the burger is still good, but there’s just something even more delicious when you slap a couple pieces of bacon on top. Like the extra flavor from the bacon, McBride brings that extra level of funny to everything he touches.

I first took notice of McBride way back in Hot Rod, the critically panned comedy starring the guys from The Lonely Island about a guy with a moped who longs to be a stuntman. McBride played Rico, a crass member of Rod’s crew, and instantly captured my attention with his overly serious and incredibly hilarious delivery.

He was also one of the main reasons I went to see Tropic Thunder, the Ben Stiller/Jack Black/Robert Downey Jr. action comedy about a group of actors who find themselves in the midst of actual warfare. Though I wanted to see the film anyway, I was over the edge when I heard that McBride played a pyro crew guy opposite Nick Nolte. Again, I wasn’t surprised when McBride stole all his scenes, though I was a little disappointed that he wasn’t in more of the film.

McBride solidified his place as my favorite comedy cheeseburger garnish with his stellar turn in Pineapple Express. Like the cheeseburger, the film was excellent to begin with, but every scene with McBride as Red had me laughing so hard I couldn’t catch my breath.

Naturally, I ran home ad added The Foot Fist Way to my Nexflix queue, anxiously awaiting the DVD’s release. Yesterday, I finally received it and popped it in the DVD player. […]

Courtney Love with Frances Bean Cobain Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance Billy Corgan and Courtney Love

It looks like Frances Bean Cobain is going to have a pretty amazing Sweet Sixteen party which will feature My Chemical Romance.

Courtney Love was pissed off at Billy Corgan and decided to take to the internet to address it (never a good idea) when she wrote this angry post:

I just like the idea that Gerard et al. are upstanding young men who don’t want to make a little girl cry… or at least that’s the way Courtney paints it. I told you MCR were super heroes.
