I have made it a point to avoid going to movies in the theater unless they are Bollywood. Why? Because if I’m going to pay ten bucks to see a movie, there damn well better be three musical numbers.<\/p>\n

Prince<\/span>, was playing down at the local Austin multiplex, and Julia (my food-frakking deputy) and I had the theater virtually to ourselves. <\/p>\n

This is simply an awesome movie. As you can tell by the trailer.
\n
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s list some of the reasons why this movie is awesome. <\/p>\n

1.) In the credit-sequence dance number<\/a>, the hero is not only dancing on a floating platform shaped like his initials along with a phalanx of chorus girls, he also shouts out "let’s rock this party tonight," which is the most awesome thing anyone can shout ever in any situation.<\/p>\n

2.) The hero is an international jewel thief who has wrist-mounted grapple cables and a skin-tight body suit, two things that make it easier to steal things.<\/p>\n

3.) While serenading the love of his life, the hero does wheelies on a racing bike, then does wheelies on the bike while the chick is in his lap, all the while singing.<\/p>\n

4.) Did I mention that he was doing wheelies on a military airfield?
\n<\/p>\n

5.) In his secret lair, the jewel-thief hero has life-size velvet paintings of Batman and Spider-Man, which is an awesome thing to have in your lair because it reminds you of the awesomeness you can aspire to.<\/p>\n

6.) Apparently India has a foreign intelligence service that keeps secret underground headquarters in junkyards in South Africa.<\/p>\n

7.) Also, India has invented a technique for extracting memories.<\/p>\n

8.) Two words that ought to summarize the ultimate of awesomeness: Hang-glider-mounted machineguns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
