American Splendor

From an email sent by my friend from high school:

So something special has happened for Jssh and me that all y'all need to know about. Basically it goes like this. Ten years or so ago I was spending one lonely school night at home in my basement watching a positively terrible movie about a girl dating two guys who somehow convinces the two of them to comfortably date her at the same time called Splendor.


To put it simply, this movie kind of, you know, sucked, and the biggest problem with it was that the lead was this totally hot Canadian chick named Kathleen Robertson and I waited throughout the entire damn movie to try and see her naked and she never took her clothes off throughout the whole movie. There was a threesome scene! What the fuck?

The next day I arrived at school with my tale of woe for one Joshua Maxwell Sherman only to hear from him that he had had the same experience. Both of us were sucked in by the promise of boobs only to be disappointed after wasting 87 precious minutes of our Tuesday night.

It has haunted us to this day.

HOWEVER, Starz recently began airing a show where Kelsey Grammar plays the badass mayor of Chicago named Boss, which is actually pretty good, but in a desperate bid to show how serious Starz is in producing and airing serious drama they've decided to have at least one or two entirely unnecessary nude scenes every episode in which Grammar's top assistant bangs his chosen contender for governor of Illinois.

AND WHO IS THE NUDE ASSISTANT? Kathleen Robertson. And she looks phenomenal.

We did it, Josh. We did it.
