Troll 2: Prepare to have your life changed...


For the past year or so we’ve enjoyed spending time with friends finding and watching the worst movies we can find. It started with Return of the Living Dead with our friends Seth and Keri which is filled with countless one liners, an over the top story and some of the worst acting performances I’ve ever seen… I was confident that we had found one of the worst films ever created… I am happy to announce that I was dead wrong! With a little help from youtube we stumbled upon a delightful film called Troll 2… A film considered by many to be the worst film ever created.
Troll 2 is the exciting sequel to the forgettable Troll 1 which unlike its successor had impressive production values but a slow and pointless story. If you are unfortunate enough to have seen the first Troll movie, fear not! Troll 2 has no relation, in fact the film has no mention of Trolls except in the title… sorry folks only Goblins in this cult classic. This wonderful example of cinema history is filmed in Morgan Utah!
Troll 2 is a tale of Joshua and his family traveling to a small country town to participate in a house swap for the next month, landing themselves in the peaceful town of Nilbog. Once there, Joshua's dead grandfather returns to warn him of the evils of Nilbog and tries to get him to convince his family to leave. His parents and sister ignore him. Joshua learns that the town's inhabitants are actually burlap wearing goblins. And that their mission is to get outsiders to eat their goblin food, turning them into trees, where they can be eaten and devoured (the goblins are vegetarians). He must work with the ghost of his grandfather to rid the town of its goblins and restore peace to Nilbog.
The funny thing about this movie is that I’ve now watched this at least three times simply to watch people’s reactions and it becomes funnier with every single viewing. I would love to describe my favorite moments of this film but words can’t describe this wonderful mess of a movie. You’ll ask yourself how a script like this was ever financed and created.
There are movies that are bad. There are movies that are so-bad they're-good. And then there's Troll 2… a movie that's so bad that it defies comprehension.

The Smell of New Carpet!

So as of yesterday we now have carpet and the place is near completion! All we need is have the countertops installed move a couple of kitchen apliances and we're good to go! Last night we began moving stuff we can go without for a week and with only twelve days left to go we're doing pretty well. Our apartment downtown is becoming larger everyday. Everything seems to be working out pretty well and we expect smooth sailing...

Incubus Concert!

Several months ago my beautiful wife surprised me with two tickets to see Incubus! I consider myself to be a huge Incubus fan and I was stoked for this awesome gift Ali gave me, all I had to do was gain patients to wait for the show. Last night was finally the concert and after a busy day of school, packing and what not we left for the USANA Amphitheatre with Al's sister Stacia. We arrived early so we could get a decent seat since we were on the grass section which is first come first serve. We got a great seat right against the gate so there would be nobody blocking us, we spent several hours patiently waiting for the show to start and were amused at how many underage kids were caught drinking.


The opening band was The Duke Spirit which did a good job but I of course was to excited for Incubus to really care. Finally a little before 9pm the show started and to our surprise the four feet between us and the gate, was filled with a crowd of people who rushed forward for a better view & decide to stand the entire time... kind of a bummer but I didn't let it get to me (usually these things really make me a little upset.) I'm to tired from waking up around 6am for work to share details but to put it simply... the show was amazing and was a great event to take our minds of the stresses of work and school.

Last night was a wonderful example of how amazing my wife is! She isn't really into Incubus herself but she was willing to spend her time and part from her hard earned cash so that I could finally have a chance to see one of my favorite bands. We're approaching our one year anniversay and I'm reminded every single day of why I married this incredible woman! Thanks again Allison for a wonderful night! I know there are plenty more to come!
