Project X is a party; there are high school kids, a free house with giant yard and pool, hot young girls, handsome young guys, middle aged men, a midget, alcohol, DJs, people getting naked, jumping off roofs, angry neighbors, broken household things, 1500 people, the police come, oh, and a flame thrower wielding lunatic. Plenty of elements for the king of crazy nights where nothing could possibly go wrong.

Told through found footage style storytelling, Project X tells the tale of Thomas, a high school kid turning 17. Thomas (Thomas Mann) had great luck that his birthday happens to fall on his parents’ anniversary.

The parents leave for a weekend getaway, and Thomas gets the house to himself. Thomas’ friend Coasta (Oliver Cooper) decides to plan him the biggest party ever while they are away. Costa is a street smart kid from Queens that throws the party to make sure his nerdy best bud, and himself, can get some popularity at school. Also along for the ride is their friend J.B. (Jonathan Brown), another nerdy high school kid of a huskier variety. Costa hires AV club geek, Dax (Dax Flame), to film the entire day for all the memories. It is through Dax’s camera that the audience gets to be on the VIP list for a wild time Thomas just wants a party of 50 people to make him cool, and not get caught by his parents. No one can go inside, so nothing gets damaged. They will have a whole day to clean up after.

This is a great plan, however, he lets Costa plan the whole thing. Costa decides to spread the word to insure a successful party. He texts, hangs out in the high school courtyard to invite the ladies, puts the party on a scoreboard, a radio station invite, and a craigslist post with the address.

Then Costa hires two children in security uniforms to police the whole event. The kids play some of the funniest roles in the movie and provide big laughs with their overzealous security enforcement. Again, nothing can go wrong here. Thomas has one minor success with the ladies, his childhood companion Kirby. He thinks he’s in love, but hasn’t made his move yet. He hopes the big party will be the time to tell her how her feels and hook up. Kirby seems to have a similar unspoken expectation for the evening as well. To complicate this setup, the devil in disguise is the hottest girl in school, Alexis. She is rather impressed by the party and determined to give the birthday boy a good time. J.B. is decked out in a suave suit to impress the ladies, and Costa is getting his fair share of action. Project X is a fun movie. Like a party, the movie is fun, you see things there that shocked you, and it doesn’t live up to your expectations. Project X had some very funny moments, but doesn’t consistently deliver. However, Todd Phillips’s (The Hangover) production team did manage to pull of one hell of a party, and it’s quite an experience to witness the chaos. The storyline is very predictable, but that’s to be expected. If you are going to see this movie, you should see it for watching the wild party, not the deep compelling storyline.

Useless Information An old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he’s lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old German Shepherd thinks, “Oh, oh! I’m in deep DODO now!” Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, “Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?”

Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in midstrike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.

“Whew!,” says the panther, “That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!” Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes. The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.

The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!”

The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that it’s difficult to determine whether or not they are genuine.

Dwight D. EisEnhowEr

GREAT GOLFING TIPS ~ Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing. ~ The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing. ~ No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse. ~ It’s not a gimme if you’re still five feet away. ~ You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of the time and a twoinch branch 90% of the time. ~ If you really want to get bettter at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier time. ~ It’s easier to get up at 6 a.m. to play golf than it is to get up at 10 a.m. to mow the lawn. ~ A good golf partner is one who is always slightly worse than you are. ~ Golf balls are like eggs. They’re white. They’re sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each week. ~ If you opponent has touble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or worse.)

Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, “What am I going to do now?,” but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says...

“Where’s that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!”

Moral of this story...

Don’t mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery!

BS and brilliance only come with age and experience.

2012 The Erin Express

The first says: “Aye, this is a nice bar, but where I come from, there’s a better one. At MacDougal’s, you buy a drink, you buy another drink, and MacDougal himself will buy your third drink!” The second then starts: “That sounds like a nice bar, but where I come from, there’s a better one called Quinns. At Quinns, you buy a drink, Quinn buys you a drink. You buy another drink, Quinn buys you another drink.” Then the third pipes up. “You think that’s good? Where I come from, there’s this place called Murphy’s. At Murphy’s, they buy you your first drink, they buy you your second drink, they buy you your third drink, and then, they take you in the back and get you laid!” “Wow!” say the other two. “That sounds fantastic! Did that actually happen to you?” “No,” replies their friend, “but it happened to my sister!”

An Advice Tidbit

Q:

Kati, I’ve been having guests over for dinner pretty frequently ever since my flambèed cheese recipie took off.

How can I make some more room for extra guests?

A:

It’s important to make good use of space. Floors can serve as functional dining room tables just as effectively as dining room tables, as demonstrated here: WildwoodMag.com | 27
