Charlie Bartlett

I actually want to see this movie really really badly! It has two people from one of my favorite shows, "Degrassi: The Next Generation", in it. I find the whole concept of it kind of funny. I mean in real life, no kid would be able to get away with a drug deal that public. It just is extremely humorous. In a way this reminds me of Superbad. I don't know why. I guess you could say it is almost the same kind of style? But, this movie looks extremely funny. The really cool thing is everyone can probably relate to at least one of the different people's problems in the film.

Bo Burnham: Teenage Comdian Genius

http://youtube.com/watch?v=LZoO8LyizLA

If you haven't already heard seen some of Bo Burnham's songs on youtube, check them out. This is just one of the many hilarious songs Bo has created. This particular song is called "My Whole Family...". This song is (a joke) about how his family thinks he is gay. This song is entirely a joke and is in no way trying to make fun of gay people. I showed it to one of my gay friends and she laughed.
I think this song is possibly his best song. First of all, this is his first song he ever posted. Secondly, the lyrics are truely amazing. Take for example:

I think that God might think im gay,
What does he know anyway.
My grandma gave me a present just last year,
and the card said, "Happy Birthday queer!"

I have to wonder how he even thought up this song or it's lyrics but, whatever it was, he did a great job making a song out of it.

The only thing about this video I might have changed was the keyboard was extremely loud, louder than his voice and it kind of gets screechy at certain points, but other than that it's really cool.

As Bo gets older in his videos he gets cuter. If you like this video, be sure to check out his other ones, they are all funny too. His songs are about all different things. He (jokingly) pokes fun at different things. For instance Helen Keller. (That song is called "The Perfect Woman" and it is hysterical!)

I simply love Bo and his work, deffiently be sure to check him out! He is extremely talented, I am very impressed by him. He is extremely creative and funny. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
