Alright, I don't think a lot of you are getting this...

This is pretty much the greatest work of art ever committed to cinema. Think otherwise, and I will fight you. I sh** you not, I will throw down RIGHT now....

Okay, okay, I'm sorry. That wasn't called for. I mean, I haven't been emotionally moved by a movie about time travel like this since I last saw The Notebook on mushrooms (that was about time travel, right?). Or maybe I'm just confusing The Notebook with the film version of A Separate Peace (which was fantastic, by the way. Particularly the scene with the tree limb being "jounced").

Anyways, more to the point, Taylor Root is pretty much the BEST actor ever. His sheer ability to identify with the complexity of the human condition transcends him beyond the other acting greats of our era such as Oedipus, Steven Seagal, Hillary Duff, Eminem and Keanu Reeves.

And, don't tell anyone this, but..... I know Taylor Root. Like, he and I went to high school together. There was this one time, in 10th grade, where this colostomy bag named Brian Condon (we call him Sh**face, and rightfully so) was like, "Taylor, now listen, I don't appreciate you coming over to my boathouse and mocking my small dog that sort of looks like an enormous rat, but still is RIDICULOUSLY cute." Then, out of nowhere, Taylor just busts out an ATV that was actually used in the making of Durango Kids and just smacks Brian in the a** RIDICULOUSLY hard. Brian was in a ridiculous amount of pain. He looked like this, but only worse and with an ATV hitting him in the a**: http://community.webshots.com/photo/308932448/362577779MxLDhj

Moral of the story being, John Brian Condon is a little bitch and should really not talk so much sh**, particularly in regards to the Durango Kid.
