Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

This summer has already had its fair share of rainy and cold days so what better to do on those days than see a movie? This is what I told myself as I purchased a ticket to see the same movie for the second time.

Next time you find yourself stuck inside on one of these rainy days just staring out the window and thinking about what Taco Bell burrito you wish you were eating, go to the movies and make sure you see "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping."

Now, I never claimed to be a movie critic or even have the slightest of refined tastes but if I had an Oscar I would probably give it to Andy Samberg for his newest movie.

"Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping" centers around an ego-centric Popstar who just broke away from his original boy band. You watch as Connor For Real rides the ups and downs of stardom and burns about every bridge imaginable. Connor For Real closely resembles a young Justin Bieber and the characters draw on attributes from many hit sensations such a Macklemore and Tyler the Creator.

If you took your favorite SNL skit and combined it with every rapper ever you would get this movie. It rides the line between catchy lyrics and comedic genius. The movie has cameos from just about everyone: Seal, DJ Khaled, Simon Cowell, Emma Stone, and even Justin Timberlake.

If you aren't already driving to your local movie theater from the raving reviews I've given, then once you hear the soundtrack you will for sure run to grab your keys.

The movie features the three members of The Lonely Island and they spare no subject when writing the songs for this film. They sing about the assassination of Bin Laden to the Mona Lisa. These songs are nowhere near politically correct but unlike Donald Trump, they sing to make a mockery of today's popular songs not to offend the masses.

Also, it doesn't hurt that Andy Samberg might as well be in the running for the cutest goofy guy around. Samberg exudes the aura of over-joyed puppy and everyone's second-grade crush. He is the guy you hope to meet at a college party, the one who entertains you with witty banter instead of cheesy pick-up lines.

Just look at that face.

So, hopefully, you enjoyed the stab I took at a movie review and you actually go and see this movie. You won't regret it, or maybe you will, but either way at least you're not inside thinking about Taco Bell burritos.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
