I have so much to do this weekend. It would be really great to be able to do things in montage time.<\/p>\n
As Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and other thinkers have pointed out, there’s really nothing you can’t do in a montage. You can build a house. Tear down a house. Fall in love. Train to fight the heavyweight champion of the world. Take control of all cocaine distribution in Miami. Save New York City from a plague of ghosts. You might be tired at the end, but you’ll be all done in two minutes and thirty seconds, three minutes tops.<\/p>\n
The only tricky part about montages is picking the right song for the job. For example, You’re the Best Around<\/a><\/cite> by Joe Esposito is a really excellent song for making it to the semi-finals of the All Valley Karate Tournament<\/a>, but a really lousy song for… well, hmmm. Actually, You’re the Best Around<\/cite> is pretty good for any montage scene, with the possibile exception of falling in love.<\/p>\n Oh, and speaking of tearing down houses: isn’t it amazing what you can do to residential construction with just a small hammer and an eight inch prybar? I could take apart my entire building with these things!<\/p>\n Not that I would.<\/p>\n Unless I really<\/em> ran out of things to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You can build a house.
