The strange thing is that Pullman is a really funny comedic actor, just not in Spaceballs (he's hilarious in Ruthless People, for one).  But I agree; how can you lose with golden-age Moranis, Candy, Brooks and Joan Rivers.

Yeah, I appreciate what he was doing with Life Stinks (trying to update Sullivan's Travels for the 90's); I just don't think he did it very well.

Great Random Roles.  I really love the folks that have Hollywood in perspective.  That Ray Milland Honeywagon story is just so sad and so true.  I absolutely love her in Tender Mercies (I really love everything about Tender Mercies), and I'm so glad that she still pops up in quality TV and movies (and Hallmark stuff,

Tender Mercies is in my top 10 for sure (definitely my favorite of the 80's).  Once you see it, you realize what a completely unrealistic botch Crazy Heart is (I'm convinced that the folks falling over themselves loving that movie had never seen Tender Mercies).

I would've never thought I'd just stop watching The Amazing Race, but this season I just stopped.  Somewhere like the 5th episode I didn't care anymore.  It's a bit of a relief actually.  Glad to know that those folks won over the other folks; maybe I'll see you next year Amazing Race!

Just thought of The Lady from Shanghai with Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth, if we really want to go old school.

That's great.  They could've even gone with Long Kiss Goodnight (which damn well shouldn't have been a flop, but oh well).
