    Lisa Loopner and Todd, I thought, recurred just the right number of times—not too many, not too few, but just right.

    That's damning her with faint praise. She played well with others but she also had the charisma to carry a sketch by herself, just as well as Belushi or Murray or Eddie, or anyone else you want to name. Because her movie career was a bust, we tend to forget that on SNL she was a true star.

    Yeah, it's about time some brave thinker came along and took that Gilda Radner down a peg, amirite?

    Anyone up for some Chick Fil' A?

    Horsefeathers has a lot of musical bits, but it's still their fastest, funniest movie, IMO. Another early one that deserves more love is Monkey Business.

    Yes, that explains why Don Rickles, Howard Stern, and Daniel Tosh have been blacklisted from the entertainment industry.

    Saying "whitey" over and over again, however, gives your comments an unmistakable air of authority and gravitas.

    This reads like a Stephen Colbert monologue played straight: We have a black president so racism no longer exists!

    Yes, this obscenely wealthy woman's multimillion-dollar TV contract MUST be renewed forthwith or I shall lose all faith in humanity!

    He should play more villains. I don't buy him as a nice guy, but he's utterly convincing as an a-hole. See also Magnolia, which I didn't like but I did think Cruise was outstanding in it.

    That's one thing that annoys me about both "Heat" and "Thief"—how the hell did these safecrackers also become Seal Team Six-level combat pros? That particularly bothered me in "Thief" because  it just comes out of nowhere at the very end of the film—suddenly James Caan, who was hitherto depicted as a sympathetic

    You and your DOGGIE.

    Butane in the … something.

    Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. That was one of many bizarre, off-target sideswipes in this review. Maybe he doesn't know what the term "vanity piece" means?

    Don't call it that.

    That was not a minor mistake.

    I guess it's just a gesture.
