As your attorney, I agree, and advise you to take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my shaving kit.

I saw the first Kill Bill in a packed theater that included a 6-year-old girl. By the time we got halfway through that animated O-Ren Ishii animated sequence, the mother finally removed her from the theater.

HE WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN

I saw this in the theater and I still remember being mesmerized by all the machinations of the third act (in the garage, then the showdown at the bodega, and finally the scene in the bedroom).

[Cool story, bro alert]

There's a great photo of the time Chevy came back to host. It was the curtain call, and Murray looked like he was ready to kill Chevy.

@avclub-d324a0cc02881779dcda44a675fdcaaa:disqus It felt like an R, since PG-13 didn't exist and back then most of the PG movies I was allowed to see probably contained talking animals.

I have an appointment with my neurologist today. Jennie appeared on episode 13 (thanks, Internet researching tool!), but dammit the rest happened just as I remembered it!!!

You and I are about the same age, and Meatballs was one of those forbidden R movies I could only watch when it was mercilessly edited for television on WPIX or WOR (in the NY area).

It's because she went back in time and got messed up by Tom Hulce in Animal House. I blame Harold Ramis.

Extremely Useless Caddyshack and Chevy-Chase-is-a-dick Trivia ALERT
On the premiere episode 13th episode of Chevy Chase's very ill-fated late-night talkshow (yes, that happened and yes, I'm old) his first guest was 90210's Jennie Garth. (Stay with me here.) Garth was in awe of Chevy and told him how to this (that) day,…

Supposedly Chase and Murray improvised their scene together, which wasn't written, when everyone realized that they weren't in a scene together.

NICE. I didn't know any of that.

Doug Kenney, who fell off a cliff in Hawaii, which makes one wonder what else he would have done had he not died so young, is also known in Animal House as THE STORK.

A couple of somewhat related Groundhog Day things:

I would say that Christmas Vacation 2 (yes, that really happened) was the lowpoint of Randy Quaid's career. Other than his recent headlines hiding in Canada or whatever.

Agree. When the movie runs on cable, I'm satisfied to change the channel until the end, when they're all getting off the plane for the Animal House-like (and American Graffiti-like) "where are they now" montage.

@avclub-29501df08e5d9ae59e432e4f188d3735:disqus I wasn't much of a fan of Chevy Chase or the Vacation series, and I remember my local paper giving Christmas Vacation a really bad review (and John Hughes wrote it, and I was very anti-John Hughes at the time — shit, I still am), but one day I finally watched it and now…

Is this a good place to bring up Martin and Orloff, the "UCB movie"? That one got so-so reviews, including confused reactions who never heard of UCB (or watched their brief Comedy Central show). That's another film that's widely uneven (it even ends very abruptly), but I'd recommend it because though there were lulls,…

This is true. Also, Ebert supposedly HATED lasagna and LOVED Mondays.
