"One Crazy Summer" earns its existence in spades with the scene of Bobcat Goldthwaite in a dinosaur costume stomping all over a scale model of a town.

That's one of the lamest thing about mainstream comedies, the perceived need to give the audience a real movie along with the ridiculousness. The most obvious example of why "Billy Madison" is the best Adam Sandler movie is that at the point where "Big Daddy" or "The Waterboy" have the moron learning some kind of…

How different is the plot?
Like a lot of people I've seen the John Wayne version and never read the novel. How different is the plot of the new one from the original movie? I want to see it one way or the other, but I might be able to talk my in-laws into going to see it on X-mas if I can assure them it isn't exactly…

"Rob Roy" had a fantastic score, too. And it strongly suggested that 18th century Highlanders didn't wear underwear of any sort.

There's actually a mellower version of "The Freshman" that's a lot better. The one that was on MTV and radio is a remix that adds a lot of really generic guitar.

Wow, the only word I ever understood in "Swallowed" was swallowed. I had no idea what the rest of the lyrics were, but now I know. So, good for me.

They originally rated "Clerks" NC-17 for language, but Miramax hired Alan Dershowitz to bitch at them until they changed it.

And amen GracieLaw. I was constantly cringe-laughing every time Annie as Caroline opened her mouth.

They snagged the idea of Robin having a sidekick from another continent from the British TV Robin Hood in the 80s with a score by Clannad and Ray Winstone as Will Scarlett. They had a white guy play the Arab, though, instead of making him a Moor.

"Althugh the book was written during the second world war while Tolkein was fighting agaisnt the Germans - It's impossible to imagine it may have effected his worldview at that point - crazy"

They're not that hard to find in Michigan. I grew up next door to a reservation and had an Indian for a short story writing professor in college. They have casinos, now, and are pretty wealthy in theory but that hasn't necessarily trickled down to all tribal members.

That's funny. "Losing Streak" and "Pezcore" both have those songs. Or soo I remembered and wikipedia tells me I'm right. It's a fine feeling. Wikipedia doesn't explain why they re-recorded not particularily different-sounding versions, though.

L7, indeed. I actually didn't listen to them much at the time, but GTA made me realize "Pretend that We're Dead" was pretty great. "Wargasm" is the best, though.

This does seem like the perfect thread to complain about the injection of politics into.

Matt Lauer is fake? Just what sort of realness are you looking for from someone who's been judged bland enough to be on national TV in the early morning hours?

Golden Eagle, there are a lot more guys who are good enough to make an NFL roster than there are roster spots. And the tendency is going to be to go with younger guys who might surprise you and become a star. The fact that Dupree made that comeback at all is remarkable.

I dunno, I'd think there'd be something to be said for watching "Slings and Arrows" without bleeps. Stupid Ovation.

"Shakespeare play you are least likely to see ever: tie between Coriolanus and Timon of Athens. before I wrote that answer I forgot those plays existed."

Her competition is who, Joy Behar? Dr. Phil? Yeah, I can see why she's successful by just being sorta blandly nice.
