I actually got up and left when Jay and Silent Bob came on screen. It was like no one making Scream 3 had seen the first two movies, which is entirely possible since Kevin Williamson wasn't involved.

Southern Comfort is awesome. It's no Deliverance (which is one of my all time favorites), but it's a hell of an action flick.

Always though of it as a sort of homage to Richard Stark's Parker novels, without really being an adaptation, and changing the occupation slightly from master thief to master getaway driver. After seeing how influenced he was by Point Blank (adaptation of Stark's The Hunter), it seems even more plausible. And it's

Hey, uh….got any gum? HA HA!

Mavis Beacon was about as fun as our computer games got.

The Bob Dole Real World sketch is hilarious. I love when the two guys (Mark McKinney and someone else) are having a discussion about their first gay experience on the bottom bunk, and they pan up to the top bunk and Norm/Dole has his eyes wide open and is shivering with fright.

I'm not sure either of us can say whether the majority of people would want to see a medieval stoner comedy or not. But they didn't see this one. I think it would have done better if it had good reviews, but I'm not sure it was ever going to be a huge hit. To me it seems a bit like Walk Hard in that regard; it's a

McBride will probably be okay. He's got a couple movies in the can and the final season of EB&D coming up. He probably won't get any high concept movies with $50 million budgets (not to mention the marketing budget…felt like there was an ad during every commercial break during March Madness) with him in the starring

From all the interviews I've read, it seems like McBride and Green knew the audience was limited (he's said in a lot of the promotions that it's "not for everybody") and that this movie probably never should have been made. Somewhere else I recall him saying that he had no problem with making movies that would mostly

Not sure why I said, "unfortunately" cause I like his comedies, but unfortunately for people who like his early movies and hate his recent stuff, I guess.

He really hasn't though. I can see how it looks that way, but if you look at the projects he's been setting up, only a few of them are comedies. Unfortunately, it's much easier for him to get a comedy made these days because a) he's a collaborator with McBride who is hot right now and b) that's the only place where

Wasn't he in The Social Network? one of the college roommates?

I think the Lisa Kudrow thing is pretty well known, Maron just kinda wanted to hear him say it, which was funny.

Agree. Simmons never thinks his ideas through all that deeply, and Klosterman spends the whole hour trying to deconstruct everything Simmons is saying, which, frankly, isn't that hard and is a bit of a waste of time. CK gets too bogged down and sidetracked in Simmons' phrasing or semantics…Simmons frankly isn't that

I wish it was actually a "NO FEAR" t shirt. And it'd be cool if Jake was wearing a Lifeforms t-shirt. What's better than a lizard wearing sunglasses and bungee jumping? Answer: nothing. Michelle, you get the Big Johnson t-shirt.

OY!, I get your point except that it WAS funny. That's where you lose me.

It's one thing to say gay panic jokes are lazy and overdone at this point, but to act like they aren't ever funny when done well is simply wrong. Show me the man who says he didn't laugh at the "those aren't pillows" scene in Planes Trains and Automobiles, and I will show you a liar.

GW is a pretty amazing debut, considering it was made for about the same amount of money as Clerks. Narratively it's pretty weak, but visually it's pretty stunning, especially for a microbudget film. Green said on the commentary it was always intended to be more a sort of collection of scenes for practical

Why are people so upset about Green doing something different? To call him Dennis Dugan is to ignore everything he brought to Pineapple Express. I've seen that movie a half a dozen times and each time see more and more jokes in the background, in someone's costume, in the set design…the guy brought way more of his

I'd also like to add that the Tom Arnold scene in Austin Powers is maybe the best scene in the movie. It's so childish and dumb but completely hilarious and Arnold kills it. By far the best cameo in any of those Austin Powers movies.
