Correct/incorrect
The Onion vet on the Conan staff is the estimable Tim Harrod

Points duly taken
George Camrose, consider "jaw-dropping" officially stricken from my vocabulary. Watching "Missouri Breaks" I wondered how somebody like Randy Quaid or Frederick Forrest felt about Brando's craziness. Were they grateful to be acting alongside a God like Brando or did they bitterly resent his diva…

Further explanation
Far be it from me to suggest that our grades aren't dictated from on high by evil corporate overlords but my grade and review reflect the fact that I probably laughed more and harder at "ATHF" than I did at any movie this year other than "Hot Fuzz" despite all my reservations. It's fucking funny as…

To state the obvious
If you haven't already please read Tasha Robinson's eloquent eulogy for Kurt Vonnegut before wasting your time with my column. That is all.

agreed
Especially since the whole vibe of the album is "Look at me! I'm doing all sorts of crazy shit! You should totally be paying attention to my new and buzz-worthy album!!!!!!!

To answer Pop
It was a phone interview. Which of course means, dude I was so fucking baked.

Reitman's pedigree
I don't like to put too much stock in anything Joe Eszterhas says but in one of his terrible, terrible books he said that Reitman, who produced one of his scripts, was the unfunniest man he'd ever met. Obviously that's hyperbole but look at the films Reitman directed that don't star Bill Murray:…

Fun factz
James Franco (AKA Green Goblin Jr) and Jason Ritter (AKA John's son) are the two stooges at the end of the movie. Hey, and did anyone catch Aaron Eckhart's cameo as a truck stop patron? I didn't.

props due
I willingly concede that "Crazy She-Bitches of Honeybee Island" is a much more awesome alternate title for this than my two choices.

Capoeira!
But Mr. McGinley's character is a master of Capoeira! How awesome was that? I certainly can't defend the rest of the film too strongly-the physical comedy was remedial, the CGI animals might as well have been done by Hanna Barbara and the depiction of the publishing industry was downright laughable. But the…

No
Or at least not until after I finished this Case File. Ain't nothing wrong with drinking after work.

Nope
I am so not kidding.

The Final Z
For the record David Zucker has officially ruined David Zucker movies for me. Oh, that and his far-right-wing political beliefs.

The whole grand gestalt
To answer two of the above comments I'm trying to take a gestalt approach to writing about these movies rather than writing about them purely as films. In some cases I've already written a straight-forward review of the film I'm writing about (like "Lady in The Water" or "Myra Breckinridge) so…

Oh fuck no
It certainly wasn't Kim Morgan. I consider Kim Morgan a good friend and ally. Oh and Jen3 thanks for the props. That was a last-minute addition I seriously thought of erasing.

D'oh!
I will indeed give it another listen. Oh, Devin, you are a sly one! You and your clever-ass extended metaphors.

Cult status?
I've heard murmurings about The Chase's cult status but nothing more. Can anyone confirm or deny the film's following, culty, non-existent, microscopic or otherwise? It certainly does feature Brando at his most masochisty.

Most. Essential. Blog. Post. Ever
Boy, those crazy fluorescent orange walls in the office are really fucking with your brain waves, aren't they, Josh?

sorry for the fuck up
You're right, it was David Proval in the Rockwell. Homeboy does look an awful lot like Armand Assante though. I can't say I thought too highly of this the first time around (and like most teenagers I was unhealthily obsessed with Tarantino) but it's actually much worse than I remember. The final…

Historical irony
I think the king of unintentional irony in Reagan/Bush area popcorn fare is "Rambo III" where Stallone fights alongside the noble Taliban to defeat the evil Russians.
