Agreed with the Hudson love. I bought the hype the first time I saw it on VHS and claimed to hate it, but subesquent viewings on cable made me realize how wrong I was. It's almost like a live-action Looney Tunes cartoon, and a lot of the lines are eminently quotable. Butterfinger's "You want me to rape 'em?" never…

I think I read at the time that it was a troubled production and the version released to theaters was much different than the one scripted. I agree with your criticisms, although the supporting cast (Sizemore, Farina, Mahoney, Pastorelli, Braugher) made it much more watchable than it should have been.

Sarah Palin had Rueben Blades' dialogue written on her hands? Explains that debate performance, I suppose.

"Homer, I'll tell you what I told Redford. It's not gonna happen."

So long as he's not around when we're going out for ice cream.

So, it's like a Wes Anderson movie then.
(actually, I've liked most of his output, but this comment just needed to be made here)

So long as she doesn't die of the Ver-tee-go.

I'm looking forward to blocking invitations to see the movie as well.

The Go-Gurt is also cursed.

I'm not sure about glasses, but when I do that with my contacts they always end up dry as hell.

But… but, no one leaves their glasses dangling from one ear like Craig.

Also great as Jack Kervorkian - and I'm interested to see his take on Phil Spector. But yeah, since those are both HBO movies that's a completely accurate observation.

Sounds electric.

Agreed - Airplane 2 gets an undeservedly bad rap and while it's not on the level of part 1 it is still very funny.

"Oh, my God!" from the audience re: the baby was my pick for genius moment of the show.

I enjoyed how you put "straight" and Tyler Perry in the same sentence.

Agreed, and maybe I'm alone here but I thought MI:3 "felt" most in tune with the series and was the best of the theatrical movies thus far.

I seem to recall when they tried giving him a comic-book franchise that didn't turn out exactly how they'd hoped.

And the Folgers Crystals could actually emote.

"(Japanese sounding gibberish). Monsta!"
