Like the tide…

Groucho is rarely the smartest guy in the room, though. He's rarely even the smartest guy in the trio.

In theory, a person could believe that his previous imprisonment prevented further murders, though I personally think that would be a stretch.

I kind of agree, but I'm not sure what the alternative is.

I think it is like McDonalds serving breakfast 24 hours now.

I don't know if I think it's a good movie overall, but I think it has some really amazing scenes; in the same way that a lesser Dylan album will always have a few good tracks, this seems like a DVD where you could just skip around and see some really weird interesting scenes.

"Night After Night" is ok, but the closest thing the movie has to a hidden gem is Dylan covering Shel Silverstein's "A Couple More Years". No idea why that isn't mentioned in the review, unless it's because it's the only thing in the movie that's any good? [Not sure, I've never seen the movie.]

"What are you doing up there, Blinkin?"
"Guessing, Master. … I — *guess* — there's nobody approaching."

Black Dynamite would understand because he would read the introduction to the article before posting a response to it. Please don't put words in Black Dynamite's mouth.

I watched it for Walken, but I thought Anthony Anderson kept it watchable, if only barely.

That's weird; I honestly think the baseball scene is the best climax of maybe any comedy ever. Most comedies tend to fizzle after an hour, or at best coast to an ending, but the baseball scene has so many great jokes, building to "Hey! It's Enrico Pallozzo!" So good.

Also good examples of people who knew how to act, but the more people told them how funny they were because they appeared in some classic comedies, the more they did lame parodies that they were supposed to carry because they were so funny. (Though Wilder at least bounced back from that to some extent.)

Mockumentary isn't a type of parody, it is a style by which you can parody, but you don't have to. "The Office" is not a parody. "Drop Dead Gorgeous" is not a parody. Of the ones Guest directed, *maybe* "A Mighty Wind" could be considered a parody, except that I don't think there's a specific target movie or type

You know, I loved it as a kid, then I watched it when I was a young adult and it felt really bad, so I kind of wrote it off and moved on. But I watched it again a few months ago and… it's still more "not-good" than "good", but nostalgia, the recent gush of Star Wars stuff, and Rick Moranis's terrific performance

Mark Blankfield (he played Blinkin) has a really really funny bit in "Dracula", where Renfield is in the hospital. It's a really obvious joke, but his performance kills me. It's one of those "Well, now that we've locked you up, good luck, you're never getting out of here, boy oh boy you're going to die in here for

I think it leans way too hard on the fourth wall stuff (the "stunt doubles" joke doesn't work for me, but I admit I loved it as a kid).

The third "Scary Movie" isn't much either way, but Charlie Sheen has a scene that is just a straight "Signs" parody which makes me laugh just thinking about it.

I think that, for the most part, I agree with you, but you have to admit that the #1 running joke the character has in "Murder By Death" is Lionel Twain yelling at him because "You're so smart but you keep dropping is the" and stuff like that. That seems pretty clearly directed at the way Hollywood used to portray

Unfinished Business made me long for the glory days of Delivery Man.

Kramer was subletting Paul "Mad About You" Buchman's old apartment from when he was single, so his rent was probably a lot lower than it ought to have been.
