Cannonball Run II!

Pretty much any comedy Sigourney Weaver was ever involved with is worth watching.

My brother and I went to Eastern Promises, and you know, a guy gets his throat brutally slit in the first 2 minutes of the movie, and these two old bluehairs immediately stood up and walked out. At first I was like "Jesus, don't these old broads know how Cronenberg do?" but then I realized that all of the ads for it…

No, I think they called it a slice of life character study or something like that.

Jeff Dunham was a shitty hack ventriloquist asshole when I was in junior high 15 fucking years ago, and now that asshole makes 19 million dollars a year in ticket sales ALONE. This is the most depressing shit ever.

Oh don't get me wrong, Benjamin is great at mumbly too (and silly voices, particularly Ben on Dr. Katz being a weirdo), but nothing fills me with more glee than Coach McGuirk yelling. Also, that bizarre shouting match into duet of "Let's Give Them Something To Talk About" with David Cross in the Comedians Of Comedy:…

I'm a "self-deceived troll"? So I'm a troll but I"ve convinced myself I'm not? Isn't a troll someone who is purposely trying to get a rise out of people by "trolling"?

Yeah, as a species, we're basically just a bunch of grubby little shitbags on a playground, always on the lookout for someone else to look down on to get the heat off ourselves.

Eugene's delivery is much funnier for me, but they both have the same kind of off-kilter ideas and ways of formulating material.

UNLESS you bring Oberst into the fight, then it's pretty much a wash.

Al Tilley:

You could easily make the case that Melville and Dassin had some influence on the New Wave though. They're sort of like the Velvets were to a lot of the first CBGB punk/new wave bands, only much more straightforward in their work than the Velvets were in there's (Dassin never made the film equivalent of Sister Ray or…

Lovecraft in Brooklyn: NO FUK U.

Band of Outsiders is fantastic, in this case Bergman had no fucking idea what he was talking about.

Well, without the French New Wave we probably wouldn't have pretty much every great American film made from the late 60s up to the late 70s, most of QT's early good work, Wes Anderson, etc. The French New Wave was influenced by American noirs and westerns, and they in turn influenced the 70s film brats, who…

Lobsters, I'm sincerely surprised and happy to see that you are against the knee-jerk French hating bullshit that stupid people always embrace so willingly. The "French = cowards" trope has to be the most tired, lazy hack comedy move in existence. Seriously, fart jokes have more life in them.

I'm just going to say it now, fuck Baltic Avenue right in the ass!

Yeah, hipster around these parts has come to mean "a person who represents whatever vague, ill-defined thing I am all-caps ranting about at this moment". Hipsters would turn their noses up at young Demetri for actually trying to make people laugh and being paid for it.

Psst…filth flarn…get yourself a DVD burner, CloneDVD and DVDDecrypter and re-up. You didn't hear that from me though.

My only knowledge of Houston comes from that Bill Hicks biography but it always sounded pretty rad, thanks for the confirmation sugartits.
