Bar! What’s the name of the man?

Peak Carrey has got to be his appearance at the AFI Awards honoring Steven Spielberg. This is just after The Mask, Ace Ventura and Dumb & Dumber turned him from a nobody to the biggest star in Hollywood in one year, netting him the largest payday ever for his upcoming The Cable Guy. And his victory lap involved…

There’s literally never been a major Hollywood actor who didn’t do a litany of goofy crap.

Nah, this sketch was pretty dumb. The sad part was that the writers/performers assumed Meet the Parents was zeitgeisty enough for references to make sense. And if you are going to send up a movie that came out almost 20 years ago, at least you could have done a mini-Royal Tennenbaums reunion with Luke Wilson, who’s…

I think that’s the scene which is preceded by the moat scene above. I remember watching it as a kid on tv and laughing and laughing and laughing and laughing - I don’t remember anything else where the laughter started and then just didn’t let up for about twenty minutes. The moat scene still makes me laugh today. And…

Any of the films without Peter Sellers should be dropped because they’re just terrible.

Some people have a really hard time with ambiguity or texts that are obtuse and invite thought and discussion. I suspect it is because these types of texts are threatening to them.

Haha fair. Not a big fan of the genre myself, but my pick for this exercise would be Counting Out Time - Carpet Crawlers - Chamber of 32 Doors from Genesis.

Some choices

of Montreal, Skeletal Lamping: An Eluardian Instance/Gallery Piece/Women’s Studies Victim

of Montreal, Hissing Fauna Are You the Destroyer?: A Sentence of Sorts in Kongsvinger/The Past is a Grotesque Animal/Bunny Ain’t No Kind of Rider/Faberge Falls for Shuggie (choose 1-3 or 2-4)

Shabazz Palaces, Black Up:…

Great! So in the process of downplaying and making light of rape, the film also has to sully the good name of Anakin Skywalker.

I have a sneaking suspicion a lawyer just trademarked that phrase.

So you’re saying we can start up Donkey Lips Unlimited for real?

...Followers of obsolete unthinkable trades doodling in Etruscan, addicts of drugs not yet synthesised, investigators of infractions denounced by bland paranoid chess players, officials of unconstituted police states, brokers of exquisite dreams and nostalgias tested on the sensitized cells of junk sickness and…

Red Skelton was a lot cooler when I was a kid and thought his name was Red Skeleton.
