Isn't that basically every art movie?

It's not any fun when you fall down and hurt your bum.

The Schmenges were based on a show called Polka Time that ran for insane number of years on CKCO in Kitchener/Waterloo.

It's basically a way to say there's a problem with something without actually having to articulate what that problem is, or even definitively state that you have a problem with it yourself. It's kind of a weasel word, really.

It still amazes me that Paramount was so obsessed with repeating Wayne's World's success that they gave Al Franken and Julia Sweeney movies. If that mind-set had been in place in the early '80s we would have gotten Chico Escuela and Candy Slice movies following up The Blues Brothers.

A paying audience for a comedy is complicit—-they're there to have a good time, they want to laugh, so they laugh. It usually takes a breaking of the contract between movie and audience (giving them something different from what they thought they were paying to see, for instance) for a crowd to really turn.

I always get it confused with the one with Wilford Brimley and the lady from the soap opera.

I think a lot of people don't understand that movie characters can get away with things that would be horrifying in real life because they have the benefit of being able to read the script first and know how the story ends.

In the '80s Hanks and Michael Keaton in comedy mode were my guys and I'd go see anything they were in. I still hold out hope they'll team up for something someday, but it'd be just my luck that it'd be a drama, and not the In-Laws remake/rip-off they deserve.

I have friends who went to see that while I went to see Memento. I still rub that in on occasion.

She skipped the entire 1970s? Temple Of Doom was less violent than an average episode of Starsky and Hutch,

Williams is actually one of the worst things in it. When a movie is written for Bill Murray in 1986, you don't get Robin Williams, you get—-I don't know—-Tom Hanks or Michael Keaton or somebody. Even John Candy would have been better casting.

Clinton—-"I thought you were going to ghost-write it!"

Yes it is. For some of us, those are a couple of the reasons why it's so good!

It's an experiment in the sense that they had no idea if the audience was going to go for it.

This guy's picture is in schools.

There have been some pretty good Summer franchise starters that were under 100 minutes.

He's an archetype, so of course he looks like Clint. I think the point of the character is that he looks like every spaghetti western hero you've ever seen mashed together so there's a point of extreme familiarity to ground the rest of the craziness.

Yeah, his last three movies were really full of that snappy pop culture dialogue.

Finally the TRUE story!
