Because there's 'gay' and there's 'super-gay'.

American wrestling is essentially heavily choreographed modern dance performed by mostly naked men.

Because his posturing and flexing are far too compensatory for him to be anything but a deeply closeted power bottom.

Peep Show. Mark. It's frightening.

I disagree. I think it's the 'Oh it'san ensemble show so everyone has to have their two minutes thirteen seconds of airtime' thing is what's giving the show some of it's lag. This is The Stirling Archer Show after all and everyone else is just ballast.

If you say so.

No, he's just a huge head with tiny arms and legs. The chair's not a chair or, more specifically, it just performs the function of an eggcup.

"you gotta deal with naked guys if you want to look at naked women"

Wolverine is the gayest of them all. All those muscle shirts and bodybuilder poses? Give me a break. The only one who doesn't take it up the ass in the Marveliverse is MODOK and that's only because he doesn't got an ass.

'For some reason, the exploding car burning off only Archer's clothes made me laugh. "Apparently, I like naked guys. Feel free to use that in one of those comments that pulls quotes sans context and makes them seem like reviews that would be used in advertisements."'

Yup. He's certainly not what gardeners would call a hardy perennial.

What makes this film so ridiculous is that they really think audiences would accept a black man in the White House. After this current one, I mean.

He looks like a perennial crybaby.

It['s funny you should say that. I believe precisely the opposite. This was too jokey, too spoofy, too like a skit. I compared this 'haunted house' episode to the 'Scary Schary' episode from season one - which was essentially a take on 'mad axeman horror flicks'. That episode was funny, referential and fast - like…

You are right. I do think that all great films must have a great story which militates against great literature becoming a great film because all great literature needs to be great is to have a great narrative (which does not necessarily include story).

An awful episode but touched with some moments of genius - like martin Mull's drunk act and the reappearance of Kurt Smith. They must get back at least within winking distance of reality or else the show's just going to seem like a vanity project of the star and his wacky pals.

Perhaps you're right but then again, none of the films you have cited seem to make any of the recent - or even historic - 'Best Film…' lists that critics, academics, newspapers and film buffs have been creating every year since Melies. These may be films of great books - and some of your examples seem to be more…

All the films you have mentioned are niche movies that are only known by specialist audiences, of which I suggest you are a part. They are not sufficiently accessible to be called 'great movies'.

That's a great film but it's a spoof of Metamorphosis not a retelling of it.
