And neither were as good as Rushmore

Agreed, that was the entire point of the movie

My friend sent his dog to a kennel called…
… The Paw Seasons. And yes, it does exist.

Kudos to you ZMF, I totally forgot about Apocalypto. What an insane film. The jungle traps were good, but the human sacrifice scene was better. Was I just imagining it, or was one execution done from the POV of the victim? To the point where he momentarily sees his own head roll down the steps. If Mel Gibson hadn't…

Flash mobs
Let's face it, they were never acceptable.

American Psycho
The business card scene was good, but it was still much better in the book. If they didn't nail it, the film would have been much the poorer.

A little shout out for the Sopranos. Christopher and Paulie Walnuts getting lost in the woods is one of the funniest things I've seen on TV. That and Fry becoming his own grandfather in Futurama.

The bit in Waterloo station was pretty fantastic, especially when they blew the head off the Guardian journalist. I say this as a Guardian reader.

For me the jazz flute scene in Anchorman was where it transformed the movie from just funny, to out-and-out inspired comedic genius.

Some truly terrible films inflight movies I endured
Stealth (Jamie Foxx = tool)
Georgia Rule
The Big White
Love in the time of cholera … (seriously, did anyone watch this? It immediately negated all the good work Javier Bardem did in No Country for Old Men).
Waitress… (somehow this was actually quite popular).

I doubt it's as forgettable as whatever that other film was called.

Stifler is a long shot, fair enough, but I stand by Borat.

I got given a ticket to this concert
and thought they were very entertaining. Erm, that's all I have to say…

No Paul Dano?
I'd say his dual role in TWBB was as good as Day Lewis, but he never gets a mention.

Nic Cage, yep. I was just about to say the same thing myself.

Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one fills up first.

I really liked it, but found it all got a bit repetitive towards the end. He had to keep hammering home each point he made again and again, which got a little tiring. And it came out in 1997, so strictly speaking doesn't qualify. I haven't read his last one, Collapse, but I guess that could be included (assuming it's…

Not sure what you mean by 2-4, but no, I haven't read any of the others from the 00s. My life as a fake is sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. The only other book of his I've read is Oscar and Lucinda. I'd like to read Illywhacker as well.

Hitchens, yes. If only for being so much more entertaining than Dawkins.

I don't read much science fiction, so don't have a massive frame of reference, but Mieville's Perdido Street Station is pretty extraordinary. It was published in 2000 as well, so would qualify for this list (not sure I'd put it on though).
