tbh i thought he had passed. glad he’s still around, maybe he can do a late career resurgence like Bruce Dern

I recall BHC2 being the more action-y (and violent) film. Probably because they were working with a bigger budget. The original was just a fun, simple, fish out of water story that was such a hit that it gave the director the clout and leverage he needed to make “Spies Like Us”

Call me when they figure out Norm McDonald doing his Burt Reynolds impersonation.  I’ll buy that one.

I had it in my head that the original Beverly Hills Cop was the movie me and my friends went wild over and watched again and again as (very, very young) kids, but - after watching it a few weeks back - realised it was the sequel we all had recorded on VHS and watched every other weekend.

It’s not Lethal Weapon or Die Hard, but it has a few shoot-outs and Murphy was at the top of his game in the first two. I liked them better than both 48 Hours, which are also solid movies.

“We’ve yet to see its best” and saying that Beverly Hills Cop isn’t one of the best action-comedies of all-time is... certainly an opinion. It’s one of the best action-comedies ever made, plain and simple. 

That’s a great Groucho Marx line if I’ve ever heard one.

I always took in vino veritas to be more about truth as a philosophical concept, not literal honesty.

I collaborate with myself all the time. And despite what my mother told me, I haven’t went blind.  

‘(they got “Psycho Killer,” guys)‘

Me love that they turned Clue into stage production. It was friend’s daughter’s school play few years ago, and me was tempted to drive four states away just to see it!

Crazy that Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was apparently on in the mid-afternoon, like just another afternoon soap.

Now that’s committing to a bit.

Up in heaven, he just made Jessica Walters squeal again.

Having worked at a few places equivalent to CC I could tell you that yes, people back up their work, I mean Comedy Central will have digibetas or HD Cam tapes of every one of their shows kept in a vault somewhere... But it’s pretty likely the public is never going to be able to see it now.

Did he say it in Latin? “In vino veritas”? If so then yeah, he may have coined the sentiment, if not the phrase. His past misdeeds will never be undone.

Current day? Sure. Back in the day? Eric was on the road to superstardom.

I think I still have a hard drive with old torrented Daily Show episodes somewhere... which I found in the woods and totally didn’t download myself, of course.

This sealioning crap is just boring, don’t act like a coward, just admit you don’t think hate crimes and hate speech aren’t a big deal. Not sure how acting like a complete moron helps your cause.

Maybe it’s because he’s literally a Deus Ex Machina, but he seems to be the only acceptable - even universally-praised - “magical Negro”, from before that was even a thing. And it’s still such an underappreciated gem of a movie (Cobb’s performance is the button on it.)
