“Gene’s trash.”
“Gene’s trash.”
It’s best understood as a fantasy-comedy film which takes place in a world where dead bodies don’t begin to decompose until a week or two after death.
This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on the internets today (tho it’s still early): Someone who was proudly certain for 35 years that they *understood* the plot engine of “Weekend at Bernie’s”.... and then, *today*, they had it explained to them.
They should have had Bernie coming out of the bathroom immediately before the hit man kills him, to explain why his corpse doesn’t reek of piss and shit.
Watching Silverman and McCarthy try to figure out where the dings are coming from is priceless.
Caddyshack II is probably the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Unnecessary and terrible.
That’s right. Kramer’s pick was the one about the woman in a coma.
No, that’s the next Knives out movie, Wake Up Dead Man
Actually, what happened was that the hitman called when he arrived at the dock on a payphone, looking for directions to the beach house, and Bernie answers the phone later, so the answering machine had already picked up and started recording. Bernie thinks the hitman is coming to kill the two guys, so give directions…
Starred for the The Night of the Comet reference.
Has it really been 35 years since I saw in Narragansett movie theater by the Coast Guard House? Oh god...it has.
Hear, hear!
I feel like we, as a society, don’t appreciate Terry Kiser’s physical comedy performance in this movie nearly enough. It’s genuinely pretty damned phenomenal.
Hearing about the novel is the final push I need to watch the show. And maybe I can get my bored 10-year-old on board; he likes mysteries and puzzles.
Name a more unnecessary sequel than Weekend at Bernie’s II.
Is it a good film? No, not at all. Are parts uncomfortably offensive by standards then as well as now? Oh, yes. Did I almost die laughing when Bernie fell off the boat and started clanging. Yes, I believe I did.
Nah. Jesse had it right except for the order of Crusade and Temple.
Holy mother of mercy McGillicuddy, books are back!
Me remember Andy saying he really not wanted to play romantic lead, or for that relationship to become central to what show was about.
