Best trailer ever.  Seriously.  Hell, I'll throw down the gauntlet - find me a better one and I'll eat Werner Herzog's other shoe.

I loved that, especially a barely-audible line of his: "You know what Andy says: in the future everyone will be famous for 15 days."

Yeah, I never quite understood the hate for it.  No, actually I do, it has to do with people's disdain for Martin Short, which I guess I understand but can't go along with (his two seasons with SCTV alone give him the ol' lifetime pass in my book, and he's done all sorts of great work beyond that).  Maybe he doesn't qu…

I always wondered myself about the show's constant use of "candy beans" instead of "jelly beans."  Whether there was some sort of trademark on the name, or if there was some other reason for it.  One of those funny little things that I never got a proper explanation for, and maybe there isn't one…

I'll see you those (most of which I referenced in another thread before I made it down to this one), and raise you one of the highlights of the otherwise erratic Cinemax season, "Das Boobs" (another hybrid parody, combining "Das Boot" with every sniggering teen sex comedy of the time, from "Porky's" on down.…
