Sail, it's a Tim Robbins movie.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah, I see why I was was not aware of it. It came out while I was transferring back to the States. There's a definite culture (pop or otherwise) gap in my life from 1985-1989, while I was stationed overseas.
The imdb review is not kind to it. What's the general concensus around this place (if there is one?)
edited because my mind thinks faster than my fingers.

I laughed my ass off. But possibly because Tim Robbins never looked so much like an ex of mine, and there was maybe a scene or two in the movie that rang true.
Haven't seen it again, though.

Laugh with or laugh at? Laugh at in the too funny to believe or the too painful to believe and you'd rather laugh than cry?

Cool. I'll look for it the next time I'm in the mood to rent movies.

I love Erik the Viking. Tim Robbins, Mickey Rooney, Eartha Kitt, Terry Jones and John Cleese. Yeah, it's a hoot and a half. And actually quite a neat, kooky little viking fantasy. It actually kind of works.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Yeah, it has a very Monty-Pythonesque vibe to it, and not just because Jones and Cleese are involved. But not as much with the rapid-fire jokes, there are a lot of quiet stretches too.

"It's got to be the hair, Cotton. It's beautiful! Feathered and lethal. You just don't see it nowadays." Pepper Brooks - Dodgeball
It was written by Terry Jones, of course it's Pythonesque.
