I just saw Waiting for Guffman. It was funny, and just what I needed after a crappy afternoon.
BEST IN SHOW is a lot of fun too, plus cute dogs. I haven't seen the third one yet (A MIGHTY WIND) even though I own it.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Best in Show is best in show for Guest films, as far as I'm concerned. Love it with a great big warmth. I liked Guffman a LOT, too. Wind? I enjoyed it until the last 5 minutes and then stormed off in a huff. Absolutely hated the final gag and felt like it ruined the whole she-bang.

Beej, was that the sex change?
I keep wondering if that was inspired by/based on the person from Jethro Tull's RL story.

Persactly.
Jethro Tull?

eta: Okay. Still not funny. And, might just be cruelly meanspirited. Maybe meant in some positive way...but it was such a veering, it just seemed cheap.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I haven't seen the third one yet (A MIGHTY WIND) even though I own it.
The best part in it (for me) is when the theatre liason finally snaps. I may have overidentified a wee bit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think that's why I like Waiting for Guffman the best. It's full of musical theater jokes.

Slightly off topic....
Did I just understand my TV correctly? Are they bringing back Kolchak: The Night Stalker with Stuart Townsend in the titular role?????
I don't know which is funnier - that somone thought it would be a good idea to bring it back, or that Stuart Townsend thought taking the role would be a good idea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was gonna say -- I'm sure your enjoyment of the Guest movies is heavily related to which world(s) you know best.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Best Guest movie? Well, of the modern ones, Best In Show. But, for me there's no beating This Is Spın̈al Tap.
