Always Anti-fascist!

Probably, Hec, I've not seen it, though. And I forgot to give big props to Woody, who is like the Little Richard of this particular affection.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We went to this [link] today. Very cool exhibit--lots of film clips and posters and costumes and all very well curated. For example, Leone originally saw Eastwood in episode 91 of "Rawhide" and was impressed with him and decided to go after him for his own Western. They have a long clip from that episode, so you can see exactly what Leone saw. Lots of fun and I am now adding Once Upon a Time in the West to my Netflix queue.

Oooh! I keep driving through the park to get back and forth to Burbank, and I see the banners for that up at the museum. I really want to see that exhibit while it's here.

Oh cool!

Bill Murray's next movie is also Jim Jarmusch's next film: [link]

Hee.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What? You bastard.

I watched Cartman's rendition of the joke, and my face hurt from laughing. I can't imagine a whole movie's worth of that. It feels like it might lose the shock value and get repetitive after a while. Plus, the punchline isn't funny.

I still can't wait to see it, though.

Hey. New board.

Believe me, the lack of funny punchline is discussed. And every single delivery is quite different.

Saget's version was quite possibly the best-delivered. I really loved Sarah Silverman's take on it, too. Funny, funny stuff.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I just saw Marathon Man. Damn! That's a great little thriller there. Never a dull moment, and it has the balls not to explain what the fuck is going on for over half the movie.

One of my college buddies used to drop "Is it safe?" at the funniest times. I thought a bit about your Blood Simple question up-thread and decided that I need to re-watch it.

I am now adding Once Upon a Time in the West to my Netflix queue.

Awesome. Don't expect it to make logical sense and you'll be fine. Each scene is as iconic as Westerns come.

Thanks. Let me know if you come up with an answer.

Art Crawl!!!

I went to see Sky High yesterday. It was fun. Also the soundtrack was made-up of covers of '80s songs which was also fun. And there was a character of last name, "Grayson" of whom I will say no more.

Also, both Dave Foley AND Bruce Campbell.
