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.
Damn, I miss Chris Farley.
He and David Spade weren't necessarily the calibre of other classic comedy duos, but the really worked well together.
Edit: Is "caliber" an accepted American spelling? It didn't look right, so I changed it. Maybe I've just been reading ita's spellings too long.
Of course, now "calibre" doesn't look right either.
Oh, yeah, definitely that.
He and David Spade weren't necessarily the caliber of other classic comedy duos, but the really worked well together.
Also Chris Farley and Adam Sandler -- it least in the SNL "Hurlihy Boy" sketches.

I saw Wedding Crashers yesterday, if it wasn't for a meet this guy type of thing I wouldn't have picked the movie. But I liked it and didn't quite laugh my ass off. Owen Wilson continues to impress me, I think a lesser actor wouldn't have handled the emotional change from guy who crashes weddings to get laid, to guy who really fell for this girl. Although I didn't really buy the romance ending the way it did.
Vince Vaughn mostly annoyed me. And if Will Ferrell had been in more of this there is no way I would have liked it.
OMG! Thank you for warning me askye, now my decision to pass on this movie has been completely justified!
I don't know if it's possible that you could dislike Ferrell more than I do -- I can't even look at posters without wincing. But it's a tiny role, and easy to get past.
If I hear any hint that he's going to reprise that peeing-on-himself schtick onstage, I'm going to buy a front row ticket and bring jumper cables. I'll plead Poetic Justice at my trial.
I already posted a variation of this in my LJ, but I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this weekend. While there were a lot of good things about the movie, the musical scenes with the Oompa Lompas kind of ruined it for me, because I kept thinking "It's The Apple , but with really really short people/person".
I blame Jessica for this, of course.
