Tara ,'Storyteller'
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.
Franks and beans! Franks and beans!
Almost peed myself.
The scene in Harold and Kumar where Kumar's dad says, "Daddy's not coming on anything!" It wasn't the line that got me, but watching H&K hold in the laugh - barely. And then with Ryan Reynolds wiping the sweat and Doogie humping the seat and just about everything in that movie.
Also, Carol Kane in Scrooged.
It was hard not laughing at her Madame Morrible.
"Sometimes you have to slap them in the face...."
I watched that movie (Harold and Kumar) two nights ago. It made me laugh a lot. In a lot of places.
But as far as laughing so hard I couldn't breathe? Nothing beats the sex song in "Run Ronnie Run," a movie that has lots of low points otherwise, but that song: damn. Double damn. Oh, also, the scene where Mandy Patinkin is doing "Ronnie: The Musical."
I always crack up watching the interpretive dance to “Time After Time” at the end of Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion.
Oh, yeah. I love that movie, though.
Seth Green in The Italian Job parodying Jason Statham's "Handsome Rob" getting over on a girl..."You aren't very bright are you?" "no." "Perfect."
I had to rewind that scene three times, I was so hysterical I couldn't move on.
Of course, it's a take off on Spike mocking Angel from a rooftop in AS1. Loved that one too.
Also, and I canNOT explain this one...the scene where Ed Norton's newbie priest loses control with the incensor and ends up setting his robes on fire in Keeping the Faith kills me every time.
The mirror scene from Duck Soup.
Vitameatavegamin!
While the cumulative effect of the second viewing of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back was to laugh so hard I lost my voice, there wasn't any one scene that did me in.
Not even when you saw who was driving the Mystery Machine?
I know Bringing up Baby always has me in stitches, but I can't recall any particular scene that's amazingly funny except for the disentegrating dinosaur skeleton.
Michael Palin driving the steamroller in A Fish Called Wanda was a definite high point too.
