But . . . but . . . but, then I have to put up with the unfunny political shit. I hate to reward them with my few bucks.

The first five minutes you're going to think it's the most retarded piece of shit you've ever seen. But then... it becomes transcendent.

Perfect description of Napoleon Dynamite.

"The human torch was denied a bank loan."

Funny flick. Wears thin after two or three viewings, although some of Ferrell's lines continue to amuse. "Brian, I'm going to be quite honest. That smells like pure gasoline."

You know, Ace, I've always thought of you as a miniature Buddha covered in hair.

By the way, "Ace" in German means "a whale's vagina."

"It smells like Bigfoot's dick!"

That's a good one.

"You're a smelly pirate hooker."

(crying) "I can't believe that poop that came out of your mouth.... poop-mouth... you're a poop-mouth."

First time I saw it was on an airplane. Far funnier than I expected--not that my expectations were high.

My impression after watching it was that they had a lot more fun making the movie than I did watching it. It was amusing, and had some funny moments, but I don't think this is going down as one of the classics of comedy.

I had pretty much the same reaction to the film. I only watched it because I'm stuck in a hotel room. Now I've seen it three times.

"The first five minutes you're going to think it's the most retarded piece of shit you've ever seen...."

Make that the first 91 minutes and I'm with you, Ace. I'd rather sit in a barerel of snot than watch anything with Will Farrell in it.

"Apparently Hollywood has decided that it can't make a comedy unless it contains three of four from this list: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan, Will Ferrel, and at least one of the Wilson brothers."

GQ has you beat, Ace:

It's nice to have low expectations and be pleasantly surprised, isn't it?

If you watch no other part of the movie, watch the network news team gang fight scene -- absolutely hilarious! (But, in a retarded sort of way.)

I thought Will Ferrel stopped being funny awhile ago. But I never saw this one. Did hear there was some dumb political stuff in it though. Maybe I'll give it a shot on cable

Ace, you know I don't speak Spanish. Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island?

FYI, I'm wearing Sex Panther at work *right now*. . . I'm a freakin' fe-magnet.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

P.S. I learned from Anchorman that menstruation attracts bears.

Man, that was a great effin' flick. . .

I'm with Idgit.

I've watched the fight scene maybe 50 times. It gets better and better with each viewing. And the aftermath scene in the office cracks me up each time.

"I killed a guy . . . with a trident"

The rest of the movie I could take or leave, although there are some really funny lines sprinkled throughout. Like all of Ferrell's stuff, it's hit or miss -- some of it works, some doesn't.

The fight scene is worth the price of admission, though.

I love this movie, the fight scene is definetely my favorite. And Ferell talking to his dog, priceless. Low expectations always worked for me. :)

Haven't seen it yet, but last night I accidentally caught Reno 911 on the Comedy channel for the first time. It was Tivo-Season-Pass-worthy.

The Jack Black scene is the best. "That's How I Roll!"

Ace,

My niece loved this movie, she of the "Napoleon Dynamite is the funniest movie ever made society."

I thought the funniest thing in the movie was when he was doing biceps curls in his office.

I dunno'.

I laughed out loud at that.

Mhy niece crakcs up at, "Scotch, Scotch, Scotch..."

I dunno'.

We're like that.

Wow, you're slow... let me guess, you were too busy working on that 'Gone With The Wind' movie review. Let me recommend some other films to catch up on:

Tora Tora Tora
Raging Bull
Airplane
Car Wash
Blues Brothers
Platoon
Firefox

These aren't playing in theaters, but I'm sure you can find them on DVD. Oh wait... you do know what DVDs are, right ACE?

"I'm gonna punch you in the ovaries. Yup, right in the babby maker."

Classic. Be sure to watch the extras, too. Some of it's kind of lame, but there are some golden moments.

"Vaughan Liebowitz"?

Wasn't it *Fawn* Liebowitz?

How perfect was Tim Robbins as the turtleneck-wearing, pipe-smoking, pseudo-intellectual from PBS?

"I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again!"

"DOROTHY MANTOOTH IS A SAINT!!!"

"It smells like a diaper full of Indian food."

There were too many jokes that you had to work to get.
The fight seen was great, but they were trying to do to much. Look at Wake Up Ron Burgundy. They did this whole terrorist story that couldn't fit with the original movie.
It was like they were doing different skits with the same characters.

"doesn't make the Vaughan Liebowitz scene any less funny. (And vicious.)"

I always thought it was Fawn Liebowitz.

Ooops. Sorry westy310. (note to self: read comments before adding comment)

Ferrell's no Ted Baxter.

The scenes that had me laughing hardest were the Sex Panther cologne scene and the dog/bear conversation. I have no excuses.

Sex Panther: Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.

Public television news, no commercials, NO MERCY!

Duh, but make sure you watch the unrated version. I've seen both, and it's significantly funnier. It's the difference between:

Champ: "I crapped a squirrel! A real live squirrel."

Brick: "I ate your chocolate squirrel."

and nothing. You shouldn't be allowed to cut out stuff like that.

Yes, it was Fawn Liebowitz. She was in National Lampoon's High School yearbook as Dacron High's token beatnick. Very sad fate.

Honestly, Ace. Vaughn? It's enough me to doubt you. For a second or two.

I will have to punch it in on HBO On Demand tomorrow morning.

Brick . . . where did you get that hand grenade?

As far as the *last line of the movie ruining the whole thing*, what about Blade? "Some asshole's always trying to iceskate uphill." ??? I have at least one friend whose enjoyment of that movie was ruined by that one line.

Cue: "Blade? WTF!?! That piece of crap? . . . etc.
