Wow, no time to post all week, did enjoy the reading. So, um, grab a beverage and fluff a pillow, it'll be a bit. Sorry. I'll be brief.
BUUUUUTTT, I done a Bookends in this mix. With my One Pointer, I now have Numero Uno. So, yeah, that one, not so brief, not really. But I'll try.
Any poop,
The Hangover
Stu Price: She's got my grandmother's Holocaust ring!
Alan Garner: I didn't know they gave out rings at the Holocaust.
I did see this only once and I REALLY didn't want to when sitting down with my roommate to watch it. Should I give this another shot? I'd rather not.
The Nice Guys
Holly March: Dad, there's like whores here and stuff.
Holland March: Sweetheart, how many times have I told you? Don't say "and stuff". Just say "dad, there are whores here".
Holly March: Well, there's like a ton.
This was a reluctant cut. Black had me with
Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang (another reluctant, late cut as well) and this was a great follow-up. Happy to watch either at any ole time for a good laugh.
Ed Wood
Edward D. Wood, Jr.: We don't have a permit. Run!
A very worthy addition. Its comedic aspect is a kind of pleasing delirium that I always find a fascinating experience each time I revisit.
Mean Girls (2004) Never saw, never had any intention to, but after reading several folks' appreciation I found me a link for both this and
Clueless. Should be a fun double feature.
Kung Fu Hustle Big Kahuna Award
Sing: I realized then that good guys never win. I want to be bad. I want to be the killer!
Sing's Sidekick: [looks up]
Ice cream!
[leaves]
Sing: Where?

My number one all-out consistent, constant laughter no matter how many times I watch it. Director/Writer/Leading Actor/Clean Up/Bar Mitzfas. . . purposely shifted dialogue for Dubbed and Subtitled, my preference is the Dubbed. This cartoon looney slap-stick, heart-filled wink, and a smirk to the popular Kung Fu flicks of the Seventies as well as a few other old Hollywood flicks. It's as endearing as it is hilarious for me.
Hmm, not too long, yay
Black Dynamite (2009) Heard of this in the Comedy Personal Rec HoF, looks pretty cool.
Clerks
Coroner: My question is, how did she come to have sex with a dead man?
Dante Hicks: She thought it was me.
Coroner: What kind of convenience store do you run here?
I do enjoy me some Kevin Smith, and it was straight out the gate with
Clerks. The genesis of his New Jersey mythos. Great sh#t.
Happy Gilmore
Happy Gilmore: [voice over narration]
During high school, I played junior hockey and still hold two league records: most time spent in the penalty box; and I was the only guy to ever take off his skate and try to stab somebody.
The sh#t I had originally thought funny was getting more and more annoying right around here. The pinnacle Jumping the Shark Tank for me. Do wholeheartedly respect its presence here.
The In-Laws
Sheldon: Is he dead?
Vince Ricardo: If he's alive, he's putting on a hell of an act, ain't he?
A great pairing of Alan Arkin and Peter Falk and one I'm in serious need of a rewatch.
Such a Beautiful Day (2012) is very much unknown to be.
