Author Comments:
Again, movies listed twice are movies that I saw more than once during the year. Expect Ninth Gate, Out Cold and I Was a Teenage Zombie all to make strong showings.
Cloned From:
Oh sure, NOW everybody starts dissing Anchorman! Where were y'all a couple weeks ago, when I could have used you? Back then it got unanimous (unanimous!) fair-to-raving reviews here.
:-)
We were hiding from it. And we were successful, right up until our boyfriend's turn to pick a movie. And lo there was a great suffering.
Actually, Anchorman might be a movie that's better to see in a crowded movie theater, where everyone laughs together. That would explain why early reviews were good, but reviews from people who watched it on DVD were less so.
lol :-)
ouch, not like Anchorman? what was wrong with anchorman, didn't you find it gut-bustingly funny?
I think that was part of the problem: I went in expecting it to be hella funny and then sat there kind of puzzled when it really, really wasn't.
I just didn't find any of the gags worked for me. Things like the jazz flute scene and the bit with Jack Black were painful rather than amusing. It seemed like no one in the movie could take time out from mugging for the camera to actually make a movie. The only high point for me was Tim Robbins as the homicidal PBS host. That ruled. It's got to be based in fact.
lol everybody says that Tim Robbins was great in his cameo, and true he was.
If there were an email notification service for for updates to this list, I would subscribe.
Good to know! I wonder if I can remember enough Cold Fusion to make that happen. It's an interesting and useful project. Jim? Thoughts?
I don't think it's a question of whether you know enough Cold Fusion, it's a question of whether I do. :-) Unless you're planning on scraping the screen and sending the e-mails yourself, that is.
One low-tech solution might be to use Firefox's notification feature (if that's your browser of choice). Bookmark the page, then right-click on the bookmark and pick "properties". You can they use the "Schedule" and "Notify" tabs to regularly check the page for updates.
I wasn't aware of that feature. Thanks.
Finally, someone who's seen Killer Klowns from Outer Space! Now that's comedy gold right there.
And is that not the best line from the movie? It just continues to give and give, long after the credits roll. Also, the new DVD has interviews with the creators (interviews which do not suck and are actually fun to watch) as well as bloopers and deleted scenes. Go forth and rent, babies!
I haven't seen it in years. I think it will definitely be on my "to rent" list when I finally lay my hands on a DVD player.
