Like you, "I am also not a fan of prostitution AND defecation upon humans." But, you know, one or the other might be OK in moderation.
I see you are finding your inner Kevin Allin. That's healthy.

More like my inner Edwin C Newman. And he's dead, so that's probably not healthy.

Hollywood doesn't want us to see this one.

Cabin Boy is the most underrated movie of all time.
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

The Hangover was really fun.  I loved the structure and realistic absurdity.

Since at least part of the sequel is set in Shanghai, will they call it the Shangover?

I've got to revisit that one. I recently had the chance to watch all of Get A Life - holy cow, is it amazing!

I've been meaning to see Cabin Boy for years... I mainly associate it with an interview I read once with Ira from YLT where he described going to see it while on tour and being the only one in the theatre.

Cabin Boy is truly awesome.
Remember how he couldn't stop his leg?

And who could forget Russ Tamblyn's moving portrayal of Chocki!

I watched EASY A last night. This might come as a surprise, but it was good. And Emma Stone was 100% GREAT.

Since I was home alone the evening before Thanksgiving, I figured why not watch The Human Centipede? A couple of points.

1) Despite what you might have heard, it's not ever "uplifting".

2) I have a quibble with a couple of the ploy points.

3) I believe that a brief monologue near the end may have been lifted from an unpublished screenplay by Kurosawa.

The description of Human Centipede having a series of "ploy points" is so on the money I'm wondering if this was even a typo.
