Pretty good. Kinda bland, but I guess that fits.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I wanted to see the movie when it first came out. Big JCR fan. And big Hahn fan as well. I don't always hate Ferrell but I don't think he's as good across the board as so many others do. A lot of the time he works against himself and his style just doesn't resonate with me, in general.tragabigzanda wrote:Her turn is magnificent, one of my favorite roles she's ever done. But obviously Ferrell gets way more screen time.durdencommatyler wrote:Oh, I've never seen that movie.tragabigzanda wrote:How did you enjoy Stepbrothers, given your hatred of Ferrell but love for Hahn?durdencommatyler wrote:You're goddamn right she does.tragabigzanda wrote:Bad Moms.

Lotta good laughs on that list, friend.tragabigzanda wrote:I'm judging these more on their re-watchability. Again, Young Frankenstein is brilliant, but I don't laugh as much now as I did some years ago. Some of my all-time favorites in no particular order:
Groundhog Day
Stepbrothers
Dr. Strangelove
Best In Show
Office Space
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Zoolander
The Big Lebowski
The Ladykillers
Beverly Hills Cop
Anchorman
Dragnet
