War Room Lounge v52: Oh, We Beefin' Now

[Fawlty]

it's an Ocean Spray fruit drink which has been consumed and filled with water. Given the sugar content in such fruit drinks, he likely thinks it's healthy when it's not, meaning despite whatever talks he has with his general practitioner he still doesn't understand his blood sugar levels or how to lose weight despite trying. He'll be dead in his late 40s.

Well, as long as he doesn't get banned from Sherdog we can call him a success.

Top 5 comedies, GO!

1) airplane
2) kingpin
3) naked gun
4) a fish called Wanda
5) back to school

 

[Fawlty]

1. A Fish Called Wanda
2. Lock Stock
3. Big Lebowski
4. Life of Brian
5. Groundhog Day
6. Ferris Bueller
7. Ratatouille
8. Ghostbusters
9. Dr. Strangelove
10. Ace Ventura

I probably wouldn't ever make the same list twice (I totally forgot about Beetlejuice which is around #5-6 for me), but A Fish Called Wanda is always my #1. It is perfection, and Otto is one of the greatest characters in the history of the arts.

Well, as long as he doesn't get banned from Sherdog we can call him a success.

No love for Napoleon Dynamite?

If it's related to the hilarious post I made and your reply, that post was officially not kosher. Don't make naughty jokes about banned people unless their name is HomerThompson, in which case you're allowed to say anything you want.

You've got to be kidding me with this shit

Nostalgia forces me to mention the Airplanes, The Jerks, and the Blazing Saddles of the world....

1. A Fish Called Wanda

A Fish Called Wanda is always my #1. It is perfection, and Otto is one of the greatest characters in the history of the arts.

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

Hated that movie as well lol

Never understood the Jeff Bridges love

It really was one of the greatest comedies of the 90's. I think a lot of people hate it now because it got so overquoted by nerds who lack restraint when they fall in love with something. Fell into that Princess Bride and Office Space syndrome. Is there a more recent comparison? I can't even recall the last time a comedy movie infected the zeitgeist to this extent. TV shows like SV and Sunny took that title.

Comedies should be funny

I mean there's not a lot of slapstick or "laugh here" stuff, though the marmot/rug pissing scene is hilarious, as are Donny's ashes and Larry's homework, when you see what happens, Larry, when you fuck a stranger in the ass! There's so much funny in there imo. Like everything John Goodman's character says, especially the way he berates Donny and is having perpetual PTSD, controlled by his rage while also seeing himself as some kind of paragon. The sex offender stuff with John Turturro was excellent too. And who doesn't love the nihilists?

And though I say that, it took me a couple of viewings before I really started loving it. Pulp Fiction was the same for me.

 

[Sycho Sid]

I cannot believe I left off Blazing Saddles and Lebowski. Probably because I think of those as two of my favorite films period.
