Smalls, upholder of truth and justice, setting the record straight.
Although I disagree with your take on the looking at the audience. i thought they were all pretty priceless, ESPECIALLY that line and then the look from Matt/Ben.
peace dude
: : 1. Will Ferrell is not funny. His character was stupid.
: Right on the first part, not on the second. They made as much of a silk purse out of him as possible.
: : 2. Scooby Doo, Scream references/scenes? Totally unfunny.
: Scooby Doo is oft-referenced, yeah, but I think he had a good twist on it. Joking on Scream is done often too, but the way he did it (especially using Shannen) worked.
: : 3. The Jewel Theives and Orangutan subplot was super lame.
: The Jewel Theives thing was a serviceable way to pull the plot along... and, I'm sorry, but I loves me some monkies.
: : 4. Chris Rock was completely unfunny and his lines were plain bad. The audience sensed this as well, everyone was silent.
: You're just wrong here. Angry black man going over the top = funny.
: : 5. Jon Stewart is never funny; how many times can CLIT be funny? Enough already. He's the master of the CLIT. Yes, he works the CLIT. Snooze-fest.
: Clit is still underused enough in the language to be pretty much across the board funny. The taboo against talking about women's sexual needs is quite funny. And Stewart's a laugh factory, you weirdo.
: : 6. Characters looking at the audience not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR TIMES!
: Might give ya that.
: : 7. The movie was edited together as badly as Superman IV, with chunks missing. You could tell easily. Yet the film was way too long.
: It did feel like parts were missing, at times... but it was too short, if anything.
: And dude... if the flick didn't start your engines, that's your deal... but how's that make Kevin a sellout? I don't get it.
: Mike
