Good album, though.

I don't have a Blu-Ray player and I wouldn't spend $30 on Clerks if I did, but that's more because I don't see the point in buying movies anymore, with Netflix and now Netflix OnDemand so easy and cheap.

I don't have Blu-Ray or Netflix. Redbox FTW!

And I don't really like Dom Delouise, who was in all three. "They're doing the work of the Lord. In a Ferrari, they can just do it faster."

*My parents once bought a piece of property from a former employee of said whorehouse.

Best Little Whorehouse can make my list. I don't remember the other two, though I'm certain I've seen them.

Oh, so now I'm supposed to actually look at your list before I comment about it?

If you only friended me I could set you up with Redbox codes. I never pay for movies anymore.

John Slade: Sam, hold it man, you told me you served in Nam!
One Eyed Sam: I did, Saigon.
Jack Spade: Well, how'd you lose your eye?
One Eyed Sam: Fu**in' 'round the office. We were shooting paper clips at each other, and one of the damn fools hit me in the eye!

(I can't find the follow-up quote for when Slade and One Eyed Sam are comparing medals. But I know One Eyed Sam says something like, "This medal here is for typing..." And Spade cuts him off and says, "I got that one too! Right here! Right here!"

And finally, the scene when they're in the big shoot-out near the end and Spade gets a splinter and screams like his intestines are falling out when he removes it, gets me every time.

Yes, those and....

the pic of Jack's son with the gold chains on the mantle.

and....Jack's mother showing up throughout the flick to kick butt and one scene the mother's stunt man was purposely obvious (bushy wig and mustache)...I think the Wayans brothers invited that schtick.

and.....Jan Brady as the wife of Clarence Williams III in the "Revolutionary Headquarters". The movie has everything. It's number one on my list (followed by The Jerk) probably for the fake body part scene alone.

But I agree that Elf is not worthy of more than one watching (if it even merits one).

I watched Elf for the 5th or 6th time Sunday. Still good, albeit not top 25 good.......top 25 Christmas comedies of the last decade.

But it isn't a comedy, and if you put it on, becasue it has funny parts, then Diner, the best movie overall of all time, is also a comedy, so it will be Best comedy.

I saw an obscure but pretty funny 60s movie call The Party, with Peter Sellers. pretty funny, but maybe a little dated. But if you see it on cable worth a watch (of course Seller's indian accent it a bit incorrect for today).

The Party is hilarious. And being there is a comedy because it is a satire, in the most classic sense of the word. However, because we live with philistines, who would not even understand, let alone appreciate, most of the humor in Being There, I left it off the list.

And Diner is also a wonderful movie, again, one of the best ever made, but it is not a comedy. I would label it a period piece. Which reminds me, I haven't had fries with gravy for years.

Remember that study that reportedly showed that teens who took an abstinence pledge were sexually active at the same rate as teens generally? Well, it turns out it didn't.

He straw manned it. He states what the articles initially reported:

"Religious Teens Differ Little in Sexual Behavior Whether or Not They Take a Pledge."

In other words, pledges are bogus.

In his next article he should debunk the statistical finding that evangelicals are just as randy in the bedroom as everyone else.

Maybe you're reading better newspapers than I, but when this hit the wires two weeks ago, the ones I was reading definitely missed the point that the control group was equally religious and the study was looking at two groups, both of which were less sexually active than the average teen. I got the false impression that the study showed that pledging teens had sex at the same rate as all non-pledging teens. That's a much more salacious story, and that's the impression I got from the headlines I saw.
