My top 20 also includes Pulp Fiction,A Clockwork Orange,Monty Python & The Holy Grail,The Good, The Bad & The Ugly,The Godfather and Die Hard. Just because I have a favorite movie which isn't considered a classic, doesn't mean I have poor taste especially seeing the above films. Snatch is a movie that entertains me whenever I need to be enertained and I find the acting,humor and characters to be all top notch. And as for Carell vs Myers, Carrells dramatic role in Little Miss Sunshine is far and above... | | Read Entire Entry |

I shouldn't have said it's not something I would never want to see, but I do think it would be something they'd have to put a lot of thought in to make it work. They couldn't just rehash the first two. It would have to be John Rambo style or something ---- Hell... Now that I've said that, with Rambo and Kingdom of the Lost Skull --- At least they'd have some good material to work off on since the movies were always no self-aware. Damn, I almost now would love to see it just to see Wayne in a recreation of the opening of one of those flicks. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: BubbaStrangelove at July 16, 2008, 6:05 am | | Topic: Why Hollywood is Rooting for Mike Myers’ New Movie to Fail Forum: JoBlo | | Honestly I would rather him not do Wayne, just because of his age. It could work, though, but there's be a lot of explaining to do in terms of being older, and a lot of the jokes from the character is him living at home and essentially being something of a loser who finds success through this little public access show. You're right though - it would be great to see him and Carvey together. I always preferred Waynes World over Ausin Powers. Plus Carvey needs the work, but don't forget about the babe Tia Carrera!! | | Static Link |

A lot of the imagery they used was poking at foreign art house films --- so yeah, it isn't supposed to make sense, but the humor is that it's just all pushed to such ludicrous extremes. Such as Germans will latch on to obscure American pop figures (The Hasselhoff...) but in Sprockets world, they love the guy who played Eddie Muster. Then they also mixed in the fact that a lot of what Dieter did was very juvenile and quite silly, but because of his persona everything was treated deep and dark --- Like when they do German's Funniest Home Videos, except it's totally morbid, but in the end the video with the guy getting hit in the crotch wins.
