When the rest of the world denounces the American/British Abbott & Costello routine in Iraq, we spit on them as a bunch of U.N. dry-humpers with a hard-on for wussery. We definitely don’t listen to them.
When they denounce actual American/British comedic film partnerships, though, we’re more than happy to lend an ear. [...]

Jackass Number Two arrives in a theater near you in 3 weeks and a day. Something tells me your reaction is one, some, or all of the following:
1-”Grr. I hate that stupid crap.”

Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby features Will Ferrell in a NASCAR comedy. This would probably be the last place you would look for lefty politics being subversively slipped into mainstream culture, but I think if you check out the film, you’ll find a lot more than racing satire.

While discussing Cuba this morning, I made mention of Fredo Corleone and George W. Bush within a few breaths of each other. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but as the day wore on, it occurred to me that these two men have a lot in common. In fact, the [...]

During my second viewing, I was drawn to Carol Reed’s manipulations of the shellshocked Viennese streets and tunnels, (Alida) Valli’s nuanced performance, the film’s patient [...]

Or, An Example of How Patriarchy Hurts Men As Well.
Hey, what’s cooler than pretending you’re Tyler Durden?
