    Go see Tropic Thunder – it should rehabilitate Stiller for ya.

    And oh yer,

    When doing voices for animation, comics cannot wink at the camera – which may explain why Donkey is the best character Murphy has played in years.

    RE: Murray – Any love out there for Rushmore? I love that film for many reasons, his performance is pretty near the top of the list though.

    Love Rushmore – may favorite scenes may those of Murray with his twin sons, Ronny & Donny.

    i could never get into rushmore for some reason, tho i LOVED the trailer and have it memorized word for word, song for song because it appears in front of dumb and dumber on both the VHS and DVD <.< >.>
    the comedic timing is way better in my opinion on the trailer than in the actual movie, LOL!
    Phil: anchorman is soo up there under dumb and dumber for me!! and it's a judd apatow movie – which is really wierd because apatow's stuff never quite 100% jives with me – to his credit tho, will ferrell and steve carrell ad libbed a LOT of their stuff.

    aww, we can't edit our comments any more :/….i also left out that galaxy quest and dodgeball are great pandering/low brow comedies :P! oh and get this, to tie all of this rambling together: when i was in high school, a movie came out called 'heavyweights' where ben stiller plays a psycho camp counselor VERY reminiscent of his dodgeball character. It was hilarious, funny but clearly a 'kids' movie…written by judd apatow. (Which also explains why in anchorman, ben stiller shows up and seth rogan is the camera man.) </early morning rambling> i'm going back to bed!

    Funny – I felt the same way about Pineapple Express as you do about Rushmore.

    Pineapple Express has one of the best trailers I've ever seen. I just didn't care for the movie that much – like two completely different things.

    Haven't seen Pineapple Express yet – looking forward to it – as for Rushmore = I despise the films of Wes Anderson.

  • 8 jettloe // Aug 19, 2008 at 4:47 pm

    Cheers Mitch – looking forward to having vid. comments back up! :)

  • 9 Phil // Aug 19, 2008 at 5:15 pm

    See? This is all very interesting.

  • 10 Tom // Aug 20, 2008 at 3:39 am

    Despise? Ohhh that's very strong, come on Jett I think you need to qualify this statement.

  • 11 jettloe // Aug 20, 2008 at 6:36 am

    That will take a whole show my friend, a whole show, (mind you – maybe Rushmore is good – I don't know as I couldn't watch anything past the first 10 minutes).

    [...] Hulu could get somebody, oh I don’t know, a bit more classy, to pay for this stream, (what, Guru Pitka wasn’t available?); but I know, times are [...]
