      He pimped the heck out of that little cameo on the Jimmy Circuit.

      He's trying to claw his way back and I hope he makes it. Wayne's World gave me honest joy. He's obviously a very smart man. I have no idea what happened, but I assume it's the old story: you get so big they stop editing you. It must take superhuman modesty to have the world at your feet and still tell yourself every morning "I am just as full of sh-t as everyone else."

        From all accounts he is hard to work with. People don't seem to like him...

          Didn't he make them re record nearly all of his stuff in Shrek because he decided he's going to do his Scottish accent at the 11th hour?

            Saw Four Weddings and a Funeral last night for the first time since it came out. It holds up very well. Also it's the first time I've seen it married. It is a much, much better movie than I remember it as. For a RomCom it's practically PhD quality intelligence in writing and direction, and the acting is great.

            I think I have to elevate this above When Harry Met Sally to the best* RomCom ever made.

            * In the modern age of movies for children (post-1969). In the classic age of movies for adults the greatest RomComs are:

            It Happened One Night
            Singing in the Rain
            Philadelphia Story
            Bringing Up Baby

              I probably have mentioned it before, but "My Best Friend's Wedding" isn't horrible, and I actually kind of enjoyed it. I think Julia Roberts playing a total bit* helped it quite a bit. Is it great? Nah. Would I turn it off? Nah.

              I shall turn in my Man Card for the next day.
              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                  It's my favorite Julia movie. Horseteeth was the closest I had to a boyhood celeb crush.

                      What a horrible cheesy, obvious-heart-string POS movie. The only upside of seeing that movie, is that it showed exactly what I hate in romantic movies so I can avoid similar ones in the future.

                        We need to start Cafe Movie Club. Pick 2 movies a month, we all get 2 weeks to watch them then 2 weeks to talk about them. We all nominate and vote for movies as individuals, we can do fun themes. If we've seen them before we try to watch them again and compare how they have changed for us.

                        We have a group like this at my work and it is great. It's the only reason I would ever have seen Accepted, and I loved it.

                        I'll run it if people are interested.

                          I've heard the phrase: re-read/watch something. The medium hasn't changed, but you have.

                          I can't argue with that. I'd be in, as much as I could be.

                          Edit: I saw the Gibson/Hawn movie "Bird On A Wire" in theaters, I was thoroughly entertained. Re-watched it years later, and asked myself "What in the actual f is wrong with you?"

                              I love Four Weddings and a Funeral. Hugh Grants best movie, although he’s also good in About a Boy and Notting Hill. And Andie M is just fabulous
