BACK OFF!
I'll make you teensy![DOUBLEPOST=1418757274,1418756938][/DOUBLEPOST]I even have a gif for this one.
Deedle-eedle-deet.
Harvey Birdman is the best thing to come out of late-night CN since Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast. There I said it.
Also, I watched Knights of Badassdom the other day. It's great as long as you're just looking for campy nonsense and Peter Dinklage having way more fun in a role than he's been allowed to in a long time.

Thanks! I didn't know. I'll definitely watch it this weekend.

Not a good movie, but certainly a very fun one.

Sealab 2021 figures in there somewhere too. I can't believe they let Archer slip through their fingers, even after the fiasco that was Frisky Dingo/Xtacles.[DOUBLEPOST=1418915376,1418915349][/DOUBLEPOST]
This could be used as evidence that you need to be committed.
Sealab too, though it's almost forgotten these days... they almost never play it anymore.
And Tim and Eric CAN do good work. I loved Tom Goes to the Mayor. But Tim and Eric isn't coherent enough to exist as a TV show... though I'm told the live shows they've done are excellent.

Anti-humor in general seems to be a vehicle for people to feel snobbish. "Oh you just don't get it". Oh, I get how anti-humor works. I also get how entertainment works. I'm not paying a comedian to make bad jokes as some kind of gag on me or (worse) a statement on modern comedy. I'm paying you to make me laugh.
I laugh a lot at Tim and Eric
also to slide back on topic a little - I also loved the Billion Dollar Movie

I used to get so angry when Tom Goes to the Mayor came on, because it sucked so bad and was taking up time that could have been devoted to any number of better [AS] programs. Little did I know how much worse it could get.. and then T&EASGJ came out. Whoever keeps giving those two human buboes production greenlights (or even cameos) should be tried at the Hague.
you seem really mad about goofy comedy

It's
Not to mention it always aired right during that time when I was trying to find something on TV to watch in bed, back when I watched live TV.

Its really a love or hate kind of show, you'll spend hours defending or attacking until you realize impossible to convince the other side otherwise. I like it, others don't, whatevs.
Also I was gonna argue Squidbillies over Aqua Teen but...no it is better.

TOO MANY COOKS
It's really fucking great
Leviathan 2012
★★★★½
Is this a surrealist nightmare or dream? It's hard to answer. It's filled with incredibly striking imagery. There are several shots and sequences of beauty that seem truly unique and seem impossible to capture any way other than the way this was shot.
And that way was just dropping several small waterproof cameras onto a fishing boat in the north Atlantic ocean. This didn't produce the most linear documentary, by any stretch, but it still ended up a visual and aural feast. I saw it described elsewhere as "David Lynch, gone fishing", and I would have to agree.
Some of the few human moments that are shown are lingered on for full effect. One worker's naked girl tattoo appears to dance while he spoons out some food. Another watches a news report on a break through bleary eyes. And the opening has the closest thing to actual dialogue, as two fishermen work together, yelling back and forth.
But again. Back to that gorgeous swarm of birds. The cameras gliding and dipping in and out of the water. Just some of many of the unique images and sounds this movie brings. I have to love a film that's so different from anything else I've seen.
Annie 2014
★★★
Quvenzhané Wallis is pretty amazing in the lead role, and she has great chemistry with Jamie Foxx. Will Gluck keeps things moving at a pretty swift pace, so the movie tends to glide past any of the less-desirable pieces.
Part of that gliding takes the movie way past any sort of message regarding the poor and the rich. Annie's foster home looks pretty great and shiny, all things considered. A rat scurrying across the floor resembles a lost pet more than a harbinger of filth. Annie's opening report on FDR and the New Deal is wrapped up in a fun drumbeat that is another glossy example of this.
The songs are all great and catchy. Only Cameron Diaz really stands out: out of place and out of tone with the rest of the movie. And the action and climax seems really forced when this movie doesn't really require a big thrilling climax like that.
Also, the rumors are true, this movie does have the exact same ending as Zoolander.
The A-Team 2010
★★★
The A-Team dares to ask the question: "can you get bored of action?" It gets dangerously close to "yes". But the game performances mostly keep it afloat.
There are huge attacks and huge plans after plans after plans. By the 6th time or so in the climax, it's just a continuous assault. Most of it ends up being fun in the spirit of the original TV show.
By the end of it, I was more into the characters than the spectacle. I'd like to see the TV Show that has about 1/20th of the scope and budget going forward. But Cooper and Neeson's huge surge of popularity makes that mostly impossible. I'll still have this.
Also, Joe Carnahan favorite Patrick Wilson is pretty awesome as the CIA slime Lynch. He has a couple standout goofy scenes elevated by him hitting the right tone.
Zodiac 2007
★★★★★
This movie is very spooky.
I have seen it several times before.
But I don't think any time was this late at night.

But I don't think any time was this late at night.
I finished The Interview. It was pretty funny.
This makes me want to see it more than anything since it was released.
Watched Muppet Christmas Carol this year too and I think I'll make it an annual tradition. Michael Caine kills it; he just does. I never "got" what made this story so great after a hundred TV shows all doing their own version with their own characters in the roles, but somehow this one just makes it work. It's the only one out of all those versions that's moved me. Good songs, too. I can't praise this movie enough. I only wish I'd seen it years earlier.
I've been watching this every Christmas for well over a decade, including last night. I think it's the best adaptation I've seen.
Are you honeydicking me?

"We're Marley and Marley- Oooooooooooh!"
Fuck do I love that movie.
Fuck do I love that movie.
The Lego Movie: Clever and funny, and then got really clever in the finale.
I read somewhere that it uses more of Dickens' writing than any other adaptation.
The interview:
"Baby your'e a fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire work,"
"Baby your'e a fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire work,"
I think you may have read that on TV tropes, as I did
