I always liked that sequence from Last Action Hero, and would love to see it expanded into a feature length. Youtube: /watch?v=SCVc5TaPpe8

All of them hating. This means Hamlet 2 is going to be AWESOME, amirite?

I'm still getting complaints from people who entered the mutant chronicles drawing that haven't heard back from quint.

The fact that no one is posting is a great sign. This looks like a "smash"..you know...the kind that looks vaguely like Ben Roethlisberger on a motorcycle.
Do Americans know of Coogan's UK work? by danowen	Jul 17th, 2008 12:54:01 PM
Have The Day Today, Alan Partridge, Saxondale, Coogan's Run, etc, been shown on US TV? BBC America, perhaps? PBS? Or do American comedy fans import his DVDs from the UK? I've always wondered, as a lot of Coogan's comedy uses stereotypes I'm not sure Americans would "get". Unlike, say, Spaced -- which is easy to understand how it translates.

Americans seem to get Monty Python well enough. Well except for the cartoons where someone makes a parking space and then 55 cars stack up to park in it. I guess there's a shortage of good parking spaces in London?
Coogan's UK Work by ScottinDC	Jul 17th, 2008 01:16:07 PM
His stuff has appeared on BBC America...not sure about PBS (though PBS tends to stick to classics like Are You Being Served and Fawlty Towers).
seriously this movie sucks by jazzgalaxy	Jul 17th, 2008 03:37:35 PM
i'll repeat it over and over until i'm hoarse.
The trailer, concept and talent behind it SUCKS by m_prevette	Jul 17th, 2008 05:30:39 PM
Crap and more crap.
POLICE ACADEMY 5: ASSIGNMENT MIAMI BEACH by palimpsest	Jul 17th, 2008 06:20:02 PM
Not just the only movie I've ever walked out of, but the one I had to go and see in full the next day as a babysitting favour for my kid sister. Abject beyond belief.
Was the subject of Owen Wilson discussed? by riskebiz	Jul 18th, 2008 12:28:00 PM
Coogan is a schmuck in my book.
Why does anyone love Coogan? by AnnoyYou	Jul 18th, 2008 01:41:06 PM
Explain it to me, please. To me, as with Russell Brand, he's something only Brits could love, and even then I still don't understand the appeal of either. Both are unattractive, self-satisfied, preening and unfunny. Now I understand the popularity of and respect given to Eddie Izzard, Simon Pegg, Dylan Moran, etc. etc., but I'm baffled by these guys. What's up here?
Ass Miami Beeeeach by The Boz	Jul 18th, 2008 03:33:25 PM
I would tend to agree. I love the early PA movies but I thought 5 was pretty good despite its lack of Gute.
P.S. by The Boz	Jul 18th, 2008 03:36:24 PM
My entry into the contest has by far the best answer for unnecessary sequel.
Hmmmm by ByTor	Jul 19th, 2008 10:48:46 PM
Well, I have mixed feelings about this one, so I suppose I'll see it with an open mind. Watching the trailer I can see where it could be very funny and it could be utterly awful. And as for the sequel...how do you NOT go with Blues Brothers 2000? Virtually the same cast (minus John Belushi), director, everything...and so utterly, utterly awful it defies explanation. Sure, I expected it to take a hit losing Belushi, but nothing like this...
