Oof

So, this whole "simultaneously prepping one movie, shooting another and editing a third for 16 weeks in a row" thing is precisely as life-eating as previously described. Aces. The entire goddam point of my career was to avoid a day job ...

Not dead, and now that I've written my second ep of the season, fairly caught up. Blogging to resume normally this weekend, if only because the American Carol stuff has gotten so idiotic I can no longer ignore it.

Oh boy! You are going off on American Carol. I can't wait.

What, exactly, makes this movie any worse than every other Zucker film produced in the last decade? I really am curious?

It's the exact same jokes he used in the last twelve Scary Movies. The production value isn't any worse either. And I'm willing to cut Kielsey Grammar some slack because he at least has comic timing.

They probably would have done better naming the film, "Just Another Conservative Wank Fest", but other than that I'm not really seeing how this film would rank higher than - say - The Hottie And The Nottie on the scale of "Bad Films That Go Straight To DVD".

Judging from the look of the thing, their best bet is probably to just rename it "CONSERVATIVE MOVIE" and hope that dittoheads run right out to see it without considering how crap it might be.

Odds on no critic screenings before release?

Inconstant Reader said...

zifnab, with the caveat that I'm going only by what has been reported, I would say that among the things that make this movie worse than the other Zucker films are the violence it does to Dickens, George Washington, and even George Patton (who wouldn't think much of that bunch in the White House); the eliminationist rhetoric ("They're not human: they're the ACLU! [machine gun fire]"; and certainly not least, the direct exploitation of the World Trade Center attack.

Of course, Rogers, me being out here on the leading frikkin edge of things, I had to U-turn momentarily to *wikipedia* "An American Carol" to find out wtf you meant.

Ohkaaaay.

Then onto YouTube to see the trailer.

That is freakin HILARIOUS!!!

Sorry if that paints me as PC (eff you, I am anyway!), but that made me laugh. And if you can't laugh at that, well, go pet a frikkin beached whale or something.

Team America: World Police came and went and, gee, Alec Baldwin ain't hurting from it. Or Michael Moore! (Who, I'm sure all will recall, was a *suicide bomber* in it!)

Yeah, saw the trailer this week. Looked like a Mad magazine version of a William Kristol Op-Ed.
And holy crap, how sad is it that David Zucker is behind this? I'm scared to go near the film for fear I won't like "Kentucky Fried Movie" anymore.
And John, welcome back. Can't wait to see "Leverage"!

Anonymous said...

On www.torrlog.com/search/label/Leverage they said that "it does seem to be almost like the ‘American version’ of the British show Hustle". www.bbc.co.uk/drama/hustle

Is there any relation / inspiration / sharing?

Unknown said...

John, do you have any plans to take your new show, Leverage, and turn it into a weekley sermon to advance your liberal beliefs. I'm guessing no since that would suck as much as using your big screen comedy as a projection of your neocon fantasies. That's why this will be worse than every Zucker film since 1988. Those movies were just bad, not bad neocon sermons.

Unknown said...

See Rogers, you go and do that work thing and the next thing you know the spam comments come in.

And An American Carol just doesn't come off as funny to me. It comes off as one of those please look conservatives can laugh too bits, like the Fox fake news show.

Unknown said...

What, nothing for Diablo 2? That list sucks.

Mike Cane said...

Wow, when it comes to politics, people lose their sense of humor.

If it'd been about Nader -- who is getting my vote -- I would have laughed.

Now how about a little comedy script about a Presidential candidate who makes a big deal about vetting his VP candidate and then winds up with a blatant plagiarist?

Oh wait ...

The Minstrel Boy said...

you can use this one if you want.

we were in "production hell week" of a stage show. i was trying to help out a bit by doing gopher work along with my musical duty (i was the bulk of the string section).

after one long list of things to do i looked at the director (who was about two facial tics away from totally fucking losing it all) and said:

dude, you want me to stick a broom up my ass so i can sweep the floor on my way back and forth?

Greg M said...

Oh please, oh please, oh please...we cannot WAITS to see the American Carol post!
(American Carol itself we will skip.)

BASEketball was a neocon sermon?

Mike Cane said...

>>>(American Carol itself we will skip.)

Well that goes without saying. I thought the trailer was funny, but it's one of those Eh, on TV things.

Team America I *had* to pay to see. It was PUPPETS. All hail Gerry Anderson.

Now anonymous up there has a point too. It's all games.

Anonymous said...

Surely, this is gonna suck.

Anonymous said...

I expect the movie will be lowbrow as hell. What will be even funnier is how many of the Limbaughites see it and then use it as a gospel.

Do you remember Forrest Gump and what hay they made out of that?

Unknown said...

Don't have to go back to Forrest Gump. You're talking about people who think that Spartans were the precurosor to the Heritage Foundation and that the man under Batman's mask is George W. Bush.

Tim W. said...

Hey, at least the trailer was better than Disaster Movie, but to steal an idea from one of the critics who lambasted it, that's kind of like saying that getting shot is better than being stabbed.

I'm not offended by the subject matter, but by the fact that people actually consider any of it funny.

The orcs, led by Thrall, suffered a series of setbacks on their journey across Kalimdor's Barrens. Though they befriended Cairne Bloodhoof and his mighty tauren warriors, many orcs began to succumb to the demonic bloodlust that had plagued them for years. Thrall's greatest lieutenant, Grom Hellscream, even betrayed the Horde by giving himself over to his baser instincts.2moons dil2moons goldaion goldbuy aion goldanarchy online creditsanarchy online creditarchlord goldbuy archlord goldcity of heroes influencecoh influencecity of villains infamycov infamyeve iskeve online iskflyff penya buy flyff goldflyff moneygaia online goldgaia goldge moneygranado espada visgranado espada goldguild wars goldgw goldhellgate london palladiumhero online goldlast chaos goldpirates of the burning sea goldpotbs doubloonragnarok zenyro zenyrappelz rupeerappelz goldrf online goldscions of fate goldsecond life lindensecond life moneystar wars galaxiesswg creditsthe sun onlinethe sun online goldsword of the new world vissword of the new world gold As Hellscream and his loyal Warsong warriors stalked through the forests of Ashenvale,tabula rasa credittabula rasa creditstales of pirates goldvanguard moneybuy vanguard goldvoyage century goldwarhammer gold2moons dil2moons goldaion goldbuy aion goldanarchy online creditsanarchy online creditarchlord goldbuy archlord goldcity of heroes influencecoh influenceeve iskeve online iskflyff penya buy flyff goldflyff moneygaia online goldgaia goldge moneygranado espada visgranado espada goldguild wars goldgw goldhellgate london palladiumhero online goldlast chaos goldpirates of the burning sea gold they clashed with the ancient night elf Sentinels.

Penyakit ini umumnya muncul karena penderita mengejan terlalu keras pada saat buang air besar. Dengan mengejan terlalu keras, maka pembuluh darah di sekitar anus dapat melebar dan pecah menimbulkan infeksi dan pembengkakan yang berakhir pada masalah wasir atau ambeien tersebut.
