First, go see my standard disclaimer on lists. Read it over? Okay, now let’s make fun of one that came out this week: 100 Funniest Movie Moments. First off, is it the funniest moments or movies? Big difference there. You can have one movie with multiple worthy entries. Also, there are dramas and other genres that have a very funny scene or two that register enough laughs to be the equal of intentially funny movies. Also, there’s no set timeline. Okay, let’s take a look at the list.

Okay, let’s pick it apart:

No Coming to America? Damn shame what they did to that dog.

Wedding Singer in the Top Ten? That’s not even Adam Sandler’s best movie, let alone worthy of single digits.

Anything with Robert Deniro in it should be eliminated. He cannot do comedy.

Clueless, but no Clue?

Any world where Shrek is the third funniest movie I do not want to live in. That should be in Bravo’s upcoming 100 Scariest Movie Moments.

No quote today, but anyone who sounds off on the list gets a point.

Season One out today. The countdown to the new season on Adult Swim is on.

No quote today. But a point goes to everyone who posts their favorite line, scene, or moment from the Venture Brothers show.

I’m saw the X-Men movie this weekend in the theater and apparently wasn’t the only one. It had lots of action and attractive women. I made sure I stayed until after the credits cause there was a special extra there. The scene was so shocking that someone actually yelled, “Oh, Snap!”

Before that I saw the Ghost Rider movie trailer which looks… um, unfinished? Which is fine since it doesn’t come out until February. Hopefully, a little more polished by then. Although, there was an overwhelming reaction to the crash that broke open Nicolas Cage’s helmet in the opening stunt scene.

Speaking of moving pictures of men in leather and tights… Amy found this: a disturbing song and dance by Spider-Man.

And we end on a couple of Aquaman-related items.

Here’s what Dave Chappelle thinks of the King of the Seas.

Too bad, Dave. Cause Aquaman could actually make a decent-looking show. Don’t believe me? Check out this preview. Looks pretty good, eh? The CW network canned it to make room for One Tree Hill. There is an effort to save the show and reverse this painful decision.

“It’s called the double standard. Don’t knock it. We got the long end of the stick on that one.”

Last year, I threw out Fan Films during Memorial Day weekend. This year, it’s retrailers. Today, The Ten Commandments get turned into your typical high school comedy.

I love the Samuel L. Jackson cameo.

“There’s Doctor Jim Whitlock, the most brilliant man ever!”
“He’s pissing into the wind! How brilliant can he be?”

In lieu of any actual work on this blog, I tried to come up with a theme to still bring you new content but with minimum amount of work. My close personal friend, YouTube to the rescue. I talked about retrailers before, those quirky products of the internet where someone clever takes footage from a movie and re-edits about two minutes worth to make it look an advertisement for an entirely differenty kind of movie. Here, check out how they turn Jaws into a light-hearted comedy: Must Love Jaws.

“I’m the only winner on this team. The rest of ‘em, they’re losers. Either by choice, or by birth.”

Still some buzz following the second season finale of LOST that aired Wednesday night. And ABC tried really hard to milk it for all it’s worth. They tried to carry over their viewership into their late night viewership with a “reporesentative of the Hanso Foundation.” Here’s the interview from the Jimmy Kimmel show.

I didn’t know how to take this. It seemed like they tried to make it funny, but failed miserably. They talked about lots of stuff that are apparently on official LOST-related websites that I haven’t gone to yet. Something about a Joop and life extension program. Since the show won’t be on again for several months, maybe I need to check them out to catch up on some more of the Hanso backstory. Um… anyone know where to find those sites?

“I can’t spell anything with these cards.”

I’ll be talking about the season finales for LOST and 24 so there’s SPOILERS here. So you may want to skip today’s blog if those episodes are still on your TiVo or whatnot.

Okay, back to the title… I’d been saying this for a while now, but my guess was that failure to input the numbers cause Oceanic Flight 815 to crash. As things stand right now, Desmond’s belief is that when the numbers weren’t typed in on September 22, 2004, it caused the plane to come crashing down. When he said that, I raised my hands and cheered myself: “I finally got one right.” After all, I bombed pretty badly on my belief of two different tribes of “Others” and other foolish theories. It’s nice to get one right every once in a while. Of course, Season 3 could open up with a complete undoing of what Desmond Hume believes so maybe I shouldn’t get too uppity. Or maybe I should toot my own horn for the next few months just for that reason. Although, I have no clue what was up with that statue.

And 24 wrapped up very well. I kinda figured that the dangling China plot would be touched on by the end. Sure made a hellova cliffhanger. Poor Jack, just can’t have a happy ending to one of these days, can he?

By the way, both were helped by being double sized finales. Another thing that comics don’t do too much of anymore. Maybe thats another reason I am losing my comics buzz. Looking forward to another season of non-stop 24 and less-stopping LOST.

Anyone want to talk about either of these finales?

“”Since ‘I’ll be back’ worked in one movie, the filmmakers had to bring it back, like, 37 more times.”

Although, I guess you needed to see the first Clerks movie for this to be funny.

“It’s in your nature to destroy yourselves.”
“Yeah. Major drag, huh?”

Some interesting developments in the world of Ohio’s amusement parks. Cedar Point’s owners bought King’s Island. For those who don’t know, King’s Island is an amusement park outside of Cincinnati. You may have seen KI in episodes of The Brady Bunch, the Partridge Family, and Evel Knievel jumped over 14 buses in the parking lot. Yeah, that King’s Island. Paramount’s owned it for the past decade or so and obviously that hasn’t really worked for them. No matter what Cedar Fair decides to do, there will be no changes at the park this season. So it’s too early to tell what kind of affect this will have on the pride of Mason, Ohio. I wonder if this means King’s Island will get a new spark of life, or get shut down to make it easier to lure folks up to Cedar Point.

“Of course martial arts training is relevant. Oh excuse me, I know about a billion Asians that would beg to differ.”

While I was at the Goat’s place this past weekend, the conversation turned to Battlestar Galactica as it oft wont to do. He had just seen, for the first time, episodes of the show’s original late 1970s run. Compared to the current incarnation on Sci-Fi, he thought it was crap. He then wondered aloud if there had ever been a follow-up that blew away the original, that was so overwhelmingy more spectacular and superior in all conceivable ways to it’s predeccessor.

My answer: World War II.

“I looked up fubar in the German dictionary and there’s no fubar in here.”
