I just got back from watching this one at a little second run movie theater in the next town over. It started off as a fairly funny little film. The premise was that no one had ever told a lie before, and then one day, one guy discovered how to lie. There are some decent laughs, and it was pretty good until about half way through the movie. At that point the main character's mother is dying, and he invents a story about a good afterlife to make her happy. Some nurses overheard him, and then he came up with a story about a man in the sky who controlled everything. So yeah, you guessed it, this movie was nothing more than some Hollywood mopes criticizing religion (primarily Judeo-Christian religion) in a way that they thought was edgy. The rest of the movie is primarily just the writers mocking religion.

The story about a guy discovering how to lie had a lot of potential, and there were some legitimately funny moments. I just wish the writers would have taken it down a more respectful path.

Tommy Boy is great. There aren't too many movies that I'll watch multiple times, but Tommy Boy is one of them. Farley and Spade are a great team in this one.

I'm generally a fan of Adam Sandler's goofier comedies (I can't say the same for his more chick flick stuff like the Wedding Singer or Spanglish), and while I thought Little Nicky was funny, it was far from his best. But I still enjoyed the movie.

Wow, tough crowd. I wouldn't call Coneheads a great movie or anything, but I thought it was funny.

It's one of the most common expressions on this list, although most people, including myself, will say "bathroom" even in reference to public restrooms which have no bath.

Reminds me of this line from Robin Hood: Men in Tights:

King Richard: From this day forth, all the toilets in the kingdom shall be known as... johns!

Several individual scientists were selected to represent U.S. scientists for the purpose of this award, one of which was James Van Allen. I currently work in Van Allen Hall, where Van Allen kept an office until he died a couple years ago. He used to park his Jeep outside the back door of our lab, I rode in the same elevator with him a few times, and I've attended seminars where he was present. I unfortunately never took the chance to speak to him directly.

Pope John XXIII called for Vatican II, which had a major part in shaping today's Church. I would say that the results of this council are much farther reaching than most non-Catholics would realize. The most visible of these changes includes the use of the vernacular instead of Latin in the Mass, as well as such things as the priest facing towards the people during the entire Mass, but the most important changes were those more theological in nature, as well as the Church's stance on other denominations.

There's enough laughs to get through an initial viewing, although I'd recommend beer (considering the point of the movie, I guess some would suggest pot, but I find laughing at high people to be more fun when I'm a bit inebriated). There isn't really any reason to watch it again, unless you had too much beer the first time around.

It's cheesy, corny, goofy and predictable. I think it's a comedy classic because of, not in spite of, those qualities.
