Just picked up both Volunteers and The Truman Show at the Wal-Mart $5.50 dvd bin. I've been wanting to get Truman since it came out, but never got around to doing so. now, my tardiness has paid off. I wander what other major movies will get marked down soon.

What's wrong with Super Troopers? 'He's already pulled over! He can't pull over any farther!'

To me, it looks like a movie full of the stupid humor I haven't liked for about 20 years. I saw about 5 minutes of it on HBO or Cinemax awhile back, and it didn't improve my opinion of the movie one bit. Maybe one of these days if I see it on cable and can catch it at the beginning, I might watch it. I doubt, though, that I'll ever buy it.

Stupid Troopers

The Shower scene for one. I do not feel that it was done in good taste, or in good humor.

I guess if your "stoned" the movie would be quite funny, but since I saw it sober, I did not laugh once.

However, the person who recommended it to me saw it and laughed his head off. Of course that was after he and his friends had eaten "special" brownies and had far to much to drink.

"Who wants a moustache ride?"
"I do I do!"

I actually own the movie. Although I won't be catching Club Dread in the theaters. But seriously, what do you want from a troupe that names itself 'Broken Lizard'?

Speaking of troupes, did you know they've got a sequel to The Gamers coming out?
