#10 Uncle Buck

Oh Youtube you've let me down. Uncle Buck is hilarious but youtube doesn't have some of it's funniest clips, like when John Candy makes giant pancakes for Macauley Culkin's birthday "You should see the toast I couldn't even get it through the door!" But heres a little clip of John Candy, who is watching his nieces and nephew for a few days, going to an elementary school for a meeting with the vice principal.



To make up for the lack of uncle buck clips I will bombard you with random funny things.

These next 3 clips are the Welcome, Intermission and closing for The Animation Show, all clips are done by Don Hertzfeldt







Next are some banned/funny comercials









Well I suppose that's enough for now I should probally get back to work, I haven't blogged latly because of all the work i have (I bet everyone else is busy at this time of year too).

Oh but just to let you know i've been accepted to go to Italy this July (all I have to do is apply for my visa)!

#11 Caddyshack

I know that Caddyshack is great but I couldn't seem to express with words how great it is so I had Alex write about it.

Why is caddyshack so fantastic? Well where do we begin? First off it has Rodney Dangerfield (his best movie next to Back to School and Easy Money), Chevy Chase (best movie next to Vacation and 3 Amigos) Ted Knight ( best movie next to, oh wait a minute), bill murray, and that gopher! the scene w/ the baby ruth in the pool, the scene with bill murray pretending he's at the masters, the part at the marina! I have had full conversations with people only using lines from this movie (hence the SNL sketch). All and all, if you need a reason to understand why this movie is so good then you have obviously never seen the movie, therfore not living your life to the fullest!

#12 Animal House

Number one on most people's lists, Animal House is a classic. If you haven't seen it, watch it.



In other news...

I just got back from vacation. It was pretty boring I pretty much just sat around. I saw Ryan on Thursday, we went to see Reno 911. It was actually pretty funny.

Parker got back from his road trip. Monday we saw the 300, which didn't have much dialogue but what to you expect from a movie about Spartans? The best way to watch it is to try and ignore the violence and concentrate on the have naked men in fantastic shape.

I saw The Last King of Scotland, which was also violent but fantasic too. Forest Whitaker earned his Oscar. I rented Borat it was even funnier than I thought it was going to be. Sunday night I rented (Nexflixed) Stranger than Fiction. I think it was one of Will Ferrell's best movies yet. It was a comedy with a really good plot.

#13 Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine is about a family going to California for a child beauty pageant. Of course the family is made up of a drug addict grandfather (Alan Arkin), a son who took a vow of silence (Paul Dano), a loser father (Greg Kinnear), a worn out mother (Toni Collette), the uncle (Steve Carell) a homosexual scholar who recently tried to kill himself and a daughter who wants more than anything to win the Little Miss Sunshine competition (Abigail Breslin)

#14 Dumb and Dumber

Yes it can be cheesy and childish but that's also what makes it great. I don't know how many time I've declared that there's no need for a radio and start singing "mocking bird". And who hasn't thought about converting a van into an animal?

# 16. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

Number 16 on my list of Greatest Comedies of All Time: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure



Bill and Ted (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves) are two excellent dudes about to fail their history class and be separated, bogus! Luckily they are given a time machine from Rufus, a righteous dude from the future (George Carlin), and are able to go back in time and collect people from history to help them with their history presentation. Can they make it through history in time to give their report? Will they pass their class and go on to create the greatest band ever? Will they ever get Socrates' name right? Watch and find out.

I think I just peed myself!!!!


Sorry for the title but it's true, I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. Mark you're calendars May 22nd, 2008 (the day after my 21th Birthday) is the offical release date of Indiana Jones 4! Filming is starting in June of this year. Yes, I know Harrison Ford isn't very young but I guess they are working that into the script. Here's the link to the article I found on bbc news http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6339983.stm or you can check out http://www.indianajones.com/community/news/news20070102.html

Ashley the Librarian

Yes it's true, you're friend Ashley is now a librarian at AIB. I practiced my "Sssshhhh!" all week and today I was ready! Of course sshhing isn't the only responsibility of being a librarian, so I also watched some insprationaly, and informative clips on libraries and what it means to work in one.

This first clip is from UHF, if you haven't seen it yet you should, it's fantastic



And this clip provided by the US government



The cookie monster almost made me change my mind about becoming a librarian but then I decided that I could life a couple hours without a cookie

Michel Gondry's feet vs. Rubik's Cube

From the director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep comes an amazing feet of cubic proportions (all puns intended)



Now here's how he did it

the 80's

So far in my 80's class we've watched Micheal Jackson videos and a few others. We learned about some good and some horrible art made in the 80's and we went to the ICA.



I only have a few questions about this video
1. Where did he get that giant bow tie?
2. Is he dancing in front of jello?
3. Where did he get marbles that big?





A little Thriller triva, did you know that Micheal Jackson orginally wanted his pastic surgery to look something like this video but a survey showed that the face scared childern too much.

How did Micheal Jackson get John Landis to direct his music video? He directed Animal House, Blues Brothers, An American Werewolf in London, Trading Places, ¡Three Amigos!, and Coming to America!



Take on Me
I hope this teaches you all a very important lesson, always pay your bill before climbing into a comic book.
