looking forward to this.

i loved talladega nights. it wasn't necessarily the rolling-on-the-floor laughing (as elicited by the Arrested Development episode "Mr. F", which remains, in my mind, the most brilliant moment in television), but there was something fun and charming about it. so now i'm soooo looking forward to blades of glory. sorry, but it looks awesome. i can't wait!

comedies are generally a hard sell for me, second only to romance on my list of movies to avoid (and don't even get me started on that most heinous of all genres, the romantic comedy). the last movies i really remember laughing at were from grade school - space balls, naked gun. later in life i loved trigger happy t.v. (okay, maybe because the first time i watched it i was pretty drunk on champaign), Arrested Development, Are you being served, absolutely fabulous, and, of course, the daily show, though we don't get cable any more. the occasional movies include zoolander, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum, and.... can't think of anything else right at this moment. surprisingly, i never got into monty python that much, though it was worth a chuckle or two, surprising, because it seems just the sort of thing i'd like.
