BB has its moments, I just didn't think enough to warrant its "beloved" status. <br /><br />I've added Baghead to my queue. Saw Cyrus as well this weekend. I agree wholeheartedly with you; they've got passion and it shows, and I enjoy family efforts, and The Puffy Chair certainly qualifies there.<br /><br />And hell yeah - the big fantasy draft for me is Labor Day weekend in Vegas. Something like 6 straight years in Vegas for that.

I started a couple times and stopped after 10 minutes cuz I was bored. People will crucify you for that. This film is beloved.<br />As far as the Duplass bros, I haven't done Puffy Chair yet but did do Baghead and liked it... only because of the budget it was done on though. Nothing groundbreaking but I like filmmakers that get out and pursue their passion even if they don't have money! Oh, and I LOVE THE LEAGUE! My fantasy draft is next month which means season 2 shouldn't be far behind!Kaidermanhttp://kaispace.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-9643482847234955562010-07-02T08:16:18.823-07:002010-07-02T08:16:18.823-07:00Blues Brothers has been on lists of the greatest c...Blues Brothers has been on lists of the greatest comedies of all time forever. Basically, to answer your question about who told me it was hilarious: everyone. Who didn't?<br /><br />The music is good, though the Aretha one stands out as being really fucking awkward and horribly acted by both her and that muscley guy, but I suppose that's what you get when you have musicians acting.<br /><br />I appreciated it for a lot of things, but wouldn't say I particularly loved it.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-9259295587842463312010-06-30T22:53:10.649-07:002010-06-30T22:53:10.649-07:00I dunno who told you "Blues Brothers" wa...I dunno who told you "Blues Brothers" was a laugh-a-minute movie cause it's not. It's just a cool musical with some funny things thrown in. The best scenes have to be the country bar and the last half hour of the movie where they're trying to get to downtown Chicago to get the money to the office.<br /><br />Maybe watch it again and see if you like it a bit better. Or maybe I'm just bias cause I lived near Chicago my entire life. (See: Ferris Bueller's Day Off)<br />-JasonJason Sotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892643201429905459noreply@blogger.com
