“It’s a Zen Thing,
like how many babies fit in a tire”
I watched Waiting for Guffman last night after work. Jezus! Christopher Guest is funny. I think a collection of his great works is in order in DVD.
This Is Spinal Tap – a blueprint for improv comedy
The Big Picture – Martin Short’s scene as the agent is worth the admission alone
The Princess Bride Reiner does Mel Brooks. A great cast.
Waiting for Guffman – Corky is a national treasure.
Best of Show – Eugene Levy never got respect on Second City. This is some of his best work.
A Mighty Wind – Peter Paul and Mary meet Spinal Tap.
And somewhere, I am sure, there is a collection of his work from Saturday Night Live. His stuff with Billy Crystal was classic, classic stuff.
I really could just go totally nerd with this stuff, buying the scripts and memorizing them. Someone stop me now.
