Let'S LOOK AT THE IMDB PAGE OF!:Total Recall

Click Picture to be Taken to IMDB page

Quick Refresher:
Sandwiched between "this is a good idea" of Twins and the "this is the best idea" of Kindergarten Cop, Total Recall is the 1990 movie that established that Arnold Schwarzenegger will make us money. The plot revolved around space, the future, mutants, aliens, and Arnold not knowing who he is. The plot didn't really matter though because there was so much unnecessary violence.


A Quick Glance Over:
The top of the page offers us 5 trailers. That means they used 5 different arguments to try and get you to watch this movie. We also see that Total Recall was "inspired" by a Philip K. Dick short story. There are 2 Oscar nomination (one of which was a win) to the movie's credit. Also the director has a foriegn name. All these factors have led me to believe that this was an actual good movie of its time. Looking at the state of special effects and of Arnold himself today--- WTF?

Let's Look at the Careers of:
We all know Arnold and Sharon Stone. But there is a longer list of people who never capitalized on being in a summer blockbuster set on Mars.

Rachel Ticotin, was Melina, the love interest. She went on to play many Spanish women roles in a whole bunch of crap. Just look at her character names on IMDB- Laura Martinez, Maria Chavez, Vangie Gonzalez, Teresa Cortez, Carmen's Mom, Nancy's Masseuse. This coming from one of the 12 most promising actor's of 1981 and the mother of David Caruso's child.

Michael Ironside plays a classic Sci Fi villain. In fact he always does. In over 190 acting credits, I can't seem to find him prevalent in anything. He does get some points for being in Jo Jo Dancer Your Life is Calling and the movie McBain starring Christopher Walken that was less popular than the Simpson's character of the same name.

Mel Johnson Jr played turncoat cabbie Benny. His scenes added much needed panache and flavor to the balloon screeching lilt of Arnold's voice. Pretty big role where he got to do some chase scenes. How did he squander it? By never doing anything. His last credit was 2004 in the awesomely titled In The Shadows of the Cobra. But I did learn that in 1991 they tried a Munsters reboot which he has a credit too.

Debbie Lee Carrington played the midget prostitute I couldn't help but look up. Let's just list: munchkin, ewok, additional duck, little bigfoot, garbage pail kid, countless aliens, Mickey's girlfriend on Seinfeld, an Emporer Penguin, creature, elf, and Frankenturkey.

Money Shot! The 3 breasted woman played by Lycia Naff. Did she ever outshine the stigma of having three breasts? No! You would've heard of her. She has a daytime Emmy nom for an ABC afterschool special, hosted an infomercial with Roger Daltry, and played herself on Denise Richard's reality TV show which exists.

Ah Johnny Cab, voiced by Robert Picardo. Picardo might be the best actor of this bunch here. You should recognize him as Coach Cutlip from the Wonder Years, but he also has other stuff you've heard of but don't watch to his credit. According to IMDB he is 5'10"


15 Minutes into the page:
-Why is this gallery in black and white? (We also see that the better posters do not feature Arnold.)
-Trivia tells us the body count is 77, this originally got an X rating, I wish this was a Cronenberg film, and that the original producers went bankrupt and Arnold basically hand-picked the new ones. If this doesn't tell you that the movie is ultimately shitty, nothing will.
-Parental Guides on IMDB are pretty lame looking. But it is fun to see that 'fuck' is said 28 times.
-If you want to make your suicide go slower. I suggest reading the goofs page. This is a combination of nerdiness, know-it-all-ism, inability to suspend disbelief, and questioning why someone would pay any close attention to anything. Example: "Errors in geography: The exterior shots of Mars depicts the Martian sky as having either a dark orange or deep crimson color to it. In reality, the Martian sky is not as deeply colored, and actually a light pink or light orange color at times."

-Quick facts: There were 3 original songs on the soundtrack that no one should own; the credits say blatanly, "Play the Total Recall game by Acclaim"; In the German Version the "Johnny Cab"-Robot is making a loud belching sound instead of saying "Hell of a day, isn't it ?" This is possibly an in-joke by the dubbing studio.; the porno is called Total Reball; And this movie might actually make a decent remake.


People are THE BEST:
In the messageboards, user mikekaraoke23 is perplexed that the movie says by the difference of 1989 and 1990, not knowing whether to make this an 80s movie or a 90s movie. Despite the fact that it was released in 1990, mikekaraoke23 simply wants 1989 to have the credit because that when Total Recall was filmed, he sites his RoboCop VHS and knowledge of the film 'Ghost' as examples. Another user rationally explains to mikekaraoke23 that post-production and marketing are all part of the process, and that the film's year is when it is seen by the audience. But mikekaraoke23 thought of something, and since he thought of it, he is right and uses super specific knowledge on the film 'Ghost' to establish as much so.

Also in messageboards, fans played a game where they created a thread where everyone says 'This post was deleted because..." and I randomly found this one.

I also found a thread remarking on Sharon Stone's Sweat, with 3 creepy horny replys. I clicked on one, Gridoon, and found his movie reviews to be charming. He seems to like the psuedo-porn sci-fi genre, mixed with some Abbott and Costello slap-stick, and for some reason works involving Agatha Christie. On page 21 of his reviews, I found his love of Shannon Tweed and the hatred of movies she was in: "you don't expect a woman who made a name for herself by starring in countless soft-core erotic thrillers to be a convincing fighter, but somehow Tweed is."

Final Thoughts:
Holy Shit. Looking at this page as much as I did felt like making a brick squirt brick juice. I feel like I just backwards learned the process in which to suck out one's brain with a vacuum, which means blowing it in through my ass. Total Recall is kind of a great movie if you forget about taste and want violence and haven't seen a movie since 1990. I covered it because it kind of is a guilty pleasure, and I wondered what happened to Benny. Now, after seeing how seriously this movie took itself, and how much people actually see it as a viable film? Fucking noonan to this. I am only going to watch this movie one more time because Arnold himself does the audio commentary. His voice is funny.

Special Segment: The Search for Higher Meaning: Animaniacs "Acquaintences"

Hey what's up. Dumb Reviews has decided that every Friday, we will do a special segment. Last week was special segment week, and those went over well enough. So every month has 4 Fridays, and each of those will correlate to a special segment I did last week. But some months have 5 Fridays, and that's where this post comes in. This special segment is called The Search for Higher Meaning. I did a post like this before about Tex Avery's Who Killed Who, and I like cartoons so much that I might as well do a post like this every once in a while. Today: Animaniacs in "Acquaintences".


The Animaniacs took Steven Spielberg's idea of bastard Looney Tune Children that became Tiny Toons, into a more satirical, original route. It was a more conventional comedic grouping, and moved away from the shadows of Looney Tunes into a more Chuck Jones/ Tex Avery style of mayhem. Needless to say Chuck Jones and Tex Avery made the best Looney Tunes, but their shadows extend to a much more prolific grounds. That's just me on my high horse though.

Animaniacs took risks and didn't really care about its child audience. They simply knew the kids would be there because its a cartoon. The result of which was a smart, modern comedy. This specific episode captures the mentality pretty well. The 3 antagonistic protagonists are thrown in a situation and annoy people we find annoying. Simple simple simple. The jokes work on many levels. As physical gags, and as just a parody of Friends.

We get a small undercut of immigration jokes which is made all the more funnier when put against the idea of a show like Friends. People come to New York for this freedom, but really Americans are just spoiled 'trendies drinking cups of joe'. That line is taken from the Acquaintences Theme Song, as biting satire to sum up Friends in with the opening line "who would ever thought that this could be a show?" The music throughout the episode is spot on- from the clapping in the theme to the linking electric guitar riffs. Everything is spot (but by design, not necessarily) on. Broad strokes are taken to the Friends paradigm, which comes off as mean- but I kind of enjoy that.

The criticisms of the episode, and in fact Animaniacs overall, is their stagnation in remaining a testament. The bits, such as instead of throwing the Warners out- the Friends cast is somehow thrown out instead, are funny- but funny in a classic manner. It really all depends how much you have seen the joke before. They even hit the same joke twice in referencing sitcoms. While The Brady Bunch joke works more as a non sequitar to eat up time, the Seinfeld joke works as a natural ending. It's more ho hum than anything, but so was the nature of cartoons in the 90s. They were great to an extent, bogged down by their love of nostalgia. Animaniacs can deliver episodes like Acquaintances all they want, and they'll make you laugh (directly calling Matt LeBlanc Tony Danza is really funny). They also make you want to watch other cartoons as well. Thank goodness we had Slappy the Squirrel, the Hip Hippos, Good Feathers, Chicken Boo, Randy Beaman's friend Colin, Good Idea Bad Idea, and Pinky et the Brain to round them all out.

I'm glad that Animaniacs existed and had the same view of Friends I did. I'm glad they can sneak in jokes like a sexy silhouette and make it turn out to be just Yakko. I'm glad they can reference how stupid laugh tracks are, and I'm glad they can make fat jokes and references to foiles bergere without batting an eye. I'm just not going to tell you I love it. Animaniacs- you're about a B in my book.

YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN: Armand Assante in Fatal Instinct


The Hollywood Spoof Movie is a grand tradition. For some. For me: it's an excuse to be absolutely ridiculous without much repercussion. Where as Airplane! and The Naked Guns proved not just a gold standard of not just spoofing but of comedy in general, the current set of parody movies, starting with Scary Movie and continued being trashed in any movie with the word movie in the title since then (exception being Scary Movie 3) have all but ruined spoofing. In the 90s, thanks to the Naked Gun, 2 Hot Shots! movies, and the great Mel Brooks, we had the twilight years of Spoof movies. And since Mel Brooks did it, we had Carl Reiner trying his hand at it with 1993's "Fatal Instinct".

Lampooning Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, Body Heat, and a host of other 'erotic thrillers' was a great 'of course' idea since the early 90s was the commercial peak of the genre. With Carl Reiner directing and a hilarious title in place- the movie couldn't possibly fail, could it? And of course: it failed, making less than $8 million in theaters. Maybe people didn't want to see sexy movies in a goofy light, maybe people were confused because there was a takes-it-serious movie called Fatal Instinct with Michael Madsen a year earlier, maybe people realized that this was stupid, hackey jokes that are too easy to make. Fatal Instinct was rated PG-13 and, yes, it does pander to the audience as if they were deaf passengers on a plane being instructed on how their seats act as a flotation device.

That however- is through no fault of the movie's lead (and the reason for writing this entry) Armand Assante. Assante gravitates the gruff outlines of film noir sleaze with the imminment yet subtle fierceness. This allows his dialouge to really zing, as Assante delivers each line as if they were part of a grittier and more intense movie.

Where as Leslie Nielsen was the whole enchilada for the Naked Gun, Assante is the spicy after taste for Fatal Instinct. Playing it straight is the essential element of parody, and Assante is so straight that he becomes part of the movie. So, to a typical audience, we get what is known as Dewey Cox syndrome, where we believe the character too much that it clouds our vision of the overall spoofiness of the movie. It is why Charlie Sheen, in the way we would never take him seriously, was perfect for the Hot Shots franchise. Assante hits the stride in his character's gallup and takes the movie from a simple spoof into a spoof with some hair on its chest. Check out Fatal Instinct's ridiculous sex scene, and notice how Assante delivers the line "I forgot my keys", its so sharp and straight that it cuts the haha tone in half.
(also the best line in the movie goes to Sean Young- o baba loo)

Assante isn't a comedian by any means, but he is an actor by SUPER ULTRA MEGA means. He digs in too deep for a movie too shallow. The plot takes too many turns, cramming in too many parody storylines, but the acting of Armand Assante at least keeps the movie from turning into a call and response mess of Epic Movie proportions. Fatal Instinct- see it, don't see it- doesn't really matter much.

What's important here is that we recognize that though Fatal Instinct can be considered a failure, a reactionary impulse to the times- one that undermines itself with stale gags, Armand Assante's performance and reputation should not be sullied. He remains the palm tree you cling to during this storm. Armand Assante there is no blood on your hands. Your hands are clean.

WHAT MY THEME SONG SAYS ABOUT ME: Perfect Strangers

The theme song to a television show is pretty unimportant for something very very important. I honestly don't know how I can make that anymore clear.


Perfect Strangers' Theme song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" was a song that could only exist within the realms of being a theme song. Was it good? No. Was it cheesy and memorable parallel to the cheesiness and memorableness of the actual show? Indubitably. The song was written by perhaps the most prolific songwriters whose names you would never recognize- Jesse Frederick and Bennett Salvay, writers of not just this theme, but of Family Matters, Step by Step, and Full House theme songs. That's a whole lot of vague metaphors about togetherness.

But, ahem, what does the Perfect Strangers' theme say about Perfect Strangers? Well it establishes an aura of soft playfulness. The jittery keyboard is uplifted by the most welcoming of drum beats right off the bat, and then a little harmonica is thrown in there making you feel: relaxed. We don't have to worry about these strangers, because these strangers are light hearted characters with some relatable qualities. The theme's harmony says: "Ya know- these guys really are perfect strangers." Perfect being one of the most overused words of modern corporate marketing. Then we get lyrics:

Sometimes the world looks perfect,
Nothing to rearrange.
Sometimes you get a feeling
Like you need some kind of change.

-In the first 2 sentences, we get the entire backstory. There are 2 feelings these guys have felt in their lives. Perfection in their lives, and then a rejection of that perfection in the form of moving to Chicago with a person who will likely be the catalyst for a series of misadventures pertaining to one of you not being from the country. Eh, you're in your late 20s, go for it.

No matter what the odds are this time,
Nothing's going to stand in my way.
This flame in my heart,
And a long lost friend
Gives every dark street a light at the end.

- The golden line of a poorly written character, "Nothing's going to stand in my way". It doesn't get much more watered down relatable than that. You can have all the "Flame in my heart" and "light at the end"s in the world, because "nothing's going to stand in my way" is being sung. It's vapid, yet, through irony, quite poignant.

Standing tall, on the wings of my dream.
Rise and fall, on the wings of my dream.

-This is the best part of the song, and undoubtedly the part you remember. The rest of the song can suck it because I have dreams, and these dreams are flying. They are flying because they have wings. My dream grew wings and is now in a sky. And I am on those wings. I am falling while rising on those wings. On those dream wings my standing isn't short, my dream wing standing is tall. It is tall. On the wings of my dream. Just saying it makes me want to, I dunno, fix the leak in my den.


The rain and thunder
The wind and haze
I'm bound for better days.
It's my life and my dream,
Nothing's going to stop me now.
- Harmonica again to remind us: it's just a song for a TV show. We were so struck by the exuberance of the dream wing breakdown, that this harmonica comes in and slaps us back down to the couch saying "hey now watch this show". Which we likely did. Because that theme song let us know that we didn't have to think during this show. The images we saw were of a straight laced white guy and a foreign man, both with odd noses, galavanting about Chicago, while I know they at least have dreams, and, though I can't see it, I know they have feelings for each other.

The theme to Perfect Strangers outshines the Perfect Strangers show. You remember Balki. You remember Balki had semi-catchphrases or just said the same words in a funny way on a regular basis. You know Larry's haircut better than you know Larry. But, c'mon, you know that theme song more than anything. Its hollow sentiment and cotton soft instrumentation scream late 80s hopefulness. In fact- Treehouse of Horror 15 used the song instead of the regular theme, if not only for its irony, but for the 'perfect' button to its opening parodying of sitcom cliches. The Perfect Strangers theme songs sits atop a pile of TV theme songs as the shining example that TV themes are simultaneously rudimentarily lifeless and unabashedly thrilling. At least in the one part where the singer belts it out.

Everybody: Stan Ding TAAAAAALLL...

WAY TO READ A LINE: Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday

Sentences are what makes movies great. Sure, visuals, acting, and story all have their great say. But sentences can tie all those aspects together in harmonium. The sentences are where we understand situation. A great sentence can articulate emotion, character depth, situation, and tone of a movie all at once. The 'Way to Read a Line' portion of Dumb Reviews is a hall of fame of sorts for these sentences.

Freaky Friday. Have you seen it? It's alright if you haven't, its a disney movie starring Lindsay Lohan. It was the movie that let us know- 'uh oh, she's gonna be hot' after the delightful re-telling of The Parent Trap. Here we see Lindsay cast as a punk rocker styled teen, which is a way to show us she is a little bit rock n roll despite her little bit of country upbringing. The Parent Trap made Lindsay work, sharing most of her scenes with herself in a dual role. Here- Lindsay doesn't have to do much, as she is being carried by Jamie Lee Curtis.

Oh you know what line I am going to do. The line is so great, it pretty much is the entire movie.

1:17 mark (then you shouldn't watch the rest)

"OH I'M LIKE THE CRYPT KEEPER!!!!"

'Oh I'm like the crypt keeper'. The line establishes that Jamie Lee is here to play the game. She is willing to say stupid and genial lines with such gusto that a teenager who looks like a mom is not just plausible, but of course one exists. Jamie Lee just set the gold standard for the standard of adults who have switched with the body of their teenager (Hanks in Big does not count, no switching... the movie you're thinking of is Judge Reinhold/Fred Savage in Vice Versa). All in the line about a basic cable late 90s reference. The Lohan character would've been about 8 when Tales from the Crypt aired, but clearly the character (now in Mom form) couldn't think of anything uglier than the crypt keeper. But maybe not uglier... wrinklier, and older both are covered by the Crypt Keeper, as is the angst expressed in teen's and their nostalgic references. It also should be noted that Tales from The Crypt was dead and gone, but Disney did a good job of picking a safe target, one that was still well enough within our collective memory (not too soon, not too late) to get a whole harted chuckle out of.

I really can't think of anything else from that movie you need to know about. I have seen the movie, as it aired on a consistent basis on the Disney Channel back when Even Stevens re-runs were in about 3rd or 4th rotation. Mom switches body with daughter, they learn to love to live.... but just say the line to yourself plainly, now say it to yourself with the enthusiasm of Jamie Lee Curtis. It's ridiculous, and it is just what the movie needed. Too bad, nothing everTry saying it to your friend out of context, or to someone on the street. I haven't tried that, but I bet it'd be semi-funny. It's the best line from a C+ movie. The line alone explains why the plus is a necessary addition: sweet Jamie Lee.

Congratulation Jamie Lee Curtis-- Way to read a line.

LET'S LOOK AT THE IMDB PAGE OF!: Wishbone


As part of "special segment week", we have Let's Look at The IMDB Page Of!, a pretty self-explanatory title where we see what's going on with people we shouldn't care about.

CLICK THE PICTURE!


Quick Reminder:
A PBS kids show where they taught famous tale, legends, folklore, and popular literature by means of a dog imagining it, and that sentence isn't as cool as it sounds thanks to them trying to be educational. The dog was Wishbone, and he drew parallells to his owner's pre-teen problems. The owner, Joe, ONLY had a mom, 2 friends (one girl, one black), and a wacky neighbor who Wishbone would make the fool.

Glance over the IMDB page:
For seasons, it lists 1 2 and 4, and then unknown. Further prying shows there is no mention of a third season, and that Wishbone in its 3rd year simply ended the second season and started the 4th. Also, there were only 47 episodes of Wishbone and only 3 cast members- Joe, his mom, and his friend who is a girl (while the black friend only managed 45) played in them all. Wishbone's voice was only in 46 episodes and no explanation of the one episode without him is there, which is weird because he narrates each episode and is the title character to the show. 4 different dogs have gotten credit to play Wishbone, all with cute names: Soccer the dog, Bear the dog. Phoebe the dog, and Slugger the dog. The page later tells us Soccer was the star, and the rest were simply sunt dogs. So that shows us Soccer was too much of a primadonna to do his own stunts of digging up the garden or ringing the bells of Notre Dame (both of which Wishbone has done).

Let's look at the careers of:
Joe Talbot played by Jordan Wall - Moralistic teen Joe proved to be Jordan's albatross. He has only been in 3 non-Wishbone credits. They in included 'Teen' in Fact-based story about a woman's fight to get her rodeo star husband freed from a false murder conviction, and 'Straight Laced Teen' in Anarchist's Cookbook (which shows us that there is so little straigh lacedness in this movie that the straight laced characters don't even get a name). His character has a name in The President's Man: A Line in the Sand, whichs is the made for TV sequel to the made for made for TV movie The President's Man starring Chuck Norris.His short bio informs us that he won the role of Joe "after competing against some 2,300 young actors in an open casting call." Some 2,300! I also am not sure you counted! It also informs us that he played Free Safety for his High School Football Team in Texas.

Samantha 'Sam' Kepler played by Chritie Abbott - She ran with it after Wishbone, appearing in 5! credits afterward! My guess is because she is because she got hot and knows how to use photoshop. Christie is from Hawaii and modeled when she was a 3-year old.

Ellen Talbot portrayed by Mary Chris Wall - Mary Chris Wall Lady's and gentlemen, a somewhat veteran actress who had it, and kind of still has it, going on. She has appeared in on such hits as 24, Dexter, Saving Grace, Ghost Whisperer, Monk, and Corey in the House. My personal favorite credit though: UPN Blockbuster Shockwave Theater where she was the voice of Syndra. She looks a lot like Jordan Wall and they have the same last name, but there is no mention that they are related.

Larry Brantly as the voice of Wishbone - Larry continued with four other voice acting credits until he found the 2nd role of a lifetime as a bear named Boz. Boz is green and Christian. STATE REFERENCE: I, WANT, TO, BE, BOZ'S BITCH.

Adam Springfield (David Barnes (last names right?)) - Poor, ol' black friend. 2 other credits. One was JAG, the other was the Harry Hamlin vehicle Movie Stars, co-starring former cute 'n christian kid turned hottie teenage daughter Marnette Patterson- who I have discussed previously. Full circle. Oh, Harry Hamlin was in LA Law, but you should know that.

The most prevalent Wishbone, Soccer, is not the most succesful. That would happen to be Bear. Bear was also a dog named Dreyfuss across three different sitcoms: Empty Nest, Nurses, and The Golden Girls. He even has a credit as himself on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee.

The most successful person from the cast: Amy Acker, who went on to be in Angel.

Funniest Name: Chamblee Ferguson. Here's where I put together that there has been a lot of Wishbone/Walker Texas Ranger-crossover. I attribute this to both shows being filmed in Texas, and needings local extras.

Name I clicked on randomly: Jeanne Simpson, who memorably portrayed Joan of Arc, on Wishbone. Wishbone didn't play it himself as the role was for a woman and Wishbone could not simply see a woman's perspective. Jeanne is actually doing awesome appearing in 4 episodes of Mad Men and most recently Parks and Recreation.

I had to see: The guy who played Buddha- John William Galt. Not much karmic success lately. But some nice credits including the obligatory Walker T. Ranger, the voice of Lyndon Baines Johnson in both JFK and Forrest Gump, and the Warden in Problem Child.

15 Minutes into the page:
Wishbone is a unique page in that amongst its writing credits of unknown children's show writers are William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Bill Maher writer Adam Felber, and the great Mo Rocca. I recommend checking out the gallery where we see many WishboneVHS home video covers. They not only show us such hilarious pictures, but let us in on hilarious titles like: the too accurately costumed Frankenbone, the weapon-rearing Paw Prints of Thieves, and the what the fuck is going on in Hot Diggety Dawg. A listing of the full episodes gives us such magnameneous titles as: Shakespaw, The Entrepawneur, Pup Fiction, and mildly racist pun intended Roamin' Nose. Wishbone actually has won all 4 Day-Time Emmy Nominations it received- 2 for costumer designer Stephen Chudel. It also has won a Peabody Award, back-to-back Critic's Choise Awards, but lost the heralded Kid's Choice Award for Favorite Animal. Also- Wishbone has an astounding 9.4/10 rating from 377 females who have voted. If anything, if you take the time to seek out Wishbone on IMDB and vote on it, you might as well vote high.

People are the BEST:
B Head 556 uses the message board to ask about the episode that "SCARED THE SHIZ out of" him, TacosRdelicious tells him it is the HG Well's Time Machine episode, while SweeneyLovesLovett uses the forum to admit to not being able to fall asleep without the TV on. Another users uses the message board for the personal use of asking everyone "Where is Baravelli_the_ice_lad_y????" I assumed she posted this all over IMDB message boards, but found out only through Wishbone has she tryed finding someone.

The least helpful user review was from samcracc who says "There was a place called Oakdale and there was a Jack Russel Terroir named who tells the stories in his imagination from a book. Bruno Nusen's dog is a very nasty dog that messes up peoples area. It was in an episode called Hercles Unleashed when Wishbone's bone is missing. Larry Brantley has done a great job of Wishbone's voice. These are very perfect characters for every story in every episode of Wishbone. Soccer the dog, Bear the dog, Pheobe the dog, and Slugger the dog are perfect dogs for Wishbone. This show is excellent you will like this show, Oakdale, the stories, and even Wishbone the dog." Looking at the rest of his reviews, he gives a lot of 10 stars out: Family Guy ("Why does Drew Barrymore can't do new episodes anymore"), I Now Prounounce You Chuck and Larry("o Chuck and Larry went to a costume party and need to find Alex Mcdonough. Chuck was dressed as a Vampire and Larry was dressed as an Apple. So Chuck found a person in a playmate costume (Davide Spade). They found her wearing a costume of the cat."), Random Children's Shows (such as Wee Sing in the Big Rock Candy Mountain), and an episode of Mad Money with Jim Kramer. His most helpful was one where he says he loves Homer Simpson, while his least helpful review was about the Star Wars Family Guy episode. Which means Simpsons users aren't dumb enough to use IMDB as a forum. He says 'Hilarius' a lot, and my favorite review of his is one of The Girls Next Door, which he gave a 10 to and says in the title "Kendra had a big butt when she was on a motorcycle in the Playboy shoot for the calendar".

Final thoughts:
Looking at the IMDB page one last time, I still feel no strong emotion toward anything that ever went on with the show, making me feel no guilt whatsoever for making fun of people on my blog on the internet. I do however remember most of the theme song, so they beat me in that regards.
