Wasn't the male/female distinction more clearly demonstrated by those who liked/did not like Blazing Saddles? Perhaps it's just me and my weird-ball friends, but that one kind of split the audience on gender lines.
Oh, and I love the Stooges too.
I heard a comment somewhere that "only men like A Christmas Story" and women everywhere hate it. What? I like it! It reminds me of my own childhood as well!


Blazing Saddles: I like it but I've only seen bits and pieces of it. Most Mel Brooks movies I've seen I love, i.e. Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, History of the World, The Producers, Robin Hood: Men in Tights. I don't see Mel Brooks comedy as appealing to one gender more than the other but I my old boss hated him. Dunno!
A Christmas Story: I don't know what it is about that movie but I hate it...even with Darren McGavin in it. But I do recognize its validity as a Christmas classic. I know so many people who love it.

I love Mel Brooks but didn't like "Saddles". OTOH, loved "Young Frankenstein"; it's one of my favorites.


"What knockers!"
"Sank you, doctor!"

!!!! :D



Failing their intervention, a drinking game in which you chug anytime the author mentions hair or says "indeed" would suffice.


Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air...

Spending every dime, for a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits...

Great, great movie.
Ah, but "Oh sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you" had to be one of the funniest uses of music I've ever been happy to see...
