"Wet Hot American Summer"

butthurt in the most literal sense of the word afterwards :(

I was intrigued to see this by the above, but seeing the european poster I now really want to see it. Is that a bit of skylab falling from the sky?!

oops...

yes that is a bit of skylab.

did you people that hate this movie enjoy "Anchorman?"

I was ambivalent toward both.

Another poster - this one has skylab on it. So what's the deal with skylab falling on a summer camp and why isn't it mentioned in the first poster? Or would that spoil the ending? (seems unlikely).

I didn't hate this movie but Anchorman is funnier. WHAS is just sorta shapeless, with the occasional funny bit/sketch popping up.

just watch the movie for god's sake

honestly I would rather just watch Little Darlings or Meatballs or any of the other half-dozen movies this is purportedly parodying

x-post

totally an O_O moment seeing det. elliot stabler humping a refrigerator

the first time i saw this i fell asleep and thought it was on some bullshit but i watched it a few weeks ago while drinking beerz and i thought it was a really good time even if i wasn't doing borat/anchorman rofling or anything

Meatballs is okay but it's also pretty sappy

anchorman isn't funny either, except for the 'whore island' line

good times with lil Tatum O'Neal, Christy McNichol, Cynthia Nixon, and shirtless, cutoff-jeans-shorts wearing Matt Dillon

meatballs aged slightly less well than natasha lyonne.

I really do not understand some of you people
anchorman completely blew btw except for tim robbins smoking a pipe in his afro wig dismembering people

milk was a bad choice

I dunno this just seemed like another one of those straight-to-comedy-central movies like the Hebrew Hammer or Waiting - a decent cast, a lazy to nonexistent script, the occasional funny joke and that's about it.

fwiw i dont think shakey is totally offtm even tho i def like whas

I think he's totally offtm.

This movie is great. Comparing it to The Hebrew Hammer and Waiting is a terrible injustice.

sometimes i do not understand what exactly some of you want from your wacky comedy genre.

jokes

rodney dangerfield

wtf who wants comedies to have super tight three act plotting and elegant structures and all that

also CRISTOPHER MELONI IS A LAUGH RIOT esp due to watching this right after watching Oz

Waiting is funnier than Anchorman or WHAS

that is the wrongest thing i've ever read

this is a pretty funny freakin movie, not perfect but hard for me to care

Comedies are supposed to make you laugh. I never understood people taking these movies super seriously... critics destroyed Dirty Work, but man, that movie is funny.

^^^^^ the new cash sitta

lol

dirty work is a piece of shit

Waiting is funnier than Anchorman or WHAS

^^true, if by Waiting you mean Waiting for Guffman

fuck a Christopher Guest

you're BASTARD people

i was too messd up to remember this movie, i'm sorry.

it was college! and dark.

the movie theater was too dark?

the bedroom. the bedroom was dark.

did you people that hate this movie enjoy "Anchorman?"

No. That was terrible too.

a decent cast, a lazy to nonexistent script, the occasional funny joke and that's about it.

^^^this is spot on, and applies to both films.

My Breakfast With Blassie is pretty funny, too.

so much rong on this thread.

this movie is funny. end of story.

if you can't enjoy meloni talking to a can, i can't help you.

dirty work is a piece of shit

man i thought you were sort of crazy hating on whas but when you say something like this it makes me want to prevent you from ever seeing another movie ever again

that's... oddly hostile

and Shakey knows hostile!

(excelsior-level zing bait; my bad)

I am a man of peace

i was thinking about this on the subway today actually because i can't really understand the hatred this movie inspires and i think it has to do with whether or not you grew up with the state (or sketch comedy in general) - i was like, 12 or 13 when the state was on and it hit me so hard with the funny but then for many years it wasn't on tv even in reruns or available on video (pre-youtube era) so i wonder if maybe people who were either a) in their jaded 20s when the show was on tv or b) not exposed to the show until their 20s because it was hard to come by, maybe never got that it was funny, because it is a juvenile type of comedy. i don't know maybe i am overthinking this.

I was in my jaded 20s when the State was on and saw a few episodes and thought it was horrible - especially when compared to stuff like Kids in the Hall or Mr. Show or hell any other high quality sketch show
