An American Carol

Jesus, Dools, of all the people to complain about threads going off on tangents. You're on the fucking computer anyway, what difference does it make which site you get the info from?

 

It's somewhere on the Intertubes, Ky. If I can find that, I know somewhere out there is porn.

 

Where exactly is Intertubes, Ky? Is that near Lexington or Paducah?

 

Maybe Frankfort. I meant KY. Or I could have just said Jelly, I suppose

 

It's just outside Blue Lick, slap.

 

OK, since you apparently have to do homework before posting on a thread, here's what I found on IMDB:

"The American spirit is celebrated in the outrageous and totally irreverent comedy An American Carol from David Zucker, the master of questionable taste (Airplane!, The Naked Gun, Scary Movie 3 and 4).

"In An American Carol a cynical, Anti-American Hollywood filmmaker sets out on a crusade to abolish the 4th of July holiday. He is visited by three spirits who take him on a hilarious journey in an attempt to show him the true meaning of America."

 

Sounds like a winner.

From Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood:
"As for other newcomers, David Zucker's right-wing spoof An American Carol from Vivendi Entertainment opened decently for this genre of pic at No. 8 with $1.2 million Friday from 1,639 locales for what should be a $3.4 million weekend. By contrast, Bill Maher's left-wing satire Religulous directed by Borat's Larry Charles for Lionsgate opened on Wednesday and is doing far better proportionately at the box office, making $1.1 million Friday despite playing in 1/3 as many venues as American Carol (just 502) for what should be a $3.4M weekend -- good enough for No. 10."
And Kirk Cameron's movie Fireproof is projected to top both of them.

 

Saw it, thought it was pretty funny in places. Over the top, like Airplane, but definitely not a good choice for most board denizens outside the me/hondo/old_tony/Lyman crowd. Chris Farley's brother looks uncannily like Moore.

 

I'll save my money for Religiogious, or however Maher's new movie is spelled.
