    I lost it when he was at the bar and did the Dracula songs, especially when he started singing like Dracula. I loved the movie.

    I think the best part of the movie was probably in production.
    Right before the break up he does a little shake and you can hear his wang slapping back and forth.
    I just can hear the audio guys, okay, the natural sound wasn't good enough so we need to add in the sound of a wang slapping back and forth. So what do we use?

    Not related to this movie, but can anyone shed light on the Hollywood trend for present-tense movie titles?? Such as:

    Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
    Saving Sliverman
    Kissing Jessica Parker (whatever)
    Being John Malkovich
    Raising Arizona...

    You get the drift. What's the deal?

    Not sure how recent your trend is. Some pretty old movies on that list.

    Just goes to show an age gap. I think Casablanca is an old movie. Apparently you think Raising Arizona is an old movie.

    It's 21 years old (I think). I don't think it's old. Just saying that the concept of naming movies in the present tense isn't a trend. It's not routine either. But not uncommon. That is all.

    It's a Wonderful Life
    Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
    Some Like It Hot
    I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang
    Mr. Deeds Goes to Town
    A Star Is Born
    Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing

    Maybe there was lull the past few decades, but I would say these older films show that this verb tense is not new to Hollywood.

    Didn't expect much on the way into this flick, but I really enjoyed it.

    The part where the main character, his name escapes me, was singing Dracula tunes in the bar was so awkwardly-hilarious.

    If anything is as funny in FSM as the above scene, it's a decent movie. If I can laugh that hard once during a movie, I am happy.

    You know, the classroom is a great place to do your illustrations.

    And I have posted it here before, but I am geeked for this flick as well. I love that damn song as well.
