Aint science grand?

Mes Amis

Hobbit, hobbit, hobbit (a-la Chas n Dave)... Its been confirmed. Robe wearing, ring-searching oddballs everywhere can rejoice, hobbits are apparently real. And their brains may be just a little like ours. Tomorrow: leprechauns found in pack of Lucky Charms...

Hello, Mr Pipkin?... Watched King of Comedy again last night. What a cringeworthy work of genius. Honestly, you have to ask yourself, am *I* like that? Could I have the capacity to be so self deluded? Its De Niro's finest hour, Jerry Lewis is brilliant and Sandra Bernhard is just loopy. Its unsurprising that it bombed but it is a brilliant film, nonetheless. Just very, very uncomfortable to watch...

That's all for today, mes amis

Au Revoir

It is, like you said, utterly unsurprising that it bombed (just like After Hours which I thought was a fun wee movie). The thing I love most about King Of Comedy though is that Pupkin isn't actually that bad a comedian, just a little derivative and lame. And Jerry Lewis has rarely been better. Well, maybe Funny Bones.
