I'm going to assume that a few of you did not see Mike's column in the first issue of the new Cracked where he wrote of "five awful comedies you need to avoid." So don't look for any Rifftraxs on Junior, The Master of Disguise, Little Nicky, It's Pat: The Movie, or Chairman of the Board.
I'm probably in the minority here, but I liked
Little Nicky. It wasn't a masterpiece, it didn't change my life, it's probably not going to be well-remembered for generations to come, but it was funny. And apparently Quentin Tarantino thought so, too, as he agreed to play a small role in it. I think that the
Mr. Deeds remake or
Eight Crazy Nights would have made better choices for Mike's "avoid" list. I couldn't stand either of those.
Wow, I hope he wasn't being serious about the quality of those movies. I wouldn't want to think that Mike was a pretentious jackass in real life.
What's pretentious about mocking pretentiousness?
But none of the films Mike is mocking are pretentious. And they're all very good.
Give me John Carpenter over Stanley Kubrick any day.
The Shining is a better horror film than
Halloween.
