The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.
You'd be gray haired too.
The Jerk is one of my favourite movies, but it's surprisingly rare for me to find someone else who knows it exists.
My greatest comedies of all time:
Airplane
Naked Gun
Blazing Saddles
The Jerk
Any of those 4, and you will cry laughing.
You would also likely enjoy "Top Secret!"
It's number 5 lol. I miss Val Kilmer. What happened to him is a damn shame. Life can really be a fucker sometimes.
Christian Science is a fucker always.
Although it's made tremendous contributions to the arts by killing musicians' moms.
Other than James Hetfield noone springs to mind in the category "Musicians' moms killed by Christian science". Who else were you referring to?
They got three songs out of Maynard James Keenan alone.
Thanks. I did not know that, but after reading into it 10000 days now feels a lot more personal.
It also lends gravitas to the otherwise ooh-so-edgy "Judith" by A Perfect Circle.
I need to re-read the lyrics to that song, it's one of my favorites by APC.
You ever been to a Turkish prison?
You like movies about gladiators?
As someone who also loves that one and considered Airplane the best comedy, I concur. I'll also add both Hot Shots movies to that.
we should start a new thread for all time comedies.. what about Real Genius? Brain Candy? Better off Dead? Caddyshack? Something about Mary?
I want my two dollaaaaaaaaars.
Sorry your mom blew up, Ricky.
What's a little boy like you doing with big boy smut like this?
The only one of those I still haven't seen is Blazing Saddles and I really need to rectify that.
Weekend at Bernie's is at the top of my list.
Isn't anyone gonna help this poor man?
Yes, you do. Comedic masterpiece.
Dude. Now... As ASAP as possible. And when you're done, watch it 5 more times.
Fun fact: first movie to ever feature a fart.
Ten years ago I would've added Idiocracy. 7 years ago it became a documentary.
He started graying mid '70s 🤷
Looks damn good in this picture for his mid 70s
He's 78 now lol
You don't like jokes much, do you.
Oh, no, I walk right past all the low hanging fruit and keep on walkin'
A Target of assassination? That nut-job hated those cans!
He was also a philanthropist and donated a ton of money to stop cat juggling in South America.
Sounds like a typical bastard.
You just randomly picking on people? It's not like you can flip through phone books anymore...
That's why things aren't happening for people now. We don't have the spontaneous publicity of our names in print anymore.
I used to be someone.
He also found his special purpose!
He should see a doctor and get rid of it
