What the fuck? I'm glad I didn't Wikipedia that before the movie. I'm even more grossed out now.

I either had no idea or forgot (about the marriage). Or did you not know she was Tommy Chong's daughter?

We need to do The Experts.

I knew the latter, not the former.

Do we need to start a petition to get this movie removed from the face of the earth?

He looks GRAY in this scene.

Should do Gotti too but that movie but need a year or two to percolate. It's delightfully horrible though.

Maybe they were changing his colors with his moods?

I told you! The movie *could* have worked if you made the main character kind of sensitive and neurotic, which Gross could have done.

Really, they should have flipped the casting with him and Howell.

This movie never earned the right to do The Apartment-type farce shit.

Face masks keep disease from spreading in 1985. How did it not last through 2020?

The 2018 John Travolta vehicle. It's so good (bad).

The Beach Boys tipping her off that he might not be black was actually cliever.

"Holy chowder", indeed.

I feel ill, but there is no way it's the 2 2/3 beers I've had.

It got 0 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. 0 percent!

The close up shots there just made me realize that C. Thomas Howell got cast in this in some way because he has brown eyes and it's definitely not the 2 2/3 beers I've had that make me want to throw up.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Thu Feb 18, 2021 10:14 pm

Now a part of me is black on the inside.

No, no way.

1. Giff laughed again at the basketball scene.

2. I apparently picked a good pause point.

There WILL NOT be a third thing.

Why the fuck is he holding a basketball?

He's holding it on the outside.

and that's why he only like the beach Boys 'funkier' stuff now

These opening remarks are driving this thing off a cliff.

I hope James Earl Jones got paid enough to add a wing to his home at least.

Good thing the apartment scene slowed it down to a crawl first.

Are we at the racist peak yet? Or was it the 'I'm black on the inside' monologue?

I grew up thinking people in grades in college would have a lot more suspense surrounding them.
