The Vice magazine thread has reminded me of Zoolander. There are no threads about this movie! It is so great though, better than most of the movies we have threads for. Frankie say relax. The scene where they have a "gasoline fight" is possibly the funniest thing ever. David Bowie!!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It´s funny because it´s Diesel!

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the Cypress Hill joke. I actually laughed out loud, and I don't do that.

― adaml (adaml), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually the best part of the movie is when Billy Zane shows up for no reason, just to like get Derek's back, wtf? It's like, it's time for a fight! Oh, look, Billy Zane for no reason, who says pretty much nothing and just stands there, being Billy Zane. I think it was at that exact moment in time I realized that Ben Stiller was actually some kind of genius and not the obnoxious monsterbeasthumorcabra that I previously thought he was. I mean, I wouldn't have even thought of Billy Zane!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

funniest movie I've seen in the last year (saw it on satellite)

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Angela Cotter to thread!

The fact that David Bowie gets his own title is still a thing of great wonder to me. The movie is one of those things that doesn't always work, but at least it's trying something in every scene. The deleted scenes in the DVD are great, including the one where Derek goes through smaller and smaller guest areas until he gets to the one that can only fit two people.

"Yeah, maybe you should listen to your friend, Billy Zane".

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I honestly did leak a little bit of piss during the gasoline fight. And this movie is my favorite thing Owen Wilson has or ever will have done. Plus MILLA!!!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I need to see this again, but yeah, my favorite part that I always quote is: "Why you messin' with me, ese? Don't you know I'm loco?"

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Ive seen this at the library but havent taken it out yet.
Wait Mila is in this???
…runs to library..

"Yes, joo will rent zis film tonight."

― Milla Jovovich (nickalicious), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Brilliant.

But Flirting With Disaster is still the funniest thing Ben Stiller's been in. "You're not B&B people!!!!!"

― Skottie, Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought I hated Ben Stiller, and this movie proved me wrong. Not just because of the Bowie scene, although that was pretty brilliant. Andrew is OTM about the deleted scenes -- I can see why that one was cut, because it takes awhile for the joke to play out and there's no real pay off per se ... but it's funny.

"Maybe you should listen to your friend Billy Zane" should've been the catchphrase of the year. I'd buy that T-shirt.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

The David Bowie titling is a stroke of genius as well. "I'll handle this!" (cue freeze frame and zooming title "DAVID BOWIE")

I previously thought that best random celebrity scene was the one in Being John Malkovich where they're interviewing Catherine Keener at a movie premeire about Craig/Malkovich's puppetry and then suddenly the digicam pans right and there's Brad Pitt, looking extraordinarily freaked out, like they didn't actually tell him what was going on prior to filming the scene. But the David Bowie/Billy Zane fight scene fucking trumps all. "Maybe you should listen to your friend Billy Zane" like actually justifies the entire existance of Billy Zane.

What is also great about this movie is that, despite the fact that I find Owen Wilson attractive, there is no way in hell either of these men would ever become male models.

Also the name Hansel!!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait! I'm wrong about this justification of Billy Zane cos I forgot he was in Memphis Belle which is pretty good though no Zoolander.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:45 (twenty-two years ago)

By the way, in that BJM footage, Brad Pitt didn't know what was going on - Spike Jonz, Keener, and Malkovich crashed something like the Oscars and did some guerrilla filming on the red carpet.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, in a way -- and this could be the NyQuil talking -- casting Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson as the world's biggest male models (bigger than any male models I can think of in the real world) is the most brilliant thing in the movie. It's not over the top ridiculous like if they'd cast Martin Landau and Geoffrey Rush, but it's definitely ... off.

Best thing about "maybe you should listen to your friend Billy Zane" - the implication that Billy Zane is somehow the anti-Madonna, i.e. instead of being the kind of celebrity who only needs one name (Madonna, Britney, Christina, Cher, Jesus), he ALWAYS has TWO names. Like people only ever call him Billy Zane. No one ever calls him Billy. Ever. Only Billy Zane.

That's genius.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I also think that Bowfinger is very funny and underdiscussed on ILX, but perhaps that is for another thread.

― adaml (adaml), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

He looks so sad back there.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Also the hypnosis scene is actually one of the freakiest things I've ever seen on the silver screen.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

He's sad because his friend didn't listen to him.

Bowfinger was also better than I expected it to be, although not as good as Zoolander -- I rented them both at about the same time, though. It made me wish Eddie Murphy still made movies for grown-ups.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Mugatu's speech towards the end is great too, the phrase "I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS!!!" has entered my every day vocabulary. "They're all the same face! Don't you people realize this?! I feel like I"m taking CRAZY PILLS!"

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 18:41 (twenty-two years ago)

i watched this movie like 29 times in a row when i fell passed out in a living room at this party and the people were stealing cable. so there was like a zoolander payper view channel on where they just keep looping the movie and i dint know how to change the channel. so from like 4am -2pm when i finally left i kept seein it. its kind of slow at parts and the scene where ben stiller is a merman is totoally unecessary.

― chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, yeah, watch it 30 times in a row and it becomes much easier to pick apart flaws.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i only have 2 complaints!

― chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 18:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to see this again. (Hey, Nick, maybe tonight?)
I need more humor in my life.
I can't read the name Owen Wilson without thinking of his character in Meet the Parents. He was the best thing about that movie.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 18:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Part of what makes the merman scene so great is because it is so ridiculous and unnecessary!

― Nicolars (Nicole), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Plus any chance anyone ever gets to use the word "merman" in conversation is obviously classic.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Booyah - we're watching Zoolander tonite.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

how does that line go? 'moisture is the essence of water?'

― (Jon L), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Our new roommate has it on dvd, so Zoolander is at our fingertips. No one has brought up the gratuitous Winona and Hilton sister cameos.

Jitterbug!

― Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I think they got Billy Zane because Richard Grieco was unavailable.

― Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Moisture is the essence of water!!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I can Derelicte my own balls!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

We had a Zoolander-style Beat It danceoff at my last birthday party (which I lost pitifully, incidentally). The really sad thing was that I deliberately stuffed an extra pair of pants into my jeans for the event. At least four people in the room got the joke.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I seriously challenge all of you to breakdance-fighting. I am not kidding.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 1 October 2003 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, if we just get David Bowie to come to Lit next time Gareth's about we're set!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

You forgot about Billy Zane! No breakdance-fight is complete without him.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 21:02 (twenty-two years ago)

does anyone else think Ben Stiller is the least funny thing about this movie?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Billy Zane is the most important part about it, next to David Bowie.

Haha slutsky I think this entire thread basically answers your question, he's definitely the least funny thing about the film. The problem though is that he wrote it so it's like making him metafunny.

I'm off to go buy this movie right now.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 21:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I love this film except for two thing: Milla Jovanovich is simply not funny and the film should end with Zoolander kissing the journalist. The Where Are They Now coda is ass.

This might have been my favorite movie of that year. I only saw 5 though. And the only one of recent years I've seen more than once.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

some fave moments:

1) Billy Zane staring at Zoolander's finger
2) The non-verbal stand-off between Mugatu and assistant re: foamy latte
3) Mugatu: "But now the forbidden fruit must be tasted!"
4) Hansel: "I don't like Sting's music, but I really respect him."
5) Zoolander "shovelling shit" during the film on Hansel.
6) "I'm sorry I was wack." "No, dude, I was wack."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

the funniest part of the movie I can remember was in that Hansel promotional video where he says something like, "ever since I was kid I wondered about the world, like what the bark on the trees is made of"

or something, it was funnier than that

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

and water... is the essence of wetness

― (Jon L), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh man, I so have to get this movie out again now - I too was a Ben Stiller hata til I saw it, and now I want to see it again. Theres a to-do for tonight then!

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

There needs to be a Fancy A Movie Marathon. Except everyone has to movie to Indiana first. And it can't be at my place, I have a small living room.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 23:31 (twenty-two years ago)

best use of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," "Beat It," and "Relax" in any movie ever.

Tep, I assume you've watched Breaking Away already. I believe Welcome Wagon brings it to your door.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 23:32 (twenty-two years ago)

that was a great typo, tep!

― s1utsky (slutsky), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 23:37 (twenty-two years ago)

my favorite part of the film (warning: i thought it was okay... enjoyed about 3-4 scenes, was bored by the rest) was the whole MTV-award-show-announcer-cue-DJ-scratching entrance of Hansel at various events followed by the less funny but kinda "hansel... he's so hot" by Ferrel's character.

(ps: totally awesome pic of Jason & Mrs. D upthread)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 2 October 2003 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

The more I think back the more I consider society on the whole lucky to have this movie gifted unto it from the heavens. A double bill of this and Pootie Tang would OWN YR FACE.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 2 October 2003 00:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I really loved the Mugatu character - there were some awesome moments in the outtakes: "Serve me up a slice of piping hot Hansel!" and the hypnosis scene (which was co-written by one of the Simpsons creators, and it shows) "Hi! I'm little Cletus! I'm just a regular kid!"

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 2 October 2003 00:53 (twenty-two years ago)

And David Duchovny's character was so totally bizarre.

― Andrew (enneff), Thursday, 2 October 2003 00:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I think a double bill of Zoolander and Pootie Tang would be the real life equivalent of that Monty Python skit about joke warfare.

"You can READ MINDS?!?!"

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

That line right there was the best payoff of the "Derek is really horrible with words" running joke. I mean, it was funny in a lot of other places, yeah, but "you can READ MINDS?" takes the cake and eats it too.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 00:57 (twenty-two years ago)

top five zoolander bits.
1. lenny kravitz (these aint no slashies)
2. "you think you're too cool for school. Well I've got a newsflash for you walter chroncite(sp?)..................................you aren't"
3. "put a cork in it zane" "its a walk off"
4. "how do you live??????how do you live??????"
5. hansels whole video blurb at the awards.

Yeah, "Put a cork in it, Zane!" is really one of the best film lines EVER.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 01:55 (twenty-two years ago)

...hm. I guess I should finally see this.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Ice T likes it, you should too Ned.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:29 (twenty-two years ago)

:-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Seriously, I mean like no one I emailed a teaser to this story to seems to give a shit as all three of them have totally come to ignore me and not ask what my story was, but anyway, when I went tonight and bought Zoolander I did my normal thing, cos every time I go to Tower I'm stuck behind some moron who wants to talk to me, so I just run up, reading the back of the DVD, pretending to be all up in the grill of the specs of the special edition or whatever, so that people don't talk to me on line, but sure enough this dude I was ignoring goes, "Yeah, that is a good movie!" or something to that effect, and that dude turned out to be Ice T, true story. So Ned, it'll increase your level of fly.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:42 (twenty-two years ago)

That's the best celebrity encounter story ever.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Hurrah! That IS a great story and I will keep this wisdom in mind. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Even if he was lying and he thinks it is crap, you should still see it, Ned. It's got Posh Spice in it!

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:54 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a better story if he's lying, cause that means the sequel to the story is Ice T heading off to his car, sniggering to himself going, "Damn, I got her to think I like Zoolander! Psych!" And then he goes off to a grocery store or something and he's all, "Oh yeah, those peaches? Those are the best damn peaches, right there," and afterwards he's thinking, "Those peaches are in heavy syrup! They're just slimy hunks of sugar, goddamn, I fooled him."

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 02:59 (twenty-two years ago)

God, I really hope that is exactly what Ice T does with his time, actually.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I know, I feel very warmly towards him right now.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Not to change the subject back to the topic at hand, but seriously this is a really good exchange:

Stiller: But...why male models?
Duchovny: Are you serious? I just explained that to you a minute ago.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:06 (twenty-two years ago)

(Its like Ice T is some kind of Dickensian scamp)

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

It's all about the delivery in Duchovny's line there. He was perfect for that role, not just cause of the Mulder thing, but because of the look and the pause when he gives that line.

(I can totally see Ice T as a scamp.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

"if theres one thing this show us, its that male models are a precious, precious commodity, and that they too can die in a freak gasoline accident"

― edddddd, Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

The look on John Wilkes Booth's face when he gets zoomed on after killing Lincoln is pretty priceless too, it's like Stiller musta saw one ad with a dude making that face and it stuck in his head forever, haunting his nightmares.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Just the fact that Booth was in the movie! I forgot about that, even.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:26 (twenty-two years ago)

"oh yeah, well I've never even heard of derlique. Me and my crew have been hanging out at(some exotic place I've forgotten) with spider monkeys, trippin on acid getting a whole new perspective on shit. So I guess you can derilique my balls cap -i -tan."

My bad- I was wack.
But - is necessary to buy DVD. Even the menus are freakin hilarious.

― Enrique (Enrique), Thursday, 2 October 2003 07:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Zoolander is hilarious. I saw it again recently. I prefer Meet the Parents though, that film makes me cry it's so funny.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 October 2003 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Saw both on the same night, both genius - MTP seems kind of half-serious though, but not quite there, like 'Something about Mary' meets... erm... Ingmar Bergman.
Stiller is underrated.

― Enrique (Enrique), Thursday, 2 October 2003 08:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Stiller is a genius! I remember before I saw MTP & I saw a trailor for it & thought 'why on earth is robert de niro doing that film?' then I just happened to switch the tv on & watch MTP & I was literally in tears. That whole dinner scene where he talks about milking the cat is fantastic.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 October 2003 08:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Could you milk me Pinkpanther I’ve got nipples!

― Davel, Thursday, 2 October 2003 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

haha! Not your nipples Dave no! ;-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 October 2003 09:41 (twenty-two years ago)

That reminds me, do you still have our copy?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 October 2003 09:41 (twenty-two years ago)

No, I gave it back more than a year ago! I think I still have your Happy Gilmour though!

― Davel, Thursday, 2 October 2003 09:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah that's what they all say dave!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 October 2003 11:15 (twenty-two years ago)

We watched this last night and I almost died. My favorite line, which is above but I don't give a shit:

"You think you're too cool for school, but here's a news flash, Walter Cronkite...(really long pause)...you're not."

also, I love the male models' exchange about the joke:
"Uh, earth to ___, that was a joke!"
"Uh, earth to ___, I know!"
"Uh, earth to ___, I don't think you did know, because I was all like..."

And then later when Zoolander and Hansel explain the "earth to Matilda" comment because they think she didn't understand.

Ha ha and when Zoolander finally does the Magnum look at the end, Jon Voight's reaction ("That's my boy! That's my son!") and Mugato's reaction ("Dear lord...it's beautiful...") are fantastic.

Part II of the Ice T saga:

Apparently my friend, who you might recall from a previous thread as being called "Tony Danza", also saw Ice T yesterday, while he was on his lunch break (Tony, not Ice T. Though presumably maybe Ice T also has lunch breaks). Anyway, what was Ice T doing at this point in time, you might be asking yourself?

He was getting a manicure/pedicure at Pinky's salon, around the corner from my work.

This is obviously the funniest shit that has ever happened in the history of the world, wtf?

ANYWAY "You're more dead to me than your dead mother."

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe he aspires to the Zoolander lifestyle, it seems like it would involve pedicures.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 2 October 2003 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Not my salon!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 2 October 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, I enjoyed Zoolander. I started some lame thread where I asked people to guess what film I'd rented and the answer was Zoolander. Ben Stiller is like the cerebral Adam Sandler.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 2 October 2003 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I should note that Zoolander is referenced on BOTH of the last two Limp Bizkit albums. Chocolate Starfish even ends with a Ben Stiller in-the-studio cameo (only fair after Fred dedicated one his best songs ever, "Livin' It Up," to Ben earlier on the album). They's tight. We've all seen the photo too.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 2 October 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Too bad Limp Bizkit isn't good like Zoolander.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm waiting for the Stalinist rewriting of history on that photo.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 October 2003 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

According to a track on Results May Very Fred can pull out the magnum like Zoolander. A frightening thought.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Results May Vary! kee-rist.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Thinking about Fred trying to do the Magnum both frightens and nauseates me.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:13 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, all my favoutrite lines have been mentioned except: when journalist says "i used to be overweight in high school" and zoolander says "ewwww!"

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 2 October 2003 19:32 (twenty-two years ago)

That was mentioned, Fritz! But it still bears repeating.

I have the irresistible urge to say all these lines with funny voices without reference to the actual film delivery.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:51 (twenty-two years ago)

That would be brilliant, Ned.

He was getting a manicure/pedicure at Pinky's salon, around the corner from my work.

Now you're just lying to make me cry.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not lying! I mean MAYBE Ralph was but it seems odd to make up--he didn't say it like in response to my story, I told him my story in response to his.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Erm when I said Ralph I meant Tony Danza.

Shit.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Now you're just lying to make me Tony Danza on my shoes.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Now you're just telling bad jokes.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 2 October 2003 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

That one got out of my head before I could really get a look at it, yeah.

I can't decide which of the Ice T stories is weirder now, but I really want to watch Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo.

God, really, this is the greatest thing either Wilson or Stiller have ever been involved in, despite Meet the Parents and Behind Enemy Lines and Bottle Rocket, damn. I'm going to have to watch this again this week, it is possibly the greatest film ever. "Then I realized, I've never been to Mount Vesuvius..."

No, Ned ,it is going to be amazing, I mean OWEN WILSON and BEN STILLER and SNOOP DOGG??? How can you not want to see that immediately? Is Carmen Electra in itt? I might've dreamed that, but I hope she is. Have they ever casted the Dukes of Hazzard movie? Cos I'm electing this same cast for that job too.

― Allyzay, Monday, 19 January 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Snoop Dogg as Boss Hog obviously.

― Allyzay, Monday, 19 January 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

...I suppose? I mean, I still haven't seen Zoolander.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 January 2004 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never seen the original S&H, couldn't give a fuck about the 'retro' angle, but Stiller/Wilson is more interesting than Kidman/Law or even, damnit, Bacall/Bogart, any day.

The way Hansel takes the piss about the whole 'earth to' thing: [weird voice] 'Hello'.

I saw this recently, alright.

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 19 January 2004 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah, Cedric for BH. Snoop can be Enos.

Isn't Amy Smart appearing in that new film with Ashton Kuchner or something? That Somewhere in Time for Staind fans?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 January 2004 17:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, haha we were having a conversation about that, who in the world says "ASHTON KUTCHER TIME TRAVEL CHAOS THEORY!" and then makes a movie on it?

Andrew Farrell in The Fluffer

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 January 2004 17:10 (twenty-one years ago)

The thing about The Butterfly Effect is that it sounds like it would've been a somewhat interesting movie if, you know, it didn't star ASHTON KUTCHER and AMY SMART for fuck's sake. OTOH it's a tired theory anyway, I mean I could just watch the Time Machine again, and that starred GUY PEARCE and SAMANTHA MUMBA so it was much better. "You cannot change history without significantly altering the events subsequent to that which you effect" isn't exactly like a big shocking thing yet unexplored in film.

I kind of wish Bill & Ted explored that a little more, it seems that their exploits would've seriously altered world history! Thusly making their view of the past FALSE because the past is now TOTALLY DIFFERENT and they would've failed the report and Keanu Reeves would've had to have joined the MILITARY and that would've been ~~SO HOT~~bad for Wyld Stallyons!!

― Allyzay, Monday, 19 January 2004 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Why isn't Ally a scriptwriter in Hollywood getting million dollar deals? The world IS unfair.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 January 2004 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, to be fair, I haven't made much of an effort.

― Allyzay, Monday, 19 January 2004 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

In my world, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey would've looked a lot more like Behind Enemy Lines!!! Haha I remember my joke about BEL now, the bad guy seemed like he was just pissed off because he accidentally wandered on set en route to a Guy Ritchie movie. "69, dude!" (blows the shit out of guy in tracksuit) (cue Gene Hackman looking smugly sympathetic)

Think soundtrack to the trailer as well.

Oh god, I wasn't dreaming, I DID see a trailer with the Rock starring in a remake of Walking Tall, didn't I? Will Joe Don Baker have a cameo involving him getting the stuffing beaten out of him?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 January 2004 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

A film starring the Rock and Johnny Knoxville is the best idea ever in the strange and inconceivable dimension where it is still 2000

Now this is true (though I did see it again yesterday).

I think it may be time to stage an intervention.....

Re: The Butterfly Effect, this movie looks like a complete plagarism of The Lathe of Heaven. Is it?

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Monday, 19 January 2004 23:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it may be time to stage an intervention.....

Went with a friend who suffers from a psychological problem (this is no joke, I've seen the effects on her and others who suffer similarly) with the depiction of film violence -- anything particularly realistic and involving cutting or stabbing (ie, most of LOTR's violent action) has the effect of actually witnessing something awful happening for her. So while I certainly didn't mind seeing it again (five times total but the first in three weeks), I mostly went to be her guide for the film and when to tell her not to directly watch the screen and so forth, as she has loved the films and wanted to see them as much as she could given the circumstances. And she also made a cogent observation:

Re: The Butterfly Effect, this movie looks like a complete plagarism of The Lathe of Heaven. Is it?

She said exactly this herself after the trailer finished!

I finally remebered a line that hasn't been mentioned:
They're in the computer?
What about how Mugatu invented the keyboard necktie (or scarf?)
What about the tiny little cell phones?
This movie is incredible.
Ben Stiller is THE comedian of his generation.

― Magic City (ano ano), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Also not mentioned: the way that one evil fashion designer cabal member talks about his "panty line" at the beginning, mostly in pronunciation, slays me for some reason.

Plot Summary for
Heat Vision and Jack (1999) (TV)

This was a pilot for Fox directed by Ben Stiller. It was never even shown on television, not to mention the series was never picked up. The story of a man and his talking motorcycle. 'Jack Black' plays Jack Austin, an ex-astronaut who got too close to the sun and, by the power of the yellow sun, becomes the smartest human being alive. Owen Wilson plays the voice of Heat Vision, the unfortunate combination of Jack Austin's former roommate and his motorcycle. 'Ron Silver' plays Ron Silver, also an ex-astronaut and part-time actor, who's current job it is to take out Jack Austin. An alien name Paragon takes over the body of a chef (played by Vincent Schiavelli) and attempts to kill "all monkey tramps." They all get mixed together by a kindly sheriff (played by 'Christine Taylor' ) and hilarity ensues.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i should see anchorman. it had a real short release here. plus it happened to also coincide with my university finals.

You should make it happen right now! This is a truly sensational film, which had me making sqwauking noises in the cinema and I'M A VERY SERIOUS PERSON.

We just watched this. We'd never seen it before! It is so funny, and so....weird! Best bits = the scene where zoolander's flatmates are splashing each other w/the mops at the service station, and then they start splashing each other w/the petrol pumps(!) Hansel's little bit at the model awards, especially the bit abt sting, and the walk-off. I think we both laughed pretty much all the way through it.

Haha yeah, "Who do I admire...? Well, Sting for one. I don't listen to his music, but the fact that he makes it, I admire that."

Also, the bit where he picks the copy of time magazine w/him on the cover out of the trash, and the headline says "a model idiot", and he reads it as "a model, idiot".

At times it felt like "starsky and hutch" was a kind of remake of this film...

also, "derelicte", ha, shades of "hard times chic"!

Evidentally the bizarre mermaid thing is a reference to an old Aveda ad, so says my friend who used to work at an Aveda salon and had to watch the ad tape all day.

Best digested in 20-minute segments. No Cable Guy, but my fave line remains Jon Voight's "You're deader to me than your dead mother."

(Celebrity cameos, even in a proudly dumb comedy, really reach diminishing returns by the tenth one.)

In the course of finding a picture of Mugatu for comic purposes, I came across the christiananswers.net review of Zoolander. It says the trying-to-take-underpants-off contest is "one long scene of implied masturbation". It was??

how did they find out what i do while watching zoolander!

Guys have you seen the deleted Winona Ryder scenes?

― nickalicious, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 14:43 (eighteen years ago)

No! Is there implied masturbation?

― Alba, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

I think conservative Christians imagine the world to be even more dirty than it really is.

― Nicole, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 15:06 (eighteen years ago)

I think you're right (however, I am wanking as I write this)

― Alba, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

you'd think the orgy sequence would be enough to prove the film's immoral nature.

"I guess what Judd Apatow is to me, is what Terrence Malick is to David Gordon Green. They're just good friends. And David said to me the other day, 'Guess what Terrence Malick's favourite movie of the last 10 years is?'"
What?

Just watched this for the first time. Funny that the first I heard about the movie then was Ebert's post-9/11 one-star review.

― Meg White America (Eazy), Sunday, 22 December 2013 17:28 (twelve years ago)

such a great film

I think people forget that Zoolander was a man in mourning. The only survivor of a freak accident that resulted in the death of his three best friends. Maybe remember that next time you want to scream “What is this a center for ants?” at something you think is abnormally small.

Zoolander is in my all time top 10 fwiw

― flappy bird, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 04:39 (six years ago)

Perfect movie

― flappy bird, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 04:39 (six years ago)

I just remembered the other day that sequels were announced to the beloved comedies Zoolander, Anchorman, and Bad Santa, but I guess they never got made? I mean, people would surely be talking about how great + hilarious those sequels were, otherwise, right?
