I may know medicine well but philospophy is not my thing. I tune right out. <BR/>I disagree with both of you about Ben Stiller. You may not like him as an actor,but he wrote or cowrote most of the movies mentioned so kudos to that. <BR/><BR/>I agree that will ferrell needs a hit soon. he does play the same type of character in all movies now.

Just saw 40 year old virgin the other night for the second time and it's even funnier. I still disagree with you about Will Ferrell.....see my comment in your earlier post. His shtick is getting a little old though. <BR/><BR/>To Aaron: I know you've never liked Ben Stiller (I think he's moderately funny, but has been exceptionally funny movies, which is no credit to him necessarily), but I can't believe you called Vince Vaughn an no-talent-ass-clown. I thought he played well in the following movies: Swingers, Clay Pigeons, Made, The Cell, Old School, Anchorman, Wedding Crashers, Thumbsucker, and especially Psycho. Now, granted, he does tend to play similar characters in most of these movies with the exception of Psycho, Thumbsucker, and Clay Pigeons. So, I can see how you could call him no-talent based on the fact that he hasn't shown a lot of range. However, one of the actors you listed as good (Owen Wilson) falls into the same category by mostly playing the goofball in his movies. See the following: You, Me and Dupree, Wedding Crashers, Starsky and Hutch, The Big Bounce, Armageddon, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Zoolander. The only movie that I saw him in that he wasn't a goofball was The Life Aquatic. Not that I'm saying Owen Wilson is a bad actor, I just think he could very easily be put in the same category as Vince Vaughn. <BR/><BR/>I think A Scanner Darkly is cool because it's trying something that hasn't been done before by using that style of animation. I won't judge it solely on that though....it's got to have a kick ass plot. It's already got two bad marks against before I've even seen it. Those would be.....Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder (can't stand either one of them). Balancing them out is Robert Downy Jr. and Woody Harrelson. Robert Downy Jr. was pretty good in a recent movie I saw called Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Woody Harrelson was in a good movie recently as well....The Prairie Home Companion, which I highly recommend. <BR/><BR/>To This and That: right on with Zoolander! That movie kills me. My favorite part is either the walk-off or when Mugatu hypnotizes Zoolander. I never get tired of that movie. <BR/><BR/>Lastly, I'm with Jade.....Mutha fuckin' snakes on a mutha fuckin' plane! And drink Samuel L. Jackson beer...it'll get you drunk! You might even fight a nigga or two! I'm sure that movie is going to be horrible and I can't wait to see it. I think I'll wait till video though. I leave you with a favorite quote that keeps getting stuck in my head....I wanted to work it into the post, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere. "Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but it's sterile and I like the taste.
