For Your Consideration Trailer For Your Consideration

Christopher Guest, director of Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, has gathered his usual troops together for another largely improvised outing, this time ditching the mockumentary format, in For Your Consideration. Watch the trailer and you'll be thankful that Guest keeps choosing the same amazing cast (plus adding some, like Ricky Gervais) that keep delivering the laughs.

The Inspector

I remember loving these as a kid... and still do, great cartoons, please watch them, before CN or MGM take them off YouTube.



The Inspector - Canadian Can-Can


The Inspector - Le Quiet Squad


The Inspector - London Derriere

The Ant and the Aardvark

I haven't seen these in 20 years so I only noticed the Rodney Dangerfield impression now for his character, Aardvark is practically a stand-up comedian through these shorts.

Special K

John K. gave a talk this eveneing at King's College, revisitng 30s and 40s classic cartoons by Fleicher, Avery, and Clampett. It's always great to see these oldies on the big screen, John talked about their varying styles and techniques. Here's one of my favorite John K. shorts from Season two of Ren & Stimpy.

Matt Damon Playing Captain Kirk?

Following rumors that his cohort, Ben Affleck, was up for the role, Matt Damon is now said to be sought for the role of the young Star Trek captain James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams' possible prequel to the franchise:

Apparently J.J. ABRAMS is very interested in casting the Oscar-winning Damon as a young Captain Kirk in the upcoming 'Star Trek' movie that he's directing and producing. He's so interested that he's apparently already sought support from the original Kirk and Shattner has given Abrams his blessing.
If this is true, they might as well just go ahead and cast Affleck as Spock and make the whole thing Good Will Hunting at the Starfleet Academy. Instead of reciting his classic "how do you like them apples" zing, young Kirk could update it for the 23rd century. Like, "How do you like them tribbles?" or whatever the equivalent of apples would be for them. Space apples?
