Huh. I coulda sworn I saw a promo poster saying that Tim Russ was going to be involved as well. I thought that was a bit surprising as he only had only had one, admittedly iconic, line in the first film, but he's a phenomenal working actor and I'm always happy to see he's still working. He had said at a con in New Jersey earlier this month that he hadn't heard from his agent about it yet, though, so maybe he's not involved after all.
All Tim Russ has to do is turn up and say "We STILL ain't found shit!" and it'll be worth it. In fact, I don't think anything else would work.
Make it the post credit stinger if it doesn't fit anywhere else
Pan the camera across acres and acres of combed desert, only to arrive at a dirty and haggard pair of black Space Balls with the worn out nub of a giant fro pick. "We STILL ain't found shit!"
Is there any chance this will be good? I mean, I want it to be good, I just can't get over the bad taste in my mouth from History Of The World, Part II.
If they don’t subtitle it :The Quest For More Money, I’m not seeing it.
They made a part 2!!?
It wasn't good?...
An 8 part series on Hulu in 2023. I couldn't make it through more than 2 episodes. The critical reception makes no sense to me as it's got a 75% on rotten tomatoes. Maybe it's just me, but Nick Kroll is no Mel Brooks.
I'll maybe check it out, but it doesn't sound particularly appealing.
It was an 8-episode miniseries instead of a movie. Basically, a series of sketch comedies in every episode. It wasn't great.
That's a shame.
Don't listen to jaaake, while we can agree that Kroll is no Brooks, Brooks was also heavily involved and though it has been a few years since I've seen it, I do remember liking it.
As long as you are expecting it to lean heavily on nostalgia and references to the first movie, you probably won't be disappointed. Happy Gilmore 2 literally had clips from the first inserted into it just to fucking remind people of what scenes they were referencing, but other than that it was actually decent and stood on its own except for the VERY heavy handed graveyard scene, but that was tongue in cheek so I let it go.
dark helmet better go looking for mr coffee and mistake it for a different machine.
This was what I was waiting for. It's happening!!!!
🥲
Ugh, I want him to star in that cartoon that got pitched to adult swim about Rick Moranis being "in retirement" because he's The Gatekeeper... to HELL
