Man, i just absolutely adore The Marx Bros. Their zany, chaotic, comedic anarchy is just right up my alley. Their most famous film, i believe, is Duck Soup. However Animal Crackers is my personal favorite.

Groucho stars as Captain Spaulding, the African explorer, returning from the jungle and finding himself invited to a party that includes an art unveiling. After Harpo and Chicko arrive, in grand comedic manner, we find the art piece has been stolen and must be found.

The film is based on the original musical also starring the brothers. It's directed and presented in true theatrical style. Almost as if we're watching a recording of the Broadway production. But that doesn't stop the laughs from rolling in. It truly is a laugh out loud romp that stands the 96 year test of time.

I literally bought this just to make this post. Turns out the wine is pretty good!

If you can catch Al's tour, do yourself a favor and go see it. Tons of fun!

Brad!

Shit! I need to read faster

Just caught this masterpiece in theaters for the 35th anniversary. Wasn't able to catch the original release, slightly too young. But I'm so glad i was able to see this the way it was meant to be seen.

For the first time, i actually felt like this was more of a sci-fi/thriller than sci-fi/action. Of course there's a ton of great action in it, but the tension that's built throughout was keeping me on edge.

And the effects really do hold up. A couple of seams in a couple of frames but by far it still feels genuine.

Just a great experience to finally have in theaters

Actors who win their first Oscar for supporting and then next for lead. Also Denzel, Blanchett, Spacey, etc as well.

Was Zellweger the last to do it?

They also laughed when i asked why there wasn't toilet paper in the bathroom

Are these the only two Weird Al references in the show? Both being about Jenna

Nothing beats a free dog

It's been years since I've seen this and I'm so happy it still holds up. Definitely has some humor specific to the time, but overall it's still pretty relevant and clever. Has a great performance by Witherspoon and she's got a very solid supporting cast around her.

These types of movies pushed past the traditional "chick flick" definition. Felt more about empowerment and pushing barriers and challenging expectations. Plus it's a nice little time capsule of the turn of the millennium

I honestly thought she was just putting a food and a name together at random

I'm trying to think of, without just googling the answer, who has the widest ranges of unique nominations and wins.

I'm not including reworded versions of the same award (i.e. Best Adapted Screenplay to Screenplay Based on Material Previously Produced or Published. Or the various names of the Live Action Short Film awards that would give it to Walt Disney). However, since there were temporarily three simultaneous separate writing categories, i did include Billy Wilder as a winner of 4 unique categories.

Kenneth Branagh, i believe, has the most unique nominations. Picture, Director, Original and Adapted Screenplays, Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, and Live Action Short Film (7)

Sean Baker, i believe, ties with the most unique wins. Picture, Director, Original Screenplay, Editing.

The Coen Brothers are tied with Picture, Director, Original and Adapted Screenplays

Billy Wilder is tied with Picture, Director, Original Screenplay and Best Writing

Who am i missing?

Edit: I don't know why it rearranged the order of the pictures

Edit 2: FatherOfFunko has revealed Alfonso Cuaron ties with unique nominations, with a solid argument to take the crown
