"You wanna end up like Retardo Montelban here?"

Weirdsville was pretty comedic, but I think this week has made me reevaluate what I consider a comedy. I think Some Like It Hot was really the only actual comedy we have watched. This movie is pretty funny and employs one of those "what more can happen to these losers" type stories. I have always liked Scott Speedman, so he was enjoyable for me, and midgets in medieval costumes kicking ass are always fun. Not much else to say about it - it wasn't exactly predictable, but at times I just felt like the weirdness was tossed in for the sake of being weird. Although the visual of [spoiler] Max Headroom getting a huge icicle lodged into the top of his head was pretty awesome [/spoiler], I was mostly kind of bored. Brandon, on the other hand, said he really enjoyed it. He thought the tone was completely strange - like, how are we supposed to care about a bunch of junkie thieves - but he kind of liked the fact that it worked counter to the usual expectations of sympathetic heroes.
