<![CDATA[Comments from Benny]]> <![CDATA[Comments from Benny]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on The Law of Diminishing Mike Myers Comedy Returns]]> As the man and his reps will actually quite possibl be reading this I want to add my name to the list who have expressed genuine affection for the man. Wayne's World (only the first one) is intimidatingly good. So I Married an Axe Murderer is a memorable and unique little gem, and the first Austin Powers is a great, campy classic.

His greatest enemy up to now has been cash in sequels. With the Love Guru he has seemingly skipped to the third installment in an already unfunny franchise. Get it back on track Mikey. I still love you. Fire the sycophants though - stat.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Bad Math and Short Memories Spin Wacky 'Hulk' Hate-In]]> Sadly typical of the trashy Australian press. Bit of an inferiority complex in that part of the world.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on 'A Night At The Museum Without My Herb,' By Chevy Chase]]> @mr.Man: I have no explanation for Larry the Cable Guy.

But the others I'll take on.

Steve Martin and Bill Murray: Bill Murray was a hasbeen for nearly a decade. Both have earned their later day cred through drama work.

Robin Williams: Film career is in the crapper.

Chris Rock: Too young for eligibility.

Jerry Seinfeld's: Left on own terms and avoided the curse.

Larry David: Became successful only as a centenarian. Not eligible.

SNL: Not a comedian.

Whoopi Goldberg: Total hasbeen.

Phil Hartman and Chris Farley: Dead.

Will Ferrell: Give him time.

Great Britain give theirs Knighthoods.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Dana Carvey Uses Career Hiatus To Add Another 700 Characters To His Repertoire]]> You know Dana Carvey is fifty three years old? How is that possible?

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Shia LaBeouf Wishes He Could Take Back All The Gay Slurs He Dropped During Homoerotic Roughhousing]]> @Seth: Yeah, but the point is precisely that we haven't. It's context that gives words meaning. In that context it's terrible because it is intended to degrade, humiliate and bully someone for their sexual orientation. In Shia's context it's a kid goofing around with one of his friends. Words don't have intrinsic power. It's how you use them that matters.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Shia LaBeouf Wishes He Could Take Back All The Gay Slurs He Dropped During Homoerotic Roughhousing]]> @SanFranBetsu: I'm so glad you guys are coming out of the woodwork to defend this guy. I said something similar in the comments for the original story and got called a faggot MYSELF! ...For shame!

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Molly McAleer In Sex Tape Shocker]]> @kookla: This round, and the war Kookla.

@aspiringexpatriate: I'm all for it. I'm not sure what I think of these various other spinoff rollings though. None can compare with the original.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Hey Angelina, I Know That You Still Want This Rockin' Bod!]]> I lost me to ill advised plastic surgery.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Molly McAleer In Sex Tape Shocker]]> @kookla: I like the second one better. ...It's more understated.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Shia LaBeouf Wishes He Could Take Back All The Gay Slurs He Dropped During Homoerotic Roughhousing]]> @CourageousCoward: While I agree that getting upset about this is retarded (am I allowed to use that word? I don't know...), there is a difference between what a person 'should be able' to do and what it is actually right to do. Freedom of expression is not so much a moral license as it is a prohibition against enforcing majority values and controlling individuals. It's intended to give people the freedom to do the wrong thing.

Sorry to nitpick, but as a one time moral philosophy major I get bent out of shape by the misappropriation of rights theory.

I suck, I know.

I must have been especially bored/lonely that night, because I seem to recall having watched the whole thing.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on We Stand Firmly Opposed To The Re-Election Of Mayor 'Goldie' Wilson]]> @Mswhiskers: Hey, man no problem. More power to you guys. If there's one thing I can't frickin stand it's bullies. And though I'll never know why, the film industry is stocked full of em. While I got into this game because of a childhood love and awe for the medium itself, I guess there's a lot of people who are here only because they have a grandly unrealistic perception of themselves and their relationship to the world around them

One day when I'm the one calling the shots (in about a hundred years) I plan to get seriously Schindler's List about this issue. My sets will look and feel like film sets, but in reality they will be havens for anyone who has ever been fired/otherwise harassed for looking at someone the wrong way or asking if they can stand under the shady spot when an actor is there.

Then, oh yes then, the bullies will become the bullied.

That was meant to read 'Wrong? Of course, but unsurprising.'

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Extra Thrown Off 'Transformers 2' Set 'Never Liked Michael Bay's Dumbass Shit Anyway']]> @Mswhiskers: The extra dynamic is messed up. You guys get treated like shit and I don't know how you do it. I have had fearful extras on set apologize for eating before me, and I'm a frickin chump.

This dude has serious balls. Good for him. He gets more notoriety out of this story than by being fat dude with burger, or whatever.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on New Video Hints Mike Myers Less Than Two Weeks From Claiming America's Anti-Comedy Crown]]> Am I being anal retentive by saying that the worst moment in that clip was right at the end, wherein Myers defeats the whole point of having a Bollywood routine by kissing the damn girl?

Can this really be the guy who brought us Wayne's World? How can someone have it in such quantities and then lose it so spectacularly?

Anyone? ...Weezer? Spielberg?

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Ryan Phillippe Reclaims Manhood, Poses For Revenge Photo With Reese Witherspoon's Arch Enemy]]> Of course international failure will almost guarantee she spends the rest of her career working on films in my native Australia, where they never quite know when to let it go (Seriously, Bryan F'ing Brown is still in, like, everything) so... I suppose I should just get used to her and hope she cuts the shit. * Shudder *

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Ryan Phillippe Reclaims Manhood, Poses For Revenge Photo With Reese Witherspoon's Arch Enemy]]> This may seem needlessly harsh, but Abbie Cornish is one of my least favourite people to watch both in movies and interviews. She bugs the shit out of me. I can't decide in which context she comes off as more self conscious or pretentious, but suffice to say it's pretty close to a tie. One of those people who masks the dullness of their observations behind the affected mannerisms of the genuinely intelligent. A real nouveaux bourgeois fuckface. If this ill advised home wrecking publicity error of hers sabotages her international career before it's started, I feel we audiences of the world my have been spared many years of cringing at her expense.

Thanks Abbie. Oh... Nothing personal.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Clint Eastwood Would Like Spike Lee To Shut His Face Right About Now]]> Agree that Spike should shut his face, but plenty of historical inaccuracy in Flags. That film had some crappy advisers on set man. They got so much wrong, even up to the point that Ryan Philippe's character, the one the whole movie is about NOT having been at the first flag raising, was AT THE FIRT FLAG RAISING, though that's a recent discovery that coincided with production having commenced, but when it's that major a part of the story you gotta correct it.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on '80s-Cinema Dance Purist Fails To Impress 'So You Think' Judges]]> His first mistake was wearing jeans. I chafed just watching him.

Also, the Chip Douglas vibe probably didn't help.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on We Stand Firmly Opposed To The Re-Election Of Mayor 'Goldie' Wilson]]> Bullshit.

Reelect Mayor Goldie Wilson.

Time was, people would have said, 'A colored mayor? That'll be the day!'

Well not anymore and Goldie has played a big part in that. ...And when Obama parks that steam powered, time travelling train of his on the white house lawn in a few months, Goldie will have played a part in that too. Progress is his middle name.

That's right... he's gonna be mayor. I like the sound of that!

Save the clocktower!

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Stifler Latest 'American Pie' Star Relegated To The Dustbin Of History]]> Nah, Sean William Scott is okay with me. Seems like a sorta cool guy. And even though I didn't see Mr Woodcock, I like to think that somewhere, somebody did. I say give this guy more movies.

As for my all time # 1 high school crush, Miss Aly Hannigan Denisof? That Date Movie thing takes some of the shine off her resume. ...I still hope she gets divorced of course.

PS. Chris Klein will always have 'Election'. Don't forget that.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Things Universal Lost In The Fire]]> I'm thinking more his contempt for sets and need to debase the memory of classic film franchises.

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Things Universal Lost In The Fire]]> So... we're all pretty much in agreement that this is somehow the work of George Lucas, right?

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Comeback Kid John Cusack Wants A Word With Defamer]]> Hi John. So I guess you're reading these? May I just say my good man, excellent work in The Road to Welville. ...I don't think you hear that enough.

Also, I liked this interview far better than the one you did with Diablo Cody. It had less... what's the word? Diablo Cody.

Here's to your movie!

]]> <![CDATA[Benny commented on Divorce Filing Contains All The Stuff You'd Rather Not Know About Bill Murray]]> Oooooookay. I was writing out a comment then my computer freaked out on me. I'm worried it's just gonna pop up momentarily in which case there'll be double up and I'll look stupid. But whatever.

I'm kind of late to this Bill Murray thing. But I wanna say this: Bill Murray is kind of a hero of mine. But by all accounts he's a totally self destructive sonofabitch. He's a foul tempered, manic depressive who takes full responsibility for the failure of his previous marriage. He's also from what I understand very aware of his own failings, and has a good heart deep down. He's a troubled guy with a lot of problems, and it makes me very sad to hear about this latest development.

As for the rest of you guys...

@WGARefugee: You are crazy. Bill Murray not funny? ...We would never hang out.

@kityglitr: Seriously? Not a drug cos it's a plant? ...Go back to your bong hippie. Is heroin not a drug because it's made from poppy seeds? And yeah, pot addiction. There's a lot more to addiction than chemical dependency. Especially if you have a history of emotional problems.

@RaptorAvatar: Maybe she was attempting to save her marriage. Or to not involve the press. Dude, as far as I'm concerned false claims about domestic abuse are as bad as abuse itself, but you have no way of knowing whether she's telling the truth or not. I get weirded out when people call bullshit on this stuff without evidence. Imagine what that would be like to deal with if you were a victim.
