How about *this* Carol as an alternative?

Ok, so I’m really late to the party, BUT

‘What did you do in the war Daddy?’

I wonder what Kelsey Grammer’s character, General George S. Patton, would say about that?

There’s one great thing you men can say when it’s all over and you’re home once more. You can thank God that twenty years from now, when you’re sitting around the fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the war, you won’t have to shift him to the other knee, cough, and say, “I shoveled shit in Louisiana.”

Uhm–oh.

I’d like to point out that David Zucker also did The Kentucky Fried Movie and Top Secret. I don’t think anything will ever tarnish my opinion of him after those.

Though this film might come close.

Bill O’Reilly may be an asshole, but he’s our asshole. And like most people, even gay French intellectual commie Jean freakin’ Genet, we are in love with the smell of our own farts. So there you are.

The thing that really puts this movie over the top for me is Bill O’Reilly as himself. It’s one thing to attack liberals but to present O’Reilly as some sort of admirable patriotic figure? Even conservatives should be able to acknowledge that he’s a total asshole.

Sad(ly) to say, I think making fun of this movie will play into the hands of the wingnuts. Think about it, if the wingnut followers already know that they are going to be made fun of for their beliefs and yet still have them (as in the religious). They clamp down and believe it all the more.

I don’t want to be a concern troll, because personally I would love to see a MST3K version of this. But I just wanted to make the point that it wasn’t going to change anyone’s mind.

The rest of us aren’t Frenchifying ourselves with your expensive Spanish ham and fancy bottled wine.

That’s right, we should be eating Jimmy Dean’s sausage and drinking box-o-wine like Ann Althouse.

“Is that an actual line from Showgirls? Did you memorize it?”

Yes it is, and I checked IMDB to refresh my memory on the actual quote.

I can take one of four pledges, such as “Yes, I will send the trailer to my contacts”…

I’ve never been to a pre-screening of anything. Is this loyalty-oath approach to publicity common?

I, for one can’t wait for the “American Carol” dvd release. The endless hilarity that will be had by re-dubbing Robert Davi’s terrorist leader with his lines from “Showgirls.”

General Patton: “We have you now Aziz. Prepare to meet the forces of American righteousness”

Robert Davi as Aziz: “It must be weird, not having anybody cum on you.”

Teh Awesome, indeed.

GokartMotzart, thanks for the link and the history on the fire in a theatre thing. I will gladly kick someone in the balls if they try to misuse that phrase in front of me; thanks for the permission/knowledge!

Maybe they can re-do Animal House where the douchebags from Omega House are the heroes. And Greg Marmalard still can’t get it up, but that’s ’cause of Jesus. Or something.

Note that it is always perfectly acceptable to yell “Fire” in a crowded theater if, in fact, the theater is on fire.

Heh, Kelsey Grammer will manage to make Patton look effete… that’ll probably get older wingnuts’ grampers all bunched up!

Patton actually had a rather high, squeaky voice, which was why he tended to use so much profanity to overcompensate. He didn’t sound anything like George C. Scott.
