"I admit it. I loved Steve Guttenberg when I was a kid. And I’ve been anticipating a respectable comeback from the Police Academy star for almost two decades now. But after watching this video from Funny or Die, I’m finally ready to close the door on any hope I might have had for the guy. The faux commercial for “Guttenberg’s Steak House” is lame and unoriginal, and not only did I not laugh, I don’t even understand what’s supposed to be funny about it. Until now, I kind of believed there was an almost win-win benefit to the viral marketing of oneself. A site like FOD is a perfect venue to showcase whatever talent we’ve been missing from a fallen star who otherwise has been trapped within the confines of the Hollywood system. Someone like Guttenberg, who has been stuck bottom feeding in the lowest o "

"From what I hear, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is really bad. Bad enough for the king of the fanboys, Harry Knowles, to reportedly write, “I hated the film. HATED IT. REALLY HATED IT.” Bad enough that Warner Bros. had the review removed from Aint it Cool News due to a review embargo — though probably it had more to do with it being so damaging to the studio’s marketing of the film (apparently Warners had no issue with Variety publishing its so-so review on the same day). I’m not in the least bit surprised. Most people I know who used to be big Star Wars fans won’t be bothering to see the film. But if it bombs at the box office this weekend, what will t "

"Oh, man. I grew up with these characters. As a child, I even went so far as to attempt to "novelize" the film (ala Bantam) and narrate it with verbatim dialogue from the film itself. Those transcripts have long been lost to the ravages of time, but this pricelessly tasteless film survives. I STILL quote from this film (and some of its sequels) to this day, and who doesn't love the cast assembled here? It's a completely brain-dead comedy, but at least we can emphasize the "comedy" part of that equation with certainty. On this 986th (or so) viewing, I watched it with the 20th Anniversary Cast Commentary, and the actors had me laughing AGAIN! What chemistry that had, and STILL have! I must admit, though, that the whisperings of yet another sequel leave me feeling cold, Even though some of the other films had great moments, THIS is where it all started, and you've got to appreciate it for what it is - a runaway comedic hit that resonated with audiences back then and still holds up now.

"Lieutenant Harris. Captain Felix Maxwell. Skroeder. Anyway you slice him, GW Bailey is the cop/security guard you love to hate. While each of these films deserves a more thorough examination for their many, many merits, the Curator once again takes time to devote a post to an overlooked co-star: GW Bailey, the embodiment of type-casting at its finest. The classic line, "Do you understand me numb-nuts??!!" in the original Police Academy pretty much nailed his career coffin shut, with Bailey preserved inside, permanently costumed in blue. And who benefits from such predictability in the comedy genre? Why we the viewer, of course! Let us celebrate the co-starring career of the first GW. The Films: Police Academy, Short Circuit, Mannequin Viewing order importance: As above. Watch the depth of GW Bai "
