Film Movie: The Movie

Hilarious...

They should let Jimmy Kimmel host and produce next year's Oscars. I'd watch that.

I would actually go to the theater for this.

So funny! But wait - hiring to run the Oscars a man whose daily job is placing stars in appealing new promotional situations? Boy, I don't know if Hollywood is ready for thinking like this.

There was also a clip with Oprah and Jimmy re-doing the scene from Say Anything. Show was so funny last night that I was up until 12:30.

Where was Michael Caine?

Admit it, you dug it for the centaur :P

This was amazing, though. I normally don't love comedy based around "look how many really famous people we can get!" - Extras is an honourable exception - but they pulled it off here by going for maximal absurdity.

Anyone who enjoyed this should also definitely check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbhrz1-4h… It's going more for "prestige" films than blockbusters.

Bryan Cranston around the 4 minute mark: "Really?"

My thought exactly.

About 8 minutes too long.

I agree with Dingo. My wife and I made it three minutes into this. I was already thinking it had gone on far too long when she stopped it. She told me there were another 6 minutes left, and then I thought she should have stopped it even earlier.
