Weekends Spent in Bed with Ben Stiller

bshk

This Saturday, groggy from NyQuil, I watched Ben Stiller’s last film, The Heartbreak Kid, in its entirety. I didn’t ROFL and I LOLed rarely, if at all; but, honestly, zonked out on pills and cough syrup, it wasn’t awful. That’s the best this guy’s gotten from me since Permanent Midnight.

I thought that movie was damn funny. Good ending too.

I rate movies similar to this method. The crappier the movie, the more I need to drink. If I can’t walk by the end it’s truly crappy. I should do my own movie reviews like that Hot Tuna girl.

Except if the movie is really bad I’ll be completely shit faced for my web cast review. I’m a sloppy drunk.

No. 4 Mr. T says:

I can’t watch comedy when I’m sick, it either will depress me more (if the movie sucks) or it hurts to laugh. Try a good mystery or fantasy picture. Nothing like using the imagination to help you forget your problems.

I can only do that if there are semi nude pictures of Brad Pitt around. BALE! and Reynolds works pretty good too.

How old is that little girl? Are the Stillers little people or what? She’s almost up to their shoulders, and I don’t think she’s near double digits yet.

No. 8 Kristin says:

Wow, I never agree with the politics on this site, and I often wonder what the hell Cord is talking about (for example, blaming the war for the anger directed at that crazy lady who lied to get her daughter tickets to some dumb show - HUH? Maybe, just maybe, people are pissed at that winner of a gal because she did something wrong - and demonstrated a revolting level of greediness and grabbiness over STUPID SHIT. I mean, we aren’t talking about a loving mama stealing FOOD for her little ones here, people) but to ENJOY the craposity of The Heartbreak Kid? Truly wacko. This movie was seriously one of the worst movies I’ve seen in recent memory. I kept hoping it would be funny. I did. I sort of like Ben Stiller, and I’m certainly not a culture snob. I’ve loved many a silly, pointless movie. But this one was just GROSS and tried way too hard. I laughed maybe once. MAYBE. Seriously, what was funny about it? The queef? The phrase ‘cock me’? The DONKEY SMOKING A CIGAR after nailing Ben Stiller’s ex-wife (I’m serious)? Haha. Funny, yes, if you are twelve, a little slow for your age, and kinda disturbed.

No. 9 Lisa#1 says:

Clearly the ‘burbs are getting to Cord, Kirstin. Which is odd, because I grew up in a suburb-type city, and never liked this sort of crap (I refulse to believe Something about Mary doesn’t suck. THe 1/2 hour or so I saw proves me right, damn it).

My explorer window was small and I saw “donkey smoking,” and I thought to myself, “self, that is funny - maybe you should rent it.” Then I saw “…after having sex with his ex-wife..” and I thought to myself, “self, you were deluded by your small window size. This movie sounds like shit.” They should have stopped at the smoking donkey.

No. 10 squidburger says:

This was the worst movie out in a LONG time. Not funny, really morally repugnant, shitty acting, and a plot that made me want to slit my wrists. It calls for a 4 cocktail minimum. Truly, I questioned who paid to remake this and why. I hope they are now bankrupt.
That said, I love Zoolander.

No. 11 jujubees says:

You guys need to reread. He was chugging the nyquil. He was clearly hallucinating a much better movie.

No. 12 Julia says:

Cord was clearly not just consuming Nyquil. He made himself a pint of Britney’s insanity inducing “Purple Monster” which, according to this site: http://www.nypost.com/seven/01.....400014.htm
is a concoction of Nyquil, vodka, and Redbull. Nicely done, Cord.

You forgot the pills. I wonder if you can turn that into a frappacino?

No. 14 Lily the Pink says:

juju, I know we’ve been through this before, but remind me again…Ryan Reynolds or Burt Reynolds?

No. 15 Lily the Pink says:

I enjoyed Love Actually when I was zonked on out on Vicodin after surgery last year, but to be honest, I was mildly amused watching dust gather on one of my end tables. Watch it again without the dextromethorphan then get back to us.

No. 16 blah says:

You can pretty much count on the fact that if it has Ben Stiller in it, it’s going to suck. Try as he might, he is just not as funny as his parents. Even when he was a guest star on “Extras”, I thought he was mediocre at best.

No. 17 James Walker says:

Ben Stiller’s best work was as director of “The Cable Guy”, a very underrated and dark (comedy ?) film with Jim Candy.

No. 18 James Walker says:

Sorry, I meant Jim Carrey, ha ha, not Jim Candy.

You must’ve been drugged…this movie sucked balls Cord.
