Not yet mate, ken recommended that one too.

I like the brilliant pathological cameos Ferrell does in movies like Starsky and Hutch and The Wedding Crashers. I liked him in Old School too, and Elf.


Last night I watched Easy Rider, it popped up on UBC and it was a bit of a treat to see it as I'm reading about those guys at the moment.

Hadn't seen it in years, and it was an interesting mix of the excruciatingly awful (dreadful hippy platitudes), and blindingly brilliant (some scenes are bona fide cinema classics). The soundtrack kicks arse, absolutely inspired.

Peter Fonda does his best cardboard cutout impression throughout, Hopper's improvisation is clownish but brilliant. I hadn't remembered Nicholson as being anything special in this, but from the moment he hits the screen in the jail scene he's absolutely electric. He was always going to be something special.
