View From the Bushes

The question for today is, "Did you know there's a guy living in our closet?" "You've seen him too?" "Who is he?" "Hollyfeld." " Why does he keep going into our closet?" "Why do you keep going in our closet?" "To get my clothes, but that's not why he's going in there." "Of course not he's twice your size. Your clothes would never fit him." "Yeah?" "Think before you ask these questions, Mitch. Twenty points higher than me, thinks a big guy like that can wear his clothes?" Actually what I want to know is "Can you hammer a six in spike through a board with your..."

Bonus points if anyone was able to identify that as an excerpt from "Real Genius". There are many great movies from my youth, but very few of them have the place in my heart that "Real Genius" does. When Val Kilmer asks some actor who never appeared in another movie (actually it was Gabe Jarrett and he was in other movies even one you may have heard of) "Was it a dream where you see yourself in, sort of, Sun God robes, on a pyramid, with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?" There may never again be a finer moment in American Cinema.

Speaking of great movies, the other day I watched "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain" (it's okay it's British). A very good, but also relatively unknown. You really haven't lived until you've seen Hugh Grant play a stuttering Englishman or sat through a World War One surveying drama. Trust me on this one. I sat down with some of the other DireKobold guys and we discussed what new features to add, and I think you're going to like it. Stick around you ain't seen nothing yet.
