And I did the same all over again seeing it for the second time on the small screen. This is one hilarious movie.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
For those of you who cannot open the MTV link in the OP:

Made this my monday morning movie and while I thought it was consistently funny and downright hilarious at times(I second the Panda bit and the trailers), I was kind of worn out by the end. I did think the jokes got a bit repetitive as the characters were so one dimensional. It reminded me a lot of The Ben Stiller Show which should have made him a household name back in the early 90's. Worth the rent if like political incorrect humor.

[SPOILER]Work the shaft. Swallow the juice.[/SPOILER] I don't know why that's funny, but I was saying that over and over again to my wife in no context whatsoever.
Tom Cruise's dance number at the end was funny.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

That line that made it to the movie was tame! lol

I personally loved the panda scene with Ben and Matthew Macon(however you spell it) But does anyone think its kind of crazy that Downey Jr. is getting noms for supporting actor? I didn't think his part in the movie stood out very well at all.

Well, but Kevin Kline got Oscar as supporting actor, in "A Fish Called Wanda". So maybe he will.....

I think Robert Downey Jr was superlative and hilarious and the heart and soul of the film. I think Ledger will walk away, well, that's not a good analogy, but he will receive every award for which he is nominated. But if it weren't Ledger's year, again, not a good way to say that, Downey could very well stand a chance. I thought he was brilliant.
