Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge, Snakes on a Plane, & What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Knowing Me, Knowing You is a spoof of talk shows done by Steve Coogan as Alan Partridge, but the character was far funnier in I'm Alan Partridge, as this just seemed to be more about funny things that could happen on a talk show, rather than funny things in general. The humor of KMKYWAP (pronounced like a word) is just easier and more broad than IAP, which was far more of a character study. A frickin' hilarious character study, though. Some of the episodes were quite good, like the French one, with the clown troupe. And every episode had at least some extremely funny bits, but without the ability to see the character off-camera, you don't get nearly as involved as the later series. But how can you complain about anything that has Minnie Driver as a post-op transsexual? Actually, that may have been part of my issue with it: that so much of the humor is just homophobic jokes. I know it's meant to point out just how out of touch with reality Partridge is, but it still struck me as bothersome. The bonus disc has a couple of specials, including the Christmas special, quite possibly the funniest thing in the series. Just for Fanny and her constant puns. You know, it's just quite funny, along with the other things, like the unaired pilot, with the famous arses. The main disc is three hours of funny, but the bonus disc is only an hour or so. Which is a shame, as it was short.

Snakes on a Plane has unnecessary snakecam. Plus ridiculous dialogue, snakes, and something about mf'in' snakes on an mf'in' plane. The CGI is terrible, the plot is beyond stupid, and full of stereotypes. At least there was a lot of death. There was no reason for anyone to think this film would do well. It's so horrendously bad. Just far too tedious to be a fun watch.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is quite bad. Joan Crawford is not bad, but Bette Davis is so damn annoying in every way. I've hated her for quite a few years (combination of those eyes and just not caring for her, and that I loved All about Eve even with her should go to show just how much I loved that film), and I figured I'd try to watch this because of its reputation, but I just hated every single scene she was in. Which hurts the film, since she's in almost every scene. Also, the black person dies. Thanks Hollywood for making that so predictable.
