Man on the Moon

[Spooner]

Just saw the Andy Kaufman semi-documentary.

I liked it, however, most likely would have enjoyed it more if I really grew up watching Kaufman

REM's - Man on the Moon is a kickass song though

Yes it is

I bought their Parallel DVD just for that video

It wasn't even a semi-documentary, but it was good.

I couldn't finish it. Thoroughly unentertaining

Carey was good. The movie was enjoyable, with Tony Clifton stealing the show.

 

[yellowperil]

Lookout! I think you sat in some cottage cheese...Pardon me, that's your ass!

 

[Spooner]

Did this "Tony Clifton" character really act like that on stage?

VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOlare WOAH WOAH


Yes he did. Hilarious. Most of the plot in the movie, believe it or not, is truthful.

I grew up watching Taxi. What a great sitcom...they don't make them like that anymore. Friends is feel-goody-mushy and it sucks.

Do you guys remember that wannabe SNL that was on Friday nights in the 80s?
I can't remember the name.
Anyways, I remember Kaufman was on that show and he almost got into a fight with Kramer (Michael Richards) from Seinfeld!
It was one of the funniest things I have seen to date.

Yeah, great movie too. Jim Carrey did a great job portraying Andy. Kaufman was cool. The mighy Mouse thing was simply AWSOME!

The show was called Fridays.

I have to say I did not like Andy Kaufman in real life, so this movie did not appeal to me.

Danny Devito as Louie Depalma is what made that show for me. I thought Andy Kaufman's character really got old after awhile just like his Comedy.

For me, it was Christopher Lloyd.

Excellent show! That and WKRP in Cinncinati (sp?)...
