Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
IMDB
Martin's random top 10 list of actor's (living or dead) he would have preferred to play Count Olaf:
1. Edward G. Robinson
2. Alan Rickman (probably not, because of Snape, but still...)
3. Michael Gambon (I was going to say Gary Oldman as well, but let's cut our H.P. crossover here)
4. Michael Caine
5. Ann Coulter (*shiver*)
6. Ian Holm
7. Tim Curry (who read the audio book with a certain aplomb).
8. Jerry Orbach (R.I.P., a true master of delivering the quip)
9. Ryan Stiles (who, coincidentally, was in the theater with us and his children)
10. Christopher Walken (Hell, I would have taken Jay Mohr's impersonation of him).
11. BONUS COULD-BE VILLIAN: Montgomery Burns.

The Barbarian Invasions

I couldn't quip about it last time about it last time, but this time I just say words that make us all laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and laugh: Socialized Medicine.
HaHaHaHa. Silly Canadians. They're lucky we allow them to live on the same continent with us.

Worth it just to watch Harvey Weinstein mock himself with a bit of a wink.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for
con and heist movies. They phoned it in, but they phoned it in right.

The Sunshine Boys
IMDB
The extras on the DVD feature an amazing press-junket from 1975, worth the admission for George Burns explaining to the press why he bcame a straight man.
