Nacho Libre (Inspired by the Mexican Lucha Libre cult classic films)

I've seen it about twenty times now (once in the theatre and about 19 times on bootleg). It's Jack Black's best performance to date.

I'll admit that yes, it is one of those films that only about 5% of the people that watch it will enjoy, but that's what makes it so great. It's a film inspired by a cult classic and intended for a cult audience. I'm sure many of the people who trashed this film went into the theatre expecting a brainless Wedding Crashers or American Pie type of humour. That's because they're all unimaginative. If you're one of those people, you don't understand Nacho Libre and that's why you didn't find it great.

You have to really understand where Jack Black is going with this character. In order to understand, you have to not take the film so seriously and really know what it's like to be a grown up still chasing childhood dreams.

Those who do understand will agree with me that it has dark and light laughs, heroic action, and yes a few tear jerking moments. Not to mention incredible direction by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite).

Nacho Libre is the best Amercian film of 2006 (most years I wouldn't even have one to pick). I think it's high time that intelligent comedies get the fucking credit they deserve.

Rare Shit.

What if the Government decided to ban the smell of shit? Let's say somehow, via the magic of science they were able to eliminate the odor of shit from the face of the planet. Would there then be a sort of underground demand for the smell of shit? Would stanky ass shit be as precious and valuable as say something like diamonds? I believe it would.

(get ready for the predictable pun)

Think about that shit. (there it is)
