i have the truncated audio book of “Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot” which is mildly funny but dated. His first book is funny and the actual cutting stuff (mostly against Coulter) is completely undeniably true, not arguable. Second book is more of his actual opinions politically and as such not as strong or funny and more quickly dated. His radio show was pretty ass, but I appreciated his true attempts of bringing on dissenting views from big names and giving them respect.

Ironically politically in book form its weak and the humor shines, but on the show the humor was crap but the political stuff was decent.

Ebert’s pro-Smalley review

another tangent:
A lot of people think SNL movies just dont exist anymore, but its not ENTIRELY true, its just that Lorne Michaels has been producing different stuff. The Ladies Man was an SNL character to film bomb, but after that he instead went behind Mean Girls, Hot Rod, and Baby Mama.

Most people agree Mean Girls was actually quite good. I actually really like Hot Rod, especially more since its first release now that Danny McBride is more understood/appreciated and the nuances of the Lonely Islands sense of irony is more clear. it’s not perfect but I enjoy it quite a bit. I didnt like Baby Mama at all, but I know a lot of people do, and honestly for a mainstream comedy its at least a step above a lot of stuff.
The other movies down the pipe from Michaels are starring Fred Willard and Eric Bana, respectively.

I saw both It’s Pat and Stuart Smalley, i dont remember liking them, but apparently Smalley actually has a cult following, and not for any Franken cult apologetic sake, but because apparently (I was too young to appreciate it on that level to know for sure) it took that character and actually intended to have a somewhat weighty take on family disfunction/alcoholism, etc. – there are quite a few defenders of Stuart Saves His Family out there.

I nominate Larry Cohen to direct.

and OFFICE SPACE is tangentially a SNL movie, considering Mike Judge did the “Milton” animated shorts as SNL Bumpers.

I didn’t mind Waynes World 2 all that much. But mainly I skip them.

Anyone see the Stuart Smalley one with Al Franken?

I also love Will Forte, he has a hilarious voice, and I actually liked the Brothers Solomon movie because of him.

So in other words, with Forte and Taccone, I’m willing to give it a chance, but concede it has an uphill battle to be good.

But I can’t vote on your actual question, because I haven’t seen either The Blues Brothers or Wayne’s World. I saw Superstar, though! For what it’s worth….
