Oh hey, it’s 11:39 pm on a Sunday night and I just remembered I need to have one of these up and running tomorrow.  I took tomorrow off so I could help a friend saw holes in our ceiling and put in an attic entryway that won’t cause kill or maim anyone trying to pull the ladder down, because that is decidedly not the case with the ladder we put in 20+ years ago.  Also it’s my birthday and no one should work on their birthday.  You all owe me a gift.

So based on the open thread we’re currently in, (authored by the estimable Don T), I was reminded that a topic I’d been hoarding, comedy films, was till available.  Rikki’s going on about comedy/sci-fi films, which would be an excellent topic if it didn’t run out at about 10 picks, so we’re just going to do comedy films.

Anyway, to qualify the film has to be an intentional comedy.  ‘Sophie’s Choice’ doesn’t count; seriously, anyone who’s had more than one kid knows there’s an easy choice to be made.  Don’t kid yourself otherwise.

With the first pick, and keeping with tradition, I will take ‘Kelly’s Heroes’, which qualifies as a war film, a heist film, and a comedy, because parts of it are very funny.  Also it means Sharkbait can’t draft it, which is half the fun.

There will be no commissioner.  Frankly we’ll be lucky if I roll in much before noon.

The rest of you are on the clock.
