Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy

[Nlighten1]

Anyone ever see this? I caught it tonight on the dish. Very funny movie. The guy who owns the Pharma company is the original Dr. Evil. Mike Myers borrowed from him heavily for his character.

1. I love the wirlwind visit to the grandma's for xmas

2. The pharm company owner was Mark McKinney imitating...

...SNL (and KITH) producer Lorne Michaels. I think Mike Myers probably also drew from Michaels for the Dr Evil character.

Brain Candy was denied wide release because of the Cancer Boy character (according to Bruce McCullough).

[HEyHEY]

5. I didn't care for cancer boy

I'm not a huge prude when it comes to movies but that always rubbed me the wrong way

[pruner]

3. I haven't seen that film in years

the only scene I remember was the "gay pride" parade.

4. Funny?

Dude, you have not seen very many movies. Practically any single episode of Kids in the Hall was better than that sorry-ass excuse for a movie.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail = funny!
The Pink Panther Strikes Again = funny!
Canadian Bacon = funny!
The South Park Movie - funny!

Brain Candy = not funny!

Sorry, Nlighten1, for now you are obliged to hate me.

I suffer hate well.

7. this is true

I haven't seen a couple of the shows they did.

On edit

I don't hate people who disagree with me. On the contrary, now that you mention this I will have to go and see the other episodes of their show so I can see what I am missing.

6. I thought it was fricken hilarious!

Loved every ep of KITH and the movie....and cancer boy? Well it was such an assault to the PC-ness of the time it had me in stitches.

C'mon - will some other lefty admit we went overboard in the early nineties on college campuses and it came back to haunt us in a big way????

[Nlighten1]

8. I love the "Man Show"

PC has gotten waaaay out of hand.
