M. NightJimmyFallonla

I thought this exchange was worth recording. If you want to play along at home feel free to submit your own suggestions in the comment section.

Steve:

This looks incredible. I started reading the newer series when Darwyn Cooke (New Frontier) was doing it…I can’t wait for this.

Ken:

This looks really cool. Visually stunning.

How many movies does someone have to do before they don't have to say "The Creator of XXX and YYY?" I would have thought Frank Miller was well-known enough by now. I mean, they don't have Spielberg trailers with "The man that brought you E.T. and Jaws" (Granted Spielberg is WAY bigger, but I couldn't come up with a better example.) Maybe Tarantino or M.Night Shama-lama-ding-dong-lan

Steve:
I watched ‘Unbreakable’ last week from Shama-lalalalalalalal-lan. Could have been so much better. So disappointing.

Ken:
They called him Mr. Glass...

I think Shamalan gets so caught up in his twist he ignores the rest of the movie.

The worst was the Village. I liked that movie except where the blind girl was running through a FOREST and only hit like one branch on the ground. She never ran full-bore into a tree. I have two good eyes and I'm pretty sure I would hit a tree eventually if I was running at a sprint through a forest.


Joel:
I think they were still billing M. Night SummerShamaSlam (sorry, best I could do) as the writer/director of various things to promote the Happening. Although why they think reminding people about stuff like the Village or Signs is a a good idea I haven't yet figured out.

Tom:
I would have gone with M. Night Shamalamadingdong.

Joel:
That's always my first thought, but Ken already took that one with his first email. And then Steve used the equally as awesome Shama-lalalalalalalal-lan, which I read in my head with Steve Carrell's voice from when he would do that on the Daily Show, and I felt like I was running out of good options.

And I didn't want to be derivative with something like Shama-lama-ooh-la-la. I guess I was having some trouble summoning the funny this morning.

Steve:
You could have done Shama-I make subpar movies because I am building up to an ending that will blow your mind but the rest of my movie really sucks-lan.

Ken:
Nice.

I would make it

Shama-I make subpar movies because I am building up to an ending that will blow your mind but the rest of my movie really sucks and sometimes the end sucks too because it's getting harder and harder to be unpredictable but studios keep giving me money to make movies-lan

Joel:
Awesome. I'm putting this on the blog.

(and so I did)

The best part about this was in between there was also a running commentary about Jimmy Fallon taking over for Conan O'Brien, which may be even funnier and went something like this:

Steve:
Do you guys watch the Daily Show at all? If not…I love what John Stewart is doing with this…

Ken:
That's awesome.

I like Jon Stewart because he makes himself laugh sometimes, but not in that Jimmy Fallon way. It's more like "This is so absurd I can't' believe I'm doing it"

Tom:
Jimmy Fallon is annoying.


Joel:
And he's taking over for Conan...

Ken:
That can only last like two weeks right?

Steve:
I predict Jimmy Fallon's show will be less successful than either Chevy Chase or Magic Johnson's shows.

Ken:
Is there something less than none? Because that's where my vote is.

Steve:
A black hole...or a wormhole that takes you to a place where everything sucks...

Jimmy Fallon, The Mask 2, Hannah Montana, and any show with Jim Belushi.
