Did you miss the part where Animal House made over 500 million in 1978 dollars?

“Did you miss the part where Animal House made over 500 million in 1978 dollars?”

It made 141 million at the box office but not 500 million in 1978. I didn’t say it wasn’t successful, it struck me as more boring than funny.

“Gosh, you sound so cultured and tasteful. What a boring human being you must be.”

Animal house was boring. I liked the first Blues Brothers, I like P.G. Wodehouse adaptations, Caddy Shack was okay, and the Palacio Domingo shtick in Naked Gun was humorous. Young Frankenstein was good, Dead Men don’t wear plaid was okay but the ending was stupid. I never cared for Marx Brothers movies, or The Three Stooges, or Abbott and Costello... Blazing Saddles... boring.

Little Big Man was funny. No Time for Sergeants was funny. Dr. Strangelove was funny. Heck, Tin Cup was funny...

Animal House was boring.

ZOT!
