ShangLuda
Admirable film.
Nayan Gough
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Kaelan Mccaffrey
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I can't forget when I was in Los Angeles and saw Jay Leno live at a comedy club. He had the audience rolling in the aisles for well over an hour. I hope that his new time slot will take his audience with him.I have no idea WHY NBC chose Conan for the Late Nite Show. His humor is moronic and, as a host, he doesn't know when to stop at times. One night he was interviewing Hugh Laurie and he began using a very bad Cockney accent. Hugh was visibly annoyed and Conan just didn't seem to pick up the body language and continued ad nauseum. Finally Hugh shut him up with a comment.I have no idea what audience NBC is hoping to reach, but I for one am changing the channel to something else. I wonder how long it will take for the ratings to drop... he reminds me of some socially maladjusted person who is trying to use humor to "fit in".

Conan O'Brien has turned into a redundant, boring want-to-be comedian whose stale and tasteless jokes and his embarrassing gesticulations are cringe-inciting and annoying at best! His "show" should have been taken off the air long ago, but he was kept on and now he's slated to take over the Tonight Show from Jay Leno! I guess Leno's jokes about NBC's desperation are becoming reality! When Leno took over from Carson, he struggled a bit in the beginning, but soon after he started drawing more and more viewers to the show and became a serious competition to Letterman's Late Night Show, because there was variety and folksy wit in his performance and he connected with the audience perfectly. O'Brien, on the other hand, regurgitates the same nonsense each and every night! His so-called jokes are so boring and his anecdotes and his behavior so silly he has to pause for the audience to finally laugh or applaud just to get him going! His takeover of The Tonight Show next year will cost NBC dearly and put the show way below others.

The show has traits from different factors. Our current society is basically accepting of mediocrity and a short attention span, which the show provides.The show appears on network TV, so it attempts to a wide generic audience.The show has a late time slot, taking advantage of looser standards, resulting in some tacky mean lowbrow unsophisticated humor.The New York basing of the show provides an audience that is sort of loud and judgmental, quick to boo or cheer on whatever whimsy they are feeling.The types of comedy are an amalgamation. There are sketches that are fictional forms of comedy used by other shows based on "real life". Some Late Night sketches use actors ( from local comedy troupes ) sitting in the seats posing as audience members; may of these particular sketches repeat themselves, with the exact content changing a little but not to the point of really doing anything new.Occasionally Conan will head out into real life, taping his adventures ( sometimes along with another employee of the show ) encountering actual people; I consider these bits some of the better results of the show, since they have a lower amount of nastiness and weirdness.Another comedy piece I go for are the Recliner Of Rage complaints by Pierre Bernard. Bernard is basically a mad with a good proper heart, with a steady real job ( he works for the show ), who has a few pet peeves. It's good that Conan isn't hard on him.What does Conan think of the humor of the show? How much of it does he write? It's hard to say.Conan often plays up to the camera with little antics. Occasionally he blurts out in song, adding a strange unexplainable note at the end. Other times he'll jump at the camera near the end of the monologue, with a whip of the hand over his face like he's dancing. It's basically a sign that he's settled in with being a talk show host, compared to the first two seasons ( when the show was rumored to be vulnerable to cancellation ).Andy Rickter was the sidekick for the early seasons; he didn't do much, but that's basically a sidekick's situation.The band is good, and likes to ham it up. They seem to have a good time in the various comedy skits that feature them.Announcer Joel Goddard is a bit of a mystery; he has only one pre-Conan credit for any work in the television or movie industry. Where did he come from? What's his life history?Most of his comedy bits have a lack of dignity, but I suppose it doesn't bother him because they are just jokes.

Late Night With Conan O'Brien is the best Late Night and just plain talk show on TV. Even though Conan doesn't get the guests Leno or Letterman get, he makes up for it with his witty humor and hilarious gags including: the Walker Texas Ranger Lever, Interviews with Celeberties, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Conan is a great entertainer and keeps the audience into his show.He is the best talk-show host and I can't wait until he takes over for Leno in '09. The show is funny, it's smart, and entertaining. Plain and simple it is good.Late Night With Conan O'Brien. Starring: Conan O'Brien, Max Weinberg, Joel Godard, and the Max Weinberg 7.4 out of 5 Stars.
