Baseketball

Baseketball

I have just returned with a new threesome of vids free of charge, courtesy of the Hollywood Video MVP program. Now that I have some time to myself I can enjoy the often overlooked South Park meets Naked Gun picture, "Baseketball". You might be thinking "WTF? that came out like 5 years ago?!" I know this came out in 1998 but I have been busy not working. So without further crybabying read this damndeded write-up(exclimation po!nt).

So basically Matt Stone and Trey Parker are rehashing their classic South Park characters "Cartman" and "Kenny" in movie form. The dastardly duo of dynamic yet one-sided characters that say either "fuck" or "dude" every fifth word, in theory amounts to a recipe for fun. However, this movie differs from the South Park movie in one big way, it ISN'T funny.

The plot basically follows the lives of two loveable losers who in a world of corporate sponsored sports premadonnas invent their own sport; Baseketball. Maybe I wasn't high or drunk enough to really enjoy the subtleties of the Coloradian couple but shit is wack.

I tought that the saving grace may have been the fact that David Zucker---Director of the classic Naked Gun and Airplane movies---soiled his hands on this peice of shit. Unfortunately, it looks like this was the movie that Zucker made just after "Wrongfully Accused".

But this movie is no wrongfully accused, and there is a giant Leslie Nielsen filled hole in the Baseketball celluloid that desperately needed filling.

Actually I am pretty jealous of these two guys who turned a shitty Christmas cartoon of Jesus fighting Santa into a multimillion dollar thingy thing. I lied, that cartoon was funny.

Basketball gets a 7/1,000,000 on my special rating scale.

Time to watch some Chappelle's show before beddy-bye-bye-bye why's it always the good ones....
