After seeing The Hangover twice in theaters, I still am amazed at how funny this movie is. I am anxiously awaiting this movie to come out on DVD so I can enjoy the same laughs at home. Not giving away any scenes from the movie, for those of you who still have not it, all I can say is that this wolf pack of a movie is to die for. For all my fellow Hang Over fans, you will all understand these clues mentioned within this blog. From Carlos to the Indiana Jones man bag, you will begin laughing at the start of this movie all the way to the end.

I love mainly comedy movies which gave me a good laugh. I don’t care much for the violence that they have today in movies that they show in theatres or on television. I still prefer a lot of comedy movies since I was a kid growing up. Here are a couple of my favourite movies:

Firstly, I liked Ferris Bueller’s Day Off because it was about a teen who faked his own illness and has decided to take a day off with his friends, Sloane and Cameron to go downtown Chicago and have a great time in order to view the city. The funny thing was that his parents thought that he was really sick, but really Ferris faked his own illness. How funny that was!

In the end, Ferris Bueller got caught by Mr. Rooney, the dean of the school. There was a lot of funny parts to this movie. Cameron made a phoney phone call to Mr. Rooney about Sloane’s grandmother that passed away. Mr. Rooney went to the Bueller’s house to see if Ferris was home. Jeanie made a phone call to the police about an intruder in the house. Isn’t that funny? What a laugh that I thought that it would be a great teen movie for the kids to see.

In Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Neil Page, an executive marketer was trying to get home from New York to Chicago for a thanksgiving weekend. His taxi got ripped off by Del Griffith, who was a salesman and which they met one a plane afterwards.

Unfortunately, everything goes wrong for Neil and Del, because their money was stolen, rental car was stolen, Del’s car got on fire after a cigarette accident and how to get home for thanksgiving was really difficult for Neil Page himself. It wasn’t easy. In the end of the movie, since everything was said and done, Del Griffith got Neil Page home to his family in Chicago for the thanksgiving holidays.

Believe me, I thought John Candy, (Del Griffith) and Steve Martin, (Neil Page) made a pretty good pair in the movie. Don’t you think that it’s a good travelling kind of movie to see with your family? I think it was worth a good laugh to see these movies over and over again!

Those kinds of movies that I wrote about are so funny and they’re worth a good laugh when you need something to make you feel good. Don’t you think it’s worth laughing over and over again to see those kinds of comedy movies. I believe it so much that it’s worth making me feel good about myself.

Director Mike Judge, along with many of the cast members, descended on Austin this weekend for the 10th Anniversary showing of their cult-classic late nineties workplace comedy, "Office Space" Austin’s own historic Paramount Theater played host to the movie mogul and his cast members including just about everyone except Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston. Fans lined up well in advance of the 8:00 p.m. curtain time, and the excitement was palpable.

For many, "Office Space" has become a classic the highly quotable script and oddball characters earned roars of laughter throughout the showing, as whole lines of the film were drowned out by the laughter and enthusiasm of the hundreds of fans in attendance.

John C. McGinley, perhaps best known for his long-running role as Dr. Cox on "Scrubs" was one of the many cast members in attendance. McGinley expressed amazement and appreciation for the warm reception of fans, admitting he hadn’t seen the film in its entirety since the original screening he attended back when it debuted in 1999. Director Mike Judge quipped that the screaming masses in the Paramount Theater on Sunday night rivaled the film’s entire opening weekend attendance.

For a film that was all but a box office failure, "Office Space" has garnered a devoted cult following in the decade since its release. A champion of the disenfranchised, disinterested world of young professionals, the relevance and occupational indifference at the heart of the film ring truer today than even a decade ago. One moviegoer asked Mike Judge, during the question and answer portion of the event, following the film, "What is your message for the young people just entering the job market?" Muffled laughter followed, as did a shouted response from somewhere in the audience: "Don’t do it!"

Judge himself admitted he began his professional career in an environment similar to the one he created so humorously in the film’s fictional software company, Initech. With a degree in physics, Judge found himself in a professional role most closely mirrored by that of the film’s mumbling hero, Milton Waddams (interestingly enough, this character was also the focus of his first animated short). When asked how he transitioned from physics to the film industry, Judge shrugged and responded that he did some animations and sent them out, and the rest was history.

Coordinated in conjunction with Austin’s own Fantastic Fest, the event was a huge success. While tickets were first made available only to Fantastic Fest and SXSW ticket holders, ticket sales were subsequently opened to the public, and sold out faster than you could say Swingline. Special VIP tickets were also available, which included entrance to an after party featuring movie themed appetizers like pizza shooters, shrimp poppers and extreme fajitas, complimentary pieces of flare, and even a red Swingline stapler an extra special addition, as the now-infamous red staplers were manufactured exclusively for the film, and never sold commercially. With SXSW fast approaching, more not-to-be-missed events are in the works at the Paramount and throughout Austin.
