I didn't think "Collateral" would be any good, but I think Michael Mann movies rely heavily on mood & atmosphere and it can't be effectively conveyed in a 30-second trailer spot.

Collateral was opposite for me. I thought it would be sweet and read some good reviews. Then, in the end, the super slick, incredibly lethal, never fails hit man lets a guy point a gun at him from point blank range when he has a gun himself and decides not to do anything about it. Wow, he got shot. Hmm...he's probably never been in a situation like that before where someone was pointing a gun at him. Must have not known what to do (kill the guy with the gun). Ruined the whole movie. If TC just kills them both and walks away, movie rocks.

Chris Elliot is the most unappreciated comic genius of our time

I don't know if I'd use the word genius to describe him, but underrated and unappreciated certainly apply.

Get A Life was awesome, but my favorite bit of his was from an old Late Show with Letterman where he helped Dave answer viewer mail.

It was a letter about a certain dog food being new, improved and having a better flavor than before. Dave points the audience to Chris, who rolls out a table with a small dog and two cans of the dog food, the new version and the older less tasty version. Chris pulls a big spoonfull out of each can and sets it in front of the dog. As the audience waits for the dog to take the "taste test", Chris grabs a smaller spoon and proceeds to sample the two foods. When asked for an opinion he claims that he can't tell the difference.

BTW, the first 9 minutes of Supertroopers is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

As much as I love Super Troopers, Club Dredd was completely unwatchable. I was pleasantly suprised by Kill Bill.
