I bet you thought this was going to be a little more interesting. But sorry, I meant it in the sense that this is my first thread. One thing that has been bothering me recently is that no one seems to appreciate the Road to Wellville as much as I do. (You know, the biography on Dr. Kellogg and his yogurt enemas…) Well, if you haven’t seen it, you should watch it, and if you have, I wouldn’t mind hearing I am not alone here. If I am, help me find a new favorite movie.
I’m a beginner too. Only four or five posts myself. So we’ll walk through this hand-in-hand and maybe, just maybe, we’ll make it out OK.
Good movie. I love Bridget Fonda!
And hey, don’t feel too bad. Nobody even said Hi to me.

OK, so if that was number eight, this would make number nine, which means I had a few more than I origianlly thought. There’s that public school ejimication for ya!

to say “Hi” to both of you! [sub]especially cuz I’m one of those people that never notice anything new til a couple of weeks later, so this is a first for me too :)[/sub]
I hope you enjoy the boards and participate as much as you can (see my sign-on date? See my post-count? Yeah. You can do better than me!).
As for the OP, I have no idea what you’re talking about, so that’s that.
See you around!
Road to Wellville really didn’t particularly interest me. Of course, I saw it in the course of a home-video fest that included fare such as Pitch Black, Sleepy Hollow, and Quills, so the general mood didn’t particularly foster much enjoyment of Broderick’s usual hapless mensch shtick. I kind of thought it was boring, really.
Of course, beside Quills, Hollywood mass marketing tends to pale a bit.

I love Road to Wellville. Comedy Central plays it every other week and I always make a point of watching it. I can’t pass up Matthew Broderick’s eyes.
I can’t say I LOVED it… but it certainly had its merits (read: quirks?) and it certainly isn’t what I would call “forgettable”. Many very strange parts and in general a very strange movie.
I first saw it on Bravo or IFC or some such channel so they didn’t edit out anything… kinda sucked seeing it on comedy central after that.
Yeah, I see it on Comedy Central all the time too. Definately an interesting movie, to say the least, but it does have some really funny parts. And I know just what you mean, swainpup, because I’ve never been able to explain those funny parts to anyone else.
What do they edit out?
I can’t really say I like the movie, but Anthony Hopkins’ delivery of, “Take Mr. Lightbody to the yogurt room and give 'im fifteen gallons,” is just classic.
It was different, I’ll give it that. But it meandered a lot and didn’t seem to have much point. To many sub-plots. It would have worked better if they had focused on either the Matthew Broderick plot or the John Cusack plot, and not tried to do them both at the same time.
Still, had some great lines, and Anthony Hopkins was priceless.

I remember two things about that movie.
Camrien Manheim, and “Bicycle simlie”
I read the book and thought it was great.
The movie was fun, too.
Thank-you, and shall we take our next call please…
Well!come toopenforum.
Apparently there is some scene in that movie in which an elderly lady plays the piano or the organ in the background.
I know her.

You’ll find more people with a common interest visit and post on your thread if you’ll be more descriptive in your thread title. For example, you might have instead used;
Losing my virginity with oatmeal enemas.
Welcome swainpup. Glad you’re here.

Figures.
I saw part of the movie the other day on Comedy Central and enjoyed the part I saw. I must make a note to see all of it someday.
Got you beat, chickenhead…
I [pause for preening] know the singer who performs during the for-want-of-a-better-term chase sequence [performed with her in a couple of shows about ten years back; she’s a lot better than I am]; know the elderly male violinist who is the subject of a closeup shot early on; and know most of the choristers who show up from time to time. Why, I could CALL THEM UP right now assuming I could remember any of their names…
Nyaah, nyaah, nyaah, nyaah, nyaah…
