If Shakespeare had been more like this when I was in high school, I’d have a friggin’ Master’s degree in English Literature. Granted, it would probably do me just about as much good as what I have now, but I’d still probably have it…

Now, I realize that what I’m doing this Halloween season is a tribute to the fine folks over at Troma films, but by no means does that imply that I’m not going to be brutally honest when I need to be…

I’ve decided something, after many years of dissention on the issue: It’s not that Will Ferrell isn’t funny, it’s that Will Ferrell wasn’t funny on Saturday Night Live. I’ve never really been a big fan of Will’s, as I’ve mentioned many times here before. But since his departure from Lorne Michaels’ long-unfunny sinking ship, Ferrell has been showing that he can can carry movies better than I would have ever suspected from watching his SNL days…
