And every time I start to wonder why I read your blog, you post something like this and completely redeem yourself.

Brain Donors is one of the finest comedy movies, ever.

Great, now I have to hunt this down, if only for the duck shooting scene.

I do find it a little uneven in places, but yes, it is celluloid greatness on a variety of levels, from the slapstick (the spinning and the bucket) to the seminal (Turturro channeling the kinesis and the verve of Groucho with laser precision) to the sublime (the “Alfie” medley). I’ve got a ton of .wav files I made from it for various error messages that I made, God, ten years ago or so — it’s fulfilling to hear an error as Flakfizer announces “Always remember — nobody likes you!” Now I must hunt these down. Thanks for reminding me of this undiscovered and unappreciated little gem.

People have been pitching Brain Donors to me for a long time, and for some reason I sort of equated it mentally with stuff like The Disorderlies. I had no idea it was a Marx Brothers remake… and that means I need to see it immediately.

The only problem I have with Brain Donors is that Harpo talks. Other than that, it is fan-freaking-tastic.

From that picture alone, I have remembered that I have seen this film. I might have even seen it in the theaters. For this, I thank you.

I hope that the next Film you do would be “The Abominable Dr. Phibes”. Classic, that is.

I saw this in theaters and laughed myself sick. Boy, is it flawed, and boy, do I love it. And boy oh boy, can I never persuade my friends of its greatness.

Hell yes. Though no movie ever has ever been or will ever be as funny as Duck Soup.

Ever.

This is one of my favourite movies of all time, there a number of times where the jokes will build upon each other in a short time and reduce me to a mess on the floor with my stomach cramping from laughter. This should be up there with flyling high as a popular comedy legend.
