Sorry. Watching Farley's attempts at humor are almost painful. Only when he was with David Spade was there some hint of a light in there. Maybe he needed a good straight man to be funny.As for Belushi, I guess I'll never convince you and you'll never convince me. I think Belushi was incredibly funny, when he was "on." Love "The Blues Brothers" and "Animal House" and "Neighbors" and all. Farley wasn't good enough to carry his Saturday Night Samurai sword.
As for "Batman." Liked Nicholson, hated the movie when he wasn't on screen. High camp without the humor that would have made it so much better. Course, it was better than the sequels.
"Ten Commandments" problem isn't just Heston. Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, and Yvonne DeCarlo - all fine actors - are even hammier than Heston. The scene where Ramases confronts Neferteri after Moses' return from exile is screamingly funny because it is so horribly acted and directed. No parody can do it justice as it is its own parody.
I gotta tread softly in my house on that subject as my wife's two favorite movies are 1. The Ten Commandments and 2. Topgun. Both make me hurl. I'd rather have inflammed 'roids than have to sit through Topgun and rather have an enraged rhino stomp a mudhole in my cranium than have to watch Ten Commandments. - it's certainly a "better" movie than, say, "Plan 9 From Outer Space" but no easier to sit through.
And I have no idea what a "donut bumper is." So I guess I didn't know about Jodie Foster being one.
