Is your boss a ‘corporate psycho’? asks BBC News Online:

Professor Hare estimates that 1% of the general population in North America are psychopaths.

Since there are significantly more than 3 million RnB fans in North America, this allows us to rule out insanity as the sole cause of their musical taste.

(On the other hand, hip-hoppy stuff is now so popular that maybe insanity accounts for the 3 million people who don’t like RnB.)

Airplane, The Naked Gun, and… Scary Movie 3? I didn’t know David Zucker and Robert K Weiss did that. Maybe that means it’s worth seeing. They’re also doing the 4th one. Zucker produced Phone Booth too apparently. And then there’s The Untitled Onion Movie! Wow! Zucker and Onion humour together! That could go so disastrously wrong or be so great.

Enough generalities. Here is why these films are so fantastic: the commentary tracks on the Naked Gun DVDs. Here’s one exchange between Robert Weiss and Peter Tilden:

[discussing the cancellation of Police Squad after ABC saw one show]

Weiss: “Well, do you remember, the network wanted to have a laugh track. They begged us to put a laugh track on it, and we didn’t know where to put the laugh for a visual joke.”

Tilden: “So you fought them on it?”

Weiss: “We fought them on it.”

Tilden: “And they called you after one episode.”

Weiss: “Yeah. Wait a minute, I guess we lost that one.”

Ahem, I quote from Roll Deep:

Practice the “What the fuck?!” arm gesture (both arms open, palms spread outward) until it becomes an automatic response to any question, especially if from a parent, cop, boss, or teacher.
