No. Dancing penguins do not interest me.

It may well be the worst movie ever, but I will never know.

Oh man, I agree 100%. Apart from the fact that the movie was STUPID, Nicholas Cage murdered it with really bad acting. What a dumper

ive always enjoyed seinfeld. some of the background posters are of various porsches. difficult to see, usually a matter of pico seconds before yer eyes comprehend what they saw. one in particular is the purple turbo tailshot poster on the wall on the left side of yer tv screen(picture changes each episode, not always a porsche). this isnt for the ocular impaired, gotta be fast on seeing them.

dd74 is jerry undercover, and i know thats a fact, because i believe everything i read on pelican. he is tabulating all the bad b-movie reviews for future retaliation!

give the guy a break on b-movie, hes got kids now crawling up his keester and it was a good way to get outta the house and have some fun!

what i wanna see is....................our fearless WAYNE DEMPSEY race JERRY SEINFELD mano y mano , face to face, 959 vs. 959! now that would be COOL!

GRUPPE BEE (b-get it?) PART DU!

when was the last time ya saw (2) 959's hauling A$$ let alone one on the road??????

I thought it was pretty much general knowldege by now... all the clues are there if you look for them.

No biggie anyway, most of us have know for a while that dd74 is Jerry, and we treat him the same.

Hmm... he hasn't posted since I outed him. Maybe I've got a PM from him offering me 10k if I delete my posts

Superman is Jerry. We all know that aside from Porsches, superman was Jerry's other "thing".

Is it just me or did Nick Cage read too much from the "So you wanna be Elvis" handbook?

Happy Feet = Worst Movie Ever

Cute penguins though. Animation of this type should have cute characters that children enjoy.

Jerry is a funny dude. I watch the show frequently still, and have most of the dvd's (christmas presents, great for traveling). The show pushed the limits certain time, but in a discreet way, not like current tv.

Remember the episode where he is the neo nazi and they are in the limo? His blue 993 is in the background of the street scene where Elaine and Kramer are waiting. Well, its a blue 993, so I have always figured it was his.

I have heard he is cool and down to earth to talk to at car shows etc, very much like Leno. That to me is cool, and earns my respect. I mean, he's no different than us, just has lots of cash, that he earned.

Well, he's not quite as cool as me, I mean come on, tennis shoes and shirts tucked into his 33 eer 32 waist jeans....

He's pretty quick on the comebacks. He ripped Larry King a new one when Larry asked if he cancelled his show or the network cancelled the show. It's on Youtube, however I don't know how to post the link.

I guess you just have to see "Bee Movie" to appreciate how inane it is. I agree that "Seinfeld" the show was funny (one of my favorite of all time), it's Seinfeld the man--10 years later--that I found so unfunny.

Four years in the making, unlimited budget, Seinfeld as producer, writer and star and all we have is a formulaic flick in the mold of "Shrek", the pioneer of a new genre of animation that is getting a little tired six years later.

I mean it wasn't like Neil Young doing swing; it was Seinfeld doing his trademark "observational comedy". As a true "Seinfeld" fan, I'm just so surprised and disappointed that this was the best he could do.

And no I am not a frustrated film critic, just a father of two young children who has seen more than his fair share of animated features and knows a dud when he sees one.

Wow- that clip was real?

I never watch Larry King. Is he really like that? NBC execs probably cried themselves to sleep when Seinfeld ended. Like or dislike the show, you have to wonder what Larry was smoking.

Someone explain to me "Bee Movie Tv Juniors" They ran that for weeks during the Office. Most unfunny thing ever. Ever. Writers trying to write is only funny to other writers I guess. Ug.

He was being very "tongue in cheek" there. Overall, I like him. What I can't understand in the latest media blitz for the stupid movie. I'm surprised he hasn't done a g dam infomercial for it. I guess he's panicking that his net worth has dropped below 1/2 Billion or something.

Happy feet should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Cars both are at each end of the spectrum.

Bee's lands right between them, it was o.k. it was nto something I would go out of my way to see again (like cars) and it did not prompt me to try to stab myself in the chest with a concession stand straw. (like Happy feet)
