Brady Bunch Movies

14 episodes of Cursade - dead

[/quote]

"Cursade"? Freudian slip? BTW, there were only 13 completed Crusade episodes.

As for Gary...

Midnight Caller ran longer than a season, didn't it? And the Brady Bunch films have done well at the box office. Don't think you can blame him for the TV shows. American Gothic was too out-there to find a big enough audience, Crusade was axed before anybody saw Gary in it.
As far as I know he was one of the few things TNT didn't complain about or try to change. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hmm. When it comes to the curse of Gary Cole, be surprised with NOTHING. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/devil.gif

Besides, 360 degrees is such a great thing for an algebra/trigonometry instructor.

How better to illustrate the point, eh? /forums/images/graemlins/devil.gif

Just gotta remember in math it is always counter-clockwise. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I can see the local paper headlines one fine morning after one of your classes, hypatia...

STUDENTS INJURED IN MATHS TUTORIALS
A dozen maths students were injured when trying to imitate their lecturer in a trigonometry discussion. The students attempted to rotate their heads 270 degrees after the lecturer sucessfully rotated hers to demonstrate a point.

I'm going to regret saying this, I know I am, but I'm going to say it anyway:

Serves them right. /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif I thought everyone knew that if you are not properly posessed, you should NEVER try the head-rotation thingy. /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

They must have missed out on the 'Possession for Dummies' books. It's what I always say, young people just don't read enough! /forums/images/graemlins/devil.gif

Re: Am I the only one who thought the movie funny?

If you hate the Brady Bunch, you should love the movie.

It was a perfect mockery of the whole series, complete with canned music from the show and even some recycled storylines that play out a little differently than they did the first time.

The funniest concept was that they when the take the so-called normal 1960s-70s family and move them into the 1990s, they become the neighborhood equivalent of The Addams Family.

And I thought Gary Cole's Mike Brady performance was spot-on. He's like a friggin' chameleon under that wig.

I guess we could have done without "A Very Brady Sequel", but even that one had some funny stuff in it.
 
Re: Am I the only one who thought the movie funny?

If you go here GC interview and page down about half-way, you can hear Gary's own comments about playing the role /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Please don't talk about the poor man being cursed! I think he must worry about that himself sometimes, but if you think of some of the successes he's been involved with (if only peripherally) since Crusade (The Gift, One Hour Photo, Frazier, The Practice) I don't think you could say he's cursed /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It was also well written, well acted, intelligent and very, very darkly funny. Way over the heads of too many viewers /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
 
Goodness gracious! I've never in my life read a post so filled with satanism, head spinning, blood vomiting and The Brady Bunch. Indeed, I am home, at last. I love you all. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The Brady movies are horrorible, but intentionally so, as opposed to the show which was just plain horrorible.

Gary Cole is a fine actor. I remember reading interviews in which folks working on the set of "Midnight Caller" stated that they were amazed by his performance in the pilot in which his character accidentially shot and killed his police partner.

And how slimey and hateful was he in "Office Space?" He played the vile, heartless, mid-level exec to perfection. A very likeable actor playing against type and succeeding admirably.

Sadly, I missed out on American Gothic. Upon hearing that it was written (produced?) by Sean Cassidy, I slipped into "Disco Denial" and forgot the show ever existed. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
