Best Spoof Ever

I first saw this movie in 1988 or so. It has since that day, been one of my all time favorites. I have owned it on video tape for the past decade or so, and really wish they would release on DVD.

On June 17th, I watched it for the first time in a couple of years. It freaked me out. This fantastically funny corporate spoof, is so Halliburton/GE that don't know what to say.

That aside, if you have not seen this, search it out and watch it. You will thank yourself. Any effort put into finding it will be rewarded many fold over.

The case alone should tell you that something was right here.

Judge Reinhold
Danny DeVito
Jane Seymour
Eddie Albert
Rick Moranis
Don King
Brian Doyle-Murray
Don Novello (of Father Guido Sarducci fame)
Wallace Shawn

The comedy and tragedy, all wrapped into a surreal piece of work, shadowing the future with it's echos of the past.

Yes, but more than half of the people on that list are only in the movie for a few minutes at most and the ending, or lack there of, seems abrupt and "tacked-on".
