Posted: 2/25/06 at 2:16amOne of the funniest things ever, no? I think it is pure genius, and almost funnier than the entire film. I adore Parker Posey.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

I can't remember if it's on the commentary or not, but she wrote that monologue herself and asked them if she could do it. Bob Balaban and Christopher Guest had not seen it, so their reactions (which are pretty priceless) are real as that was all one take.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 11:49amParker Posey is a comedy genius. Love her.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Love.
So brill.
Parkey Posey in general (LOVED her on W&G - "If you ever ask me for another Friday night off, I will go carnival freak crazy on your ass. I'm serious. I will scratch your eyes out,"), but this monologue is especially amazing.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 2:03pmProbably the most genius comedy I have ever seen. That's cool, bwaysinger. I never knew that.

It's on the commentary. I could watch that scene over and over.
I can't wait for the new movie!

Posted: 2/25/06 at 2:06pmEh, I have the ghetto VHS edition from way back. I'm too poor to buy a DVD right now, so I haven't been able to watch the commentary. Perhaps I should invest?

Posted: 2/25/06 at 2:48pmJustagirl, It is worth the money. Search Amazon or Half.com, I'm sure you can find a cheap copy. The cut scenes are just as funny as the film.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 2:50pmThanks, will do. I went on a shoe spree the other day, so I'm pretty much penniless. I've seen the cut scenes, but it was at a friend's house a while ago. I definately want my own copy.

Posted: 2/25/06 at 4:07pmOh, I love Parker Posey! I got my headshots the same place she did, and they have her picture on the wall. She is sooo cute! (and pretty!)
And.....SCENE!
