    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The title comes from a William Goldman quote from his book "Adventures in the Screen Trade", where he says that "the single most important fact, perhaps, of the entire movie industry" is that 'nobody knows anything'. If there is a Roman numeral I to this book, that's it.... Not one person in the entire motion picture field knows for a certainty what's going to work. Every time out it's a guess and, if you're lucky, an educated one."

      Virus: Hey, I got one for ya. If you had to blow some guy, who would it be?

      Jimmy: Excuse me?

      Virus: Say you have to blow some guy, who would you pick?

      Jimmy: I don't have to blow some guy.

      Virus: Yeah I know you don't have to, but if you did, who would it be?

      Jimmy: I try not to entertain that thought, and I don't think it's healthy when you do it.

      Virus: C'mon, entertain it for a second; they got a gun to your head.

      Jimmy: Well, if they got a gun to my head, odds are I'll be blowin' one of them.

      Virus: You're missing my point.

      Jimmy: Your point? I didn't realize there was a point.

      Virus: Forget about it. All right?

      Jimmy: Nah- All right. Who are they - friends of yours?

      Virus: No.

      Jimmy: This doesn't make any sense.

      Virus: I don't know. Look, they're just guys, all right? They're like bored frat guys, they're out on a drinking binge looking for something to do, and somebody gave 'em a gun.

      Jimmy: I give up. Who do I want to blow?

      Virus: I dunno.

      Jimmy: See? Neither do I.

    Brilliant
    I thought this movie was loads of fun, though seeing the reviews I guess it's not for people who don't enjoy low-key send-ups of the entertainment business. This movie is like seeing all those situations and people that are usually stuck in here and there in a big action flick (or The Simpsons) to get in a slam to Hollywood culture, all strung together, but instead of being tongue-in-cheek, relentlessly sincere. Maybe the bad reviews reflect that it hasn't attracted its audience because of the way they marketed it -- they should be trying to get a Woody Allen crowd, perhaps? The cast is made up of extremely talented comedy stars and well-known character actors, each one bigger than the last, who play their characters so low-key and real. So much so, that the little ironies don't seem set up, they seem accidental like they should be but never are in comedy films. And a big surprise to me was how entertaining Margaret Cho was, as I'm not a huge fan of her stand-up.
