only took an extra year to iron out the kinks. 

funny, i actually just noticed that my original post was on may 3rd and this comes out on may 3rd so it literally was a year.

another fun fact, on may 2nd, i'm seeing seinfeld, gaffigan, maniscalco, and bargatze at the hollywood bowl.

there's no trailer yet, but for those who haven't heard, seinfeld wrote and directed a film about the creation of the pop-tart, centering around the rivalry between post and kellogg's that took place in michigan in the 1960's.

it's a netflix film, but not sure if it will come out in theaters as well.  there doesn't seem to be a release date announced yet.

anyhow, i saw a screening of this last night.  it has a monster cast and it's everything you want/expect it to be.

I like to toast the ever living hell out of a couple of strawberry pop tarts and pile some Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream on top. No Blue Bell mind you because fuck aggy

i watched it last night and laughed my ass off.  i thought it was hilarious.  its ron burgundy/dumb and dumber kind of dumb, but as long as you arent expecting something highbrow you should be fine.  ironically, jerry seinfeld is the worst actor in the movie and probably the least funny.  i do agree with one of the posters above that commented about the target age demographic.  it definitely helps to be over 50 to get this era of american society.   last comment: hugh grant was almost academy award worthy.  great performance from him in this.

Saw it last night and loved it.  Completely absurd.  There's nothing ironic about the bolded.  That has always been the case, including the show.  That's kind of the point.  What a killer cast.

Yup, commented on the Netflix thread, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and the critics are way overthinking things, as usual. I didn't get the feeling that you had to have lived through the 60's to understand the references, but maybe I'm the minority. Agree on Hugh Grant, he was really funny.

Not even in the same universe.

So do you think they got shrunk down or is it just a giant sack?

I don't know. I tried to go see it, but when I called Moviephone, I got the wrong start times. 

For the record, "Why don't you just tell me what movie you want to see?" might be my favorite Seinfeld line ever. That and "I'm out!"

Those two and "The sea was angry that day my friends" monologue (that Jerry, Larry et al wrote overnight and Alexander memorized and nailed in about 20 minutes) are all top 5 moments.
