Total Shenaniganz Goingz On Here!

Here we have the final opening round head-to-head match up in the Allen bracket between 2001's Super Troopers and 2005's Waiting...
________________________________________________

Super Troopers was the first major film by the then unknown comedy trope "Broken Lizard". It was a box office smash hit, and quickly became a cult, and critcal sucesses. Green lit for $1.2 million, the movie earned 20 times+ that amount.

Damn that's a great movie!


Why should it move on?: Think about the classics. They have either high brow, or low brow humor, and this movie uses both like a samuri sword! The repeatable, yet not-annoying, catch pharses are greats. It may be able to stand the test of time. Check back in 10 years. How many other movies can say that they have Brian Cox pissing drunk?


Why Not?: Broken Lizard never really struck gold again like they did with Super Troopers. "Beerfest" and "Club Dread" we watchable, but didn't carry the magic like the first time around. This makes some consider Super Troopers a fluke.


DYK: The restaurant from "Waiting..." is mentioned in "Super Troopers" 


Favorite Scene: The meow scene always sat in a special place of my heart. I once dared a weatherman to say it as many times as possible on air in a single report. For the record he only got 4. (I hate the fact I couldn't find a better clip, but the audio will do just fine)

Waiting... is another independent smash hit directed, and written by Rob McKittrick.

Why should it move on?: If there anything this movie taught you (if you already didn't know), it's never be a douche to people who handle your food. Be honest, who hasn't worked in a place like this? Every time I see this movie, I tip my servers a little better for a month.

Why Not?: The story takes away from the high-jinks, but they're not in short supply. It's crude, but not the crudest. It's gross, but not the grossest. It spawned a direct-to-DVD sequel that some of the actors said they were "embarrassed" to be a part of.


DYK: It was made for $3 million, and earned double that in it's opening weekend, and $18 million overall at the box office. DVD sales have spiked the world gross to over $68 million.

Favorite Scene: Like Super Troopers, I had many scene's that left me laughing in tears. This is just one of them

So what's my choice?: Super Troopers. But not by a landslide. Waiting may had stood stronger with me if I had a job like their's. But I haven't been a Highway cop either meow, so I stand with the boys of Broken Lizard and my liter of Cola!
That is it for the opening round of of the Allen Bracket. Up next is the first round of the Brooks Bracket!


Am I right, am I dead wrong? Which indy flick do you repeat while at work the next day?
