My Cousin Vinny vs South Park

This is a match up of two movies that shocked the Oscars.

My Cousin Vinny


Why should it move on?: This is a role that Joe Pesci was born for. The acting with he, and the late Fred Gwynne, make some of the best film-making ever. "Two Youts" along with other lines are some of the most memorable. Marisa Tomei is easy on the eyes too, and she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, which to this day some believe there is a conspiracy surrounding it.

Why Not?: Anyone got anything?..........


DYK:Joe Pesci "reprises" the roll on a CD called "Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings For You" with the same character but as a lounge singer style.

South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut

Why are people applauding 2 minutes in?

Why should it move on?: Yes, that is the Oscars, and yes that song was nominated for Best Song. 
Which I found shocking because Hollywood acted terrified of the FCC at the time, and South Park was everything they hated! But the movie- It was what I expected it to be: A cused filled, musical about boys wanting to sneak into movies..... actually, not what I expected.
 
Why Not?: It didn't really deliver anything new that fans of South Park haven't seen before. Some of the shows are more shocking then the entire movie.
 
DYK: The movie holds the world record for most swearing in an English speaking movie (399 profane words). The word "fuck" alone is said 139 times (not a record, not even in top 100- 1999's Summer of Sam- 435 times, non-documentary). With the running time of the film, it averages to a profane word about every 6 seconds.

So it is The Lying Lawyer from NY, or the Cussing Kids from The Rockies?
