Watched: Stripes

Classic stupid comedy. This comes from the guy who made Meatballs and Cannibal Girls (WHICH I WATCHED, and it was terrible, which is to say, awesome) and Harold Ramis/Bill Murray, post-Animal House, pre-Ghostbusters. They're on their game here, and the movie features what is perhaps one of my favorite pieces of badinage:

John Winger: Come on. Let's take the truck.
Russell Ziskey: No.

John Winger: Yes.
Russell Ziskey: No.
John Winger: Yes.
Russell Ziskey: No.
John Winger: Yes.
Russell Ziskey: No.
John Winger: I'll drive.


So simple, so stupid, so silly, and yet... Classic.
