In a perfect world, Friday would be the day we stop worrying, shut off our brains, and seek the rest and relaxation we sorely need. Unfortunately, in today’s world, we’re using too busy getting drunk, trying to get laid, and worrying about if our jobs will be there on Monday. To help purge the bad thoughts,I will conclude every Friday on this blog with a story that will hopefully help to put things in perspective, and shut off the delta brain waves without the need for chemical enhancement, a moment Zen you won’t get on The Daily Show.
From Wikipedia:
Chairman of the Board is a 1998 movie starring Courtney Thorne-Smith and Carrot Top in which a surfer/inventor (Carrot Top) inherits and runs a billionaire’s company. To some critics, it is considered Carrot Top’s rendition of Billy Madison. It was poorly received by critics and moviegoers alike.
The movie cost an estimated $10,000,000 to produce, but made $306,710.[1]
…The movie appears in IMDB’s top 20 worst rated films of all time[3]. Comedian and former Mystery Science Theater 3000 host Michael J. Nelson named the film the fifth worst comedy ever made.[4]
So why does this merit Brain Detox Friday? Because Norm MacDonald, as usual, called it months beforehand, and broke all the showbiz rules in doing so:
I do hope Courtney Thorne-Smith has spoken to Norm since this night. I’d like to think she has a sense of humor about herself. Have a good weekend everybody
