The Burgomaster

I remember watching this a couple of times in my catechism classes when I was around 8 years old.  I guess I didn't get the message because I haven't been to church more than a handful of times since I was a teenager.  Every time I think about going to church, I say to myself, "I can either go to church or stay home and watch MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE (or some equally crappy movie)."  Guess where I end up every time?

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Best thing was when the Critic went into this, not realizing it was the horrible sequel (revenge of the balloon, something like that).  It had Steven Seagal, and he delievers some horrible line to a general, "There's more than just that ballon that's full of hot air".  Good stuff.

Jim H,

That was my inital thought.  I remember that episode quite fondly.  If I'm not mistaken it's the move that they go see when The Critic takes his son and his son's g/f to the movies.  

Hilarious stuff.

A bald man named Savalas visited me last night in a dream.  I think it was a Telly vision.
