Yeah, the guy took a weird accordion comedy bit and turned it into something awesome.

while it wasn't the best movie ever, the Al Yankovic Story with Daniel Radcliffe wasn't bad either, it has its moments loll.

exactly, and most of the time he isn't really making a parody of the artist or the lyrics themselves, he just chooses a random different topic and makes a whole new song out of it. the dude is actually very talented, considering everything he's done imho.

I enjoyed it for what it was, a parody of Al himself.

I'm guessing they used some sort of foam, and not actual heavy wooden beams lol.



also it is an awesome video indeed, a Weird Al classic for sure. fun fact, Coolio wasn't down with him making the parody at first, but changed his mind later on.

Maybe. The classic silent film crazies used real props, just had to trust the math. Buster Keaton was a beast.

Radcliffe has turned out to be really good at physical comedy.

Seems like the type to do it. Did you see the method acting he did for "Fat?" Had to eat enough to gain 500lbs while still being able to dance! Daniel Day Lewis has nothing on him.

For sure Marner.

Was gonna say Nylander, but he is the only one that kinda shows up in the playoffs.

- Mashadar

and depth players playing above their heads. the top players tend to cancel each other out.

i don't get all the negatives about matthews. ovi couldn't win either.

- Gramps28



there a difference between not winning it all, as we all know its extremely difficult and crash and burn in the first round with "big" team, most of the time when they were leading the series !

that 1-3 comeback from the habs against the laffs a few years ago was pretty sweet.

anyway I'd obviously never cheer for them, but if they ever did go for a deep playoff run and I had to choose between them and another team in Florida, I'd probably wish the team from Canada wins...

Sure.

But the "anyone but the Leafs, Bruins or Sens" rule still applies.
