This is my main reason for watching old movies - to see the old cars.

No Terry, Leon Shuster, was NOT of the same caliber as Jamie Uys.

His stuff was legendary man. Possibly a little on the racist side.. The scene in Funny people when he hired the black guys to ice the cakes.. the conveyor belt. The icing gun that jams, and the exploding cakes.. Jeez I remember almost pissing myself that was so funny..

I watched Funny People over the weekend. I must say I enjoyed the air cooled content MUCH more than the gags. I prefer Schuster though.
