...saying, “His ass is mine!” but what you’ll hear is, “His butt is mine!” It’s painfully obvious and very funny. In a similar vein, Al Green actually stops by for a cameo performance and proceeds to do some of the worst lip-synching I have ever seen. It’s sad to see the Reverend making a fool out of himself, but at the same time he adds some much needed comic relief...

Most impressively, the film also boasts more cameos than two viewings of Around the World in 80 Days. Billy Zane, Andy Dick in a fat-suit and David Bowie make the meatiest appearances. (When Bowie walks onscreen, the camera freezes the frame and scrawls his name across the screen, just as Mark Hammill is treated in Kevin Smith’s Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back—What’s the deal here? Are they afraid people don’t recognize celebrities any more?) In fact, Natalie Portman ’03 has a fun blip-cameo...

...Tips for hipsters The last movie with any sort of non-superhero, "underground" comix origin seems to be "Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat," a 1974 sequel to "Fritz the Cat," based on the Robert Crumb character. Am I wrong? Write me Watch for Clowes' artwork making a cameo in Seymour's "Cook's Chicken Inn" scrapbook as well as a masterfully saccharine unicorn in an art display. Similarly, Robert Crumb's daughter, Sophie, contributed all of Enid's drawings. Lastly, stick through the end credits for an alternate Seymour scene...

...Hitchcock wasn't all about seriousness and suspense. His trademark, a cameo in each of his films, shows the director's admiration of a good joke. His role as a casual passerby - as a man reading a newspaper or a passenger on a train - recurs 32 times in one room of the exhibition. The deliberateness of the gag is at its height in the 1944 film Lifeboat: an ad for a weight-loss program printed on the back of a survivor's newspaper features the portly director and his famous gut - in before and after poses...
