The Calamari Wrestler

I don't know Japanese, but I know what I like.



I love the Rockyesque training sequence, and the kiss on the nose at 1:01. Best of all, the other actors play it absolutely straight. As anyone who's seen Airplane! knows, the second you acknowledge that something's funny, it instantly becomes half as funny.

Tomorrow's comedy math lesson: The Rule of Three. Either that or the sequel to this. Wait for it...
