I've only ever seen Ernest Goes to Camp when I was kid and stopped 'cause the rest looked too silly. (Insert Graham Chapman as the military instructor here.)<br /><br />By the way, while I was reading, the song Silent Night was playing in the background of my inlaw's house. That helped give your article an extra oomph in the emotional department.

I've only ever seen his first movie, ERNEST GOES TO CAMP (in a theater in NY, so that speaks to his national prominence at the time) and I don't remember a thing about it, though I'm relatively certain I enjoyed it then (I think I was 11 or 12 when it came out, I'm too lazy to look it up). I absolutely love everything you say here about the lack of cynicism in his character, and it makes me truly want to take another look at the movies. <br /><br />Excellent piece, Heath. Merry Christmas to you & your family (and the entire F This Movie! family while we're at it). Tremendous positivity like this is what keeps so many of us coming back here, and it never stops feeling like a special place to be.

It became like a forbidden form of entertainment. <br /><br />Now it makes me hard as a f***in' rock. JK...I was watching Don Jon and couldn't resist.<br /><br />Happy Holidays my friend!Adam Riskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165600746796326821noreply@blogger.com
