Saturday morning I spent 2 hours battling a hangover. Nothing is worse than a pounding headache, dry mouth, no desire to move off of the couch and a scattered recollection of the previous night. Fortunately for me, Ernest Scare Stupid was on “On Demand”, making the hangover a bit more bearable.
During this cinema blockbuster it occurred to me; Jim Varney had an outstanding acting career, all things considered. I say all things considered because the odds were stacked up against Varney. He was pretty hideous, had a wicked smokers voice and he was horrendous at impressions (ok, he had a few good ones). Despite these set backs, he was still able to pump out 9 “Ernest” movies. That’s right, there were 9 of them!!!
Sure, the last few movies look like they were filmed on a Sony Handicam and cost about $250 to produce, but the point is that he stuck with it. That being said, I feel that Jim Varney deserves an official BigPlansBigCrash tribute.
Since I lack the ability to construct a video montage of his best scenes, I am merely holding a poll for his best movie. And sharing this killer “Ewwww” clip.
Jim Varney, we salute you.
