I don't read reddit, but sometimes someone shares something with me and I feel the need to let certain people know.

You know who you are.

I am Tommy Swerdlow, writer of Cool Runnings, Little Giants and Shrek… I wrote them all strung out on heroin, AMA!


yul brenner wrote the Jamacia, we have a bobsled team song



Which one was the most fun to write (while on heroin I guess)?

cool runnings is my favorite.


i originally had sanka having sex with scandinavian ski bunnies until they made me take it out. you must have been channeling it subconsciously.


What is your inspiration with the movie Shrek?

it's a book that i was hired to turn into a movie. the movie i based the relationship on between the donkey and shrek is midnight cowboy.

I can't begin to quantify how much ILF has enriched my life. But this thread is an example of how.

Went to bump this thread--yeah, I've seen permanent midnight. It's ok. The trailer might be better than the movie.

Anyway:

The Jamaican team is one good weekend away from qualifying a two-man sled for the Sochi Olympics, in what would be the island nation's first appearance since the 2002 games. They just might not have the money.

There's a Jamaican joint down the street from me called Cool Runnings.... it sucks!! Their goat is wack and the jerk chicken is sub par. And the service is shitty, even for a Jamaican place. I can say its the least exciting Jamaican place to eat in the city.... I wouldn't send my white mother to eat there......

You want something good you go to Jerk King and get the goat with rice and peas, they have two locations, Dufferin and Bathurst. The Dufferin one is way better.... but both are pretty badass..... their curried chicken roti is actually fucking hot if you tell them you want it hot, but not white person hot..... you have to tell them that or they know you're a pussy..... and when you get the goat if they tell you it's got bones in it that's their way of saying "hey you white pussy this shit is the real deal"

I haven't seen any of these movies......

I've never had Jamaican goat, but slow cooked in an Indian style curry (pick one) its pretty amazing.
Nothing wrong with goat.

You should check that shit out mate, it's killer. I think I'm gonna grab one today on my way to band practice and really jerk up our practice space....7

My wife only eats the jerk chicken which is good too but you need to mix it up every now and again...... their curried chicken roti is fucking awesome though, so good.... but you gotta lay off the chick peas, that shit is not cool with me......

I had the fucking worst meatball sandwich yesterday, I wanted to slap the guy who made it for me. Meatballs are more than ground beef mashed into a ball.... I demand vengeance.....
