You’re probably right. I just remembered that there was a set-up for the Cheez Whiz toss, and that by cutting out the set-up it became a funny moment.

I only saw The Blues Brothers for the first time about a month ago, but didn’t the Cheez Whiz scene occur just before or after the scene of Elwood’s last day at the factory? Elwood walks into the factory, grabs a bunch of cans off an assembly line, stuffs them into his briefcase, and then walks into his boss’s office to say that he’s quitting to become a priest.

Anyway, what I got from the juxtaposition of the Cheez Whiz and the factory scene was that Elwood had made a habit of stealing cans of stuff off the assembly line. And this was in turn a setup for the scene where, prior to the car chase, Elwood sprays lubricant on the police cruiser’s wheels and superglue on the Good Ol’ Boys’ accelerator.

Now that I think about it, that’s probably not right, because what kind of place packages aerosol superglue and Cheez Whiz in the same factory?

Saw this movie last night. It was absolutely hilarious. My friends and I were doubled over with laughter a handful of times and laughing out loud the rest. There are few comedies in my blu-ray/DVD collection, this one is going to be purchased the moment it comes out.

Would love to, but sadly, AMC’s matinees end at 6 and I don’t think the Arclight even has matinees.

Besides, I’m not behind the plate till Thursday.

About six months or so ago, I saw the director’s cut of Blues Brothers. (I preferred the original.)

It included an earlier scene where the old guy asked them to get him some Cheez Whiz. And by cutting out that scene, it was “out-of-the-blue” enough to be very funny.

Just eject both coaches for spurrious reasons in the early innings and you can save some money and catch a matinee.

The back half of my umping games got canceled tomorrow night, so will be off to a night in the theater once we call the last out in the 6:00 game.

Love that scene and actually quote it often. Significance, though? No idea. Maybe he wanted the whippet?
