I'm not sure if I'd call it a movie, really...
Really? How about one of my favorite things on VHS that's partly fact, partly fiction, that's silly and vastly entertaining?

I think the term "mockumentary" suits The Compleat Al best.
That's what Al called it, isn't it? hehe

i bought it from OwlsBook on Amazon.....it arrived today...the tape is in good condition, but the cover is missing, i think i will ask on that, can't remember they said in the description that the cover is missing...
but the "mock" is really good. i'm happy to have it, it was about 23 bucks, currently on amazon there are 7, from 24.99 - 54.75 $

God, I hate that. I don't often remember my dreams, but when I'm having a "good" one, it never fails that I'll be awoken by something...or nothing, for that matter. I always think if I just lay still and keep thinking about what I was dreaming about, I'll fall back into the dream. But, it never happens. I hate dreams.
taste is only something if it is yours.

It was spelled that way as kind of a parody of of "The Compleat Beatles", which was a documentary. It means the same thing as "complete". It's a funny video that I highly recommend, as long as you can find it at a fairly reasonable price, which I'm afraid is hard to do.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!

I don't know, I just know The Beatles had a documentary that came out in 1984 in which they spelled that word that way. Do you own a copy of The Compleat Al, or did you watch it somewhere else?
