About George
( wikipedia | imdb | dmoz )
I only discovered George Carlin in 2010, two years after his death. The first DVD of his that I watched—George's Best Stuff—made me howl. I plan to watch and review everything of his over the coming years.
Those who are interested in George's thoughts as mush as in his humor will want to watch Jammin' in New York, which, though not one of his funniest, brilliantly showcases the critical thinker at work.
George Carlin is said to have been born on Wednesday 12 May 1937 and to have died on Sunday 22 June 2008, at the age of 71 years, 1 months and 9 days.

who was involved?
Two teenagers in danger of failing their history report are rescued by a man from the future who sends them in a phone booth time machine to collect historical characters from various destinations in the past. Not a laugh-out-loud movie, but there are a couple of chuckles. It's cute and worth a watch if you're in a forgiving mood. It was fun to see a young Keanu Reeves, and even more fun to see George Carlin as the man from the future.

who was involved?
Set around a car wash business as the title suggests, this movie feels a bit like a sitcom condensed to the ninety minutes of a feature film. The antics of the staff are not hilarious, but the movie is fun for a number of reasons—the 1970s texture, the gritty working class setting, the African-American culture, a sighting of George Carlin and a pumping soundtrack. Car Wash!
