Went to see Borat over the weekend...an inappropriatly funny movie.  If you see it, or have seen it, you'll know what I mean.  
 
In the Revival scene, I believe I saw the headstock of an Alembic Spoiler on the music stage.  It was pointing straight up so I assume it was on a stand.  I watched very intently for any other shot of it but the one with the headstock showing was not repeated.  
 
They are out there!

Yet another 'Alembic' sighting, I posted a thread here that the doctor examining Peter Parker In Spiderman 2 had an alembic style tee shirt..did anyone notice that??

Saw Borat last night with my wife.  Funniest.  Movie.  Ever.  We're still laughing about it this morning.

John.
Go see jack Black's Pick of Destiny (tenacious D) movie. i promise you'll be rolling in the aisle;-)

I have no interest in seeing Borat or anything with Jack Black, David Spade, Rob Schneider, Ben Stiller, Keanuu Reeves, Will Ferell, Jon Lovitz, Pauly Shore and several other so-called actors. Hollywood has been turning out trash for many years. Don't waste your money on this crap.

Graeme,
 
My daughter wants me to see Pick of Destiny with her this afternoon.  I'm not a huge Tenacious D fan, but it looks like it'll be fun.

Kevin, I'll see your list and raise you Jim Carey, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams, Martin Short and Steve Martin.  Though I must confess that, while Jack Black generally makes me itch, he was great in High Fidelity.  And nominations for Funniest Movie Ever were closed the day The Big Lebowski was released.

I will stand up to defend Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Robin Williams, and Steve Martin.  I don't really know the others.  Those cats are genuinely funny (Tenacious D is genius), and I can't imagine life without a little silly laughter.

And Ben Stiller was in both There's Something About Mary and Flirting With Disaster, two of the most side-splittingest funny films I've ever seen.
 
Bill, tgo

Oh, that guy!  Yes, I agree: Ben Stiller is very funny!

I loved the hair cream scene in Something About Mary. I couldn't stop laughing!
Everybody has got a different take on comics.
My son still laughs when someone gets hit in the head. Slap-stick stuff. Nothing wrong with that!
To each their own. There's something for everyone.

Flirting with Disaster is a great movie. I will also say that Robin Williams, to my way of thinking, is a huge step above most of the others. He has done some very silly stuff, but rarely is he simply two dimensional and obnoxious as Jack Black and Jim Carrey can be.    
 
 
 
 
Steve Martin also has had some great roles against type-seeing him in The Spanish Prisoner, while not a great movies, was a huge change, plus the drummer in my high school band wrote and directed Novocaine, which starred Steve Martin and I thought he did a great job of interpreting the madness that is Dave Atkins.
 
Everybody's mileage varies here!

I recently saw a comic strip where two women are talking.  The first notes a recent study that found the average adult laughs 17 times per day, while the average kindergartener laughs 300 times each day.  The other woman asks: I wonder what the difference is?  To which the first replies: 283 fart jokes!
 
Bill, tgo

Where Tenacious D is concerned, their acoustic tunes seem lacking.  
 
I just heard their Christmas song, What I Want for Christmas, and the hard rocking side of them I like very much.  But, I don't seem to hear any Alembic in there.  Com'on Jack!
 
Steve Martin is a hell of a Banjo player, and played with Jerry once so there is a remote connection to Alembic.  
 
And There's Something about Alembic was a very funny movie.
