: Not having even the 'foggiest' idea is having no idea at all not even a badly formed, undefined one. : As for the second part, something that is 'foggy' is unclear, hard to discern - for fairly obvious reasons - so a foggy idea (if such a phrase existed) would be a vague one. Also, where did the phrase "I haven't the foggiest idea" come from? : : Where did the phrase "jibber jabber" come from? I need the year it first appeared.

Also, since Gru is effectively a good guy now in all these movies, they keep bringing in villains who are pretty weak.Posted by Victoria S Dennis on Novemat 16:32 The 2015 "Minions" film was not only charming and stupid but somewhat fascinating in its long stretches of near-silence, with little more than gibberish and musical cues propelling forward whatever passed for a story. Perhaps the biggest disappointment in "Rise of Gru" might be nitpicking, but there's too much talking this time around. These Minion adventures have a zany, anarchic feel that is as close as modern pop culture gets to the heyday of the Marx Brothers or classic Looney Tunes, and this is something both freeing and empowering for kids, who need to laugh at the absurdities of life just like the rest of us. Parents, meanwhile, might enjoy random references to "Nashville," Don Rickles, and "Star Wars: A New Hope." But honestly, the biggest thank you to them for forking over north of ten bucks per ticket is the laughter of their children, which will be plentiful. Vincent covering "Funkytown" (there are contemporary artists covering '70s classics throughout) or new Minion Otto (he has braces) is joining in on a group rendition of Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia." The musical cues are also inspired, whether Kevin, Stuart, and Bob are rocking out to St. The core audience won't care, because all that stuff is very funny. The Vicious 6 are interested in (what else?) world domination Wild Knuckles is desperate to prove that his best days aren't behind him Gru, who idolizes the supergroup, botches a job interview with them, then sets out (with and without the Minions) at 11 years old to live out his childhood wish and become the greatest supervillain of all time.īut come on, who's kidding who here? All of the aforementioned is simply an excuse to have the Minions learn kung fu, make Pet Rock jokes, and indulge in a James Bond-inspired intro that might be the best opening credits of any film this year. The film sets into motion a trio of intersecting plotlines that revolve around the Zodiac Stone, a supernatural McGuffin that everyone wants and the Minions can't seem to hold on to. Their boss is an older, "Easy Rider"-type hero (voiced by Alan Arkin) named Wild Knuckles, who is betrayed in the film's opening moments and effectively replaced by disco-loving Belle Bottom (Taraji P.
There's metal-handed Stronghold (Danny Trejo), roller-skating Swede Svengeance (Dolph Lundgren), lobster-clawed Frenchman Jean Clawed (Jean-Claude Van Damme), and best of all, an evil nun named Nunchuck (Lucy Lawless) who wields her namesake. "Rise of Gru" begins in 1976, with the audience quickly introduced to the "Vicious 6," a supergroup of villains, one more colorful than the next.
