Fun Stuff > ENJOY
This is a joke. This is a MOTHERFUCKING JOKE.
Statik:
well, to be fair, the guy writing superhero movie is the guy who wrote Scary movie 3 and 4, and none of the other _______ Movie(s). To me, it looks a BIT (not much) better than the others, although still much more plain slapstick than anything else. I'd personally like to see Mel Brooks make a "Superhero Movie" because I think it could be a far better parody of the numerous superhero movies out currently. I shameless admit I attempted to watch the 300 ripoff, shit, I don't even remember the name of it, but got really annoyed about ten minutes in because none of the "actors" were "acting" and turned it off and deleted the file.
To be fair, and offer a counterpoint to my tastes, I haven't really enjoyed any "modern" american comedy. Pretty much every "comedy" made in the past 5 or so years has been incredibly tedious for me to even sit through the whole thing. Notable exceptions being Dodgeball and 40 year old virgin (which, despite being a comedy, I thought was a really good piece of social commentary as well).
Ozymandias:
Well, I think a lot of the actual funny has moved to television. It's a lot easier to build up character-based humor in a long-running format than a 2 hour movie, so movies are sometimes forced to fall back on dumb gags.
Alex C:
Consider Achewood. This far into the comic's run, half the Roast Beef jokes are tough to really appreciate if you aren't already aware of his many fears and insecurities. It takes a very deft screenplay and artful direction to achieve the same effect in a shorter format. It's often a make or break issue that seperates the good movies from the forgettable ones.
Jackie Blue:
I have never intentionally hurt anyone, emotionally or physically.
Sorry.
People who don't cause intentional harm are better than those who do. If you'd like to debate that, get back to me after you've taken some anthropology classes.
WriterofAllWrongs:
Dude what. That's bullshit. Everybody has intentionally caused harm of some kind at some point, in childhood especially.
