Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Reason it got 10% from critics...


As for me I'm extremely critical of movies. If I'm going to waste 2 plus hours it better be damn good. I would never go to a movie without reading reviews of it.

So that eliminates about 95% of the movies made that I actually enjoy.

You're critical and actually enjoy The Big Lebowski?

/rolls eyes

fair enough.

A lot of people did enjoy Napoleon Dynamite, but I usually use that as a stupidity test.

There is a fine line between so bad it is good and just dumb for the sake of being dumb.

I would say in general I don't watch comedy movies. Because of that rule.


Not a fan of Anchornman Hangover etc.

I only liked Anchorman because I know a guy who looked exactly like the character irl.

Remember the boss in Office Space. My manager from a long time ago looked like him if he was a woman. It was scary.

She even had the same glasses.

I'm gonna buy me one of those staplers for work, that reminded me :p

I usually dislike comedies as well. Napoleon Dynamite was so boring to me that I didn't even watch it all the way to the end. I don't even know what genre it was. Is "boring" a genre? Most comedies to me just seem dumb. I dislike that curly-haired guy who played in Elf as the elf, and I dislike Jim Carrey. I've never seen the Big Lebowski, so I couldn't say one way or the other. Mag likes it, so it can't be half bad!

But it just seems like if a show is a comedy for the sake of being a comedy, then they try so hard to make it funny that they reduce it down to being about funny faces (which to me stopped being funny when I was 10 or 11.) For example:



If it's a movie that is a story with some comedy on the side (as opposed to being a comedy with some story on the side) then I like it better. The "comedies" I like aren't even usually labeled as comedies, I don't think. I love the first Ghostbusters movie, and I would label that a comedy. I love Gross Point Blanke, which is not a comedy (I think?) but I would call it that. I love RED, which is not labeled as a comedy but is comedic to me.

I think the only comedy labeled as a comedy that I really like is The Blues Brothers.

Anyone hear from vyre lately?

I would say that if you do it, do it before the weather gets too bad and then tip them extra well. Stay safe and warm! You're the only Schizm we have and we want to keep you!

He recently had some activity on Facebook. Um... according to my FB logs, that was 11 hours ago. I hope he's safe and well!

Vyre is in the process of moving. He was posting last night.

Ah, bummer. I hope he has safe travels and is back with us soon.

Very well said.

Actually the worst movie I've ever watched was Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I could go on and on about it but it was just terrible.

Russel Brand might be the worst actor/ person I've ever seen.

afternoon ^^

Russell Brand = the original Captain Jack Sparrow

I don't know Brand just comes across as a giant douche. The only reason I know who he is because of Katy Perry.

Somebody asked me to do something at work awhile back, and then after it in the email said "that would be great" referencing if it could be done the next day.

I did it about a month later...

ND isn't a comedy, it's a farce.

Will Ferrell is a moron, and the only role he's done that I've enjoyed is the Bush skit.

Jim Carrey on the other hand is a genius...

Red is hilarious.

Well I feel like a derp, was going to try out a private server, did a full install/update, config and everything only to find out that they got a c&d months ago...

I has a sad.

so Will Ferrell is a moron and Jim Carrey is a genius? ....slapstick=genius? ....kay :|
