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

Waiting for Anchorman 3: We've run out of new ideas.

So apparently you aren't supposed to keep cough syrup that expired in 2008 in your medicine cabinet. Go figure.

Although I have to say that that is AWESOME! We haven't used cough syrup since 2008 (or more likely 2007. Those things last forever.) So healthy! ^^

It was a bit of a shock when we cleaned out the cabinet though. I mean, we moved in 2011 or 12, so why wouldn't I have thrown it out then? Did I just chuck everything into a moving box without looking at any of it? Oops!

most medicines do not become toxic after expiring but they do lose potency ^^

This. I have had beer over a year old. Well pass expiration just doesn't taste very good.

Just got Bioshock Infinite for $8.00! :D

We're all entitled to our opinions, I realize Will has a massive cult following, don't really care.

I can't stand Will Ferrel so I'm with you on this.

For me Will Ferrell is hit or miss, like Adam Sandler. He's good with some things, but terrible with others.

I just don't see how slapstick requires much thought to put together so I wouldn't call it "genius"

Well if you put romance and comedy together you have a sappy not funny movie.

so I have this Rinoa Heartilly figure, I bought it at a flea market a year or two ago. I had it in a box for about a year, finally went to get it out and it's somehow missing it's arm. It looks creepy now, I don't want to chuck it, but I don't think I'll be able to find an arm...

I think I saw the arm some time ago, but not certain...

Like I said, we're all entitled to our opinions.

I'm not going to sit here and argue about it.

but a romance with no comedy is even less enjoyable, they kind of go hand in hand like comedy/tragedy, without any comedy you just have a tragic romance (or a boring one)

Some of Sandler's newer stuff I don't like so much. I think the last thing I saw of his that I enjoyed was Click.

What about vampire romance even better (nothing says romance like pasty white skin and terrible acting)

I think Will Ferrell stopped being good when he left SNL

That is the problem taking a SNL skit does not mean you will create a good movie.

Romance is another genre that I just can't handle. It's always the same story, over and over with slightly different plot twists. If there's any variation at all, it's that the guy is not as attractive as the girl. (Where are the cheesy movies about completely handsome men falling for average-looking women? Why is is always two beautiful people, or a beautiful woman with an average-looking man?)

And I think that romance movies contribute (ever so slightly) to women being nuts. She watches them and expects her guy to be as creepily "romantic" as the movie guy, or expects that he will react to her tantrums or whims like a romance movie guy instead of a real, flesh-and-blood gent with feelings. Why do girls think that guys have no feelings? It's not like in the movies where even if you rip his heart out of his chest and stomp on it, he'll still come crawling back for another shot. Real life men have feelings! For goodness sake, ladies.

It's just one of those things that if you've seen one, you've pretty much seen them all. And there's no action at all, they tend to be incredibly boring!

Blues Brothers was a great movie made after an SNL skit

I do have to admit though, that I did enjoy a romantic comedy once. It was with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, called 50 First Dates. It's kind of embarrassing to admit that I liked even one of them. >.> They are just so awful!

Curious Case of Benjamin Button is sorta a romance movie. Not ashamed to say I enjoyed it.

At least the romance in the movie seems real.

Liela, I'm shocked. The queen of the LoL thread doesn't like comedies? Madness. I could probably rant on and on about some of the things you said, but we're all entitled to our opinions. <3 You should try He's Just Not That Into you and New York, I Love you. Rom-coms. But they're good! The Ugly Truth is great as well.

I will say that Jim Carrey is amazing though. His scope definitely reaches beyond "slapstick". Even if you disagree with that, I'd still say he delivers it way better than most actors of the same type.

.-. I love movies. All kinds! Comedy, rom-com, action, thriller, horror, whatever. I'll give pretty much anything a try.

It's not hard to make me laugh, because my mind will make a joke out of just about anything. I love me some comedies, though they're not my favorite genre. I think my favorite comedies are definitely fusions of action and comedy. Things like Rush Hour, Red, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(1989).

To me, movies are very much an art form. You can have those critics who pore over every piece and dissect it in its entirety, finding every flaw and using that to twist and juxtapose a concept. On the one hand, I find critics are right, but on the other I feel that when it comes to movies and literature and art, it's very subjective and what one person could find awesome, another finds as idiotic. Now, there are those pieces that are just so flat-out stupid that everyone and their mother would immediately dismiss it in its entirety. Well, except my father. He genuinely loves those cheesy films. Some of his favorite movies are the ones that were made for the SciFi channel, or however they spell that ***nowadays.

What I like about films are their characters. I couldn't give a ***if they were fighting sex robots on Glarnax 7 or playing chess in the park. That ***doesn't matter to me. What does matter is the character and his interactivity within the environment. To me, the more realistic, the better. This is why I couldn't stand movies like Thor or Man of Steel. They're too perfect. They're these pretty boys who stave off waves of monsters while looking good and having basically hackneyed origin stories.

This is why I'm drawn to The Big Lebowski and actually a number of Cohen Brothers movies. These characters are so outlandish and yet down to earth at the same time. Take for instance The Dude. In the beginning of the movie he's seen as a lazy guy who just wants his rug back. It's a simple concept, really. He's broke as ***and he doesn't want urine on his rug. In complete honesty though, that was a bit of a stretch. If he really was an incredibly lazy dude, he would have just let the urine soak through and dry and not care. But that's the thing about him. He actually does care. Waaaaay too much. People think he's this zen, easygoing guy when in reality he's screaming and flailing around pretty much the whole movie. This starts to put me in his psyche. Why would a so called easygoing guy suddenly freak out so much during the movie? Was he always like this, or is this a special occasion? What would happen if he hadn't been in the situation he was thrown in? What kind of Dude would we have seen?

I'm not going to defend the movie. If you don't like it, then you don't like it and that's fine. You're allowed to dislike movies. Again, as I stated earlier, they're subjective. I can't stand anything that Quentin Tarantino puts his grubby little fingers on. The characters he creates are so unrealistic and over the top that I just can't get into them, and I end up hating them. Again though, that's just how I sees 'em.

I don't like comic book movies because I'm no longer 13.

I followed you until you started talking about movies and unrealistic in the same sentence as if you're shocked. They're movies. They should be this way unless a documentary or something. I really don't understand that at all. .-.

Kind of like when I had someone watch Clerks 2 and their response to not liking it was "That would never happen. A girl like that would never like a guy like that." (Maybe Liela should give this one a try, haha.) And other such things. Entitled to their opinion, sure. Doesn't mean it has to make sense to me!

Are you sure?

this wasn't an opinion, I'm just searching for tangible evidence of thought process required to make goofy faces.

Pretty sure 99.9%


When I don't like a movie I make up a better movie in my head while I'm watching it.
