Drifter 851 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Watched bad neighbours and boy was it dreadful, I really think they just cannot make comedies anymore. I totally agree with ya there, I've been saying that for years now. Comedies these days rely on two things, immature toilet humor and in your face blatant slapstick. Neither comes across as funny to anyone with an IQ above the freezing mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're watching the wrong comedies then Steve. Have you seen 21 Jump Street? The Hangover? (not sure the hangover would be your kind of film though). I do agree that there are too many shit comedies nowadays. Same goes for TV shows. You ever seen Bob's Burgers? It's terrible. Honestly the ad alone made me want to fall asleep. Reviews? 8.1 on IMDB. EIGHT POINT ONE. Unfuckingbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 21 Jump Street was fucking horrible Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,720 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I enjoyed 'one hot american summer' the series. The premise of adults playing children was done quite well I thought. This country used to make great comedies but it's mostly just panel shows now with humour replaced by 'banter'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter 851 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 The very first "Hangover" was OKAY, but defiantly not a great comedy by any means IMO. The 2nd and 3rd ones sucked hard. 21 Jump Street....Sorry Dave I'm with Bart on this one. I didn't care for it at all myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberninja2601 1,105 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 21 jump was awesome. Especially the car chase in the Peter pan costume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Watched "The Admiral" with my wife last night Amazing movie, really well done, sadly it didn't cover as much of the infighting happening in the Netherlands, as it could have, or show the breaking of hte Dykes which stopped the French advance in the south. Still though, really accurate for what it covers Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Commander_Undies 618 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I love Bob's Burgers. I'm actually 3 episodes away from being caught up with it. [emoji14] Comedies nowadays just don't compare to older ones. I'll constantly go back to old ones and replay them over and over. Wish I could say the same about modern ones.

Drifter 851 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Watched "The Perfect Guy" tonight. Michael Ealy is probably the best actor I have ever seen play the Stalker/Psyco killer role. I use to watch the Tv series with Kevin bacon called the Following and in the final season Michael Ealy played a psycho serial killer in that and I was amazed how good he was in that role. This movie in The Perfect Guy is almost the exact same role for him and he just nails it. The dude plays the crazy killer role to a friggin' tee.

Sennex 1,903 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I rented Gods of Egypt, and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, last night. Haven't had a chance to watch either, but I will today at some point Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

Drifter 851 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 Be sure to let me know how Gods of Egypt was. I have been thinking of getting that to watch as well because I like Gerald Butler in that type of role but haven't really heard any feedback about that one yet.

Diddums 4,336 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Steve will love it. He loved the grey too, another film which I thought was crap. Different strokes for different folks and all that. I'd imagine that Steve would turn 21 Jump Street off, whereas I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter 851 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Yep the Grey, Everest, A River Runs Through it, The Hunter... and movies such as that are my taste for sure. Not a fan of the slap stick blatant in your face type comedies of these days, or the CGI-fest that so many action movies are now. To me it seems like most movies these days are made for people where you have to turn your mind off to watch it. That's not why I watch movies. I think it's just a progression in taste, as we age our taste progress to different things. I still enjoy some of the stuff out there that has CGI and lots of action in it, I liked Guardians of the Galaxy, and I liked Jurassic World, but these days I tend to enjoy a movie more for a well written plot, good acting, and great scenery more than anything else.

Drifter 851 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Star Trek III Search for Spock. - Hadn't seen it in about 30 yrs but picked the dvd up at a garage sale over the weekend for $1 and just watched it today. Forgot how much I enjoyed the old 80's Star Trek movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 That was the last decent one. Don't get me wrong I love them all, but going back in time for whales? Really? Also not a fan of the reboots sadly Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
