robertoart Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 There's not enough Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks love on this thread On a thread entitled 'Stupidest Comedy Movie Ever', that's a good thing, isn't it? Although I admit, after seeing Silent Movie on DVD, I'd give Brooks an honorable mention. In the theater, it was hilarious; watching it alone was one big bore. You're right! I like thinking about all the good comedies i've seen, I've forgotten what the thread is actually about. BTW, Evil Roy Slade is definitely a 'good' comedy. Kind of an embryonic template for some of the 'dumb and dumber' style comedies being discussed on this thread. That's if you haven't seen it all ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasstrack Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 HAVE you guys considered the notion that finding something hilarious one day then leaving you cold another may well have more to do with where YOU were at at given points than the piece? That's true for opinions on anything, and maybe it wasn't mention b/c it's so obvious. But we love, hate, become indifferent-like the changing seasons. Now excuse me. I promised myself I'd read some Rod McCuen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promised myself I'd read some Rod McCuen... True that. I remember seeing Jacques Tati's Mr. Hulot's Holiday when I was in college and laughing my ass off. I saw it about 20 years later and was bored to the point of distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasstrack Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 People who aren't restless spirits-whose minds can keep still are lucky in that they get more peace. I don't fall into that category, so to keep myself anchored I try to stay in tune with the basics. There's a reason Woody Allen in his primd or early Bob Hope are still loved: it's funny b/c all the basic truths are there. Your head is always going to be in different places, as I said. Maybe that's good b/c you'll see something in your current state you couldn't before. Art works, especially ones preserved for future viewing or hearing, don't change. WE change. Somebody once said 'we don't look at art. Art looks at us. And now someone should send this thread and my ponderous post to Adam Sandler. So he can open a brew, fart, say WTF?
