    If it’s good— and it makes money— that’s all you need to start a trend. Pulp Fiction made everyone want to make a hip, violent low-budget indie flick with lots of snappy dialogue. Iron Man and The Dark Knight were released within weeks of each other and then became superheroes “with a sense of humour” or “thought-provoking reflections” of modern society. (Rolls eyes)

    We forgot to just make movies that were made to make us straight-up laugh. It costs enough money, let us have FUN again when we go to the theatre and who cares about it having any message.

    Like, for example, Spaceballs.

    Comedy is my favorite genre. Most of my favorite films are comedies that came out during the '90s and the aughts (e.g. Happy Gilmore, Dirty Work, Road Trip, the American Pie films). But isn't the reason that these types of movies aren't really being made anymore because they're not big money makers for the studios?

    I do really miss these kinds of films. I think that the last comedies that I really liked were Clerks II and Borat, but those came out all the way back in 2006. Horrible Bosses, Hall Pass, 21 & Over, and The Dictator were okay, but nothing special. But I am looking forward to Happy Gilmore 2!

    I’m always down for a fun promo campaign for a movie. THIS is a fun campaign:

    I've never seen the first one and legit thought it was a real band until I was in my late teens

    I’ve got a couple of albums (cassettes, it was the 90s) that say it was a real band.

    These have such I simple formula it just depends on how many jokes land. I think it’s good they haven’t done one of these Christopher guest joints in a few years. That Netflix one about the mascots was eeehhh.

    It’s a must-watch. It’s still possibly the best and funniest of all the mockumentries made over the years.

    Oh my GOD, yes. Larry Miller and Fred Willard are improv gods in that movie, every single thing they do is hilarious. That part where Miller (a hostage negotiator) uses direct threats to get his son of the roof, Jesus Christ.

    …also Parker Posey and her husband as the “Sophisticated Starbucks” couple that clogged up coffee shops with their notebook computers in the 90’s.

    • I can't tell if this is a sequel to the Tom Cruise movie or what
    • I can't tell if the entire movie is watched through Ice Cube watching Youtube clips.
    • What the fuck does "Data is their food" mean? I'm guessing this is some kind of AI-based scary movie.
    I'm gonna watch it lol.

    Someone please post whether that movie is "hilariously stupid" or "stupid stupid." Because the trailer makes me think the latter.

    I don't think I've ever seen a moving where "flashy" was a sufficiently redeeming characteristic as to make the movie worth watching.

    It's more of a "ohhh! shiny!" kind of distraction from the shit. As in you could appreciate the CGI, but it was just a shit movie otherwise.

    I saw it was on Amazon today. I just can't get myself to watch a movie where Ice Cube sits and yells at a computer for 2 hours. It looks like most of it is "found footage" style nonsense.
