I'm awesome at spoilers. Nobody does spoilers better than me. Nobody. You are cranky! Anyway, no spoilers: it's a tragedy. (I don't think I've given away anything that you can't see in a description of the film, or by reading the back of the Bluray box, just so you know) But it's a tragedy. There is exactly zero comedy in it. |

Odd what the ratings board censors deem a PG-13 as oppposed to R rating. I give it a 7/10.

so comedy season is coming up (we had frozen windshields this morning, but still, spring is starting to show up on the ground) and i need a new repertoire.
comedy in the classical "happy ending" sense, not in the contemporary "oh so funny" sense. though they're not mutually exclusive of course. basically i need movies with sympathetic characters who triumph against adversity. "heroes" who live to tell the tale not die in a fire. terrible premise, i know, with so much hollywood pap made along these lines, but i welcome quality recommendations from the hive mind. |

It's a Gift Some W.C. Fields are clever/funny but this one's just really really funny - and unusually uplifting (for him). The Philadelphia Story Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant doing clever/funny in a way that's never not funny. Utterly brilliant. Mr. Hulot's Holiday The perfect summer feel-good comedy, bar none. Pure uplift. |

great, great!
i've got "bringing up baby" right here so that looks promising hulot--yes, i love it! and mon oncle etc. all of it. i'll look for the other ones need more! please feed the beast. gotta plan from "very soon" into mid-summer or later. need like 4 movies per weekend, thats... a lot a ha ha will also need *cough cough* "romances". fits frye's cycle and my wife has been enjoying POLDARK which i think fits the mold everything alive/uplifting you can think of. death begins some time in late august or september with TRAGEDY SEASON lololol. plus horror and vileness, ending in total cynicism (THE RULING CLASS was... wow). but now, time for the "positive" stuff |

I had been watching a documentary about Prince Philip, and somehow that brought me to this, which I didn't know existed until just a few hours ago. It's entertaining, for a Sunday "furnace is broken and we're stuck in a shit hotel with a laptop and fuckall else to do" movie. |

holy shit i just finished O LUCKY MAN!
great film, great fucking satire, super hilarious (but in a bitter way), malcolm mcdowell and helen mirren on the same screen-- ah shit, this saved today's screenings because the previous one was crap but this more than made up for it |

As a young teen I read aqs many of the Destroyer men's adventure series that that Remo movie is based on. I loved the character of Chiun and how he was always insulting the white man, western culture, etc., but he loved the highest art achieved in america, the soap opera. The movie captured maybe 10% of what the books are like. very disappointing.
