What Movie Did You Just Watch

[Foggle]

Just got back from seeing Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai. It was excellent, but I fucking HATE this stupid 3D fad. My head was throbbing something awful by the halfway point (woo for white subtitles on a separate layer from the video!) and literally the only worthwhile effect in the entire film was some snow near the end. I don't even see why a slow-paced samurai film made for adults would be shot in 3D, as I'm 90% sure that that shit only appeals to young children chomping popcorn to action movies (though please correct me if I'm wrong).

Regardless, I am NEVER spending money on another 3D movie. That's four extra dollars down the drain and naught but a headache to show for it. Fuck.

And now you know why Avatar was the last 3D movie I ever watched.

So what are everyone's favorite comedies? You don't have to rank them or anything, I'm just always on the look out for more funny stuff to watch. Mine are (in no particular order):

In Bruges
Cemetery Man
American Psycho
Underground
Bud Abbott & Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein
Hot Fuzz
Arsenic and Old Lace
Duck Soup
Army Of Darkness
The Sting

My fav comedy is... name a Billy Wilder movie. y'no, besides the more serious ones.

Also, Michael Clark Duncan died. Another shame, really. While the Daredevil movie was far from perfect, I still think his performance as Kingpin was easily the highlight.

RIP, Mr. Duncan was fantastic.

Have you still not watched An American Werewolf In London?

I dunno what my favorite would be anymore, my tastes seem to be drifting more towards family comedies these days as I'm getting more and more tired of gross-out and satire.

The Human Centipede 2 was one of my favorite comedies recently.

I keep forgetting to. If it's on Netflix then I'll probably give it a look this weekend...

What do you mean by "gross-out" comedy? Shit like Mr. Meaty and Date Movie? That stuff's the worst. My favorite comedies emphasize witty writing and well-done performances over other elements... except for Army of Darkness. But I can't not love that movie.

I thought that was a porno?

It is. I recently re-watched it yet again via streaming on Netflix and the film still holds up remarkably well.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Army Of Darkness is probably the best Evil Dead movie. It sure is the funniest either way.

Agreed. Evil Dead 2 is nearly as good, though.

An American Werewolf in London is one of my favorite "horror" movies. It's definitely my favorite werewolf movie, even over The Wolf Man.

Have you guys who haven't seen Seven Samurai yet still want a chance to check it out?

Because Hulu has it streaming for free this week as a part of Criterion's weekly freebies.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I'm totally hitting that up tomorrow!

Why do you always have doubts about watching good things? Do you hate feeling enjoyment?
