Movies and TV Year One

Deberg_1990 · 06-18-2009, 09:26 AM

28% Rotten Tomatoes rating.....OUCH.

"Year One makes Will Ferrell’s Land of the Lost look like a masterpiece."

Sounds like an epic bomb.

this is disappointing to say the least, just about as hearing Terminator Salvation was shitty

Has there BEEN a decent comedy lately? And I'm talking, "in the past 10 or 20 years". It seems like you can name the half-decent comedies on one hand. The first "American Pie"? The first "Austin Powers" film? "There's Something About Mary"? Doesn't it seem like films were funnier and more original years ago? "Caddyshack", "Blazing Saddles", and all that stuff? I can't remember the last time I laughed in a movie theater...

The Hangover was just 2 weeks ago.

There's no reason to see this movie. None. Unless Bruce Willis shows up and blows Jack Black's arm off with a .50 cal.

I'm going to see that one tomorrow, actually.... I did forget about some of the others mentioned, though. I dunno, I don't want to sound like one of thsoe old, "well in MY day..." types, but it just seems like we had more good comedies back then. Maybe it's just that we're running out of originality since just about everything's been done?

Ironically, you cite three movies from the bad times and two from the good old days, each of which I enjoyed approximately equally.

Probably of the 5, I laughed the most the first time I saw TSAM.

Anchorman was pretty classic.

10 to 20 years from now, someone will post this on CP:

good comedies in the past 10-20 years?

Swingers - one of the best ever IMO
Friday
Old School

I'm sure there are more, but those 3 I thought were great.
