I don't really think of Go as a comedy, even though it's pretty damn funny.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The older I get, the better I like comedies, actually. Or I have broadened my definition of comedies.
I have liked Shallow Hal,School of Rock,and Elf off the top of my head. I resited all of them, until my friend M made me watch, but then I loved them. I think they all have an underlying sweetness which I like.
Also, I have an absurdly large crush on Jack Black that dates back to High Fidelity.

I haven't seen Shallow Hal (though I want to at some point because a friend of mine was in it), but I loved School of Rock and Elf, neither of which I would have expected to love.

I REALLY didn't want to like Shallow Hal, as I am a fat person, and I really didn't want to watch Jack Black, who is fat himself, making fun of a fat woman. But it actually turned out to be quite sweet and not so much with the making fun of.

I adored 40-year-old Virgin, and laughed muchly.

I hated Shallow Hal, but I really love School of Rock.

I didn't think I'd like Shallow Hal, but I did. Loved School of Rock!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't think Shallow Hal was a good movie overall but I laughed out loud through much of it. What defines a good comedy? Does the story arc have to make sense if it makes you laugh?

Oh yeah, School of Rock.

I gots DVDs today! B&N is having a "buy 2, get 3rd free" sale this month, and combined with my discount card, I did pretty well. I got:
BSG S3
M Criterion Collection
West Side Story (collector's edition)
Music Man
Sound of Music
Meet Me in St. Louis
Cabaret
Untouchables
Richard III (Ian McKellen version)
Most of these are replacing VHS tapes--I still might get a few more (Divine Madness, Stop Making Sense, Holiday Inn, Speed, and Run Lola Run) to replace other tapes.
