Of course I knew it was cheap, it is what makes those sort of films. :rolleyes: As far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't cost a billion pounds and hasn't got a Dame or a Sir in it, it's not recognised.

Thanks for making me laugh by saying that White Chicks and the Scary Movie quadrilogy have two of the largest fanbases in comedy history. Your interpretation of comedy obviously applies to what is current. I believe that you should invest some quality time with the real classics of comedy with fanbases a hundred times the size of what you have suggested, such as any ZAZ film for a start. I also dislike the fact that you make a lot of assumptions, which is so unbelievably shortsighted - I enjoyed White Chicks and the first two Scary Movie films.My point is, that critics, like yourself, often pan comical performances due to 'thin scripts' and 'bad acting', which in films like this make the film funny. As I've already said, films such as 'White Chicks' and the 'Scary Movie' francise were panned by the critics, however they have probably the largest fan base of any comedy film. I don't believe I am a minority either - the entire cinema was in tears of laughter during the film. Oh, and just because I don't write reviews for my local newspapers, and trying to make myself the owner of the film forum, does not mean I don't know what makes a good film:rolleyes:
Indy is awful because Ford no longer fits the part. I surely don't get a thrill out of a 65 year old man 'cracking his whip'. There is also, IMO, poor acting and no significant or anything signicficantly new stunt and technilogical wise. And yes, the Sci-Fi element was just utter garbage, and solely destroyed a franchise. It's a god-damm awful movie. And despite you saying your 'impartial', in doesn't hide the fact your article appeard biased, making it a very poor and unconvincing review.
Films that you should watch of the comedy genre with well-deserved fanbases tenfold in comparison to the films that you have mentioned include:
- Airplane!
- Airplane! 2: The Sequel
- The Naked Gun trilogy
- Top Secret!
- Hot Shots!
- Hot Shots! Part Deux
- Planes, Trains and Automobiles
- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Caddyshack
- Ghostbusters
- History of the World
- Uncle Buck
- Back to the Future
- Breakfast Club
(will be updated whenever I can be bothered to)
Oh I'm so sorry for having "zero manners" but I'm stating the truth. People don't respect critics when it comes to movies, or at least a lot of people I know don't because to put it simple - they don't have enough personality or creativity to review or even understand a comedy film, it's called overanalysing which is part of their job..
And yeah whoever writes into your little newspaper articles need to get a life because the only people who write into columnists are those with no lives themselves..
Oh, and the scary movies do have one of the largest fanbases of comedy films. If you can say name one spoof movie chances are today's generation would answer with them..
kiss my swag.
fantasy ride.
