Not true... several films by Christopher Guest 'n' Pals have the hu-mon "humor" of which the Earth people speak. But I saw that trailer too, and it did have funny bits... probably the film's sum total of them, but hey. Over the past two weeks, I've seen "Trek" twice, "Earth" once, and "Night at the Museum", all with kids in tow. I think that totals up to about four hours and 50 minutes of quality cinema. I've decided to continue my long-standing policy on "Terminator" projects: no Linda H, no sale. And I've seen the Transformers trailer twice, and BOTH TIMES some guy behind me did the same thing: upon recognizing that it was a trailer for "Transformers", snorting with derision and ennui, perhaps even making a derisive comment, and then the yellow robot did a little dance and suddenly the same guy was belly-laughing with wonder at the awesome of it all.

That is indeed a very funny movie! There's that line where he responds to Timothy Treadwell's rather optimistic philosophy with something like, "Here is where I disagree with Mr. Treadwell. I believe the common denominators of the universe are not harmony; but hostility, chaos and murder." To me, that line is the pivot upon which a whole new reading of "Grizzly Man" revolves into being. Anyway, I think Herzog is supremely funny, even in movies like "Aguirre" and "Fitzcarraldo," there's something very German about his enthusiastic embrace of nihilism. However, ma'am -- you are wrong, I fear. The Cohen Brothers can certainly be funny -- but in my own personal list of "10 Funniest Movies of All Time," their only contribution is "The Big Lebowski." Let me offer proof, arranged in alphabetical order, and skipping the Simpsons, South Park, and Futurama*. Note also I have only allowed one entry each from various comedy communes such as Guest & Co. or Monty Python.

Thank you, thank you! I was going to mention Herzog where I wrote "Marx brothers" but then I thought wait, maybe other people do not find his work as hilarious as I do... Agree about TBL being the funniest Coen brothers film, although I found Fargo pretty humorous as well. Did they make the execrable "Raising Ariz."? That can't be right -- if it is it would certainly cancel out a good deal of their superior films.

Any such list that fails to include Young Frankenstein is, objectively speaking, invalid. However, I assume the Quail just accidentally deleted it while formatting his post. (And of course nis policy of only listing one film per creator explains the absence of The Producers and Blazing Saddles.) I would add Brazil and Dr. Strangelove, but they aren't quite *mandatory* the way Young Frankenstein is. Some of the best film humor occurs in movies that are not primarily comedies. Goodfellas, for instance, is frequently hilarious. - --Chris ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 12:12:38 -0400 From: lep Subject: Re: movie talk (up and coming division) Jeremy says: > Lep sez, >>but then i remember that there are have been like zero (0) non-coen >>brothers comedies that are actually funny. > > Something is missing from this statement, but I'm not sure what it is?

Nice list, even though I disagree on the Coen Brothers (I think Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink are spectacularly dark comedies, while Lebowski has moments yet ultimately is thin gruel comparatively) and Python (The Holy Grail trumps all there). Also, I never cared as much for The Blues Brothers as others, so I would probably put The South Park movie on there, and I would replace Evil Dead (honorable mention for me) with Shakes the Clown, "the 'Citizen Kane' of alcoholic clown movies" according to one reviewer. Others mentioned Young Frankenstein and Dr. Strangelove, and I would have to find a place somewhere on my list for those as well, but I don't have the time to really go through all the 20 or so deserving ones to narrow down which would be honored and which would be merely honorable. One point of note--I definitely think Slap Shot! needs to be on there, not just because I played ice hockey all through college or because one of my customers in a past life was Jeff Carlson, one of the Hanson Brothers, or that Connie Madigan, who played one of the goons in the final game, Ross "Mad Dog" Madison played on a line with me in pickup games when I lived in Portland, Oregon. No, the reason it belongs is because it is the prototype of good sports comedies such as Bull Durham are based. A bit dated, but for hockey fans at least an absolute must and for sports movie film fans as well. As for the TV shows, for the Simpsons it is "Selma's Choice" all the way, the episode where Selma, in a vain attempt to follow the advice of the late Great Aunt Gladys, attempts to find a mate for the purposes of leaving a little loved one behind only to be dissuaded by taking Bart and Lisa to Duff Gardens. For Futurama, it is the one where Fry eats the tainted egg salad and has his body invaded with parasites that make him better (although I love the one you mentioned--Zoidberg is hilarious in my book). And for South Park, Scott Tenorman is a classic, and Cartman at his cruelest, so I'm willing to accept it.
