I like Friends.

I intentionally left that off the list.

Scrubs isn't a sitcom, it's more comedy-drama.

It's a sitcom.

Edit: And not a particularly good one.

Scrubs isn't a sitcom, it's a shitty show.

I keep trying to posrep the same three people, and keep being unable to do so. Someone else say something I like so I can posrep good posts again.

Impossible.

30 Rock's pretty shit as well, but mainly because I don't like Baldwin it's shit.

Nooooo. Almost all sitcoms, at least the good ones, are equal parts drama, equal parts comedy. Again, look at Roseanne.

Yup, like Father Ted, and...

...

*Runs*

Was it filmed in front of a live studio audience?

That has nothing to do with whether or not it's a sitcom, and I'm confused as to why you think it would.

I know that, stupid.

I wanted to know because when other people laugh, I feel compelled to do the same.

True dat. We don't have many considering the bar that's been set.

Mrs. Brown's Boys has amassed a considerable following in the past year. There's nothing more dear than an elderly man dressed up as an old woman and acting like a total cunt.

I'm not stupid. You're stupid.

You're stupider.

You're stupidest.

It's like one of those primary school grammar videos, but less upsetting.

You're stupid. Shut up.

You're going off topic.

Guys, guys.

I'm stupid.

Father Ted, Give my Head Peace, Mrs Brown's boys off the top of my head. Actually, that might just be all the sitcoms Ireland's produced but they're definitely better than half the tripe I've watched before. Quality over quantity.

Give my Head Peace might actually be the best sitcom I've ever seen, next to Campus that is.

Because it was made in the North and satirises the community division, so we can relate to it a lot more.

I wish they still made that. Memorable characters such as 'Da' should not be forgotten.

Speaking of sitcoms, I really liked Mrs Browns Boys and Father Ted.
In terms of American sitcoms, I am really fond of Everybody Loves Raymond and Frasier. Just those relationships between the brothers and the kind of stereotypical father figure just makes me laugh every time.

The length of Avengers didn't bother me. Considering they already cut out some stuff of The Avengers movie, it would have been hard to trim it without getting rid of all the exposition sequences. I can't really think of a film that was too long for it's own good, but I know what people mean about when Act 3 just goes on way too long. For those who don't want to watch it in one sitting, there's always DVDs or film streaming!

It actually annoys me more when TV stations broadcast films later than 9pm. It's irritating that you have to stay up until midnight or else switch off and read the summary on wikipedia tomorrow. Adverted channels are the worst, they can make a long film run for like 4 hours with all the padded adverts.

I saw God Bless America.


It was extremely good. I'm not sure it's up everyone's alley, but it's worth giving a chance. Bobcat Goldthwait, the director, is one of my favourites and his last movie (World's Greatest Dad) was, as far as I can tell, one of the best movies Robin Williams has ever made.

I might watch the Lion King later.

I Have Just Seen... V

STOP DISRUPTING CAUSALITY

People on Facebook pointed me to their latest outrage; 'Malaysian Mother Beats Up Baby'.

I feel sick now.

I can't care. I really can't.

I didn't know that was out. I really want to see that.


All of the Lord of the Rings films.

They were long books, hence, long films. Doesn't explain why the longest Potter book was made into the shortest Potter film. I loved those films to death and there are plenty of others who feel the same way. Wait til you see the Extended Editions of LOTR. You'll think the original films are like a picnic in comparison. We're talking almost double the total running time with a lot of plot resolved.

The trailers for The Dictator were quite funny. Surprisingly Snow White & The Huntsman looks decent actually. Like Game of Thrones meets Princess Bride

The length of the books worked. The length of the movies did not. I still think that if they returned all the slow motion scenes to regular speed they could have cut an hour out of each of the films.

I had no idea it was released either until I saw someone mention the Family-Fun Russian roulette gun they use (pops a balloon, not your head). It was totally worth seeing. Get on that, dawg.

No! Don't get him started on the extended editions. Argh

Suffice to say there are reasons they cut those scenes out.

I'd disagree with a lot of those, but point taken. My definition of sitcom was way too conservative right when I made that post for some reason.

I forgive.

In fact, let's talk about slow motion. When did it start to become passe? The Matrix? 300? Legend of the Guardians? It seems the only way to make slow motion work well is to put the camera in weird locations or do interesting things with it. Like when Spider-Man slows time for the first time and you hear the flapping of a fly's wing, or in Wanted when you watch a bullet curve. Or in X-Men First Class where Magneto sent the bullet through Sebastian Shaw's head, while Xavier was forced to endure the same pain (he couldn't end the connection or Magneto would die.

The only good piece of slow motion was in a Wil Hay film about University or something.

I don't know. I do know that it was way over used, and made the movies a lot longer than necessary.

Slow motion is only good if it's used for explosions* and face slapping.

*Explosions being used to blow up kettles and fish and shit like that, not movie explosions.

And women with large breasts running.
