Renaming movies?


Not as bad as Spielberg renaming it Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Based on first views, Airplane is still the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie. Obviously, 40 years later, it's fatally dated.


I wonder if that genre died with Leslie Neilson. He was so good in so many different movies and TV shows like that.

I think it's more experimental than that. It seems to me it's a test that forces the viewer to reckon with what he consumes as "entertainment". At what point does "entertainment" cross a line into the pornographic? I believe the director would have been pleased with the audience walking out during the picture.


So the 4th wall breaking by the home invaders goes from winkingly conspiratorial, this-is-all-a-big-haha-joke to complicit with the audience and maybe casting a judgment, "we're only doing this for your amusement, you keep watching, we keep going?" sorta thing. The original movie came out a decade earlier, 1997. But Funny Games re-release in 2007 was well-timed at the height of the popularity of horror porn like Hostel / Saw. The latter was at least somewhat redeeming, fun figuring out the traps and overall game; Hostel was pure gore for gore's sake. Probably the internet killed that variety of cinematic smut; people into that sort of thing can get their jollies on the net.

Severance (2006) might be closer to what I was thinking / hoping Funny Games intended to be, a decent thriller-horror movie with piss-take humor.


"Hostel" was funnier than "Funny Games".


I Spit On Your Grave...now that's comedy!

What's funny about Spinal Tap is how touring musicians react to it. Ozzy thought it was almost a documentary because shit like getting lost in the stadium is apparently something that really happens. A bunch of musicians have said shit like that.

Great movie, but probably not the best comedy of all time.

1. Blues Brothers
2. Young Frankenstein
3. Trading Places
