I was having a discussion with my brother last night, and it was actually extremely difficult for us to come up with a relatively recent comedy movie that either of us truly liked, or liked enough that we would watch it a second time. We decided to scroll through all of the comedies offered by Netflix and HBO GO, and after ~15 minutes of looking came up with only about a handful of available movies we would watch...4 of which we had already seen multiple times.
What do you think? Am I just living under a rock, or are all of these new comedy movies generally terrible? I fear we will never have another comedy great like Rodney Dangerfield making movies because of all of this PC nonsense that has been spreading like a plague.
That formula works well only under certain circumstances. Curb Your Enthusiasm generally did a good job at that, but some scenes just turned out bad or lackluster and resulted in there being several episodes I would not want to re-watch.
I watched Ted 2 because it was on HBO, and it was exactly this. It was kind of painful to watch. I remembered liking the first one, but maybe it's because I was stoned.
And fuck jumpscares. I think Cabin in the Woods is the most recent American 'horror' film I've seen that I enjoyed.
