Funny thing is 500 Days of Summer is like my #1 film in the past decade and zombieland is DEF in top 5-10 comedies as a whole in decade, but for pure comedic value I prob wouldn't rate either in top 3 of decade.

I'd prob go

3) Anchorman (overrated, but soooooooo many quotables it has to be included)/Old School (Only picking one Ferrell comedy)
2)Knocked Up (anyone who thinks Superbad is the best comedy of its year, or even best one starring Seth Rogan is overrating it)
1.5) Wedding Crashers
1)Thank You For Smoking

And everyone knows American Wedding was the best American Pie this decade

Oh, and to everyone who likes Jackass: You are part of the problem with this world we live in and my God throw napalm down on all of you. You sicken me

I got a lil bit of nemo (negro emo, I coined it first!) in me ldo, but in terms of screenplay it was near perfection. Funny, incredibly well written, and well directed. Most comedies are lucky to have 1 of those 3

if we're counting movies like thank you for smoking, then burn after reading has to be included but id consider both to be more satire/drama.

god wow i almost totally forgot along those lines

the royal tenenbaums

and re: 500 days of summer i knew exactly the formula it was following but god damn did it work so well on me. cute girl with flowery dresses and big eyes from the midwest to the big city, guy with skinny ties and thin pants dreams of being an artist of whatever sort, throw in a healthy dose of the pixies/the smiths/the cure/the kinks/whatever ***** band you want and bam you have something right up my alley its so sickening

09-27-2010 , 09:05 PM
oh god, do NOT get me started on what an atrocious travesty 'burn after reading' was.
09-27-2010 , 09:07 PM
yea i hated that movie as well, all sorts of fail imo

although i did enjoy Brad Pitts character.
09-27-2010 , 09:08 PM

i cannot find it for the life of me now, but a few months ago i had one that said something to the effect of:

"Does anyone else tape their thumbs to their palms and act like a dinosaur?"

i could not stop laughing, im sure it was a joke by some forums to make it a popular suggestion or whatever but it had me rollin

this def, I've gone back and watched some of these and while some are good a lot don't hold up well at all. Esp a bunch of the Eddie Murphy/Steve Martin/etc don't really do it for me. Some of them are have some awesome classicness that still makes me like them like Weird Science

nahh I'm with you guys, I do listen to a fair amount of the new music you guys pick out for me here, but I'll take some old rock n' roll any day.

Stones->Sticky fingers

Led Zep-> I can never pick a fav between I, II, III, IV or House of the Holy

Floyd->Animals




also if you guys have netflix streaming they have this documentary called It Might Get Loud that is awesome

Quote:
Davis Guggenheim, creator of the Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth, directs this fascinating profile of three contemporary guitarists: Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, U2's The Edge and Jack White of the White Stripes. Each talks about their creative process, technique and influences as cameras follow them to key locations in their own music history. A jam session featuring all three musicians is woven into their discussions.

Dude, I'm just happy we still field a team :P. If you lose to us you might as well fire the coach, start a new QB, maybe give some redshirts a chance cuz your season will be officially over
