Bruno: What's So Funny? Lol!

Do you know this guy? Please, welcome! This is Bruno. He is also Sacha Baron Cohen. Maybe you remember him as Borat. But these three are not the same. Bruno is not Borat. This is a special English humour. And maybe not everyone understands it. Me, for example....

"Bruno" is a very popular and scandal comedy of 2009. Some countries even prohibited to show this film because of its homosexual topic and kiss of Bruno and other man. And I think those countries have not lost much if did not watch this movie. I watched. I am not lucky. It was just killed time. Not funny, not serious, no plot, no good actors....

Well, this is my opinion. what is yours?

P.S. Or maybe I just do not like to watch comedies about gays?...Sorry....

The new comedy: Guinness World Records.

No, no, my friends, this is not the name of any new comedy film. Though, I think it could be a very popular and really funny comedy if someone decided to make a film based on this word-famous book. Some records from there can not leave us without a smile at least. Well, it could be one of the best 21th century's comedy film.
Never mind! I've just read the article about some Guinness records and was surprised by them. Here they are! I hope they'll make you smile too. Or.... even laugh. Who knows...


Guinness World Records continues to build on the intriguing, informative, inspiring and instructional records and superlatives that have made Guinness World Records one of the most famous brands and an annual best-seller around the world.

First published in 1955, the annual Guinness World Records book is published in more than 100 countries and 25 languages and is the highest-selling books under copyright of all time with more than 3 million copies sold annually across the globe.

Each year, Guinness World Records releases a reference book containing an internationally recognized and verified collection of world records, man-made and natural.
If you were to break a world record, what would you choose for your competition?
During all the time of the book existence it’s nominates were really unique and different.

The fastest time to create one balloon dog sculpture is 6.5 seconds by John Cassidy (USA) at the Balloon Saloon store in New York, USA on 28 March 2006.

The world's longest running TV variety show is Sábado Gigante (Univision Television Network, USA), which has been broadcast every Saturday evening since 8 August 1962.

An original pair of Levi Strauss & Co (USA) 501 jeans aged over 115 years old were sold by Randy Knight (USA) to an anonymous collector (Japan) for $60,000 (£33,230) through internet auction site eBay on June 15, 2005.

Highest-time female pilot and the oldest flight instructor in the world.
Fastest to cycle the Pan-American Highway-Scott Napier sets world record
Largest tiramisu-world record set by French chefs

But also there are too extravagant records as for me… What is the most extravagant world record that you can think of?
World's Most Pierced Woman - Elaine Davidson sticks her pinkie through a hole in her tongue at a 2003 Guinness event in London. As of May 2008, she had 5,920 piercings all over her body.

World's Smallest Newspaper - British children's publication First News shows off the minuscule edition that took the Guinness record for smallest newspaper, November 2007.
I think now it’s the time to talk about new nominates, not less crazy actually.
Well, see for example a lady, who crashed more than ten autos while trying to park her car. She just closed her eyes and turned the wheel, because of being afraid of scratching the one nearby.

Or world record for having the ten longest fingernails (28 feet, 4.5 inches combined), for balancing the heaviest car on their head (352 pounds), or having the largest collection of key-chains (41,418).
Or for example – Natasha Bloomberg, a Czech girl who can beat every fan of dating sites in a number of virtual husbands.

Not yours?
Try to check out the guy who holds the record for wearing the most T-shirts at once. That's 227 T-shirts! If you can squeeze on 228, the world record could be yours!
Do you still think it’s easy to find the non-trivial idea to gain the record? You bet!

Spread

This film could be “one of the….” if it had the predictable ending. But! The end of this film is the only one thing for the sake of which you can watch it and say: “Hm… Nothing special, but…”

Well, as far as you understand, this is a comedy. The name: Spread.
Actually, I do not like films about the guys who consider them to be the best lovers only because of the fact they are young and handsome. Ashton Kutcher, who played the main role in this film, shows us exactly the same. Nothing new happens: he is lucky, all ladies are his ones and so one and so forth… But suddenly he meets a girl who is not interested in him at all. Nikki (the name of our hero) fells in love and tries to pay this girl’s attention…
‘Bla-bla-bla..’ you will say and you will be right! But stop! Do not forget about the film’s ending! There will be a surprise for you!

So, do not miss this film. You should watch it once and forget about it! Lol!

They are the best comedy actors!!!!

My friends!

Be frank: what first comes to your mind when you see them? I think it is joy, fun, smile and tender emotions. Am I right? Please, do not forget about the fact they did not graduate from any actors' schools, universities and so ones. Their talent is always with them and they do not take money for showing this talent to us, people. They are the sincerest actors and they are so cute!

Just look at these pictures! It is impossible to teach them to behave so!

Animals are really the best comedy actors!

"Year One": well, maybe it is stupid but anyway - watch it!

Yes, yes, I know what you will say. "If it is a stupid film why should we watch it?" or something like that. Maybe you are right. Frankly speaking, I had the same thought when the friend of mine invited me to watch this film with him. I read the description, watched the trailer and said: "Oh, no! Thank you! I like comedies of course but this one is strange and stupid". Nevertheless, my friend insisted. He was just bored and had nothing to do. And I gave up.

What can I say? It should be watched once to know why critics were so negative about it. It should be watched once if you want to watch something non-serious and relaxed. It should be watched once if you want to sleep and need a soporific. And it should be watched once if your friend begs you to watch something with him (her) but does not have anything except this film. Enjoy!

"When a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers (Black and Cera) are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic journey through the ancient world".

P.S. I wanted to introduce you the official trailer of "Year One" but Bogger has some problems today with adding video. *sad*. Anyway, you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTNBwIAY9Zo

What would be your best comedy film?

I’ve found the list of 100 greatest comedy movies. And you know what? The comedies of the 21st century are almost absent there! Why is it so? There are only 5 comedies of the 21st century in this list:

38. Borat - (2006) (Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davitian)

52. Meet the Parents - (2000) (Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller)

63. Little Miss Sunshine - (2006) (Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, Steve Carell)

66. Scary Movie - (2000) (Keenen Ivory Wayans, Anna Faris, Shawn Wayans)

83. The 40 Year Old Virgin - (2005) (Steve Carell, Catherine Keener)

How do you think what is the reason of it? Have we lost the sense of humour? Or is anything left for us to laugh at?

Here is the list of these comedies: http://digitaldreamdoor.nutsie.com/pages/movie-pages/movie_comedy.html

Please, pay attention that the 1st place of this list was won by the film of 1933! Here it is: Duck Soup! (see the picture above).

Well, each decade has its humour. I do not think I would laugh at this film now.
And what would be YOUR best comedy film if you made such a list by yourself?

Zombieland: a comedy or a horror??

Have you watched the new film of 2009 already? It is called "Zombieland" and it is considered to be American zombie comedy horror film. Comedy and horror together?? Hm... I think it is really stupid. But you know, this film has already become so popular and so many people like it very much. They laugh at this film. And laugh A LOT!!

You know, my strong opinion is the following: this film is so popular because of Bill Murray's presence there. But you know, one actor (even so famous one) is not enough to make a movie one of the best comedies. Moreover, this film is not funny and not scary. It is stupid!

The rating of this film is 8.3/10 according to IMDb!! Wow!

You know, I completely understand the following phrase now: the more stupid are jokes - the better is the film for the audience.

There are some jokes form the film:

1. Columbus: Fuck this clown

2. Wichita: Let's play the quiet game.

Columbus: I've actually been meaning to ask you...

Wichita: Have you never played the quiet game?

3. Little Rock: [as he is dying] Do you have any regrets?

Bill Murray: Maybe Garfield.

Are they really funny for you?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1156398/ - here you can find everything about this film if you did not know anything about it yet. But I bet you do! Because it is everywhere now!

“Night at the Museum 2”: it would be better if it did not exist!

"Everything comes to life"

To begin with, I should say that the trailer of the film seemed to be more interesting for me than the film itself actually was. It happens very often that after a successful first part of the film the second, third and etc. parts follow. But as practice shows, it does not always work and many viewers are disappointed after watching the continuation though there are some exceptions of course. Unfortunately "Night at the Museum 2" is not an exception.

The first 20 minutes of the film were so boring that I thought: “when all the fun moments that I saw in the trailer will take place?” But I did not find them. The movie was pretty boring. I kept looking at my watch, thinking about when it's over. Certainly, this film is a family one, preferably or kids.
Ben Stiller has not surprised me with anything new. Although I expected much more from him, he has not met my expectations. And I can say that this is not the first film with Stiller when he did not meet my expectations.

Amy Adams is another story. I can not say anything about the others, but her heroine irritated me very much. She was too intrusive. It was really annoying. My positive impressions are only about the three heroes of this film: Ivan the Terrible, Napoleon, Al Capone. They maintained the atmosphere of humor in the film, especially the scene with the hero of the movie "Star Wars".

So, my rating for “Night at the Museum 2” will be 3 out of 10 (though IMDb gives it 6 out of 10). What are your thoughts?

Are you sure you watch a comedy?

My friends!

I write here about comedies, new in general, but do not forget about old ones too (I mean “old” actors, famous comedians). And suddenly the following thought came to my mind: what is the comedy in general? There is a definition of a comedy as a genre:

Comedy is a genre of art, characterized by a humorous or satirical approach, as well as the type of drama, which specifically solves the effective time of conflict or struggle of antagonistic characters.

There are two types of comedies: a comedy of characters and a comedy of situation.

A comedy of situation is the comedy where events and cases are the sources of funny moments.

A comedy of characters (comedy of manners) is the comedy where the source of funny moments is the inner essence of the comic characters, their funny and ugly one-sided hyper trait or passion (defect, flaw). Very often a comedy of manners is a satirical comedy because it ridicules all those human qualities.

Which comedies do you prefer? Do you like to watch people in funny situations of do you prefer to laugh because of any personal qualities?

Jim Carrey Steve Martin

Bill Murray Eddie Murphy

Today I would like to ask you about your favourite comedian actor. Who is he? Or maybe she? Why do you like his person? What makes him/her to be better than other ones?

There is the list of my favourites above. You are welcome to join me! Or you can also disagree with me.

Tears and smiles go together here...

“Marley & Me” is a 2008 American dramedy film directed by David Frankel. The screenplay by Scott Frank and Don Roos is based on the memoir of the same title by John Grogan. The film was released in the United States and Canada on December 25, 2008 and set a record for the largest Christmas Day box office ever with $14.75 million in ticket sales.

Finally, the more or less realistic film about a pet appeared on the screens. The audience is already rather tired of sickly sweet puppet dogs which can be found at the all latest movies and cartoons. But the last straw, probably, was that silly (though it should be sweet) comedy about a rich Chihuahua.
The film of David Frankel “Marley & Me” is probably one of the few films in which a dog is shown as a truly equal friend of a man but not a shadow of the police or even worse – a rat-looked creature that serves as a living decoration on the breasts of some glamorous diva.
The incredible harmony of the genre in the movie “Marley & Me” amazes. This is not the one-sided comedy about the animal. And this is not a tragic story. It has everything, like in real life - happiness, sadness, depression and explosive joy.
And every time the dog owners do not know, when they think, whether it would be easier to get rid of him, and how long would they hold on for not to return him? This is not a dog, but just a punishment, and the house periodically turns into the dog’s battlefield with curtains, furniture and pillows. But they got used to him and they do not need any other pet.
And this is the main idea of the movie “Marley & Me” – to show viewers the dog for what he is but not what you would like to see. To show the dog as an equal member of the family rather than a living doll. And the attitude of owners is based on the individuality of this particular dog. So, Marley may be the only one, and not just a habit makes the whole family to worry about him when it becomes clear that the dog will die.

Have you watched this funny and sad movie “Marley and Me”? Probably, not only girls and women shed a few tears by the end of the film because the story ends very sadly. I think that this picture may well claim to have a place in the list of the 21st century’s the best comedy films.

Let me say hello to you!

Hi people!
What's up? I am new here and hope we'll become good friends with you! Let's share our thoughts, feelings, poits of view and dreams! It is honour to become the part of your community! I can see that there is a lot of very interesting and useful information here and I will be happy to learn it and share my information with you!

How could I miss this film before?

Do you like comedies as much as I do? Reading different information at the internet yesterday, I found the list of the best comedies of the 21st century. I admitted with satisfaction that I do not consider myself to be an expert of such a genre in vain. There were in about 30 films in that list. I must admit that I watched 15-17 of them for sure and I even remembered their plot. I do remember that I watched another 10 of them but, unfortunately, I could not remember their plot and actors. So, looking through that list, I found the name “What Happens in Vegas”. Year:2008. Actors: Diaz and Kutcher??? I have not watched that film!!! The responses were only positive, everyone admired the light plot and actors’ play. So, I had to find this film and watched it as soon as I could. What do we have? The couple of antipodes meets in the city of sins Las Vegas, drinks a lot and wakes up next morning to be married! Well, nothing special, it would be always possible to divorce if they did not have a 3 millions dollars jack pot which our main hero won yesterday. They can share this money and say good bye to each other but no! Each of them wants everything! The court makes a decision for our just married to spend a half of a year together in order to become a real family. The real battle begins between them. We become contemplators of many funny situations and events where not only our main heroes Joy and Jack take part but also their friends thanks to whom our couple went to Las Vegas in the very beginning of the film!
Well, in general I liked the film. It is easy to watch it, there are many funny moments and good actors’ play in it (Diaz and Kutcher played their roles in such a way as if they always worked in such lines). So, I’d got a charge of positive emotions for the next couple of hours. The greed of our heroes and the craving for money turned out to be their great helper: finally they understand that they need something more, not just money. What can we take for ourselves from this film? Maybe the fact that not everything is bad in our life and you can easily become a lucky beggar doing nothing? Or maybe the fact that everything good we know only after we overcome everything bad: greed, desire to have everything at once, binge unconscious? Or maybe that you need once to become another person and change all your habits and nature at least for one day in order to find a personal happiness?
