most hollywood comedies are "romantic comedies" even though the "romcom" is like an 80s-born thing. so i'd just do "comedies" or something.

I kinda agree with this but then if a Farrelly Bros film placed higher than The Philadelphia Story I'd Morbs-out worse than he ever did.

but arguably a lot of farrelly bros movies are romcoms so what diff would it make
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Saturday, 18 February 2012 17:38 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i mean all american mainstream comedies have a romantic plot or subplot.

is ravenous considered a british movie? man, i love that thing. okay, brits are good to go as far as low-budget horror/action goes. i notice nobody mentions guy ritchie. i don't know if i've ever seen one of his movies from beginning to end. just caught parts of them on cable.
― scott seward, Saturday, 18 February 2012 17:41 (twelve years ago) link
i don't know if i would vote in TWO comedy polls. maybe just one big one. obviously i would have no problem coming up with 50 great comedies that i love. they would all involve zombies. just kidding.
― scott seward, Saturday, 18 February 2012 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
ravenous is a good movie. i rented that back in 2000 or so, my roommate mocked me for renting it. the next day i came home and she was like, "oh, that movie? i saw it sitting on top of the VCR and got tempted. it is surprisingly awesome."
guy ritchie isn't so bad, really.
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Saturday, 18 February 2012 17:43 (twelve years ago) link
I like guy ritchie - lock stock and snatch are good fun. I haven't seen rocknrolla

i enjoyed the red riding movies, i mean i wouldnt necessarily recommend them and theyre not very good but theyre kinda, i dunno. if youre ever in the mood for that kind of thing they hit the spot.
― max, Saturday, 18 February 2012 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
Dead Man's Shoes a decent but patchy descendant of Get Carter but as per above that's maybe pushing 'action' a bit too far.
― woof, Saturday, 18 February 2012 17:56 (twelve years ago) link
Red Riding is the only worthwhile thing I've seen Andrew Garfield in.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 18 February 2012 17:58 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, Dead Man Shoes is closer to horror than action. It's great though

i can't figure out if its a backhanded compliment to the red riding series, a dis of the social network, or a meditation on andrew garfield
― the jazz zinger (s1ocki), Saturday, 18 February 2012 19:14 (twelve years ago) link
a dis of Andrew Garfield, who's a cute kid.

The suggestion earlier involving a pile of coke, nine packs of cigarettes, and a week off is now tantalizing to me. I think those days are past, for me, but goddamn.

i had a cookie from the same, um, baker, and it was quite a cookie. almost psychedelic. i wasn't driving or anything. i don't really "do" you know "drugs" anymore. but sometimes its fun to indulge a little in something as harmless as an innocent brownie. and watch netflix. children safely whisked away by my deranged parents who are constantly hopped up on prescription medicine.

what was the last great u.k. action movie? that didn't involve james bond.
Attack The Block? (if we're calling John Carpenter "action")

xpost No amount of drugs ingested while watching "Commando" can possibly match the amount of drugs surely ingested making it.

Ah - what's the name of the arnold doc that scene is from. I keep meaning to watch that and forgetting.
LOL Laurel I like how you added 9 packs of cigarettes to the week of films and debauchery. Coke is dumb and I just quit smoking (mostly) but I could sure do with a week off.
