A brief thought on comedy movies : I managed to watch two movies today. When I first arose I was feeling particularly brain dead so I watched Stepford Wives (the remake) I watched the original a couple of weeks ago so it was kind of fun to watch the remake after that. Original definately much better though. It was a better constructed story and based on that rather than trying to be funny. I think that's the problem with most comedies. They just try to hard. I really do fail to laugh at the majority of them. They try to hard to be funny that it's not about the character or the story and if you don't care and invest yourself in those then nothing matters as much. Also because they just go for the cheap laughs anything that is funny just vanishes on the second viewing. The few movies that I find really funny are incredibly well crafted with superb writing. This is Spinal Tap is 100% the funniest movie of all time, one of the few that could make me laugh, let alone that hard and that frequently.
