Palms Springs is the best comedy I've seen in years.

Trailer ooks like a copy of Groundhog Day. Not a bad thing, it is a fantastic movie and will give it a go. Just think comedies lack originality at the moment, a lot in particular seem to try to copy the formula of the Hangover, particularly shock value which seems very forced.

It seems half of the movies nowadays are about the movie industry.

This one was alright I guess.

One of my least favourite themes of movies are ones about the film or theatre industry. Critics seem to love them but they aren't very interesting for someone not in that industry (at least ones I have seen).

2010s has to be the worst period for comedy movies ever

Taika Waititi’s “What we Do in the Shadows” and “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” were both fantastic.

I thought “The Nice Guys” with Gosling and Crowe was pretty good.

And if you consider Wes Anderson films comedy, “Grand Budapest Hotel” and “Moonrise Kingdom” were both great.

Inarritu’s “Birdman” was also excellent as a black comedy.

Anybody here watched Zack Snyder's Justice League? Apparently it's 4 hours long.

I watched it last night and liked it.
The plot is still the same as the 2017 one , but the movie has more character development when it comes to the flash and cyborg who where treated as a joke in the previous release.
For me it was worth the runtime.

Seen and liked all of them. Good choices.

Im pretty sure they make a reference to Groundhog Day in the movie. It's a similar concept but a very different movie.

Anyone seen shot caller? Was way better than i thought it would be.
Looking forward to many saints with Gandolfinis son, I love that farmiga is playing livia soprano, casting director or whatever nailed it.

Bad movies and the last time I couldn't stand a "big" movie

inception the biggest piece of pretentious dogshit..
The green screen should have had screen credit

avatar..couldn't get into it looked like a cartoon..

hateful eight was a boring piece of storytelling although well done.

 

[Stevie]

Yea Shot Caller was great

 

[campionesidd]

Agree. I personally prefer standup.

Comedy genre is dying, there will be just movies with humor.

Yeah, even two of my favorite sitcoms from the 2010s, Curb and Parks and Rec started in the 2000s.
The third one, Arrested Development, had its best seasons in the 2000s too.
Slim pickings indeed.

Coming 2 America might be one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Can someone recommend me a good comedy they are impossible to find.

Some of my favourites are:

The Jerk
Kung Fu Hustle
Super Bad
Step Brothers
Airplane
Napoleon Dynamite

Let me know as well. Good comedies are just so rare, maybe it's just our sense of humour. Im more like literally watching those Sharknado's n shit to make myself laugh about how "bad" something can be.

@Stevie

Have you seen Thomas Vinterberg’s latest film Druk, with Mads Mikkelsen? Highly recommend it as a dark comedy-drama.

No but I've heard all about it
I'm actually watching a movie right now by the same director and also with Mad Mikkelsen... The Hunt.

The Hunt is a great movie.

I really liked it. Gritty crime noir with plenty of action. Great 80s movie vibe too

I watched the trailer and I liked that old vibes, that's why I asked. Never checked it before and heck, it has Dafoe.
