I haven't seen Borat - and i really don't want to - but I would be surprised if I didn't have the same reaction (or lack thereof) as ISM, theater or no theater.

The show referenced in your sig line, CP ... now that's comedy.

Borat was just not my type of laugh.

Putting it in very exclusive comedy territory, by the way.

the kind that's not funny.

yes, perhaps I should have specified, "the show not quite correctly referenced in your sig line, CP."

Fixed.

I saw Grindhouse last night (after an aborted attempt last week) - I really enjoyed the first film (Planet Terror), and the fake trailers (especially 'Thanksgiving').
The second film had too much damned Tarantino sitting around talking about nothing that drives the story. Kurt Russell was a lot of fun as Stuntman Mike,
but I think overall, 'Death Proof' was a bit of a letdown.

It's extremely rare that a comedy would make me laugh the first time around - and Malibu's Most Wanted was no different. In fact, I probably considered it the least funny movie I'd seen in years.

The strange thing is, I've caught it a couple of times on Comedy Central over the last couple of days (this morning, for example), and I have been giggling my ass off.

I still think it's a stupid movie.

After it's recent mention I watched The Night Porter yesterday. I must have been more easily titillated when I saw it years ago. This time I just found it slow and boring (not a great thing when you've been up for 30-something hours.

I fell asleep for about five minutes in the middle of the dancing topless Nazi scene.

I caught most of Ferris Beuler's Day Off today. I feel like I wasted good time watching a dull movie. I hate that.

Absolutely. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.
