Hot Fuzz. One of the best movies of all time.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Alan Tudyk is one of my favorite actors who I feel gets too little credit. He’s hilarious and it seems he’s always in some funny/weird role in live action but has a surprising list of credits when it comes to animated and especially Disney animated movies. Pretty sure he’s been in almost every Disney animated movie of the last 15 years.
I love Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Idiocracy is the funniest comedy I’ve ever seen, but its becoming like a documentary of our time now… And that wasn’t intended I think.
I fell asleep the first time I watched it. Worked at my corporation for a year and my friend made me rewatch it. Fucking love it now. I also put it’s got electrolytes in a lot of power points.
No, it is not “a documentary”, and anyone who says that got the wrong message from the film. It is hilarious, though.
It’s an old trope that everyone was somehow so smart and wise right up until my generation, then everyone suddenly got stupid and mean.
Socrates complained that the youth in his day were spoiled by having books to rely on so they didn’t have to memorize things anymore.
Every generation has the same attitude, and humanity somehow keeps on keeping on. Sure we are finding new and different ways to be stupid, but we’re also finding new and different ways to be amazing.
It’s quite easy to come away from the film with the idea that a general “stupidity” of predominantly poor people is to blame for most of society’s problems. The film even starts by heavily implying poor people breed too much and are stupid, while smart, educated, wealthy people are too smart to have kids because they’ve rationally determined it’s a bad decision in the economy. It then goes on to outright claim this will make humanity, on average, “stupider”.
This is very, very close to eugenecist rhetoric. Eugenecists are all about weeding out “inferior genes” from humanity to increase our iverall “fitness”. So tbh, I may have overstated. If you think the film suggests we need to limit dumb or poor people’s breeding, then you might actually be reading the film right.
What I should really say is I just hate the film’s overall message, whether it’s intentional or not. Which is a shame, because I otherwise like the film and find it quite funny.
Is Kung Fury uncommon enough? Most people I talk to irl never heard of it
Inspired by another answer in this thread, Kung Fu Hustle. It’s also a pretty good Kung Fu movie, similar to how Shawn of the Dead manages to be both a comedy and a pretty good zombie movie.
