They should remake this with an unattractive, and/or non-wealthy man.
>>220277606nah, remake it with gosling, it would be an actual improvement
>>220277606Remake it with a woman and have her realize just how insecure and pathetic guys are.
>>220277910they already did a female version with queen latifa, but its no wonder why everyone forgot about it
>>220277606Why don't they make eomcoms like this anymore? Is it because people prefer to jerk off at home and die alone now?
>>220278118>queen latifaactually, fuck that, even I am forgetting who starred it, it was another insufferable cunt either way
>>220277606>Helen HuntI could have sworn it was Judy Foster, but I think its common to confuse them lmao
>>220278215>Judy FosterWho the fuck is that?
>>220278243Jodie or whatever
>>220278139They end up direct to streamingNow that capeshit has started slipping hard they may come backThat zendaya Pattinson one was pretty good
>>220277866>unattractive manThat's what I said.
Remake it with these two.
>>220278139>>220278386just miss these high-concept comedies with a supernatural gimmick. feels there was a wave of them that started with Groundhog Day then they died out around the early 2000s: Shallow Hal (kinda), The Hot Chick, Freaky Friday.where did that whole genre go? are there any good ones from the past 20 years?
>>220277866>remake it with gosling, They did...
>>220279650That Ricky Gervais one where he invents lying or some shit?
>>220279618now THIS would be a great Shallow Hal type premise.>Chud is cursed by a witch for his heckin transphobia>sees all transgenders 'how they see themselves'we'll laugh, we'll cry, we may even learn a thing or two. Boat Trip (2002) for the Twitter generation.
>>220277606ketterboxd reviews for this movie are hilarious
>>220279730Old jack black looks nothing like he does today
>>220279685any good, anon? it has middling reviews but my standards here aren't exactly high, i just want some daft fluff.e.g. picrel. Adam Sandler was already a comedy pariah by then, but downloading this off Mininova in 2006 i had a fun time.
>>220279834i'd say that's how ageing works, but i think i get what you mean. slacker young rocker Jack Black vs wizened old neckbeard Jack Black.it's given him a nice second wind, since he plays the same character in everything. like elderly Hugh Grant, he's just fun to watch.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bkCdRZ9Tewi liked Tenacious D and School of Rock, but this shtick got grating back in the day.
>>220279870It made me cry by the end of it and I'm sure I'm not alone. Weirdly good, but not necessarily a great comedy.
>>220278243We are not going to talk about Jodie at all.
>>220280858why not?even the guy who stalked her (and tried to assassinated Reagan) has served his time. now he's just a nice guitar man on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwBJguFkp5E
>>220278164>what niggers want>cricket noises
>>220277606I’ve never found Mel attractive. Above average yes.
>>220279650It's just the case that much fewer comedies, that isn't primarily another genre with comedy being tagged on, gets made. And of the few actually being made, most of them are just sequels or remakes of actual comedies from the 90s and 2000s.
>>220278139>Why don't they make eomcoms like this anymore?Someone doesn't watch Hallmark since that is practically the only thing Hallmark makes.
>>220277606No.
>>220281045probably a bit of a miscast, but it's clear what the character was intended to look and act like. maybe they even did rewrites to fit Mel Gibson's ego.then again they could have gone over-the-top with e.g. the crossdressing and dancing, based Gibson may have reined that in. the character doesn't 'get in touch with his feminine' side, he just learns to be less of an asshole, and a better dad.
>>220281861are any of them GOOD though? like some decent writer had a story and just went in through the Hallmark feelgood-movie-of-the-week route?
>>220278164
I miss goofy romcoms like this
>>220278139Comedies in general died because all casual viewing type movies were replaced with mcu slop. Romance and sex in movies died out because women decided romance is something only for the top 5 percent of men and not simply part of being human. That's why you see zoomers bitching about sex scenes. Only a small fraction of the men have even kissed a girl so fictional romance brings too many painful emotions to the surface.
>>220278164Men only want one thing and it’s disgusting
>>220284370>That's why you see zoomers bitching about sex scenes. Only a small fraction of the men have even kissed a girl so fictional romance brings too many painful emotions to the surfaceNah it’s because there’s literally no point of titillation when hyperporn is in your pocket at all times. You need to compartmentalize otherwise there’d be no point to watching anything besides porn
>>220278215>>220278243She was in Maverick with Mel. Hot as hell.
>>220280049The pick of destiny is hilarious but he looks like a schizophrenic.
>>220283822Colossal with annie Hathaway starts out like this but veers into new ground. More about toxic friendships.
>>220284548>More about toxic friendships.More about how small people instantly reveal their true nature the moment they they think they won't face any consequence for their action
>>220277606That daughter of his was so cute in this movie. Shame she never looked that good again
>>220277606Remake it with modern day mel gibson
>>220279650It seems that nowadays they don't tend to focus on the comedy aspect very much, but if you're interested in romances with a supernatural twist I can name a few:>The Time Traveller's WifeA man unwillingly jumping through time in his personal past keeps meeting with the same girl over and over>In Your EyesTwo strangers living far away from eachother develop a mental conection where they can see, hear and feel what the other is experiencing>SpringA man travelling to Italy meets a woman that turns out to be half monster>The Map of Tiny Perfect ThingsTwo teenagers stuck in a timeloop>Warm BodiesA zombie falls in love with a girl and begins to change
>>220279650Dream Scenario (2023)
>>220277606That plot actually makes a lot more sense. Because women truly are narrative driven, it would be way more interesting to see an ugly guy just mindfuck a woman into falling in love with him. Just having all the right answers at exactly the right time. I guess that's kinda the plotline in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray keeps using past tidbits he's learned to gain new ground, and eventually bang the chick.
>>220279650Freaky Friday was a remake of a movie from the 60s
>>220279730remake it with Pierce Brosnan
>>220284370comedies died because jokes need a punchline to be funny; they need someone or something to be mocked. but since 2015 society has collectively agreed we can't make fun of anything or anyone because it's "mean". we've shaved the edge off of everything so it's impossible to make any sort of direct statement anymore. don't believe me? try and think of a joke that isn't at someone else's expense.
>>220289410When is a door not a door?When it's ajar!
>>220289433the joke here is at the expense of the audience. you were expecting something profound, and instead were met with a pun.
>>220289479You must be real fun at parties...
>>220289500Your mother.
>>220279650No one pays to see movies like this since they are better viewed at home on Netflix. They save their theater-viewing budget for the big budget action blockbusters or horrorslop that need to be seen on the big scene to truly enjoy
>>220277606Yes, we hear you loud and clear. We will remake it with wealthy man falling in love with unattractive woman.
>>220279650what the fuck my gf is watching friends in the background and phoebe just referenced Liar, Liar as i read this post. what a coincidence.another coincidental thing is that i am a liar because it wasn't my gf, it was my mom.
>>220289682that's a lot of layers of irony, like in inception
>>220289433Pretty good.
>>220289410Jokes don't need a punchline to be funny, absurd humour works fine without explicit punchline, for example.The real reason is way worse: Media literacy (not the "you don't understand my message chud". but the actual one - ability to understand metaphor, hyperbole, read between the lines etc.) is long since dead. You don't need just a "punchline" for a joke to "hit", you need to repeat that punchline several times, dissect it, throw it in and out and basically spoonfeed the viewer because your viewer will be too retarded to even register a joke otherwise, unless it's some marvelslop quip which is not even funny most of the time.In short, audience is so retarded that for a joke to register, you need to take all the humour out of it.
>>220283811this movie aesthetics should be used more often, it really has a unique charm to italso use it with pretty women like the protag too, or else it gets degraded
>>220277606>I want to see unattractive actors in the big screenThat's the problem with modern cinema.
