He even hit the branch the kitty was sitting on - now that's slapstick for ya!

- handicapped rear view hanging fuzz-dice-type-o-things are transportable to folks using their autos to transport handicapped people.

- the light thing is somewhat negligible. in this neck-of-woods, lots of folks barely leave enough lights on to even note they're home.

- the 'mouth & heart' benefit is universal if one pays attention.

- they do have their own network...as in...those so blind they refuse to see (Rupe pluckin' those pigeons).

- sure you'd miss out on MTG but Chaplin films as well (gawd i love slapstick): just the opening > https://youtu.be/Sj4Lb7yD_fY

Looks staged to me but I have ICS (Internet Cynicism Syndrome). Maybe she actually did fill half her webcam frame with the room behind her and he just sauntered in to fill that empty space. And maybe his slapstick staggering after running into the wall was real.

I think that was the 'slapstick comedy' algorithm.

Me too.

I read a review of Identity Thief when it first came out that nailed the reason she is so very very good.

Silly little slapstick broad comedy, right? And the reviewer said -- I'm watching it and I'm like, what? What is she doing? She's ACTING. She is actually living truthfully each and every beat.

Those weren't his words, of course. I translated them into to Actor Speak from my many acting classes I have taken.

But yeah. She rocks my world.

I enjoyed past reviews from Red Letter Media a lot. They were insightful and detailed. They made me watch some movies in a new light and gave me a better understanding of them. However....

Go fuck yourselves, you whiny bitches!

You know what these people deserve? Everytime they turn on any screen of any kind to watch something even slightly related to sci-fi, it only plays Episode 1. They can't pause it, they can't stop it. And the Pod race as well as the 3-way lightsaber fight are edited out in their entirety. Just to make sure the relentless shittiness contains no form of relief.
We're finally getting decent Star Wars movies and all we get it 'But it ain't the original trilogy!!111!!'.
You people need more dialogue about the uncomfortableness of sand between your ass-cheeks. Or battle scenes characters only survive by entering slapstick-routines.
Sure, TFA and R1 certainly aren't perfect, maybe not even good, but they are surely much better than the awful shit Lucas shat down our throats the last 3 decades on the big screen.
The characters aren't likable enough? Have you met fucking teenage Anakin? I wanna slap the midichlorians out of that whiny bitch-face everytime he's on screen. He's so unlikable, the first time I didn't want to choke him until the Force left his body was when he murdered a classroom full of schoolchildren. That's what it took to make me go from 'I'm supposed to sympathise with this whiny-faced asshole?!' to 'Ok, he's the villian now. I'm supposed to feel this way about him'
There's not enough context? Go fuck yourself. Should we go and add extra flashbacks to Batman vs Superman on how Bruce Wayne's parents got shot? Just in case you don't get why he's Batman yet?
If you don't know what the Force is or who's Darth Vader, get the fuck out of my movie theater, mom! You're clearly here because somebody else dragged into this 'space war movie'.
I get it, the new movies aren't the perfect jewels of film-making your 5-year old self remembers the original trilogy to be ('Let's scrap the Wookies and invent the more Teddybear-like Ewoks, for the toy-sales!') but this is your response?
You're an teenage Anakin. A whiny, insufferable, bitch-faced asshole.
I welcome a healthy, critical discussion about movies any time. What I won't accept is this ridiculous display of ungratefulness after we suffered the prequel trilogy.
Star Wars is finally getting decent again. And you people shit all over it like the last 3 movies were even worth watching.
I'd rather watch Twilight than endure the creepy, awkward romance sub-plot of Episode 2 again. At least Twilight made laugh. And don't get me started on those tax disputes that started all that crap in the first place.
If you can't appreciate a Salami Pizza because there's no Pepperoni on it, you aren't worth any Pizza at all.

Saw it with my wife, we loved it but the chicken's antics got a little old. It was like Little Mermaid with either only Flounder or Sebastian, so the slapstick is always one-sided.

*slapstick!

Seriously, I cry laughing every time I re-watch this video. It's just perfect--the sound it makes when it smacks him in the head, the way the kid ragdolls after every hit, the dad cracking up behind the camera, the way the onlookers go "Oooooh..." every time a kid gets taken down. Slapstick comedy gold.

Presumably you reboot something because you want you capitalise on some combination of the styles, plots, essence and fans of the thing you're rebooting. So if it becomes unrecognisably Star Trek then fans won't be impressed.

But this looks to be going in a different direction than not just Star Trek but the first two films of the reboot as well. To me it could have been any sci-fi action adventure film because nothing stood out that distinguished it as Star Trek (the old or new definition).

Also, who the hell buys Pegg as Scotty really? I love Pegg, but everything about his character is jarring - he's Simon Pegg doing a funny accent and laying the slapstick on far too thick for comic relief only to pop up in an action scene 2 minutes later.

Edit: Maybe because it's a different director? Edit2: Who apparently directed some Fast & Furious films - that makes a lot of sense.

Ah yes, the cartoonish horrors of nature, when slapstick and terror go hand in hand.

Excellent points. If you look back over the entire SNL catalog there is a lot of great stuff. It's also been on for 40 years or so so yeah there should be. I think SNL is used as a springboard for a lot of comedians and writers. For example, Larry David was a writer.

What do you think of Upright Citizens Brigade or Mr. Show? I looked up a list of sketch comedy shows and it reminded me that the Chapelle show was pretty great. I never thought of Benny Hill as a sketch comedy show (it is), but I loved it as a kid. Probably too slapstick for me now.

If someone would have told me years ago, as I read the first book of an at-the-time relatively unknown story, that one day, Grover would perform a slapstick parody of the same story I'm not sure I would have believed them.

Jesus Christ, Franco's acting is awful here, even by slapstick standard.
