Super Hero movies are based on previously written story's and concepts. They are basically adaptations. Dumb and Dumber was an original story that a studio bought and when it was a success, the studio went full on stupid trying to capitalize on it anyway it could. The moment any of the actors or the Farrelly Bros acknowledge it, I will.So what do you do with all the Batman and Superman series that had different actors , director s etc.? Don't use the reboot approach here because that isn't legitimate in my opinion because it's also different directors actors etc., just like Dumb and Dumberer. Not mention all the other super hero movies.
All movie scripts are written stories so I don't know what your comments mean in this regard. The second D& D was based on a previous story as well. Just don't follow.Super Hero movies are based on previously written story's and concepts. They are basically adaptations.

I agree with this but I also understand that Monty Python isn't for everyone. Holy Grail is an absolute all-timer for me. I didn't realize until I was in college how dorky the hard core Python fans are but I don't care. Those guys were great.you are missing Monty Python, you can not make a comedy top ten and not have Monty Python in there.
He was outstanding in that movie.Burton Gilliam in Blazing Saddles is a friend.
My parents were huge fans of Monty Python and British comedy in general so I grew up watching reruns of the old TV shows (Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Benny Hill, the Young Ones, et. al), the Python movies, etc. It definitely clicked with me.Never got Monty Python...generally I don't like British humor. I did make an exception for Russell Brand...Get Him to The Greek is one of my favorite newer comedies.
The timing is different and just what they find funny too. Feels too old for me to like. Much like Belushi on SNL...I did not get that either...particularly the samurai bit.My parents were huge fans of Monty Python and British comedy in general so I grew up watching reruns of the old TV shows, the Python movies, etc. It definitely clicked with me.
It's all a matter of taste. I know some people who would put multiple Lampoon's movies in their top 5. Animal House and Vacation are both great, but not with the elite.The timing is different and just what they find funny too. Feels too old for me to like.

Chris Pratt is the new go to action guy...only a matter of time before he is the new Indiana Jones.Jurrasic World trailer is out. Looks good, but I like the idea of actual dinosaurs being what they run from. Not some fake one they decided to make. Now it's more like Godzilla.
Just saw the trailer. Looks pretty good. I think I can last until next June in case anyone is wondering.Jurrasic World trailer is out. Looks good, but I like the idea of actual dinosaurs being what they run from. Not some fake one they decided to make. Now it's more like Godzilla.
