Path and T-Dogz going at it?

You tell everybody to follow dumb rules, everybody picks dumb movies. That doesn't prove that they are really the best; it only proves that you are all being dumb.
Do you understand this time, or do I have to use flash cards?

Nope. You're gonna have to explain it to me. Please do enlighten me with your intellect.

With flash cards! LOL! LOL!

Yeah, if that's what you think I was saying, then you really do not have the comprehension to rate my time. Not everyone else takes internet polls seriously, dummy.

I need to watch I Love You Man. I hate not being able to partake in the discussion lol.

Yes, you do

Pablo - I only voted for 4, can you add on a vote for ILYM as well? Thanks.

I'm sorry they left out your vote because of me. We should be having a ILYM/Gremlins tiebreaker right now, but heaven forbid it be up to the community taking a closer look.

...Ebert's review..."... You feel good watching the movie. That's what comedies are for, right?"

This is why I didn't especially want to do a comedy tourney at all. It's too broad of a category, with too many definitions and potential simultaneous directions.
I Love You, Man is a fair feel good movie.
Election is a hard behavioral satire.
Gremlins 2 is not a good film, but, actually, not such a bad comedy.

I think we should be judging comedies based not just on how much they make us laugh, but also how good the rest of it is. Some comedies may not be as funny as other, but have better performances and a story. The key, I think, is to vote for that middle ground. What is funny about the film? Is it the sight gags and the parody? The character relationships? The satire? The dialogue? The story? I think the best comedies excel in most of these kind questions.

I for one am voting for whichever COMEDY made laugh most and loudest. If you wish to judge a film on the other stuff, stick to other genres.

You don't have to think about the theory of humor to watch a funny movie. The guy who made that movie thought about it more than enough for the both of you.
