Went to see this tonight and can't recommend it enough. If you like Shaun of the Dead you're gonna love this. I believe the release date for the US is April 20th.

Here's a site with a few trailers etc..

Or you can just torrent it now instead of waiting, if you're one of those awful people that does that sort of illegal activity.

I, personally, never do such things. I'm just throwing it out there.

The movie was great.

Awesome. I love their humor. Thanks for the heads up.

Shaun of the Dead was decent, but not great...so I suspect that this movie will be more of the same

Shaun of the Dead was fucking hilarious, and if you don't think so there's a problem with the humor receptors in your brain.

I don't torrent movies that aren't DvD rips cuz the quality is too shity. I wait until a good version comes out or they get released. All oscar nominees are available for dl btw.

Shaun of teh Dead was a great movie.
Dawn of the dead was ok also. Those were some cool zombize.

That's your opinion, but there are far funnier movies out there. I contend that if you out found that movie fucking hilarious then you must have some very low standards for comedy.

Of course it's my opinion. I hate when people say that. "Well, it's my opinion that, blah blah..." How about we just all understand that any non-factual position I advance is an opinion, and that I'll defend that opinion, but I'm not retarded so I realize we can't find the answer to this in a dictionary or the Farmer's Almanac?

Indeed. It might make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. (Not because I'll turn big and green, but because- when agitated- I start trying to speak to fast, leading to a slight but still unfortunate 'babbling' problem. It's not so much a stutter as it is, I mush words together and can't get them out. Also, my face will be red and spit might fly.)

Big, defends his position AND swears on the internet. Out of curiousity, fucker, give me a few movies you think are far funnier than Shaun of the Dead.

Shaun of the Dead is one of those movies that the more you see it, the funnier it gets. There is a lot of subtle humor, which is what makes it so great. Office Space is the same kind of movie. The first time I watched it, I was unimpressed. Now, after seeing it a brazillion times, I think it is a masterpiece.

If you only saw Shaun of the Dead once, I recommend seeing it again.

I'll go with about 1/2 your list being as funny or funnier than Shawn of the Dead, but Club Dread was one of the worst movies ever made, after that crap I am barely interested in seeing Beerfest.

Have you seen 'Extras' yet....I think you'd enjoy it. Same writers as 'The Office'.. here's a little clip:

Ok, I thought I'd get an idea on how other people rated the films that you find funnier than SOTD. So I went onto http://www.imdb.com (Internet movie database - in case you weren't aware of it.) On this site you can rate films. Most of the films that you listed had 10,000 votes or more (60,00 in some cases, lower in others) so I think the reflection is fair. As you can see I put the scores out of 10 next to each film.

Here's what people thought of ...

SOTD - 7.9/10 (40,000 votes)

Hot Fuzz - 8.3/10 (3,650 votes)

Make of it what you will.

See, the joke was that I insulted you for swearing, and then IMMEDIATELY swore. I figured it'd make it easier to get if I made the swearing parenthetical and wholly unneccessary, but I guess not. See, I grooved one for you, and you STILL completely whiffed on the joke. It may not have been funny, but at least it proves your inability to recognize humor, failed or otherwise.

Also, I stopped reading your list when I got to "The Sweetest Thing," which is arguably the stupidest movie I have ever fucking seen.

I'm not sure how to interperet your list, except that "The Sweetest Thing" received a 4.6/10, which is the second lowest score on a list where no movie outscores Shaun of the Dead. I'm not saying I agree with the list, or that I believe a popular vote should determine whether a movie is funny or not. I'm just saying aadams_54 is probably stupid.

Cheers,

Wang

just curious, did you have a preference as to the color of the paint chips you ate as a child? or was it just whatever was available?

That movie was B-A-D BAD. Your ability to judge humor has been forever tainted by the fact that you even mentioned this movie.

No, it doesn't.

But good response, anyway. I see you decided to just drop everything else, and let your whole argument rest upon, "The joke you made two posts ago that I didn't even recognize as a joke- the joke you admitted wasn't even that funny- wasn't that funny. Ergo, my sense of humor is superior to yours."

I'll admit, I'm flummoxed. I think I just have to let you win this one. When it comes to matters of humor and comedy, aadams_22 is now officially more qualified than Shimmering Wang. I'm sure everyone else here will agree.

Wait a second... no they won't, because I think most people like me (or are at least ambivalent), wheareas most people actively dislike you. I'll take, "Ironic twists and the reverse of highschool please, Alex."

I'm going to be Prom King.

You and your ten dollar words.

And even though I think you're both gay with a capital F for having this argument, I feel the need to point out just one thing about The Sweetest Thing:


What a lovely ride
Your penis is a thrill
Your penis is a Cadillac
A giant Coupe de Ville
Your penis packs a wallop
Your penis brings a load
And when it makes a delivery
It needs its own zip code
Nine - double zero - penis

You're too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here

Your penis is so strong
Your penis is so smooth
Your penis has got a rhythm
Your penis makes me groove
Your penis is a dream
The biggest one I've seen
It's oozy and it's green
(spoken) Ewww
(spoken) Sorry

You're too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here

You're too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here

Your penis is so big
Your penis is so thick
Your penis is so pretty
You've got a handsome dick

Your penis is so hard
Your penis is so large
My body is a movie
And your penis is the star
"Staring your penis"

You're too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here
too big to fit in here

Since when are you and shake most people?

The fact of the matter is I'm very opinionated, and I'm not afraid to open my mouth when I think the situation warrants it. Does that make me right all the time...absolutely not, but that's going to stop me from saying what's on my mind. If I turn a couple people off to me then so be it. It's their problem, not mine. I honestly don't care...I do not need everyone's approval to make myself feel good. People need to take what I have to say with a grain of salt, but you decide to go the complete other direction and berate me...and that's fine. If that's what you need to inflate your ego then more power to you.

Beerfest redeems Broken Lizard after the crap that was Club Dread. It's no Super Troopers, but it's pretty funny.

You're a rebel, pure and simple. I, on the otherhand, pander for the approval of the masses every chance I get. If I ever create a joke account, it's going to be "PanderBear," because think about the imagery! You'll think of a panda bear (or maybe just a regular brown bear, possible a polar), and he'll be, like, jumping around, telling dirty jokes, playing to everyone's basest desirest.

And the "take what I say with a grain of salt" comment was unneccessary after you told the entire world you proclaimed in no uncertain terms that you think "The Sweetest Thing" is funny. I'll see you in The Hideout, buddy. In case you have trouble picking me out, I'll be the only one posting.
