Am i getting too old for Comedy movies?

[Ryong]

I honestly can't remember what shitty movies I saw.

Maybe because most shitty movies never even got to show up in Brazil but now everything is global so even shitty movies show up.

Edit: I mean fuck, I remember shitty movies of all kinds, but I can't remember shit comedy movies I saw when I was younger.

Probably because, as you alluded to in the sentence before, the shitty movies weren't being shipped out as readily, hence you only saw the cream of the crop that was deemed suitable to ship. I mean, this is what I've been saying. Effectively, someone filtered out the 90% of crap and you saw the 10% good, thus you think the good was all that existed when in fact there was just as much crap as always.

Ultimately, we only remember the good stuff anyway. That's one filter, anyways.

I like to watch movies over and over, and I can tell you Hot Shots! parts one and deux are among the most rewatchable movies I've ever seen. I think I've seen each of them over a hundred times. Like a masterpiece song, they don't get old. Kind of comforting I think, cause no matter what they may do to comedy movies in the future, the classics aren't going to go away.

Goddamnit stop misinterpreting me

Sorry, the way I read it was "I remember almost every shitty movie I watched, and I don't remember shitty comedies from when I was younger, so there were no shitty movies when I was younger." I can see where I missaw.

The whole "Why isn't [entertainment] as good as it once was" reactionaryism is probably one of my biggest pet peeves, so I might have been a little overzealous.

Incidentally i just got my hands on the "Police Squad!" short series, just 6 Episodes, but still beats a ton of Sitcoms old and new

Best two-line dialogue exchange ever??

[Bells]

Even the credits in this show are awesome

Part of what I find hilarious now is the ridiculous culture shift from that time. Also Eddie Murphy often in general.

Hey. I remember Look Who's Talking Now. I mean, not well, but I remember it.
EDIT: also related, the Naked Gun movies.
Also: Oh, man, I forgot about the Police Squad. That's pretty great stuff.

Only tangentially related (by name), I also forgot about Police Academy until the conversation.
