Recommend me a recent film that is funny.

[Orang Utan]

i saw ghost town. <shudders>

 

[Orang Utan]

I cannot in all honesty recommend The Invention of Lying.

oh, wait, are you telling the truth or lying?

 

[Santino]

Either way, it's just shit.

 

[Corax]

I've been watching Waterworld in small doses. That's quite funny.

 

[Part 2]

You seen A Town Called Panic OU?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1433540/

Brilliant film, plenty of laughs and quite bizarre.

As is Rubber of you've not seen that.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1612774/

 

[Kaka Tim]

oh, how rude, i did not notice this post. that's very kind of you. i should probably start working on my dad's collection though. not many comedies but hundreds of westerns and shitloads of european and japanese classics. he does have a few comedies like pink panther, team america and south park though. odd!

No worries. Happy to help out if you're skint and bored!

I DLed A Town Called Panic last week, but couldn't work out how to get the subtitles to work
Rubber looks odd! it's made my Mr Oizo IIRC

 

[Clair De Lune]

watched bridesmaids the other night. Total bag of shite.

Another vote for a town called panic.

Also Super.

 

[Private Storm]

Cedar Rapids is gash.

I saw 'grown ups' the other day and thought it was reasonable.

TCP, subtitles depends what you're playing it on, are they hard encoded or in a separate file?

Rubber is Mr Oizo, very odd rather than funny I suppose but it's only short and just having a tyre called Robert is orth a laugh.

 

[Orang Utan]

separate files

?? I had to turn it off a quarter way...nothing worse than watching a bad comedy.

It's nearly 5 years old but have you seen Beerfest? It's seemingly okay for miserable folk.

Also 'Youth in Revolt' - one my favs, unsure if it falls under 'comedy' though.

Most of the funny stuff happened in the background tbf.

beerfest sounds well lame.
re: youth in revolt - why not a comedy? does it do what the OP asks?

just 'reasonable'?

 

[Part 2]

separate files

File names for subtitle and film need to be the same, just the extensions different, and both files in the same directory.

 

[Orang Utan]

but how do you play them?

 

[Part 2]

Is the film an avi?

I use vlc or quicktime. You use a mac don't you?

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

 

[Orang Utan]

aye, and i have vlc. do i just play it through that then and it does it for you?

 

[Part 2]

that's what I usually do yeah

 

[Orang Utan]

damn, why did i delete it

You can download subtitle files for most films really easily

http://www.opensubtitles.org/en - for example.

 

[sim667]

just 'reasonable'?

Yeah, reasonable, not a masterpiece.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, reasonable, not a masterpiece.

i want a very funny film, not just one that's just a bit funny. there don't seem to be many about

 

[sim667]

freddy got fingered?

beerfest is very similar to Dodgeball - stupid American piss-take out of Europeans.

Youth in Revolt is funny and smart.
