Why do you write so little, make it so nonsensical and not even succeed at a proper grammar structure whatsoever?

What you probably meant to say, as far as I can tell, is: "This movie was funny when I was in a teenager body, but it isn't anymore."

Even this is a problematic statement, as the movie DID NOT CHANGE, so it couldn't have been funnier or less funny then than it is 'now', as you mention.

Movies don't change. Therefore, even with your minuscule understanding of english language, you should still have been able to write something more truthful and comprehensible.

How about: "I thought this movie was funny, when I watched it during the time the body I am temporarily inhabiting was in its teenage phase, but now that the body has grown to a more adult state, I realized I had been wrong, and I do not find this movie funny anymore"?

Of course it's a bit long-winded, but that's the price you have to pay for wanting to say something so profoundly superficial. Perhaps it could be shortened to a more opinionated version, like "This movie might be funny to teenagers, but it doesn't make adults laugh".

Furthermore, even IF you had said something like 'I found this movie funny when I was young, but not anymore", which is compact and basically sums up your predictable, robotic point, there is STILL not enough context for an actual post.

So what if you found it funny and now you don't, what's your POINT about it? What are you trying to SAY? Your two separate, different reactions to this one movie mean WHAT, exactly? You could - and perhaps SHOULD - have used that observation of your ever-fluctuating sense of humor as a STARTING point to create a more elaborate and interesting post that has something meaningful and maybe even poignant to say. Simply stating you had two reactions isn't interesting to anyone. It's like posting a pic of your food without context.

Posting a photo of your dinner CAN be interesting, if there's a story behind it, as in 'I bought this expensive sushi meal at this tiny place I found in the backstreets of Nara, and this made me interested in japanese cuisine, so I started learning the history and..', but just posting a photo of your tuna salad has no context and isn't interesting.

In any case, I suggest you learn how to write an ACTUAL SENTENCE before attempting to make more posts in any discussion forums. Learn punctuation, proper title creation, what a sentence is actually supposed to have and so on. Then we can perhaps have an actual discussion. Now you are just wasting space, memory, hard disk storage and server facilities' time, energy, electricity and computing power.

I wonder how much of it is due to Robin's suicide. I see his frantic style as being more about depression now than humour.
