Haven't seen flicker yet but will this afternoon just to see if any
merit to it after the varies responses to its giggles quotient. I prefer
when lopsided response to a comedy like with a Big L or such. But as we
know comedy can be so dependent on mood, age, experience, taste. openness
of viewer. Not everyone gets same humor blast. Have some fem friends
with wide range of fondness for most comedies including classics yet one
can't take Chaplin. Others of that era ok but CC doesn't do it.
Me, I'm in for the whole festival from W.C. Fields through to the better
ones today.
Have become less tolerant of the marginal comedies offered than I used to
be. More selective as it were. Just appreciate the clear winners but less
likely to pump the fence sitters. Those are the near miss efforts that
require viewer to buy into them. Comedy had to reach out to me now rather
than me find its campy aspects, if any.
The mixed style used in some smaller comedies like Horrible Bosses does hold
a lot of mileage but they can be hard to separate good from bad just using critical comments. Have to try for self. Some get it, some don't.
Lastly, kinda glad the glut of thin rom-coms has thinned out for while. Better choices along lines of a Midnight in Paris. But of course not everyone can
have that intelligent respect for audience.
Will see if ST delivers at the level it plays to. Some days the mind just needs a wild-eyed go for it yuck set. Cross fingers. Should know if my thing
within first five minutes.
