Because the humour on this was suttle and wasn't spoon fed slap stuck stuff as usual I think I was the only one laughing at certain bits in the showing I was at. (Barr the part where Teddy gets shot)
Thought movie was pretty good...different to the usual nonsense. Dark humour.
Yeah the humor was good. I especially liked when he went to leave the voicemail message and instantly got that feedback. Just how the audio cuts a few words into the message and the image is suddenly him outside. This movie did so many things right.
shareThat was delivered great. Same as him going to all the trouble at the pharmacy to obtain all the medical supplies only to have a quick try and next scene he's gone to the hospital.
shareMy favorite: his attempts to explain the blood on his hands to the drugstore guy. Or, rather, his realization that he couldn't.
And a close runner-up: the guy at the next table in the restaurant asking to borrow the ketchup just as he's about to tell his sister what he's done.
Prepare your minds for a new scale of physical, scientific values, gentlemen.share
Yeh the tomato sauce bit was probably one of the funnier moments in the film.
share yeah, that was good.
today's special: shrimp ceviche!
The fact that he is trying to enact a lethal plan of vengeance and ends up nearly slicing his own hand off just to slash a tire....then realizes he has lost the keys to his own car and he has to drive off in the limo with the tire he just slashed...knife still sticking out of it...
Haha that was great!
shareYeah the humor was so well done. Did anyone else see the pharmacy scene as a reference to No Country For Old Men? I think the director wanted the audience to think he was just as badass as Anton Chigur from the Coens flicks and that he was capable of healing himself, but in the end he fails miserably. I think it was a great job of recognizing that cliche in which the hero is capable of everything and it scales him back to being just a plain guy. Amazing, unexpected film this is.
shareNice one.
shareI loved the scene that showed him thirstily gulping down two glasses of water while he was at the Cleland's house, with the sole intention of creating enough urine just to pee on Wade Sr.'s grave.
This part was pretty funny too: " Just know that the man that killed your parents didn't die by your hand. He smoked and he drank and he... I guess he didn't *beep* 'cause of the cancer,but he watched all his favorite TV shows.."
...now,where was I?
How has nobody mentioned the tool shed!? He walks in and all you see were the garden spurs, the shovel, and rake. He reaches for the spurs? no. He reaches for the shovel? no. He is taking the rake? NO! The pitch fork behind everything!
Although they lost me when he never used it as a weapon...
What I'm shocked no one has mentioned yet is the gun he steals from the truck at the beginning of the film! I definitely got the biggest laugh from the part where he breaks the revolver's cylinder as he's trying to beat the lock off with a crowbar.

"And what about the rest of his head".
shareThe coyotes'll take care of that - unless there's teeth.
sharelol...hell yeah.
shareI found the whole scene where he's talking to the guy in the trunk of his car darkly amusing. When he tells him at the start not to move and the guy says something like "Seems unlikely, my leg's broke". The guy is battered and dehydrated and still has more control over the situation than Dwight.
