I said "with very few exceptions" HAHAHA!!!!!!! I said "with very few exceptions" Who says it isn't? Radiation may very well be slowly killing hundreds of people who have been exposed to the beast. I am amused at people who apply their OPINION about how good or bad someone is. All I have to say is - Are you a famous <insert profession here>? If not, then you have no opinion that is valid. Your opinion. Not mine. I personally think that he is a great director. The name Broderick Crawford confused me, because his character was a police officer. But, yes, you were right, Barnaby was a P.I. Response to comedy is a personal thing. What makes one person hold their sides in laughter makes another uncomfortable. You didn't find it funny? That's okay. Personally, it is my all time favorite movie comedy. Nothing before (or since) has made me laugh or chuckle as this film has. Simple. Assaulting an officer of the law can carry a stiff penalty I love movies. Always have. And I am not telling anyone what to do, but when I am on vacation, movie watching is the furthest thing from my mind. Vacation is for doing things differently than you usually do. Great song in the greatest patriotic musical ever made! Your opinion, not shared by thousands of people (Me included). Well, I have found that complaining about something you cannot do anything about is a waste of one's energy. You don't like the premise? That's fine. Not every movie is everyone's taste. I personally have seen all three. The first, in my humble opinion, is a masterpiece of suspense and tension, with very little gore (I am NOT a gore hound but will understand the need for extreme violence and bloodshed if it moves the story along properly. I am a big fan of the original Dawn of the Dead) I don't like the Fast and The Furious franchise. I watched the first one and was bored with it (I am not a "car guy"), but I understand that there are a lot of car guys out there that these films are right up their alley. I agree. Actually, there are two films that I watch every year around July 4th, Jaws being one of them (I actually watched it this year on July 3rd as the wife and I had party plans on the 4th.) And the other film I watch? "Yankee Doodle Dandy" starring Jimmy Cagney. If you want an old-fashioned feel-good film that might make your heart soar, it's this one. Interesting that you say this dumb premise spawned three movies. That tells me that you watched all three. If you had watched the first and then not the others, you might sound credible. George A. Romero felt the same way. In an interview many years ago, he said he was a person who hates confrontations, but, at the same time, puts characters in his films into confrontations, at times very extreme confrontations. I love all movies. From the silents the new modern classics. This movie was no exception. Great cast, great direction, great suspense. Martin and Lewis as a comedy team had some hits, but it was destined to fall apart, considering how Lewis's ego kept getting in the way of their success. I will give the man credit for his incredible work supporting Muscular Dystrophy research and his marathon telethons to raise money, but I never found him particularly funny, and, though I have nothing to substantiate what I have heard, he was supposedly a bit of an egotistical jerk. Really? You are attaching a perversion to an actor playing a part? Another idiot I am putting on "ignore". Ah yes! Another one of those conspiracy theory nuts that inhabit these boards day in and day out. I feel sorry for people like you. You see bad things in EVERYTHING you experience. If DeNiro had died, it would have been big news, and we would have all heard it. And since you are wasting our time with this drivel, I am going to do the sane thing. Put you on "Ignore".
