comedy in death, violence, despair and everything in between

WARNING: the footages you are about to see may contain materials unsuitable for children. so make sure you read them without an adult present. cause it would be silly to get caugt for learning something you will definitely abuse later on too early in your life. :). it could also contain spoilers. so if you're one of those ewwwww dont tell me. do not continue. you have been warned. oh! this is not a review...

i dont consider my self an expert at movies. or even claim i have good taste. the movies i watch range from, corny chick flicks and porn (for the story - ha ha?). obviously - everything else in between. i have never underestimated the power of drama and/or dramatic moments. it entertains me. actually alot of things entertain me. im so very easily pleased. however it may vary - the objective in which we spend our well earned R&R from the life drawing - social life murdering - family neglecting charade we call 'WORK', theres at least 20 minimum minutes where we get our fix from the silver screen (or in my case, the 32in Bravia TV :)~). theres very few reactions i have toward such moments and that it - makes me laugh.
however, i have come accross several (if not, at least one) individuals that find the things i find funny to be sick. forgive me. but this is not about them. this is about me.
---------------------------------------------------------
'Smokin' Aces' - Ben is dead, and moments later i was rolling on the floor. ive watched this movie too many times - and this part gets me. all the time. - i forgive you darling -

---------------------------------------------------------
'300' - now this scene - oh how i wish (yes it crossed my mind) that the spear actually tears through our 'already weird looking villain' xerxes (in the mouth none the less). the comedy in this scene for me is the fact that - my hero, had missed a once in a lifetime chance to change history. in the background im sure one or several spartans would be cursing leonidas. "Hey FUCK! you missed!". the aftermath moments later lead our heroes to an ending in which they never returned to the magic kingdom. - tragic oops -

---------------------------------------------------------
'Casino Royale' - quite a scene. none other than 'casino royale'. this scene is special to me. i did not come to this conclusion til after the movie had ended. wished james picked the car instead. cheaper and less hassle. nothing a 10 ringgit car wash couldnt fix eh? - ok fine, im a little off topic, the funny part is - how dramatic the car made its entrance and its wasteful exit -
---------------------------------------------------------V

---------------------------------------------------------
'Gladiaror' - i know im not alone in this. the part where maximus - slowly but surely, full of satisfaction (before his own life ended) drove the dagger right through... i was cheering. i even clapped in the cinema. if only i could have cheered at the top of my lung "HELL YEAH!"
---------------------------------------------------------V

---------------------------------------------------------
i cant quite put the pieces together on why i actually find this scene funny. its just something you'd have to see and judge on your own i guess. theres lots of pain for all the wrong reasons. obviously. titled - just friends -

---------------------------------------------------------
'perfume - the story of a murderer' - in case you are wondering - thats a 'man-of-the-cloth' having sex on the table. along with other noblemen. judges jury and what not. in public. on the stage. this scene takes the cake. the whole cake! it is one of the most "WTF?" scene ever filmed. it is... to me, the largest orgy scene ever. it totally ruined the film for me. this happened before the murderer was scheduled to be executed. i remembered (correct me if im wrong - and if you too had tragically accidentally watched this film) he waived a white hanky with his work of art (perfume) and suddenly... they were all fucking. and he, was not executed - but they ate him later - (wtf? yes... wtf) funny as hell though.

'blood diamond' - 'ya ya, it occured to me ah (laughter in pain) - nuff' sed.
---------------------------------------------------------V

---------------------------------------------------------
'crank' - yes... this movie is an absolute horror of a film in my opinion. but i sat through it. and this scene, i dont know... its kinda... to... very... appealing. hahahaha... they were goin at it in public. now now, stop what ever you were thiking about me. before you judge me... it hasnt crossed your mind? stop! we all know thats not true. the difference is,- i said it before you did -
--------------------------------------------------------- V

---------------------------------------------------------
'domino' - a conversation between 2 men about how god awful truth is that men get weak over women. and how he blew his own toe off just to numb the pain. i wanted to try it. i didnt have a gun.
---------------------------------------------------------V

---------------------------------------------------------
'mr & mrs smith' - comedy! comedy in domestic violence! that brad btw... kicking angie on the tipped over couch. brilliant!
---------------------------------------------------------V

---------------------------------------------------------
'hard candy' - how this pedo was trying so hard to talk his way out of being... castrated. theres twisted comedy there. it was mind blowing!
---------------------------------------------------------V

---------------------------------------------------------
Ok thats enough for now. on another note - i have come across people whom actually look for the morale in a movie and apply it in their daily life. ive also come across people who changed their life just by watching a movie. i, on the other hand - am not one of these people. its a movie... and it entertains me. so IF i fail to see a movie with the same point of view - or unable to comprehend the lessons it teaches me like how it has you... well... good for you smart ass! i GET OFF another way. :). dont let people tell you what to watch - and how you should enjoy your movie. if you enjoy b grade movies because it has corny action that entertains you - watch it! i find comedy in almost everything. there was even a time when i was actually funny in the cruelest and most cynical way - sometimes even downright rude. but thats changed. (now all i do is listen and laugh). however, back to my taste in comedy - am i the only one who finds the above funny? or are there more of US out there? does this make us a 'little off' in any way?

i guess, time will tell.
---------------------------------------------------------
Now i can bet you... if any of the above actually happened to you (or me)... its not funny at all. and im sorry if it did - but thats how it is aint it?

Oh, I also find hard to grasp the concept of the 'queen' fucking another man because she loves the 'king' so much... care to eleborate?
