For instance, when watching an action flick or a comic book/super hero movie, I'm not looking for really deep substance. I'm looking for entertainment with lots of flashy lights and loud noises  
When watching a comedy, I'm not looking for the underlying social commentary. I'm looking to laugh whether it's a funny joke or a smart joke or a fart joke or whatever. |
My dog likes watching bright and shiny objects to.
I find most of the new blockbuster action flicks and comedies insipid...blow em up and moronic and droll comedy. NO character development, no dialog, no plot..just special fx's and stupid jokes that are not funny. I won't ...can't watch them.
A Fish Called Wanda..John Cleese of Monty Python...British humor at it's best.
Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels...Guy Richie, the dialog was sharp and witty.
The Road to Perdition, Millers Crossing, Usual Suspects, LA Confidential, Training Day, Devil In A Blue Dress, Das Boot are examples of well developed plots, dialog and characterization. Satisfying movies.
Another great movie was Richard Lesters (Hard Days Night) The Three Musketeers and the sequel The Four Musketeers....all star cast....the interplay was perfection.
