        That looks so wrong, and so hilarious.

I didn't like 2001 or Clockwork. I didn't like Rocky when I first saw it, but it's been a very long time since then. Deer Hunter was just ok, but you gave me some "tips" for when I rewatch it.



          Yes, I know these are only american films, but whatever. Gotta start somewhere. I'm sure BFI has one and there might even be one for global pictures. According to Wikipedia, Roger Ebert considers Sight & Sound's rankings the best: "by far the most respected of the countless polls of great movies—the only one most serious movie people take seriously." So I'll probably get around to that as well. Only seen 8 of the 50 on the 2012 list.
          I'm not a huge fan of Clockwork Orange, but I think it would have been improved if Kubrick had made it based on the original printing of the book and not the American printing. Who the heck edits a book for re-release in a different country by simply truncating the final chapter? Dumb.

            Clockwork and Deer Hunter were simply average, IMO. The highlights of the movies weren't enough to really put them over the edge for me. I also would like to see most of the AFI Top 100 (and the global list, too), but I know I won't watch a couple of them, I simply have zero interest. However, certain actors/actresses, I am trying to see their best movies. For example: She Done Me Wrong with Mae West is an absolute classic. Same with The Public Enemy with Cagney and Harlow.

            Finally, I do try and see originals that have been re-made, such as Scarface.

                Personally, I don’t think it’s that bad. Not sure it looks very funny but I think people doth protest too much.

                    I get why people will think it's racist. I'm not usually one to think people need to apologize gor comedy as I believe what is funny is one of the most subjective things there is...but on this I saw a comment saying it's like vocal blackface and I struggle to argue against it.
                    I won't see it cause for me...cring worthy things are typically not funny but to each their own.

                      It will bomb in theaters, and probably get listed in many of the Siskel and Ebert-style "Worst Movies of 2019" lists the YouTube reviewers like to do every December.

                        Well, whats-his-face (Downey?) did it in Tropic Thunder, in a satirical manner. And then you have the movie White Chicks....

                        For me, what makes it funny is that it IS cringe-worthy. It's pushing a boundary.

                          And I get that...and it is what comedy is supposed to do.
                          But I wonder if Tropic Thunder could be made in 2019...much like could Blazing Saddles be made.
                          Just on the trailer...i'm seeing a modern Soul Man...and that is not good.
                          It was written, directed & produced by the star...

                          And like i said...im not normally into the cringe worthy. I did like RDJ in Tropic Thunder but not the movie overall.
                          I'll be interested to see the reaction this gets.

                              I can't stand Tropic Thunder. I understood what it was doing. It will be interesting to see what happens with this.

                              Similar vein: could you see Three's Company being re-made, with all the gay jokes? That wouldn't fly, either, IMO.

                                Archie Bunker could not be a mainstream TV character today, with his cartoonish sexism and bigotry.
