Is that the one where Adam Sandler is a Mossad Agent? quote:And I wasn't expecting "optimized propaganda." Just accuracy and a good overall message. Sounds like the latter was achieved, but not the former. Why? The target audience was mostly Americans. Why bother with accuracy when dick jokes are easier and likelier to be received well by the target demographic for a Franco-Rogan joint?

Absurd Alhazred, there's a reason why comedies aren't getting greenlit any more, and its foreign audiences. Find me enough jokes which play in America and at oversea markets that aren't rooted in low humor, and I'll find you a producer's #. syscall girl posted:Americans say they would eat grass before watching a Rob Schneider movie but the joke's on them, glorious best Korea theater gives you an entire bag of grass with ticket purchase.

Israeli's got a kick out of him using hummus for everything. quote:Why? The target audience was mostly Americans.

"Expecting" was a bad way to phrase it, but it would've been nice if they did.

Exactly, low humor plays across cultures as divided as I/P. Everyone laughs at a fart joke, even North Koreans. Hell, especially North Koreans. What are they gonna do, not laugh at Seth Rogan failing to use chopsticks and then going crazy for kimchi? That's called soft power, Absurd Alhazred, something which your ponytail indicates your inability to discern. Randler posted:

I was watching some paranoiac youtube thing about Kubrick and kept following the next recommendation and apparently Stanley had George C Scott doing multiple serious takes for his scenes and then 1 "oh hey, why don't you try to play it for laughs, and uh light levels *cough*" and only used the manic frothing takes in the final cut.  Kubrick played some dirty pool.

Why does the US Armed Forces have four different branches each with their own structures and chains of command? That seems stupid and wasteful to me. Fold them all in together, that's what I say.

Fold them all in together, that's what I say. The point is to have only an elected official, the President, with control over the whole of the military establishment, to prevent coups. It's also a way of spurring innovation, as branches can compete on developing new technology and ideas. Would you like to know more?
