Perestroika posted:Under the Shadow recently popped up on Netflix, and I've been very pleasantly surprised by it. It's a rather slow burn especially during the beginning, but it manages to build up to some really incredibly tense and creepy moments. The unique setting (Tehran during the Iran-Iraq war) keeps things fresh and interesting, and the movie manages to walk a fine line of ambivalence where you're never quite sure what is real and what may just be imagined by the characters. Yeah it's pretty good. More than anything I liked how much character focus there was, which is pretty rare in horror movies. it would hold up allright even without the horror aspect. The scares are really few and far between though.

Filthy Hans posted:The Dominic Purcell movie was Assault on Wall St. Rampage 2 had the same lead (Brendan Fletcher) as the first one, but in the second he shaves his head, grows a thick beard, holds a TV station hostage and has daddy issue phone calls with his parents before murdering everyone.

Tween-safe Stand-up comedians? Cussing doesn't bother me, but explicit sex jokes and drug jokes are a challenge - some aren't that horrible, and then OH poo poo A BONG-HIT-BLOWJOB JOKE poo poo SKIP SKIP SKIP. My boys love comedy. Love stand-up comedians like Kevin Hart, and I've found TV-edited stand-up shows, but I'm at a loss for comedians that don't get HELLA explicit but also don't tell jokes about the glory of jesus. I found Jim Gaffigan, he's amusing but kind of uhh, I don't want to say boring, maybe an acquired taste? Any suggestions other than Bill Cosby? Like - even George Carlin kind of stuff is worthy, I think.

magnificent7 posted:Tween-safe Stand-up comedians? Patton Oswalt isn't clean, but he doesn't discuss sex a lot either. If you're fine with Carlin, you're probably fine with Oswalt. Mike Birbiglia and Jerry Seinfeld fit the "clean" image pretty well. I don't remember a lot of raunchy humor in Demetri Martin's stuff either.

He did starting out, but after Funny People, he dropped a lot of the vulgarities with his "Rodney" character, or whatever he called it. Mitch Hedberg, Steven Wright. Eddie Izzard is great, though I don't know you or your kids stance on cross dressing.

He didn't have much to go on during the Obama Administration. Though I'll admit, I don't really follow standup comedy.

Don't let your tweens hear sex jokes. They don't learn about sex until their mid-20's these days.

magnificent7 posted:It's not the learning about - it's the jizz-splosion jokes that inevitably show up. I'm not uncomfortable with sex topics, just these odd moments that spurt into the jokes and I want to cringe. the best bit he does is "the salt and pepper diner" if you're not crying with laughter by the end of it....I dunno man.

Short Penguin posted:the best bit he does is "the salt and pepper diner" I dunno, the titular "New In Town" bit and "Chasing the Train" bits are great. "Def Jam Home Alone Jokes" is a personal favorite, too. Mulaney's a funny guy. He deserves to do something big, maybe like a stint on broadway, instead of those "Oh Hello" codgers that stink up the stage with too many tuna jokes.

It's crazy to think that Space Ghost either directly or indirectly spawned an entire genre of comedy and it's still classier than the competition.

Which is odd, because early 2000 and 2001 will always be remembered as some of the most fun years in America! I'm sure it was mentioned, but for family friendly comedians, you can't go wrong with Brian Regan.
