Scream good, scary movie bad (never watched them but I’ve seen enough) NEXT Naked Gun, all three good Die Hard, one GOAT, two the exact same (so bad), three okay (better if you are familiar with NYC geography) Indiana Jones: first GOAT, second under appreciated, third overappreciated but still really really good

Yeah 3 is the worst Scream but if that's the worst then it's pretty good compared to a lot of franchises. 4 was a lot better than it should have been despite being shot and lit like softcore porn

Indy 3 was always my favourite. Ford and Connery were so good together

I didn't like the piss scene and I didn't like anything else in scary movie 3 either. I didn't watch 4.

Fairly sure more Nazis die in Downfall than in any Indiana Jones film. I mean it's practically the whole point of the thing.

I saw it in my early teens after some friends introduced me to it, and it's just amazing. It is legitimately a masterpiece.

i will say even having rewatched all of them over the past year or so pretty much the only thing i remember from the third one is the joke of a sexy lady revealing she has a big penis causing someone to throw up, as was federal mandate in the 90s

The third Naked Gun has OJ catching babies like footballs while they reenact The Untouchables. The trans joke in the movie is pretty awful. The legs going all the way up gag was great.

Watching this shot again, the camera barely manages to pan far enough down in time. I can't imagine what a pain in the rear end it would have been if they had missed the shot.

It just blows my mind to think about the fact that someone wrote up this idea, people went out of their way to spend days, posibly weeks, constructing this object just to smash for just this one shot, then they filmed it and it smashed and that was the joke. It's loving hilarious, especially when you compare it against modern comedy movies where the jokes are all verbal and thought up only a few minutes before the camera started rolling, or product placements of things they probably sent an intern out to buy during their lunch break, and the joke at the end of the day is almost non-existant and will get at most a 'heh' out of a handful of people in a theatre and immediately be forgotten about.

Good physical comedy is usually timeless. It's why some of those old comedy acts are still watchable for the most part.

The before-times. When movie action /comedy set pieces had to be planned in advance and painstakingly prepared for before shooting instead of just slapped together day-of or even after shooting is complete. The horror

This is probably the single greatest indictment of Paul Feig I've ever read: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/magazine/the-man-who-makes-the-worlds-funniest-people-even-funnier.html Read the whole thing, but... quote:Improvisation creates spontaneous magic, but by definition it’s slapdash and unrefined. As Mike Myers once recalled the comedian Dave Foley saying, “Most improv could do with a rewrite.” quote:When Apatow and McKay began directing movies, they used a technique that others have adopted: They shoot a scene once or twice as written, then subject it to a number of improvised variations in which the actors deliver lines of alternate dialogue (“alts”) that either they devise or the director supplies. quote:Manipulating an editing program called Avid, he skipped backward from the sequence in which Aldo unties Susan to an earlier sequence in the same scene, in which Aldo praises her abilities. It was an important point in the development of her character, and one that the film played momentarily for its inspirational quality before taking a funny turn into fatalism. As scripted, the pep talk ends like so: quote:“Bosom — what?” Aldo blurted. quote:White noted that Apatow, when shooting a film, will sometimes “have something he wants to say, but he doesn’t know exactly where it goes in the movie. Does it service the end? Does it go early? So he’ll shoot the same exact scene, the same exchange, with the actors in different wardrobes, so that I can slot it in at different points.” quote:While White manned his keyboard, Feig, dressed dandyishly in a navy pinstripe suit with fluorescent floral-print socks and shiny brown wingtips, commandeered a leather swivel chair and fidgeted with different things: a plastic stress toy, an antique walking stick (Feig collects them), a Chinese fan, a mug of tea, his lower lip.

more than anything, watching naked gun movies or mel brooks movies just makes me sad that NO ONE can apparently replicate that anymore.
