that movie from like 10 years ago... Pauly Shore is Dead? it's on amazon... it is really sad... its just him driving himsefl around the country playingin abysmally small comedy clubs and trying (and failing) to sleep with his quite aged and drunk fans... it's some prime black humor

All the lines feel like they were pieced together from unrelated recordings. Do any of these people know they're "starring" in this?

Anyway, I was looking up showtimes for Moonfall and I have no clue how many local theater thinks it is going to do. It is showing in two theaters, Imax and one of the tiny ones that barely has any seats.

I remember when the 2002 Pinocchio was getting advertised. Wondering who the gently caress is going to go see this movie. At the time I had no idea who Begnini was.

It was his next directed film yes. He apparently acted in an Asterix and Obelisk movie before doing Pinocchio.

My favorite take on Life Is Beautiful was when I saw someone speculate that the kid would definitely group up to be a Holocaust denier.

I always liked Life is Beautiful and Benigni. Johnny Stecchino is a classic too.
He was kind of the wholesome anti-Polanski because instead of constantly casting his wife in weird hosed up psychosexual roles (or as like, the devil), Benigni would always invariably have his wife show up as DA MOST BEAAAUTIFUL WOMAN IN DA WOOORLD MAMMA MIAAAA!!!!

I remember when that Pinocchio movie came out there were some mentions of it being total nightmare fuel and bizarre but it was a relatively faithful adaptation of the book, I dug it and it looks pretty good too. It definitely drags a bit at points.

I had Comedy Central on in the background Saturday morning and commercials for that were nonstop. It made me think to the period of around ten years ago when there was just a string of absolute garbage animated shows that lasted for five episodes, like Allen Gregory, Napoleon Dynamite, Sit Down Shut Up, I'm sure many others I've blocked from memory.

Also out of curiosity, I looked it up and Comedy Central currently only has five original shows airing. Daily Show, South Park, the Crank Yankers revival, the Awkwafina show, and Comedy Central Roasts which barely counts.

It’s just so weird that an Italian-made children’s film, starring a then almost 50 year old man as a child/puppet, was dumped into theaters on Christmas Day in the US. No advanced screening of course. I doubt the vast majority of Americans had a clue who Benigni is. Weirder still there we’re Happy Meal toys to promote the film.

It's kind of a shame because the 2010s were actually pretty good time for Comedy Central. Nathan For You, Review, Broad City, Key and Peele are all fantastic.

It's also weird because they apparently cancelled Drunk History, a show which felt like they could just keep making forever.

Absolutely, those were all great. Also loved Another Period and The Nightly Show, which I can't believe they canceled just before Trump was elected, when I bet it would have done a lot better. According to Wikipedia, its ratings tanked after Stewart left The Daily Show, which I don't get.

It's also kind of crazy that Review just isn't available to watch anywhere.

Review really was the best, like the absolutely bonkers prison episode where every single person takes the imaginary friend thing way too far and it ends with the imaginary friend getting shivved.

Reminds me that KC Green made a comic adaptation of Pinocchio that's being posted in the webcomics threads. It's also pretty accurate line-by-line to the book, and pretty messed up as a result.

Yeah, and like it's entirely just about how kids shouldn't be little shits because they don't know what's good for them.

The KC Green comics are funny because of how absurd they are but it's honestly a crap story, I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with trying to make it into films constantly.

Nostalgia, mostly. Maybe it hit differently to generations that weren't raised by boomers and thus used to the parents being immature, lying shits with no self-control.

It kind if makes sense though, knowing their hit rate, for every show you enjoyed and remember there's probably 8-10 awful ones that didn't last past a season.

i mean, comedy central's gimick for literally the entire time they've been a channel has been "Hey, we've got something good here. Better cancel it and try something different and worse."

I have never once read anything from anyone with anything positive to say about Allen Gregory.

No matter how lovely something is, you can usually find someone who likes it, but not that show. (Now some insane goon is gonna bust in and prove me wrong).

Review is insanely good. One of those shows that just hits a level of quality right out the gate and maintains it. Andy Daly is so loving good.

That bitmoji show looks pretty bad but its basically voiced by a bunch of B/C tier LA comedians so it may just be a vehicle to tell some jokes. Which means it may actually be watchable as a show, just not as an animation.

I'd say their entire gimmick is "we run almost exclusively repeats of funny stuff from other places with one or two new episodes of our shows a day."

Back around 2000 they would run literally 8 hours of SNL a day, add in about 4 or 5 hours of being off air, a few episodes of Who's Line, that Dana Carvey stand-up special, and a movie and that only gives you a few hours for your own stuff.
