Really Funny Movie

[ladywhy]

Ok...out of the blue this 'friend" (more acquaintance) calls me up and asks if I want to go to Rehoboth Beach (DE) for a couple of days. (a friend lent her a house on the beach) Another call comes in during this conversation..and I say, Hang on. It's another friend (real) and I ask him if he can watch my dog for a couple. He says, Yea..no problem..do you need a little money? (If that 'ain't friendship, I don't know what is..lol) Get back on line with "aquaintance" and say, "Yes" LOVE TO GO! Now..I am getting packed, leaving tonight. I have never lived inland before, and I sooo miss the ocean...I am lookin' forward to tomorrow's sunset...like you would not believe. So, i've spent all afternoon on the phone talking about this blessing falling from the sky...and doesn't this "friend" call me back and without much ado..tells me..the whole thing has fallen through...we can't stay at the house. This is actually not the 1rst time she has let me down...but..oh well. So instead tonight I want to rent the funniest movie anyone can think of.....I remember Jasper mentioning one but can't find the thread... Does anyone have a funny movie that sticks out in their befuddled minds? I need a good laugh! Thanks for listening.

[meki]

Well--- did ya get to see it yet?

*pants* *wags tail* *thump thumpthummp* on floor...

Drowning Mona is a little known but great little movie.. has a stellar cast with Bette Midler who is wickedly funny in this, Danny DeVito, Jamie Lee Curtis, Neve Campbell, Casey Affleck and other faces you'll recognize.  Offbeat funny, my favourite kind.

Shaun of the Dead....also offbeat funny...see a trend here?  :)  British comedy...a zombie movie with a comedic twist.  Yeah, there's gore but it serves a comedic purpose!

I also like Jackie Chan movies...lots of fun.

I've been stuck here in the house too long, and ... well you know it gets one down.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (George Clooney) ... Steve Martin movies of course (Three Amigos, The Jerk), Raising Arizona is great. And (via netflix) I've gone thru all the Cheers episodes (sometimes it's nice to have a short humor fix).

Cheers!

"A fish called Wanda"-Cleese, Kline, & Jamie Curtis/ "Ruthless people"-Bette
Middler, Devito. Both are a hoot! jm

I saw this during TX and laughed my head off so it HAS to be funny!!

Ringers  

You should be able to get it at any rental store.  Another one I thought was hilarious is

Love Stinks  (I've seen it 50 times and still laugh)

[ladywhy]

[ladywhy]

Oh...I'm so glad you like it...you're such a nice guy. Will you be ready for the High Seas! lol

[Andiamo1]

I thought water was one of the all time best movies I have ever seen.  I couldn't get out of my seat when it ended, I was so blown away by it.  It sure wasn't funny though.

You take good care of yourself.  We have a sail date when we reach SVR.

[GoofyDad]

Another vote for that Me Myself and Irene movie. FUNNNNNNNNY.

Also, if you haven't seen Weeds, that's a fun disc to rent. Seasons 1 & 2 available. 4 discs in all - about 12 hours of watching.

[meki]

Ooooooooooooooh --- That's scary.... LMAO!

Well - if you've got any missing folks from nearby towns. *cough*..... Uhm... well you could call Animal Control and let them handle it.

Oooh - ick.  No matter what it is...

Well-- here's hoping the wind gives you a blow in the opposite direction.

LOL!

Supposing it was/is a deer? What the heck would you do? Saddle up in your yellow foul weather gear and drag it off a mile or so?

Hey what classes are you taking? Prying minds want to know?  

[Bill1954]

I dunno Meki. I put on long pants, boots and grabbed a stick to warn the rattlesnakes off. The wind was blowing a little, and moved the target around. It’s still out there, but I’m perfectly content to let nature take it’s course; as long as I don’t gag at night ;o). I’m assuming it’s a deer; then yesterday I started thinking maybe it’s one of the cows from across the way… Then I started thinking maybe it’s one of the people that own the cows… see what happens when I get to much time on my hands?

Bill

[meki]

Well Bill --- what was it?

LOL --- the morbidly curious in me wants to know... LOL!

And lady --- didja get to see it? I'm dying to know if it's just me who liked it... LOL!

[Bill1954]

I’m having trouble sleeping as well. It’s been hot here the last few days (105 F) and SOMETHING big must have crawled into the woods nearby and died. I smelled it earlier today and made a token effort to locate it… I wasn’t sure I wanted to at the time ;). Now, 12 hours later, it’s cooking off before the critters can take care of it. Well, I guess I know what I’m doing in the morning.

Those were some very kind compliments you paid to me up above. I feel very comfortable talking with you too. If you ever get the hankering, you can reach me at: w dot keyes at att dot net.

Yawning Bill (zzzzz…)

[ladybug52]

Who says ya'll and who says you guys when they mean everyone? Even though I live in Texas, I'm more comfortable with you guys as a general term for everyone, ya'll. (guys and girls)
Well, I loved The Royal Tenenbaums. Don't know if I spelled it correctly.
Jennifer Weiner..."In Her Shoes", "Little Earthquakes", and "Goodnight Nobody" are her other books.
Teufelhunden, time with the grandkids is soooo sweet, right? How old are they? I only have one and I could video tape her eating crackers and considerate a big event:)
When is the 3 month pcr? I'm supposed to go in this month for the 6 month variety. Good luck, I'll be waiting to hear your good news.

Aha---- I've turned someone on to some innane stupidity! Woohooo!

Call me the Kung Fu Hustle Pusher.... LOL!

It's really hilarious in a really weird way... YOU HAVE TO GET PAST THE FIRST 20 minutes.

English subtitles ---- English voices are HILARIOUS.... Because they don't always say what the subtitles say.

Oh - you so will think it's funny.

I'm so suprised it didn't make it big... It's a blockbuster kind of movie... I think it's Mandarin.

And the outtakes are even funnier! Even if you don't understand them!

OOOOohhh - I can't wait to hear if you liked it. LOL!

[Teufelhunden]

Had all three grandkids spend the night last night. They kept me hopping but it felt good!  Trying to make up for the past 11 months of treatment. Post tx is the greatest!!  I go in this month for my 3 month PCR. Hope you enjoyed your movie!  Take care.

GrandmaA: I would love to take an art class...I did Art 101 at a local college a few years ago and loved it. I know within there is potential for creativity... just have to carve out some time and believe in myself.  Feel so much better when I do something in the arts. Kudos to you, woman!
o.k. Miss Meki...Kung Fu Hustle it is....I better be L*M*H*O...or you will hearing about it!
orphaned hawk: Try Jennifer Weiner (Author), "Good In Bed." Ladybug sent me a copy. It is hysterical...I mean it. I was told she has other books equally funny. Maybe revisit Pink Panther...I don't know...don't think I "got it" many many years ago. Mr. Bean, that guy is hysterical! I used to catch him on PBS.
Dee: We are in agreement on all frronts. it seems. Let me know what you think of "Water." BTW, my (male) friend watched it with me...and he is not a fan of subtitles or foreign films (or "girly" movies...which this isn't) and he really liked it.
Pro: I think i saw that...and it was more in the category of...hate? No reflection on you...I'm not even sure it's the same movie I watched. Even before tx...I can be watching a movie and my mind drifts..... I used to watch football for "years" with a boyfriend...every Sunday...Monday night...I kinda would go into a "Zen" state. I don't have a clue about football! He'd walk outta the room and there would be a touchdown (or somethin')...come running in and ask me what happened?  I would just shrug my shoulders.....
Enjoy your day, Ladies & Gents

Ladywhy: How about those old Peter Sellers movies? I loved the Pink Panther series. Or any of Mr. Bean.  And if you want light, easy ,funny reading, try Janet Evanovitch.

Meki: I love Jackie Chan movies too. Kung Fu with humor.

[GrandmaA]

I'm starting watercolor class in a week. It will be so much fun. I have wanted to do something creative for years. After I feel better (I only have 2 more weeks of tx), I will look for a part time job.
