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.

Teufelhunden: "Night At The Museum" sounds good for the next movie night. Thanks....and I did invite said friend and instead of popcorn, fresh fruit and almonds and some chips. Haven't "seen" you in awhile...how are you feeling/doing post tx? ...and how are the grandkids?
Myown: I'll also try the Jim Carey movie in the near future. Thanks.
Meki: Little Miss Sunshine, hilarious I like...Jackie Chan...not so much. "300"...can't stand gore and brutality...'nough in real life..
jmjm: Normally, I do like foreign movies w/subtitles...but now I can't read them...eyesight is not what it used to be...need a bigger TV!
GrandmaA: Another lesson learned... I hope you are enjoying the long weekend?...and Thanks
A neighbor dropped by last week and brought over a bootleg "Live Free or Die Hard" movie w/Bruce Willis. Not my "cuppa tea," i really didn't pay much attention...but was glad for the some company.
Good night All

ps.. speaking of foreign movies w/subtitles. The last one I saw is called "Water" It began filming in India but due to the content..the production "had" to leave and shoot it in Sri Lanka...they received death threats and much more. It took years to get it on film. It was beautiful..yet tragic and very real. I recommend..especially to the ladies. It's about the caste system in India...about arranged marriages and young widows...

Sorry your acquaintance pooped out on you. I had a so called friend do that to me too many times and I fiinally had to let her go.  She always allows her family to change her plans. She cannot follow through and it doesn't even phase her. No backbone.

OK - I hate to do this to ANYONE... LMAO!

But My FAVORITE movie was KUNG FU HUSTLE....

I loved it... Totally....

And anything with OWEN WILSON and Jackie Chan in it... You could google them -- but one of them is Shanghai Noon... I forget the other 2.


And --- OMG --- LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE... That's like real life --- OMG - dysfunctional Comedy - hilarious!

If you're into gore and brutality --- at a very very beautiful cinematographic movie --- 300 is really good. Not comedy --- but epic.

But Kung Fu Hustle -- You have to put English subtitles in.... But it was SOOO darn hilarious after you finally got into it that I watched it like 15 times during my TX...

It's like Roger Rabbit meets Jackie Chan meets an insane Bruce Lee -- with a little dance and choreography going on... If you can find it --- get it! LMAO!

I don't know why - but that movie tickled me to no end.

Don't know when, but I promise I'll rent it. "Drunken Master" is not for everyone, so no problem if you fall asleep on it. But if you do rent it, try and get the original in Japanese with English sub titles. Just look at it like marshall arts ballet with a comedic touch. Chan is young in this movie and he does (and I believe choreographs) all his fight scenes. Very creative.

Jim Pleeeeeeeeeeze rent "Me, myself and Irene." I am so curious to see what you think. It might wind up being your favorite Carey movie.

Now get ready for a shock. I have never seen any Jackie Chan movies.I do watch movies once in a while with my husband, but 2 minutes into the movie and I am sound asleep. He always says he turns to ask me something and there I am sound asleep. Thats why if I watch a movie it has to be a comedy,action or a murder mystery. Love stories put me right to sleep in 2 minutes. I know most women love those types of movies but I don't care for them at all.

But Jim I can't wait until you see the Carey movie I mentioned. It is too funny. I'll rent ":Legend of the Drunken Master." I'll sit up when I watch it so I don't fall asleep. Its a pain because I never see an entire movie.

Okay buddy. I am getting sleepy. Take care.
