After how many hours into the film does it become funny though? I think after you have given a film 20 minutes to actually do something and it has bored your underwear off then it deserves shreddding.
Incidentally, I've heard it proposed a number of times that Peter Sellers was a comedy genius. I am not sure there is really enough evidence to support this idea, he really wasnt that funny often enough to warrant the label. Certainly probably no-one else could have done Clouseau the way he did, but Genius? I dont really think so. Maybe in the hands of a half-decent director he could have been absurdly brilliant but Blake Edwards.Still, at least Sellers had good taste in women. -

Have you seen Dr. Strangelove? -

Perhaps you could watch the film after having consumed a sufficient quantity of horilka. Make sure that you drink it properly with lots of pickles and buttered bread with fish. There are many subjective factors that influence one's perception of a film. Did you watch the film alone? What was your mood? Did someone smirk savagely at you while on your way home?

Actually it's funny in the opening scene when Peter Seller's character takes forever to die. As a simple gag it's not that funny; but when you push it and push it and push it again then it's funny. Sort of like Mike Myers in the Austin Powers movies.

Obviously you've never watched paint dry on Abu Ghraib prisoners guarded by West Virginians with camcorders. Now that is funny! (Not the prisoner part, but the West Virginian with camcorders part - a bit like how meticulously the Germans documented their experiments on their prisoners. At least the Japanese wrote 'monkey' when they were experimenting on Koreans and Russians.)

I hate it when people start praising or critisizing movies without actually seeing it completely.
Some movies are like roller coaster ride. It starts slow, climbs even slower, but it finally thrills. One needs to be patient and wait till the end of the movie before jumping the guns (and writing a review in imdb). So I guess this outright critisicm of the movie and of the actor does not hold any water. -

The hjr2000 bloke talks a lot about dry paint. I think he's been eating it.
Yeah, the old-fashioned kind that has lead in it.
All the universe . . . or nothingness. Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?
