"Most of those guys haven't been in SNL in several YEARS."

Right, but SNL was the springboard for their careers. By the time they rolled around, SNL had taken a serious nosedive, i my opinion. I wish I found more comedies I enjoy as well, but I guess it's just personal taste. I'm not a fan of the junior high class clown witless slapstick toilet humor. I grew out of it when I was about 15. I like there to be some genuine wit or intelligence behind it (most of the time). Not just "I can talk like a stupid kid" or "look how offensive I am" or "watch me jump around and make a face! watch! watch!".

Hey--i watched SNL for years through the good and bad and I haven't watched since Ferrell left. It needs to be axed already.

That is the type of humor in movies/tv that is geared for teenagers, so you should probably seek out something made for adults, like Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Aristocrats, Weeds, The 40-Year Old Virgin...

I really like Weeds. It will do now that Raymond and Sex and the City have left us. Will and Grace has lost its spark. Arrested Development is the best new comedy in quite some time. The Comeback is picking up as well. The latest SNL member I enjoyed since Vitoria Jackson/Jan Hooks is Molly Shannon.

I'm trying to remember the last movie that really made me laugh out loud. All that comes to mind is A Mighty Wind, Napolean Dynamite and Duplex. I must admit, I snickered a bit during Along Came Polly, Dodgeball and The Wedding Crashers.

Really? Along Came Polly? WIth that enormous scene with Ben Stiller in the bathroom? I thought you didn't enjoy bathroom humor...

What makes you say Nicole Kidman is only in it to be a star now??

Mister Matt: Have you seen The Forty Year Old Virgin, The Life Aquatic, I Heart Huckabees, Sideways (The comedic parts were hilarious), or Sin City (While not a comedy, it's a movie that will leave a constant grin on your face for the entire running length)? They were all hilarious.

p.s. Am I the only one who can't stand watching any of Jennifer Anniston's movies? I love her in Friends but her movies are just.....stupidly perfect endings. She always ends up with a dopey happy ending. Endings that make me wanna gag.

Male: Kevin Spacey. Every character he plays is the same: The Weird, Slightly Psychotic Everyman. He even has that "trademark" head twitch in every movie.
Female: Julia Roberts. Again, always plays a giggly, horsetoothed, oh-so-charmingly awkward Girl Next Door.

lildogs - "WIth that enormous scene with Ben Stiller in the bathroom? I thought you didn't enjoy bathroom humor..."

I hated that scene, but I enjoyed most of the rest of the film.

Cruel Sandwich - I liked Huckabees and Sideways, but they weren't really "laugh-out-loud" movies for me. I hated Sin City. I considered it one of the worst films of the year. Haven't seen Virgin or Aquatic yet.

TOM CRUISE, it's really pathetic when your 11 year old co-star was better than you(and just to tell everybody, i think dakota fanning's is a very good actress, especially for her age)
