Posted: 12/13/05 at 12:01amTHE WAR OF THE ROSES is by far the darkest comedy I've ever seen. And in the 16 years since it's release, I've never seen a film that even comes close to topping it.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 12/13/05 at 1:28amBSOB you consider May a comedy?!?! That is the creepiest movie I have ever seen. I liked it a lot, but I don't remember finding it funny....and I have a really weird sense of humor so that's saying something.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 11:14amAh, Heathers. "Well f**k me gently with a chainsaw". I LOVE IT.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 12/13/05 at 11:21amJust found out in a cruel irony that Kim Walker, the Heather who uttered the legendary line "did you eat a brain tumor for breakfast" died in 2001 at the age of 32, from a brain tumor.

LOL RobbO
pop- i remember when Kim Walker died. I was sad, indeed. She also had the memorable line "Transfer to Washington, tranfer to Jefferson. No one's going to play your little reindeer games."

Posted: 12/13/05 at 1:29pmWould you consider "American Psycho" a comedy? Or "Natural Born Killers"?

Posted: 12/13/05 at 6:06pmDr. Strangelove is probably the darkest comedy I know of. It makes War Of The Roses look like an episode of Barney.
