So I just watched Get Out and all I have to say is... NO SURPRISE IT GOT FOUR FREKAING OSCAR NOMINATIONS!!!

MAN, that script, the story, Peele as a director, and the cast was unbelievably out of this world! And what sold me the most was them metaphors!!! I'm kinda tired of explaining in the spoilers, so I'd say just go and watch that masterpiece, ASAP.

Yeah, I literally didn't point a biggest movie letdown, but what can I say. I find it to be a perfect film: Small budget of less than five million = earns you over 200 million in the box office. Perfection at its finest, and I hope there's going to be at least two winners.

It's ironic that this director who's a comedian, managed to direct a dark, twisted and yet, sometimes funny film that works.

It's not uncommon for comedians to know how to produce dramas and dark movies. Something along the lines of 'You have to know what makes people cry to try make them laugh'

Comedies and tragedies can overlap or even swap over depending on how it's played out. To me, "Romeo and Juliet" could've been played out as a comedy. People acting out based on inaccurate information or because no one got the complete picture. Tybalt goes after Romeo but Romeo tries to be a peacemaker, earning him the scorn of even his friends. No one knows that Romeo has married Juliet, cousin of Tybalt. So Romeo was trying to make peace with an in-law.

Afterwards, Juliet fakes her death, but is seen at her funeral by a compatriot of Romeo, who was in exile. Anguished, Romeo returns intending to die with his beloved. Neither Romeo nor the bearer of such bad news knows of Juliet and the Monk's clandestine plans, and wouldn't because the monk's plans were not being delivered to Romeo in time. Even Juliet waking up to see Romeo in his death throes... If only Romeo waited ten minutes, or Juliet awoken earlier. ROFL

A lot of comedy comes from things like misinterpretations and the consequences of bad timing.

Looks like a TV series destined to fail tbh.

Typical prequel. What a letdown.

I seriously hope Peele wins for Best Original Script. To say it's very uncommon for a comedian, it's also very uncommon to make a horror film like this. Sure, it wasn't as horrific as one would find; gory or whatnot, but it was thrilling to watch. And Peele did a perfect job at making something uncommon in the Horror genre. Mixing race and reality just blew my mind.

Which reminds me; the director of "Ghost" (1990) with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze is also the same guy who had directed "Airplane!" (1980) and "Top Secret!" (1984).

Damn! While I love all the films you mentioned, and Ghost was pretty awesome, that shows that talent in comedians.

Can't wait for Adam Sandler's hit neo-noir thriller.

Star Trek: Nemesis was a letdown. When I first watched it, I went in blind. I didn't know about how hated it was until after I watched it and looked up reviews.

I'm not sure if you were being sarcastic when you said you can't wait for Adam Sandler's movie.

I was.

It was a joke based on your conversation about comedians being really good at darker films.

Robin Williams did a very good job in “Insomnia” (2002). He’s done darker characters before, with varying success: Death to Smoochy” and “One Hour Photo” (2002), “The Final Cut” (2004)

Ugh... Nemesis. I love watching the actors at cons trashing Nemesis.

I agree. Although not a horror obviously, but I sure as hell liked his character in Good Will Hunting.

He’s done some drama stuff before that. “Dead Poets Society” (1989), “Awakenings” (1990) and “The Fisher King” (1991). I still think one of his most underrated classics is “What Dreams May Come” (1998).

But in reference to dark in “Good Will Hunting” was that part where Will (Matt Damon) says something very unkind about Dr. Maguire’s late wife and Maguire physically and verbally threatens him. It’s a very powerful scene.
