You mentioned this in another thread and I think that's so, so odd.
Big dumb comedies are meant to be seen with big dumb crowds. It makes them approximately a bajillion times better.
Mathematically.
I'm kind of the same way
I mean I like seeing comedies with big crowds
But I also like not spending $12 plus gas, parking, and whatever else to see something that doesn't benefit from a 50-foot screen and 25.1 surround sound

Way I see it, though, you're not paying for the 50-foot screen and 25.1 surround sound - you're paying for the energy of the crowd.
Like, when you go to a sporting event or what have you. The view from your living room is actually gonna be much cleaner, much easier to follow, and all around better. But you don't have the camaraderie, and the, like, primatological group energy. 400 people laughing at one joke makes that joke way more hilarious than you and two buddies on the couch.

Understandable, but with movie crowds the unpredictability of the size/quality of the crowd isn't usually worth it for me. If I had some friends that were like 'hey let's go see this funny movie' I'd be there, but I'm not generally gonna go out of my way for it.
I don't like crowds, though. Crowds bring kids that play tag in the aisles during the show. Crowds laugh at things that aren't jokes. Crowds talk right behind me about how confused they are during Tree of Life.
it's why I love midnight screenings, because everyone is super into it
spider-man 3 was incredibly entertaining when I saw it at midnight with a huge crowd just kinda goin "what the heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell"
I tricked myself into thinking the matrix 2 was good because we went to see it directly after school with what turned out to be half my high school class, apparently, and everyone just seemed to be having such a good fucking time that it was infectious
once I saw american gangster in a bargain theater (movie plus pop plus popcorn for five bucks, what up) and the dudes behind us were like, super high, but it was okay because their joy at seeing the mounds and mounds of drugs in the film filled the hearts of everyone around them

1) 12 dollars for a movie? geez dude move out of the moneybags district
2) if you're paying for parking, you're a sucker, who even charges for parking?

Isn't Jason Sudekis in it?
I really like him from his stint on 30 Rock
SteamID: Baroque And Roll
but I'll definitely put it in my Netflix queue
what else should i do with my life, for i am not a mortal worthy of free will
too many people get high to watch comedies and because they are choomin they are chatty and goofy and inclined to make horrid stoner jokes
true fact
you know there are things it has going for it
jason sudekis is actually a funny guy when he isn't in a movie
charlie day is hilarious when not in a rom com
that guy from Fable 2.
he was decent in Going The Distance
or hosting the mtv movie awards
What a pussy.
I actually thought that was kind of hilarious
you could choose to fight a pretty strong boss or just throw a fenix down at it and watch it die instantly
same movie
but better
or if we're going to get into other video game franchises that make me want to stab myself in the chest, zelda

he was even funny in that horrible going the distance movie with drew barrymore
which also had jason sudekis in it
basically i want charlie day to be in every movie

I'm really excited
I know I've told you this before, but I doubt you remember so:
I love this way you think.
Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y37ELA9EXBs
