Different Tastes

It is funny how different every one's tastes are in movies. Have you ever watched a movie or a TV show that you found absolutely hilarious when you watched it with one person and then it was stupid when you watched it with another? I remember several years ago I spent the night over at my aunt Gena's house and she made me watch Galaxy Quest with her. We laughed the entire movie. When Dave and I started dating I told him that we had to rent that movie. We watched it and it was so stupid. He didn't even crack a smile.

Most movies that I grew up with were classics. I loved the old movies with Don Knots, and Tim Conway. They were hilarious. I remember watching shows like Shakiest Gun In the West, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Prize Fighter, Private Eyes and Black Beards Ghost (which doesn't have Don Knots or Tim Conway). I still find all of them hilarious. Dave doesn't find most of them so funny. I think that it depends what you grow up with. I still love to watch the Don Knots and Tim Conway movies. I especially love to watch them with members of my family, because they are all the more funny.

I also have family members that have some movies they think are hilarious and I hate. My sister and brother loved White Chicks and they told Dave and I that we need to watch it and we hated it. They also love Ugly Betty. I have only seen one show and I thought it was pretty dumb. Then again I loaned my movie View From the Top to my sister-in-law one time and she thought it was just OK. I thought it was hilarious. I also recall a time when Dave and I went to see RENT. It was pure crap. I thought it would be this great musical, but it was all about gay couples and the struggles they have. While my friend loved it Dave and I walked out after the first five minutes.

I would say that one of the funniest people to watch movies with would be my brother Joe. He is so funny. He has so many different laughs that even if something isn't all that funny it can become hilarious just because he is laughing so hard. Does anyone else have a person they know that makes movies all the more fun to watch?

I hate dirty comedy stuff. I never could understand why some people make a living being a comedian by just adding a bunch of swearing into their routine. Too many people seem to like dirty comedians and movies. I see previews for movies that look so disgusting or stupid I wonder why anyone would go to it. Some of the funniest comedies I love to watch just use real life, everyday stuff and make it funny. They are clean and don't even have to swear.

Anyway I just thought it was kinda funny how different every one's tastes are. You have those movies that just about everyone loves and then you have those movies that some hate and some love. I know this was kind of a random post.
