    While I own a few on DVD, I 'm not a fan of farcical comedies.

    So, I've never watched the original #NakedGun & never plan to watch the remake either.

    The quick release of theatrical flops like the remake of Naked Gun for streaming is becoming quite common.

    I recently took a brief look at #LoveHurts ("starring" Ke Huy Quan) which was likewide quickly released for streaming on #PrimeVideo.

    Unfortunately, it was yet another farce that I thought was idiotic & simply not worth my time to watch.🤷

  3. Looking at this graph shared by Hank Green. I know it's not exactly the same, but I can't stop thinking of this clip from Naked Gun.

  4. The Naked Gun (2025) is really funny. And I watched the original this morning, so this is a fresh comparison. Lots of Zucker style jokes and plenty of new stuff that had a Lonely Island feel. There was also a fair amount of weird dated referential humor that may have been McFarlane's influence, but honestly was probably just more Lonely Island guys stuff.

  7. Why The Naked Gun's O.J. Simpson Joke Was a 1-Hit Wonder

    Director Akiva Schaffer, helming the 2025 legacy sequel to *The Naked Gun*, recently opened up about why the film includes exactly one joke referencing O.J. Simpson’s Nordberg character from the original trilogy....

  10. Even if I don't participate in the #comedon #watchparty this week (and it's probable that I won't because of things and stuff) you should. Why? Because @greenpepper22 is kicking off a three week Naked Gun party!

    What better way to get started for the new Naked Gun movie with Liam Neeson than going back and watching the classic trilogy? (No, the Liam Neeson one isn't called Naked Gun Episode One: The Phantom Menace, but if I had my way it would be.)

    Leslie Nielson, which almost rhymes with Neeson, was nothing short of brilliant in his deadpan portrayal of Detective Frank Drebin who, for the record, was not at all like Commander John J. Adams who he portrayed in the 1956 sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet.

    Don't get confused, because the #comedon movie is The Naked Gun, which would be an entirely inappropriate watch party tag for Forbidden Planet. They are not remotely connected movies. Even the soundtracks are different. No, OJ Simpson wasn't in Forbidden Planet. You're thinking of Capricorn One. But he was in two of the three Naked Gun movies. It was a different time. As is every time that isn't this time.

  11. NAKED GUN 2025 – DIE NACKTE KANONE 2025

    Ich war zuerst skeptisch, insbesondere ob der Besetzung, aber es ergibt natürlich schon irgendwie Sinn, wenn man den Mann aus knallharten Actionthrillern in dieser Rolle besetzt. …

  12. Okay, the trailer for the new "Naked Gun" movie is actually quite funny, I'm looking forward to it.

  13. For a long, long time this sounded like a very bad idea. With a few rare exceptions (Loaded Weapon 1, which this reminds me of) few really "got" why these films were funny.

    So I was skeptical.

    Then I heard Liam Neeson was cast, and it made me wonder... that might be perfect casting.

    But I didn't hold my breath.

    Then this dropped today.

    YUUUUP. I'm on board. :D

    De spoofs van #ZAZ Jim Abrahams overleed vorige week. In de jaren zeventig en tachtig legde hij zich met zijn jeugdvrienden David en Jerry Zucker toe op ‘spoofs’: groteske, smakeloos schmierende #Parodieën. Wat maakte hun #Films zo leuk?
