Ted was damn funny. Loved it. {nm}

Just curious. Am I the only one that thinks MWTDW looks like a bad SNL skit? more... Initech May 17, 08:29

I hated Ted. This one looks even worse. {nm} Oleg Max May 17, 08:37

My thoughts exactly. I am usually a fan of stupid humor (Old School, 1st Hangover, Hut Tub, etc) but I really thought Ted was bad. Willroast May 17, 10:02

Ted was truly awful. One joke, and a mediocre one at that. And people came out in droves. I have no idea what happened there. {nm} goodvibe61 May 17, 10:14

Box Office has for months had it as opening in the low twenties, and ending its run at around 70M (weeks after HSX delist, that is). {nm} Facto May 17, 08:40

I think it looks pretty funny Dorfman May 17, 08:43

I won't see it myself (didn't see TED, either), but I think the trailer is pretty good, and SMCFA can craft and deliver a punchline. {nm} second gary May 17, 09:01

I agree. Comedy just isn't what it use to be. They rely too much on swearing to try and make it funny. {nm} kanga May 17, 09:00

That doesn't bother me as much as Sandler's penchant for crotch shots, fart jokes, and other over the top slapstick gags. Jay_Beezy May 17, 09:13

A one quadrant movie will find someone who loves it...exhibit A. Neither movie had, or is going to have, 4 quad appeal. {nm} PVL Admin May 17, 10:41

Didn't Ted open up to 50+? don't be a movie snob. {nm} Juiced May 17, 14:58

And thankfully, it ain't tracking so well. Or at least it wasn't last week. {nm} Jay_Beezy May 17, 11:02

I wonder if the fact it's also a Western will hold back it's potential BO...most people seem to avoid them like the plague {nm} tealfan May 17, 09:07

different era but blazing saddles was a western, and thats considered a classic {nm} islander May 17, 10:02

didn't mean to leave out Blazing Saddles :)...I should have qualified and said in recent years...here's hoping MWTDW breaks the curse! {nm} tealfan May 17, 18:22

I think it looks amazing. {nm} GoodSon May 17, 09:57

It's worse {nm} thatpj May 17, 10:28

Thanks for the replies. I always wonder what other people are thinking. +1 for the Blazing Saddles commment! {nm} Initech May 17, 16:38
