Suprak_the_Stud 03/15/23 6:07:32 PM #247:	There were several movies on the list that I thought were dumb, but this is the only one that made me think maybe I was dumb. Or at least dumber that I used to be. This used to be one of my favorite movies. Or, at least, high school Suprak claimed it was. I had it on my Facebook and everything! That's how official it was. I didn't remember any specifics, at all, which should've been my first red flag during my rewatch. I could still recite scenes from Holy Grail basically line for line but I remembered absolutely nothing about Life of Brain (other than the ending song - which is an absolute banger and better than anything in that FRAUD Popstar). But I remember thinking it was super clever and was like the "smart" Monty Python movie. And uh... Er... I'm not sure what happened. I looked up some stuff after watching it and I was finding it on lists EVERYWHERE for best comedies of all time. So it has to just be a me problem, I guess. What is wrong with my brain now? Was I a pretentious little twerp in high school or am I just dumb now? Probably both, but still, I just did not find this all that funny. It wasn't completely unwatchable and I had I good number of those "nose snort almost laughs" going on but that was about it. There was a lot of stuff where I'd be like "oh that's clever" but not actually laugh. Also, there's beating a dead horse and then there's what this movie does which is beat the horse, beat it until it's dead, summon the world's best horse doc to bring it back to life, nurse it back to health, and get it back into racing form over the course of a long grueling yearlong process, and then subsequently beating it to death again. Man does this movie love telling you the same joke eighteen times until your brain starts to reassess what comedy is. That biggus dickus scene went on for, and I'm not exaggerating, an entire month. I just checked and it is still going on right now with no indication that it will ever stop. I started this project thinking this will be in my top five, and leave it having an identity crisis. THANKS A LOT, TANGY --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion." <cite>Suprak_the_Stud posted [p:972195929] in Board 8 Wa...
