Description:

Seeing as few groups have had much going on lately, I thought I'd throw a group up just to see who still stops by. Since the genre groups all died, feel free to talk about what youre watching. Or doing. Or the other film dork sites you visit. Or botany, Russian lit, astrophysics...

Funny People and stand-up on film

Anyone seen Funny People yet? It has some good performances and is honestly funny here & there but drags more than a bit in the second half, and the cynicism vs sentimentality balance never quite works. Adam Sandler is very good, though he seems to be aging into John Turturro.

I'm not expert on stand-up culture, but I imagine Funny People probably has more truth to it than the loathed-by-many Tom Hanks & Sally Field vehicle Punchline. It still seems the Jerry Seinfeld doc Comedian may be the most insightful look into the culture & lifestyle of the comic.
