Who saw Death at a funeral?

I watched it and was quite dissapointed. I really liked the original but the humor in the remake feels very forced most of the time. It is more crass and vulgar, but not in a clever way. The cast is decent, but James Mardsen is no Alan Tudyk, and I never liked Martin lawrence or Tracey Morgan. Chris Rock, Peter Dinklage, Keith David, and Danny Glover were decent though. Its a shame the director Neil Labute has done such crap recently. He used to be a good director but everything he has directed recently has sucked.

I want to spend the night at your house and just pick out movies from your DVD collection. It must be magical to be one of your friends. :PxTheExploited

Most of my friends aren't into movies:P

I did. They played Scream Bloody Gore. Hell of a funeral that was.Gallion-Beast

i didn't see the movie, but from the previews, i thought it would probably have a few funny moments, but the rest of the movie would just be meh.

i didnt, is it funny?nymdj128

If you like painfully bad gross jokes that involve feces and occasional pointless racial comments then yes. I however thought it was crap.

I refuse to watch anything with Tracy Morgan. I can barely understand him when he talks...

I haven't seen it yet but I probably will soon. Its got the beautiful Zoe Saldana so it can't be that bad ;)

The remake could have been good actually. Neil Labute used to be a good director and the cast is good but the movie turned out to be crap in the end.

I saw Kick Ass instead.

Love the original, have no intention of seeing the remake.Dylan_11

If you loved the original wouldn't you love remake?

I did not expect anything from the remake, I knew it would take away all clever and dark comedy from the original and add a bunch of vulgar and racy unfunny jokes to appeal more to west.Jazz_Fan

I love the original.

It was clear from the trailer of the remake that it will be pretty bad.

Its funny the remake seems to think that racy and vulgar means funny. The long poop joke with Danny Glover, and Tracy Morgan is one of the most painfully unfunny scenes I have watched in ages.

Well, he also says video games are not art.... JustPlainLucas

I am still thinking about that argument.

He does have a point that games are about rules and boundaries, whereas art is continually interpretable and symbolic.

I think some people mistake 'art' for simply being 'artistic' in a visual sense.

I don't think the narratives in games are strong enough to be regarded as art (yet), except for Bioshock perhaps.

Not saying this about you but I don't think people should take this to heart as a means of saying games are stupid etc.

(Argument could be subject to change..)

First one looked funny. Remake looks idiotic

If you thought BioShock was written well (so did I) you should give PlaneScape Torment a go.
