The ONE AND ONLY "Meaning of Life" + Other related Discussions Thread

Humor, much like the meaning of life, is entirely subjective.

if you hated the movie then you should read the book to see if it's better than the movie because i have yet to hear anyone say the movie was better than the book

But if I found the movie to be, by and large intolerable, why, would I ever spend more time reading the book? Surely the humor is in the same dry British vein that was not in this case, at all funny. It was like all the slow parts of Monty Python crammed together for one most unpleasant experience.

We will never know the meaning of life. We will never know why we are here.
So make your own goals, your own reasons. Enjoy your existance on this planet and what life has to offer.

It is sort of similar. It's been discussed before, but humour doesnt travel too well!

yeah, thats my favorite show right now. Arrested Development, which is going off the air, is also quite hilarious.

I have season one of arrested development. Fox have a history of cancelling the best shows (firefly...anyone?).

Curb your enthusaism just cannot be beaten, i dont think. Larry is enormously funny. Has season 5 started airing yet at all?

why did firefly get cancelled right when it was the best show on???

 

[derek]

Fox showed it out of order and with minimum advertising, they never supported it from the offset. It was the best tv show i've ever seen - everything clicked. Thankfully joss has been allowed to carry the saga on in movie form.

if you've got a show that still makessense when the episodes are out of order then your show is crap so why would they show the episodes out of order with no advertising??? that just doesn't make any sense

 

[derek]

It didn't make sense, that's the thing. They aired episode 2 first and left the two part introductory episode to be shown mid-season it was silly and made no sense. Not to mention, some of the shows were not even aired.

Bean is funny. Since you mentioned Black Adder, it came into mind.
