I found out that I don’t suit comedies when I only laughed once in the last comedy I caught in theaters – Bruce Almighty.
I thought it was pathetic, so there and then, I stopped watching comedies in theaters.
I think I actually laughed more in the recent movie I caught – Inception, than I did for Bruce Almighty.
Now the thing is, Bruce Almighty might have been funnier, but when my brain recognises a movie as a comedy, the threshold for laughing increases unreasonably.
I am one who has unreasonably high expectations and demands when watching movies in theaters. The environment and atmosphere of watching a movie in theaters matters a lot to me. Basically, my level of anticipation and expectations are correlated.
And when the environment isn’t right, the best show won’t be right for me. So was the case for Unriddle’s preview at Settlers. It won’t be right no matter what when you start running on the wrong track.
