Watched "The Stanford Prison Experiment" or something like that over the weekend based on a true story from the 70's....very interesting, and kind of creepy at how people will act when given "power" over another person.

OK, I will make a point to go see this:

Just watched a movie called Search Party with TJ Miller, Thomas Middleditch, Adam Pally, Jason Mantzoukas, Alison Brie, Krysten Ritter, Jon Glaser and JB Smoove that somehow wasn't very funny.

A friend of mine has been telling me for ages how funny The Jerk was with Steve Martin. We finally watched it the other night. It was mildly amusing in places but overall I wasn't that impressed. Am I off base? It seems like I've heard so many people over the years talk about how funny it is... I almost feel like I didn't get it.

It's maybe a bit dated, but still cracks me up.

No, that was a Cyrano De Bergerac remake. I think it was called Roxanne. The jerk was the one where he was raised by a black family and them moves to St. Louis and stumbles into richness. It was almost like a blacksploitation version of Forest Gump. But before Forest was even a thing.

Plus he becomes a (eventual failure) millionaire inventor, so it's a socio-economic commentary as well! I gotta go watch it again now.

I feel the same way about the show Family Guy, all of the humor is just so forced.
