    As for dark humor.... I too love it . . .when it is done well.



    Truly great humor always has a dark edge to it:



    Samuel Beckett --so dark that few recognize the humor . . but when you do it is profoundly funny.

    Franz Kafka -same.

    Joseph Heller

    Thomas Pynchon

    Fellini

    Even Woody Allen (when he was GREAT (and he really was!!): Annie Hall, Stardust Memories)

    Terry Gilliam!!

    Ionesco

    Thomas Bernhard

    Lawrence Sterne

    even Jerry Seinfeld, the TV show has a dark edge to it . . a kind of tragi-comedy . . . in the tradition of great Yiddish theatre characters: the schmuck and the schlamiel.

    And even Edgar Allen Poe can be seen as funny





    Ash . . . let me know if I mention anybody that you've heard of . . .

    pfflam - It doesn't surprise me that you don't like something that had wider release than playing the Anjelica.

    Clearly the great mass of intelligent AO perusers must be avoiding this thread . . . because of its title . . . and, having seen the movie, they know how BAD it is, how sophamoric and poorly written with a touch of terrible terrible acting . . . and they won't even enter the thread enough to vote

    ?my subjective opinion is better than yo-ors?
