i feel like the judd apatow industrial complex would be fun because superbad-anchorman-40 year old virgin out of context are similar enough to be challenging but funny enough out of context to soften the blow of getting a question wrong

Movies for fun. Some of my favorite movies are ones that could never be 'high concept' or whatever it means when you are trying to make something of greatness or idk intellectual...? Mister Lonely, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, all fan remakes and original Batman movies (see The Black Bat), Five-O and every thing on Tubi's "Black Independent Cinema" collection, all of Wang Po's movies, anything that isn't quite as genre as B-Movie, but someone's commitment to making the movie they knew was good. I think people call this category "post-irony" where the creator takes something which is not serious very seriously, but only because they love it. Many foreign film industries have a home for these silly ones built into their orthodox canon, Bolly/Nollywood or Taiwanese film, where it's okay to make a movie about Baby Police in a way that is Legit but also Because Movies Are Fun. But in the US no one watches comedy movies because people act like they are in comedies, rather than take the sillyness seriously. Landing jokes versus playing. Campyness rather than drama and bombastic glory. It feels so good to take pleasure in the fearlessness of many "silly" movies daring to tell stories that are neither subtle nor smarter than a good time.
