We've just been flooded with suggestions here at FunnyHaHa in response to my post about the funniest films of the 20th century. Yes, flooded. For example, a Mr James Bachman of Clapham, England, has suggested that 'Love and Death, Annie Hall, Rushmore, Young Frankenstein, Ghostbusters, The Jerk, The Man With Two Brains, Addams Family Values, Jabberwocky, Bob Roberts and so on and so on' are all contenders, and asks 'And how can anyone leave out Spinal Tap?'
The omission of any Woody Allen films was an unconscionable oversight. I meant to add a para on him to my original post, but forgot. My vote's for Manhattan.
And he's right, you know - how could anyone leave out Spinal Tap? How could I leave out Spinal Tap? How could I neglect to write a follow-up post correcting this oversight for two whole weeks? How come I'm even bothering writing it now, when no-one is reading it? How could I... ahh, forget it.
Oh dear. I've lost all enthusiasm for writing meta-comedy. Which leads me to wonder why I bothered bringing this blog back from the dead in the first place. And to think that there's a whole juicy new Melbourne Comedy Festival programme for me to discuss. I'll see how I feel next week. Meanwhile, head over to that nice Mr Bachman's blog. It looks quite entertaining. He'll go far, you mark my words.
