Never saw it, but is it supposed to be a comedy ? It look like one. That’s ridiculous. Are N-Y drivers are all psycho-killers ?

It's not a comedy, it's a drama romance about life. Pitt plays Death, inhabiting the body of a freshly killed young man (guess how). This scene is funny as a gif but it's shocking in the movie.

I laughed so hard in the theater that people around me got angry.

I saw it in the theater back in the 90s and everyone laughed because it was so shocking and over the top.

Movie is like 20 years old

And ? Most recent movies suck even more so i don’t understand your point. I still wait for a better Sci-fi movie than Alien and it was made in 1979.

My point is cgi in 1998 was shit compared to todays standards. This was probably pretty good 98. Probably not “cheap” either.

It’s not the special effect the problem here, it’s the delivery and the editing that’s comedic. I can make an abstraction of the technology of the time for an old movie. Bad editing is still bad. 1993 Jurassic Park CGI didn’t aged that well but it’s still a better movie than all the recent Jurassic World movies.

I rewound the VHS like 5 times because I thought this was hilarious at the time! I’m so disturbed by reading about Weinstein and the abuse of power that represents. But, no, it probably wasn’t supposed to be as funny as it is, not many chuckles after that but Claire Forlani and Brad Pitt made it a great movie.

I watched this movie with my brother and mom. Mom was horrified when my brother and I rewound so many times because it was hilarious.

Wait what ? What Weinstein have anything to do with what i said ?

It’s farther up in the thread but the actress escaped Weinstein 5 times and was blackballed so presumably that’s we didn’t have more of her in films.

Ok but…it’s completely off topic.
