David McK (3562 KP) rated That's Me in the Middle (The Bandy Papers, #2) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The second book in Donald Jack's Bandy papers series, this is the novel that convinced me to read more of his works.
Set during the last year of the First World War (1914 - 1918), I have to say I found this book to be funnier than both the later installments in the series, and than the previous entry ("Three Cheers For Me"): indeed, this book was the cause of me getting some funny looks when I burst out laughing in work one lunch-time ...

Way too serious!
If you liked the original George Lucas classic, you may not like its very serious sequel.
Instead of cruising having a good time with your friends before you are off to college, the main characters deal with issues like the Vietnam war, protests and the peace movement.
The music is still great and there is a very funny cameo scene; however, it is not enough to save this film which just gets the tone completely wrong.

Not terrible but should have been better
I didn't like the voice in this and that it was meant to be both funny and scary but really failed in doing either. It is more enjoyable to watch then some of the zombie films that are out there but with the cast list it was really disappointing to watch (was expecting far more humour).
An ok film to watch if nothing else on but there are loads more zombie films that are better to watch.

Crazy Bacon
This game is absolutely crazy. Everything from the design, the soundtrack to the gameplay is absolutely spot on, comical and fun.
All you do is time when you drop your bacon into a pan and throw it on to everything from a maths equation to Napoleon. Despite its simplicity, it doesn't get boring quickly. Its pretty addictive and will keep you smiling and keep testing you. What is more its an independent developer so go support.

I decided to listen to this book after my brother got me hooked on watching the TV show Parks and Rec. I thought that Amy had a fun storytelling voice and the tales are funny and interesting. My favorite parts were definitely those that were related to Parks and Rec. Stories about the cast and some really great behind the scenes facts. I didn’t always find myself being able to relate to Amy or sharing her humor, but overall I really enjoyed the read.

Feel like this has been underappreciated
I really find this funny! I'm a huge fan of John Malkovich too, which is coming from someone that had seen Con Air about 10 times before realizing he is Cyrus the Virus!! (Fantastic actor!) Helen Mirren isn't your usual Older British lady either, she's elegant, classy and DEADLY AND BELIEVABLE. It's the right mixture of action and comedy would definitely recommend.

Cool soundtrack (2 more)
Good fight scenes
Good cast list
Quirky mash up comedy
Finally got round to seeing this. Quite a unique film in the style mixing video game imagery, rock music and fight action into a comedy. On the whole it works. The music is good and the fights are well choreographed. I wouldn't say it was laugh out loud funny but fairly amusing in some scenes. Quite a few well known faces in smaller roles here. Bit of a mixed bag but overall good fun.

Contains spoilers, click to show
A film that has held up very well. 20 years later the storytelling still feels fresh and exciting despite the obvious ‘Pulp Fiction’ inspired plot device of having the story told several times from different characters perspectives. The script is sharp, funny and frequently veers off in unexpected directions. Watching the film again now it’s also amazing to see that barring Katie Holmes pretty much the entire cast has now disappeared into obscurity which is a shame as there is certainly some talent here.

3 girls are off to prom and decide to make a pact that by the end of the night they will all lose their virginity. However, they accidentally leave their chat open on their computer and after decoding their emoji conversation, the parents realise what they are upto and decide to try and stop them. This is what the entire movie is about, it sounds dull but it was actually very funny even though it wasn't very crude and a little strange in places.

This film is the best kind. It's funny and lighthearted, the chemistry is great, the plot keeps moving, the cast is phenomenal, what more could you ask for? I think this is definitely one of Anna Kendrick's best roles and Sam Rockwell really stole the show. My favorite character was probably Steve and his gummy bears. He made it even more fun and I love how rational it all feels. Like yeah, she fell for a hitman? What about it?
Definitely a film to keep you laughing.
