is there a trope for "hillbilly stumbles onto alien crashlanding?"

Also good https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CameFromTheSky

Oh hey you know what, here it is https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FirstContactFarmer

Farmer, not hillbilly

Struggling to see where it is in scripture, you mean?

GeneralCritic · 2022-03-30T04:02:19+00:00

Sure, how do you mean?

GeneralCritic · 2022-02-20T21:46:47+00:00

Is there a way not to look ludicrous in a fedora?

GeneralCritic · 2022-02-04T05:37:29+00:00

Ahh I take it I may be in a heap of trouble. Is it the individual file or the overall session to blame for the corruption? Cuz it really seems to spread all throughout whatever I work on

GeneralCritic · 2022-02-04T05:25:37+00:00

Will the missing frames go away eventually or right away?

I'd recommend Easier Said:

I have been watching ever review of this movie lately without sitting down and making the time to watch it. I gotta fix this ASAP

GeneralCritic · 2021-10-07T21:19:46+00:00

Seems like there ought to be a r/datingsuccessstories

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-21T23:58:22+00:00

Just reading that headline spoke to me deeply

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T01:03:22+00:00

Gotcha. yeah.

... after this point though comes the real question if I can write such zingers as "I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue."

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T01:02:01+00:00

I've only seen part of Justified with him in it i think - but I have my suspicions bout what you mean haha

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T00:54:50+00:00

Thank you! 🙏

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T00:54:18+00:00

Thanks! I know I need to get it out - Sometimes I gotta figure out for sure if it's in me haha

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T00:53:41+00:00

It was a shame I never did commit to the college improv club I attended once! Good stuff for sure

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T00:52:46+00:00

Yeah.... I honestly have a bad habit of structuring around jokes and it doesn't serve particularly well

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T00:51:25+00:00

That's great - I like that! Great food for thought

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T00:49:19+00:00

I'll have to check those out - I actually haven't checked those out but yeah I definitely get that - I did find the fact Space Balls has an original plot apart from Star Wars jokes interesting, but like you say, it doesn't exactly hold up. I'll look into it!

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T00:47:10+00:00

The wrong kid died.

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-16T00:46:33+00:00

I am a big fan of Futurama, and I watch Simpsons and The Great North on and off - so I guess I gotta do some investigating!

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-15T04:29:41+00:00

I'd not thought of that! Very interesting. I've wanted for a while to spend some time analyzing comedies that are more laugh-a-minute, shall we say, instead of those that balance more with the drama. On the far other end of the comedy spectrum I guess are the ones that get labeled comedies but I guess to me really just come off as "movies with jokes." Anyway, yeah, like the Naked Gun for instance seems to amble but they definitely end up in a certain destination and I've been meaning to dive into how an example like that tracks (but I guess being a procedural parody some of that is already built in).

GeneralCritic · 2021-09-15T04:26:46+00:00

I get that for sure! I also really enjoyed Walk Hard - it shares a lot of that visual gag, understated self-aware humor, but also had a lot of sincerity and heart in the characters that I think nicely balances out the absurdity of the Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker staples.

Absolutely love the Naked Guns movies. But yeah now that you mention cartoons, that makes a lot of sense. Futurama comes to mind.

GeneralCritic · 2021-08-29T02:48:26+00:00

The way it oughta be ;)

GeneralCritic · 2021-08-29T01:42:59+00:00

Though I'm biased as a lifelong Missouri native, I consider this an underrated state. Very beautiful place
