Comedy Scene
Most people who know me quickly learn I am a great fan of physical comedy: the bus rolls through the camera view, a crash is heard from screen left. Minister of Silly Walks. That stuff makes me laugh. In a departure from that usual style, I would like to formally recommend the following scene be added to whatever Stiller/Wilson/Vaugn/Ferrel movie approacheth from Hollywood’s ever-predictable jukebox stuck on repeat.
A man or woman commits to a personal training regime (preferably because they are pursuing some goal central to the plot). On screen agony commences with slow motion pans of tremendous feats of pain, driven by a personal trainer. “Take My Breath Away” plays in the background.
Watch for it in the next big screen comedy: you know screenwriters are Googling “funny comedy ideas” just like anybody else doing research.
