I liked the first a lot more than the second, but enjoyed both. One thing I notice with them is they're at least well made, unlike say Ted, which was very funny but a piss poorly made flick.

Is it too early to suggest the Aurora shooting should be copycated during a Hangover III showing? I forget how long it took 9/11 to be funny.

Good? Bad?

I dunno better than them completely writing her out of Part II and having Stu marry the Thai girl just to set up the story.

I could go either way on Graham. Maybe they're going to pull an Ocean's Thirteen and have them wind up in Vegas again.

Nothing wrong with that. She was a nice character in the first one

Apparantly they decided the second one wasn't enough like the first one. ;)

Sounds good to me, glad to see her back.

I prefer to see her front, but to each their own. :rimshot:

I saw them filming some scenes for this last week in Orange County, about a 1/2 mile from JWA. They were using the 73 toll road for the shots.

Did you overhear anything about a wolfpack? :D

I heard they were shooting all over OC. Did you get to see anyone?

No. I only saw the crew set up because I drove down the block looking for food before picking my parents up at the airport. I would've parked and had a gander if time permitted.

''The Hangover Part III is Alan's story,'' says director Todd Phillips of Zach Galifianakis' character. ''He's going through a crisis after the death of his father, [and] the Wolfpack is all he has.'' In theaters May 24, this installment brings the group together when something from the first movie comes back to haunt them. But Vegas is just one of their stops...

That actually sounds like it could be decent as it's seemingly going in a different direction. I liked the first one and thought the second had it's moments but overall wasn't as good. Hopefully this one is better.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they were thinking about giving the third installment a title different than "Hangover", as at the time the whole drinking aspect was not going to be the catalyst.

Judging from the pic it looks like Bartha may actually be part of the fun this time.

Was there any joy to be had from the first one? My brother and I watched it on cable and halfway through, we looked at each other and said is this really the film everyone is going on about. I wasn't funny or entertaining at all.

The first one was a breakout hit. It did almost $300 million in the US and received very favorable reviews. You and your brother are wrong...at least compared with what the general movie going population thought of the movie.

The first one was very forgettable and the second one was so god fucking awful, it was unwatchable. It was just a remake of the first movie. I'll be hard pressed to check this installment out.

And I wish Hollywood would stop trying to push Ken Jeong on movie goers. He's not funny, never was, never will be.

The first one came out around the same time as Hot Tub Time Machine did, and HTTM is the far superior film. I loved HTTM and found Hangover to be fairly average. I remember hearing about the Hangover getting a sequel and thinking was a raw deal HTTM got. It never found the audience it deserved or did anywhere near the numbers Hangover did. Besides having completly different plots the films were quite similar in the way they depicted four thirtysomething men coming together. Not only that, but I'd take the HTTM cast over the Hangover cast any day of the week. Hangover 1 was decent, 2 was pretty bad. One can only assume 3 will be abysmal. Oh well, at least with no Hot Tub Time Machine sequels theres no chance they can screw it up like they did Hangover.

Some movies really benefit from the theater experience with an audience. When we saw Hangover in the theater, the laughs were so loud and long you missed the next line(s). I loved the movie and although no one can debate taste, you are in the minority. I also prefer chocolate ice cream but apparently vanilla outsells it handily. To each his own.

I remember being forty five minutes in to the first movie thinking "When does it start being funny?"

I loved the first one, but I agree with the second being awful. It was the same plot, different location. I mean I watched maybe 45 minutes of it and counted at least ten instances of the same gag being used again, maybe slightly different.

I couldn't finish it.

Jesus! I was beginning to think my brother and I were the only ones. I thought something was wrong with me. Maybe there is, but I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to comedy. Just fart and I'll laugh. We watched the whole thing and never found it the least bit funny. My uncle thinks it's the greatest thing ever. It's just grown men acting like they're back in college.

So this movie is just grown men acting like they're in college, yet you say "just fart and I'll laugh"? :scratch2:
