I don’t know what the name of the movie is but it’s a biopic about Richard Pryor. Apparently Marlon Wayans blew the audition out the water and critics are saying that this could be his ‘Ray’.

It doesn't come out here until the 20th. (WTF). I am a crier, I tear up on the AT&T commercial where the guy finds the little girl's lost dog so I will be bringing a whole box of tissues. I have heard both positive and negatives about the movie but I will have to save my comments until after I see it for myself. I can’t wait to see this movie! It doesn’t come out here until the 20th.

I truly think that there is a hidden skill to be 'not funny' when you are gifted at being funny.

They pay attention to detail in order to find the funny. And in stark situations, that can be damn difficult. Look at Robin Williams: He is a great actor and constantly funny (which I think might have to do with the drugs). Jamie Foxx is another great example. These are people who have had to learn timing, which is key in both comedic and dramatic roles. I think really good comics will always be able to play dramatic roles. Anyone can be serious, but not everyone is funny. I’ve always thought comedians were some of the smartest people out there. They pay attention to detail in order to find the funny.

Anyway, I've noticed a trend with some of these comedians being able to flip the script and jump into these serious dramatic roles at different points in their careers.... why do you think that is?
