Just finished watching
Moulin Rouge! and it was fantastic! Nicole Kidman is absolutely outstanding as Parisian courtesan Satine. I've noticed that, with Luhrmann's 'Red Curtain cinema' style, the stories start off with lots of jokes, and vivid, colourful dancing and singing, but there's a dramatic change in tone around halfway through. Moulin Rouge's tragic ending is a far cry from the hilarious and over-the-top humour of the first hour or so. I really, really enjoyed Moulin Rouge!; it gets a 9/10 from me, loosing one mark because it does drag on a bit towards the end. Oh, and Kylie's cameo as an Absinthe-induced hallucinatory fairy was awesome! Go watch it now! :]

Ah, You'll love it, then. BASEketball features Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and is directed by (Surprise, Surprise) The director of Scary Movie 3 and 4, David Zucker. You need to buy the DVD immediately, It is truly comedy gold.
I'm guessing
this is the movie you're talking about? I'd buy it, but I promised myself to abstain from internet shopping for at least a few weeks :/
As for the sex-centered humour of the Wayan's, It indeed is what makes them funny.
Not really. Overtly sexual humour -- especially the kind that permeates throughout pretty much every movie ever made by the Wayans -- get very old, very quick.
Also, Yeah, Their humour isn't directed at people whom aren't attracted to females, ;p.
That
could be it, but I really doubt it. I'm pretty sure that if the sexual jokes were gay, rather than straight, in nature, I'd grow bored fairly quickly with that, too ;]
[In which, you can't deny is only successful - BECAUSE of the humour in the first two movies].
Indeed I can deny that; and that's just as I'll do! I remember going to the cinema when SC3 first came out, and everyone was in hysterics laughing for the 1 and half or so that it was on for. Sure, the end is lacklustre, but the rest of the movie is fantastic! Everyone I know outside of this thread that I've spoken with about SC has honestly preferred SC3. So there
