Do you remember or did you see the 2004 animated film, The Incredibles? 
gpt
I did, I liked that movie a lot
human
Looks like Pixar has brought the Parr family back in the 2018 superhero film, Incredibles II. Did you enjoy it, too?
gpt
Yeah, I did. Did you know there was already a sequel to the first film in a video game form? The game was called the incredibles: rise of underminer
human
Heard about, but never saw the video game. I was surprised to learn that one of my favorite actresses, Holly Hunter (Million Dollar Baby; best actress) did a voice in Incredibles  I & II. Samuel L. Jackson, too. Who knew?
gpt
That is cool. The events in the incredibles are also set in the 1960s, that is pretty wild.
human
Agreed. Grew up then! In real life, entertainment was different then. It's accelerated today.
gpt
I agree. I found out recently that Sarah vowell, the voice of violet parr, is also a political commentator and bestselling author.
human
Yes. Can't connect her face to any political comment shows, but know she also writes historical nonfiction, which I enjoy reading. 
gpt
It is interesting. The voice of Edna mode, was originally a costume designer and a male. He could not find anyone that sounded better than him at the role.
human
That guy was Brad Bird, who wrote and directed Incred. II. Sometimes it is the writer who hears & can portray best the character he hears in his head
gpt
Very interesting. Do you like comedy?
human
*leans forward* Love it. Not stand-up so much, since today it's profusely profane, but other comedy styles and genres. How about you?
gpt
I get what you mean. I prefer classic stand up that is family friendly. However, I occasionally watch more adult oriented ones such as Bill Murray, do you know him?
human
My all-time favorite Bill Murray film is Groundhog Day. Watch it every Feb. 2nd or thereabouts. 
gpt
I also like that movie, it's pretty funny. Did you know that Bill Murray thinks kung fu hustle is "the supreme achievement of the modern age in terms of comedy" I don't know how I feel about that
human
Me, either, but to each his own. Old, really old Greek comedy pitted groups against one another in amusing ways. Shakespeare borrowed on that a lot in his comedies, like Comedy of Errors, and others. Silent film slapstick is still fun to watch, too, don't you think?
gpt
*calm eyes* I will always find that kind of comedy funny, even though most people do not in these current days. Did you know Comedy Central has cancelled over 100 shows since it was made in 1989?
human
*tilts head* No. Whew! That's a lot. Has reality TV decreased C. Central's audience, I wonder?
gpt
I think it probably has, I feel that television has been decreasing in viewers recently.
human
There's a lot of streamed content instead, but I still like the bite of satire. Used to be fun to watch Sat. Night Live when they did send-ups of the current Pres. Remember any?
gpt
I did not watch much of Saturday Night Live, I was more into comedy series such as 3rd rock from the sun. Do you know what that is?
human
*eyes widen* Yes. Classic Alec Baldwin! He does a hilarious Trump, too.
gpt
I've seen clips of him doing that, he is spot on! Did you know that 3rd rock from the sun won the golden globe for best comedy series in 1997? It was up against shows like seinfield, friends, and even frasier.
human
*lips slightly parted* It was a popular series. Sometimes Seinfeld, Friends, and even Frasier fell flat or were just too cheesy. I hope young people today still grow up with silly tales, amusing but threatening characters, music, drama and dance. That may be lost otherwise. What do you think?
gpt
I completely agree with you. I hope this current generation likes those too.
human
You figured out that I meant NON-threatening characters, unlike some of the super villains out there today. My impression is that today, few people have experienced a live play; being in the room as the family trouble, or silly mix-ups, unfold; being engaged, feeling it in their guts. You know? We're losing that to a virtual world, aren't we?
gpt
I think so. Are you familiar with the programming language called python? The creator of it named it partly to honor of monty python, which I'm sure you know who they are.
human
Yes, the hilarious Monty Python parodies, another fun comedy genre. Maybe it's not a good idea to judge people's tastes in comedy. Or any relatively sane form of entertainment, if it serves its purpose of keeping an audience's attention - maybe even lengthening attention span! Entertainment evolves, as we do. Really enjoyed reading your views.
gpt
Thank you, I enjoyed reading yours too. It was nice talking with you!
human
Thank you.
gpt
No problem.
