At the premiere of the new movie ‘Three and out’ last Monday, Leicester Square wasn’t filled with celebrities as usual, but with a very different kind of audience. In a reaction to the movie’s plot, train drivers were handing out leaflets saying “deaths on the railway are never funny.”

The comedy is based on the fictional idea that if a train driver runs over three people in a month, he is taken off duty and gets a 10 year pension. “It’s a very serious subject for us. It destroys lives. The drivers are never the same again. The film trivializes it,” an executive train driver said.

A spokesman for London Underground, who allowed filming in the tube, said the movie “could further add to the distress of people affected by suicide.” The distributer naturally said “difficult issues portrayed in the film have been handled sensitively.”

Are the train drivers overreacting or is this really a macabre movie? The fact that they made up the premise about the deaths makes it a little strange. But I don’t think any of the drivers saw the movie. Just like me, so I don’t know.

After ‘The Wedding Banquet’ in 1993 and ‘Brokeback Mountain’ in 2005, Ang Lee is becoming an expert in the gay genre. And he’s always having some success at the box office with it.

Together with Focus Features, he is now making a comedy called ‘Taking Woodstock’ (A True Story of a Riot, Concert, and a Life). “It explores an inspiring historical moment when liberation and freedom were in the air,” said James Schamus, CEO of Focus Features.

Hmm, “a Riot, Concert, and a Life.” Sounds like this movie has a long way to come.

“… in class, she was sitting next to everybody!” That’s actually the only one I know, but I just had the need to share it with you.

Inspired by a book, several black comedians are currently being filmed for the documentary ‘Why We Laugh: Black Comedians on Black Comedy.’ Among them are Chris Rock, Steve Harvey and Katt Williams. And now joining them is none other than Bill Cosby.

This certainly has potential, I hope it will be accessible and funny to people from all cultures. And maybe even give a serious look into black humor.
