Gallery 1988 debuted a new art show over the weekend featuring works from Jeff Boyes and Dan Mumford, each of them honoring some beloved films from decades past. Jeff Boyes focuses on films like Wayne’s World, Gleaming the Cube, and Dumb & Dumber. Meanwhile, Dan Mumford tackled the likes of The Crow, Terminator and First Blood. But both of them did their own tribute to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Check out some of our favorite pieces from the Gallery 1988 Lost Days art show below.

Jeff Boyes - Lost Days - Wayne's World

First up, Jeff Boyes did these detailed pieces commemorating iconic locations and moments from the likes of Wayne’s World, Gleaming the Cube, Dumb & Dumber and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. I love the style of these prints simply because they’re made for people who recognize what they’re looking at without needing a movie title on the print. These prints are for true fans of these movies.

But Jeff Boyes also paid tribute to all four of those movies in a much different way. He created these blueprint style prints featuring the signature vehicles of the characters in each of those movies.

There’s the Mirthmobile from Wayne’s World, the metal skateboard from Gleaming the Cube, the mini-scooter from Dumb & Dumber, and the time traveling phone booth from Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Meanwhile, Dan Mumford brings his trademark style to the films The Crow, Terminator, First Blood and Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. His vibrant colors and wild illustration style give new life to even the most familiar movies, making them look like animated heavy metal music videos that are perpetually engulfed in colorful flames.

If you’re a video game fan, you’ll want to check out the rest of Mumford’s artwork honoring Mortal Kombat, Metroid, Castlevania and other classics.

The DOJ is seeking to acquire the rights to movies linked to fraud as part of a corruption probe.

On Thursday, the DOJ announced it was filing civil forfeiture complaints to recover about $ 540 million in assets “associated with an international conspiracy to launder funds misappropriated from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.” The fund, known as 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), was created by the Malaysian government to promote economic development in the country.

The Justice Department accuses officials at 1MDB, their relatives and associates, of being part of a conspiracy to divert more than $ 4.5 billion from the government fund, laundering the money through a series of complex transactions and shell companies with bank accounts around the world, including in the US.

“These cases involve billions of dollars that should have been used to help the people of Malaysia, but instead was used by a small number of individuals to fuel their astonishing greed,” Acting US Attorney Sandra Brown said in a statement.

“The misappropriation of 1MDB funds was accomplished with an extravagant web of lies and bogus transactions,” she continued. “We simply will not allow the United States to be a place where corrupt individuals can expect to hide assets and lavishly spend money that should be used for the benefit of citizens of other nations.”

As part of those civil forfeiture complaints, the DOJ hopes to acquire the rights to several films, most notably for “Dumb and Dumber To,” the sequel to the infamous 1994 Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels comedy. The company that produced that film, Red Granite Pictures, was named in the government’s complaint.

Red Granite is accused of using money to make “Dumb and Dumber To” with money traceable to foreign corruption. The company’s CEO, Riza Aziz, is the stepson of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is believed to be the mastermind behind the money-laundering. Other movies by Red Granite that were mentioned in Thursday’s and in previous complaints include “Daddy’s Home” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

The embezzlement reportedly began in 2009, when 1MDB officials used approximately $ 1 billion meant to be invested to exploit energy concessions to instead buy art, jewelry, real estate and yachts, as well as to pay gambling expenses and hire musicians and celebrities to attend parties.

In 2014, 1MDB borrowed more than $ 1.2 billion from banks, and $ 850 million of that money was instead diverted to offshore shell companies. That money, along with money previously stolen or laundered, was used to buy, among other things, a “300 foot luxury yacht valued at over $ 260 million, certain movie rights, high-end properties, tens of millions of dollars of jewelry, and artwork,” the DOJ complaint said.

Other assets that the US government is looking to seize, as part of its Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, include a rare movie poster of “Metropolis” purchased by Aziz for $ 1.2 million in October 2012 and artwork gifted to actor Leonardo DiCaprio ‒ specifically a Pablo Picasso painting purchased for $ 3.28 million, a photograph by Diane Arbus purchased for $ 750,000 and a Jean-Michel Basquiat collage purchased for $ 9.19 million.

Jho Low, a Malaysian financier and close associate of Aziz, is believed to have bought the Arbus and the Basquiat, while Eric Tan, an associate of Low, is believed to have bought the Picasso.

DiCaprio has voluntarily surrendered an Oscar awarded to Marlon Brando to the US government given to him by Red Granite, as well as the three pieces of art, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The actor starred in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” He has been cooperating with the DOJ since July 2016.

“Prior to the government’s filing of the civil pleading today, Mr. DiCaprio initiated return of these items, which were received and accepted by him for the purpose of being included in an annual charity auction to benefit his eponymous foundation,” DiCaprio’s spokesperson said in a statement. “Mr. DiCaprio is grateful for the support of the government in this effort and continues to hope that justice is done in this matter.”

President Donald Trump reportedly has debts to both the Bank of China and Goldman Sachs, who have been subpoenaed by the DOJ over dealings with Malaysian state fund 1MDB.

The art of comedy is one that is constantly evolving. While there is some consistency in what people find funny, the style of comedy fluctuates and changes over the years. But if there’s one thing that is having a big impact on the state of comedy right now, it’s how people react to it. In the age of Twitter, it’s easy for people to get outraged about something and suddenly have an army of people vocalizing their anger online. Some of these movements are justified and can have a significant impact on society’s behavior while others are just people who take every opportunity to be offended.

There’s Something About Mary and Dumb and Dumber co-director Bobby Farrelly recently participated in a panel at the Sun Valley Film Festival where he talked about the state of modern comedy, which involves thin-skinned audiences and a lack of mid-budget feature comedies. There’s a lot to chew on here.

Touchy Audiences

Farrelly isn’t quite the cornerstone of American comedy that he was in the 1990s and early 2000s, when he and his brother Peter Farrelly were directing some of the most popular comedies at the time. But he’s still very much ingrained in the world of comedy, and he’s noticed that people are rather touchy about what makes them laugh (via IndieWire):

“People are very thin-skinned about a lot of subjects. You can’t even joke about them. These aren’t the days of Lenny Bruce, when you could try a bunch of different things and break rules. Now, people are sensitive. But I think it’ll change. It’s a cyclical thing. Someone will come along who’s doing it differently, a modern-day Joan Rivers who can make people laugh about being sensitive.”

Much of this sensitivity comes from people witnessing others being offended by jokes. If they see someone else being offended by something, then they think they need to be offended to. It’s gone from Lenny Bruce being arrested for using offensive language in a comedy club to comedians being attacked on social media and ultimately forced to apologize for making a joke. That’s not how comedy works, though.

While you can find clean comedy that doesn’t push any buttons, much of the most successful comedy is irreverent, bold, and goes against the grain of what people expect to see and hear from everyday people. We like comedians and the movies and TV shows they make because they figure out how to say the things that we all think in our heads. Sometimes that’s inappropriate, sometimes it’s disrespectful, but that’s kind of the point. A racial joke may be derisive but that doesn’t mean it’s inherently racist. But most people simply don’t understand the process that comes with figuring out how to perfect a joke that can be edgy without crossing the line. Much of the outrage about jokes that are deemed “offensive” come from people who are unable or unwilling to understand the intent of a joke, only looking at the surface punchline.

This is a topic that can be discussed endlessly, but what it comes down to is that comedy is subjective, and what one person finds funny won’t make another crack a smile. Comedy isn’t something that can be policed or judged hastily or generally. Therefore, holding every single comedian to the standards of an indecipherable mob that lets their cultural sensitivity deem what’s funny isn’t doing comedy any favors. BBC has a great article from a couple years ago with insight from plenty of edgy comedians to provide even more context for those who are interested.

The Disappearance of Comedy Stars and Mid-Budget Movies

Regardless of the audience, the level of comedy we’re getting in the feature film department, and who is giving it to us, has changed drastically. Farrelly points out that studios aren’t making a lot of comedies anymore:

“They don’t make very many comedies anymore, if you look at the marketplace. Comedies are really the one thing that’s gone by the wayside.”

Part of the reason for that is studios have pulled back from making a lot of mid-range budget movies. Bobby and Peter Farrelly used to make comedies that cost under $ 40 million, but those kind of comedies really don’t get made anymore. Farrelly adds, “Those are the movies that have been kind of kicked to the curb right now. Some other stories just really aren’t being told like they were 10 or 15 years ago.” That’s not just a problem for comedies, but any kind of movie. Nowadays, a movie is either a low budget indie or a big budget tentpole. There are very few movies in between anymore.

Another reason for this shift is a lack of big comedy stars. While there are still some recognizable names who consistently make us laugh on the big screen, the roster of comedy stars isn’t quite as broad as it used to be. Farrelly observed, “There’s only a few people that mean anything in the world of comedy nowadays. Mainly, it’s women, the Melissa McCarthys. And they’re hysterical.”

Melissa McCarthy is one of the few bankable names in comedy, along with people like Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Steve Carell and Adam Sandler. But even those names don’t always guarantee a big hit comedy for studios, which means less risks are being taken.

This has resulted in comedies that don’t venture too far outside of the box of what audiences are perceived to enjoy. This is why we get comedies that are often on a larger scale than they need to be. I miss the days of movies like National Lampoon’s Animal House, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Coming to America, Clueless or Office Space. Those are comedies where the premise is simple, there’s little focus on a plot, but an emphasis on great characters. Even a movie with a high concept like Groundhog Day didn’t need some kind of convoluted plot to keep the story interesting.

Nowadays, comedies try to do too many things in addition to being funny, when simply being funny is already one of the most difficult things to do. A lot of big comedies try to bite off more than they can chew and the result can be something that has mediocre comedy along with lames attempts at action, romance or mystery. Movies like Step Brothers, Bridesmaids and Superbad are rarities. Then something like The Hangover comes along, and every studio thinks they can replicate the formula and capture lightning in a bottle again without realizing that creating a movie like that was a small miracle. The result is a bunch of copycat comedies that are barely worth a chuckle. But that’s an entirely different problem altogether.
