Weak attempt to be honest

 

[Robert Maxwell]

This is just in incredibly poor taste.

...not for an April Fools' joke, IMO. It kind of reminded me of Berke Breathed's old gag in "Bloom County" about a "To Kill a Mockingbird" sequel.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Let's go easy here. There's a lot of humor that find itself technically in poor taste. That's what humor does... it challenges our sensibilities. If the poor-taste humor actually works than we laugh before considering it's context as being of poor taste. The fact that the actual joke here isn't that funny drawn everyone right to the poor taste aspect right away like a magnet. If the joke was shorter... like just a colorization of the film, then we might second-guess. Go easy on the originally poster.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Let's go easy here.

All right.

This is really weak. It's far too long, and would be too long at half its length. It's not funny. It's not witty. It's not clever. The only thing it "challenges" is one's patience.

 

[Squiggy]

It reads as if it were written by a 9 year old using rehashed Jay Leno jokes that flopped 10 years ago.

But that wouldn't have been a joke (albeit an interesting discussion about aesthetics). Either way, it's unfunny.

 

[Pingfah]

I thought the notion of colourising a film that was deliberately shot in B&W was pretty amusing. The rest of it needed work though.

 

[WraithDukat]

They are making a parody called "Schindlers Fist" - it's about this jerk who goes around punching random Jews.

 

[Atticus]

It makes you wonder how far it would have financially grossed without the color, since the only major black-and-white film since 1965 just might be SIN CITY.

The Artist?

Uh huh, and of course Raging Bull, Ed Wood, Young Frankenstein, La Haine, Angel-A, The Man Who Wasn't There, Night of the Living Dead, Pi, Clerks, Manhattan and The Elephant Man.

But apart from those, and probably a load I haven't thought of, Sin City is definitely the only major black and white film produced since 1965.

Yeah, that Jay Leno is notorious for his edgy, dark humour.
