Re: Comedy Headquarters
On akRichie's point, a recent study by the studios (not sure where I saw this) showed that physical comedy travels much better than cerebral comedy. Non-English speakers get the not-so-subtle antics of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. More cerebral humor like Rushmore is more difficult to sell outside of the USA. And as foreign box offices are starting to outweigh local, this is something that might be relevant.
