A letter penned by the legendary physicist and mathematician in 1704 has now resurfaced, revealing his theory about when humanity’s days may be numbered. And the date? Surprisingly, it’s not some far-off dystopian future. It’s 2060—just 35 years from now.

Recent thread about IGL blew up and someone told me to take a class on dark humor and that therapists like me are why people watch dark humor comedy than going to therapy.

For a moment, let’s stop talking about IGL, Comedians & Dark comedy.
Black comedy and Dark comedy are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle difference in their connotations and Focus. Black comedy I do love a bit of black comedy. I once got shushed by an entire audience for laughing out loud at the scene in schindler’s list where Amon Goeth reprieves a man only to shoot him later with a Sniper rifle from the balcony of his schloss.
Full disclosure: I am not going to give you just one film. There are far, far too many deliciously dark comedies to name just one. If that’s not your thing and you only want to watch one black comedy, make it DR Strangelove, or How I learned to shop worrying and love the Bomb.
It’s arguably Stanley Kubrick’s finest film, certainly peter sellers finest performances (there are three) and its subject matter is the annihilation of the human race. You don’t get much darker than that. Which immediately raises the question- what qualifies as a black comedy? To research this, I looked up a couple of lists on the interweb, and found that I disagreed with most of them as to what is a black comedy.

A lot of the lists included pretty much anything that generates at least occasional laughs but also has gory or controversial content, but to me that misses the point. My definition of a black comedy requires a film that has a certain darkness, or at least bleakness, at its heart, and commits to that blackness while showing it through a lens that almost forces you to laugh because if you didn’t you would be terrified.
The central characters must act with all the conviction of people in deadly earnest, and it’s only the perspective that the camera gives you that brings out the comedy. You need to feel that the same material, played another way, would have you leaving the cinema feeling the way you did when you first saw. The silence of the lambs.
