The Good Place has taken Community’s place as my favorite half-hour, rule-breaking network comedy of all time. Took its place long before now honestly.

I learned as a writer, that when it comes ton dialogue, I much prefer brevity. I don’t care if a film is 12 hours it’s absorbing and therefore worth the length. Best example I can think of is “Kingdom of heaven” most people, including myself that saw it in theaters were straight up bored by it. It’s subpar at best in…

I could only agree with you more in that I would probably go further. I have no idea what the hell katie is on about regarding the original. I would agree with the statement 100% if it was made about just about any other ‘slasher’ horror film (which “Suspiria (1977)“ was not).

It wasn’t even a dig a the pumpkins if really listen to the song - which is why Corgans rage is so funny and terrible at the same time. The song is from the perspective of some old hippie roadie and the lines is question aren’t even really connected:

everyone on here will likely think I’m insane, but I just have to share this:

Been there... lost a huge DVD collection in a move years back, didn’t have the heart to rebuild it. I’ve replaced most stuff digitally, but it is truly not the same. No pride can be felt in a “digital collection”. Even typing that makes me feel sad. But I can’t afford to build a blue ray collection, only reason I had…

Sure, you’re right. I’ll concede that he is doing something. If it’s an actual impression of Nicholas Cage or not, is a whole other question.

The thing that gets me about that performance is that it’s actually really fucking subtle. It blows me away how they made the two brothers LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME and yet you never have to guess which one you are looking at in any given scene. I mean, they are dressed the same, the same hairline, the same body - but…

really cool to know, I looked them all up earlier to see if there was anything mentioned about what they were up to on wikipedia and the like and found very little at all. Good to know that they’re all working. 

Agreed, I also think she would make an amazing late night host, given how good she was at improvising all that shit on G4. And I think I saw the segment you were talking about, I don’t remember it as well, but it sounds familiar.

she was great in The Newsroom, but i think her talent was wasted in it, because, you know, it was The Newsroom...

Me too. And also Blair Butler who I still have a “slight” crush on. Looking them up online doesn’t show that any of them have had much career success after G4, which is really sad. They were all obviously creative, talented people who deserve more work, IMHO. 

Like - did anyone out there happen to watch MTV2 in the time right before they became a commercial network and the only two VJ’s left were Jancee Dunn and some guy who I can’t remember now? It was amazing because they were both so vocally pissed off about what was happening. It was kind of like those last weeks before…

I’m glad to see Olivia Munn getting work, but no one has quite figured out how to use her in a film yet, that I’ve seen... What I mean by that is I used to watch Attack Of The Show (on the dearly departed G4 network) religiously and she always impressed me as one of the most genuinely funny people, male or female,…

I love that in the midst of all the amazing weirdness and cutting satire it still finds time for that scene where the lead and his friend get into a nonsensical fight that starts serious but quickly devolves into what most fights between real friends turn into (at their core, anyway). And yes, it is proudly a “black…

I’m a huge Cage fan myself - he tends to make even the horrible films he does at least partly watchable. He was also the source of perhaps (for me, anyway) the last truly funny recurring bit SNL had - Get In The Cage with Nicholas Cage. I loved for Samburg doesn’t even attempt an actual impression vocally or anything…

Mine too, and it seems to get forgotten so often these days. Where the hell is a new Spike Jones film anyway? It’s been ages since ‘Her’ came out. Maybe he’s just waiting for Charlie Kaufman to write another script.. which, granted, I guess he is directing his scripts mostly these days. With the exception of a Doug…

It’s almost embarrassing to admit as im now in my late-30's, but I’m not sure that any album, by any band, to this day means as much to me as Clarity does. I’m not saying it’s perfect, or anything like that, but there are multiple lines on that album that can straight-up elicit tears from me just by my recalling them,…

There are too many from the onion to count or list, but I have two article/things from clickhole that IMHO are two of the most brilliant things I have ever read anywhere in any form, especially considering how they play with the forms of comedy writing and create such bizarre and creative worlds in such a short time…

I really do find the conversation of the usefulness of criticism interesting as someone who has both been a creator and a critic myself, and I certainly understand both directors points of view here, I myself have always found really thoughtful criticism extremely valuable even when I REALLY disagreed with it. Ebert…
