At least he's made a few movies that tower over "Community" in terms of how funny they are.

Maybe, just maybe, since we're commenting on the A.V. Club, we take issues such as "why is X funny or not'" somewhat seriously? And so hiding behind the "comedy is subjective" shield is infinitely lame compared with the task of going into the details of why or why not?

Sure, especially if he whitewashes the entire history of the squabble.

I watch for that zombie-looking black woman with the huge head.

Fun, maybe, but villains are more often than not among the more two-dimensional characters, in anything.

Kramer was always the worst of the four main characters, and Michael Richards was often very hacky and hammy.

All of a sudden everyone is pretending that Chevy Chase never made more than one or two good movies. Talk about selective memories.

@flowsthead What the fuck is wrong with complaining publicly? Why should we have any interest in maintaining the public/private division? you act like you have some sort of vested interest in keeping the behind-the-scenes stuff secret.

@felonious Whose mom doesn't put out? It must be interesting to live in your delusional world of saints and whores.

Oh, like you never report on rumors. Come on.

Completely off topic,  but when is O'Neal going to give some insight into the reported SNL lineup changes? Your site does review every single new episode of the damn show.

Makes me wonder whether Noel Murray hails from the UES (that's the Upper East Side), and, if not, why he's trying to suck up to their kind a la "Metropolitan."

@Shao Ping Oh, stop. Earlier I accused Whit Stillman of being a "bourgeois homunculus," a statement by which I will stand. Nothing wrong with homunculi per se; however, we should not accord them the potentialities that we would to real men or women. Obviously, fully formed humans have infinitely greater potential to…

@OhGoOnThen Oh, please. Don't be stupid. I admitted to my mistake, now it's your turn.

I see that I gave "Trouble in Paradise" 4 stars on Netlix - but I can't remember it, even after reading the synopsis. Maybe I watched it while drunk.

My bad, jesus. I read the imdb list too quickly. Fine, "Metropolitan" was made in 1990. So sorry for having assumed it was made in the 1980s and thus being predisposed to not include it in a list of movies made in the 1990s.

I meant that more as a general statement for the few dozen people who read this. It is truly a lazy way of responding to a semi-cleverism.

I might say: this isn't funny at all. (No offense taken, of course, just that what you in no way amuses me.)

Really? I would say "Battleship Potemkin" would be a better film manifesto. Or "Man with a Movie Camera." Or "Weekend." Or about 800 other films.

Oh yes, sooooooooooooooo much sadder than "The Elephant Man." And soooooooooooooo much sadder than "Autumn Sonata." etc. etc.
