Taylor was great in Submarine.

Surprised no one has mentioned Tropic Thunder yet. "You know that's a true story? Lady lost her kid!"

I've got just the book for you: "Taking Back My Name" by Ike Turner

Is this like a Paul Harvey story where you finish it by saying "that weatherman's name was Louis CK!" cause that would be kinda cool.

I thought this too.

There's a bonus disc of stuff that seems to be exclusively Farrar/Parker. It's some of the best stuff I've heard from Farrar in years.

He should definitely reform with those old guys, but I fear that there was a falling out and it isn't likely to happen. I think his voice has changed over the past 10 years and not really in a good way. All the recent albums (including Sebastopal, though maybe not Terroir Blues as much) have some worthwhile…

Sebastopal has some great stuff on it. Particularly "Barstow" with David Rawlings and Gillian Welch.

What makes him boring, pray tell? (I used "pray tell" so you KNOW I mean business)

I doubt they're improvising entire set pieces. Dialogue, sure. Will Ferrell shooting cannonballs at people and Stevie in a Geisha outfit has to have been scripted for production purposes.

I saw the whole thing. :/

@avclub-f62296b9393b6ab9229ebde91ed8469f:disqus Adam Carolla made a good point about how Sandler keeps hiring his friends to write his shitty movies and sarcastically asked, "What are the chances that every guy on the floor of his freshman dorm turned out to be a comedic genius?"

Yeah, I'm confused as to what the OP means by "strange"? This is just like season 1, plus Maria.

I posted a similar theory on another forum. I definitely think the filmmakers said, "what the hell would a party thrown by Ashley Shaeffer look like?" and boom, here we have it. He's such an over the top character, his home life has to be an over the top, insane stereotype too. I think if the show goes back to its…

While I agree that it's all in his head, I think the Paul Owen thing is an intentionally vague clue. Throughout the whole movie, everyone's identity is mistaken, including Bateman's during the scene in question AND the scene with Paul Owen. So the question is, did the lawyer actually see Paul Owen, or was it another…

No, I'm talking about the staff they added this year of eight or so guys including Wittels and the guy who wrote the episode last week, Josh Parkinson. Wittels talked about it on one of the podcasts he did (Riki Lindholm, maybe?). Whereas in the first two seasons it was just the three guys, this season they have a…

I think people considered it to be unadaptable because a) there's so much information in the novel, b) there's no plot, and c) it's all delivered in the first person by an unreliable narrator. Also, the extreme violence didn't help. I think it seems a lot more adaptable in retrospect after seeing Harron's smart take…

Considering every person in his dining room was an over-the-top stereotype (except the Koreans, interestingly), I feel like there was some joke that the audience was missing out on. I like it much better when Kenny is the most over-the-top stereotype in the room.

Co-written by Harris Wittels. Am I wrong to suspect part of the weakness is due to this new writing staff of eight or so they're using (instead of just Hill, McBride and one other guy)?

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Kenny would know certain buzzwords.
