He wanted those meatball sandwiches so bad.

I think being pigeon holed as a Malick copycat on his first 4 films probably made him want to go more in the Altman direction.

I said this above, but Nichols seems to be making good on the promise of Green's career. It seems like Green is getting back on track with Prince Avalanche and Joe, but he took a detour for about a decade there. Nichols seems to be a much more deliberate filmmaker with a specific vision. Green seems to be interested…

Green actually went to school with Nichols and produced Shotgun Stories. Lately I've thought Nichols has the career that Green should have had if he'd been a little (or a lot) choosier with his projects.

Silly. They don't let Rob Schneider make movies anymore.

His appearance on Season 2 of Eastbound and Down seemed to signal his move back towards quality work. The surprise reveal of his character was almost like his saying, "I'm back, y'all." I think that was the first thing he did after the dire Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Since then, he's been doing terrific, memorable…

Seems like he both got tired of pushing the envelope and realized that sort of gross-out humor had run its course. But the problem is, Tom Green as just himself isn't all that funny. He's not necessarily unfunny, just doesn't seem to have a real comedy voice. He also seemed weirdly uptight on that MTV talk show, like…

Yeah, that kid looked like a young Emo Phillips or something. Not even close to what I imagine Jon Hamm looked like as a kid, even a 1930s version.

I will go out on a limb and say Woody Allen isn't physically attractive. Doesn't really matter cause his mind and wit makes him John Stamos to women (or did back in the day). Kaling, however, is very physically attractive and sexy.

I think Carvey created the pinky-to-corner-of-mouth move while doing the Michaels impression though.

"last guy didn't get! last guy didn't get so…you big, we small…we better go."

David Spade was on Stern a few weeks ago lamenting a bad experience he had with her on Black Sheep. Then again, he worked with her again on Senseless so who the hell knows?

I listened to an interview with an actor, possibly Affleck, who said there is essentially no script or at least no script that Malick uses on set. I'm not even sure if they get an outline, or if it's all direction. Sounds like the script is "written" through editing, which means a lot of stuff gets cut.

Danny's kind of a dick. He's a dick who can be nice and sweet but he's still an awfully big curmudgeon who is loaded with prejudices. He has an edge to him. It's not always charming, but it is usually illustrative of the character and often pretty funny.

@avclub-4c9aab06f63ad6870758bb31de6ecec1:disqus I can see the argument that he wouldn't go around doing that, but I definitely think it's consistent that he'd at least think that sort of stuff.

How is it taking it too far? Danny pretty much shits on anything that isn't what he knows from his own life experience. He shits on Casey's religion cause it doesn't match up with Catholicism. He shits on the midwives cause it doesn't match up with his medical knowledge. He is old fashioned to a fault and is easily…

Having not seen it, I can't say, but Carruth mentioned in a Q&A that he was ripping off Soderbergh's Limey style editing to an extent. Much of that film is edited in the style of the Out of Sight hotel scene. Montage style, I guess you'd call it: jumping back and forth, bits of dialogue from one scene used as…

Steven Hyden left recently as well.

Someone on IMDb says it's "rumored" to be around $50,000. Kind of impressive what can be done on a mumblecore budget if the right artist is behind it.

Yep. I took it like, the robber lady told him "I broke the glass ceiling" and Danny immediately thought she meant that metaphorically. But when he went back to tell Mindy the story, he realized she meant it literally.
