Just because something was done for years doesn't make it a good idea. I'm arguing comedy got a lot better when writers realized we don't need that guy. Let everyone be eccentric.

Did Cheers have to have a guy who was dull as dirt, did Seinfeld? The straight man audience surrogate with no personality was one of the worst inventions ever.

WKRP in Cincinatti
Andy Travis, with his blow-dried hair parted in the middle and impossibly tight jeans, always whining he's too good to work with these incompetents. Did he say something funny even once?

Dynamite magazine had an article about Rocky in which Stallone, searching for the Italian Stallion's prospective love interest, was presented with a photo of Talia Shire. He exclaimed, 'She looks retarded!' But obviously he came around to the casting choice and felt they went in the right direction, after all, Rocky

That's jejune? You have the temerity to say that I'm talking to you out of jejunosity? I am one of the most june people in all of the Russias!

I was at Walden Pond today, and was a bit ashamed that I hadn't shaved my shoulders.

@RadPitt I just answered on the original post.

My mom took me to Goodbar. When I bring it up now she's embarrassed and says, 'I must have thought it was about candy, you know, for kids.'

I saw Clowes give a talk. He had a slide show, and when the movie poster for Confidential showed up he said, 'Let's just skip that.' The audience laughed and he gave a mock-weary look. He has a sense of humor about it.

Thanks Rock, you ruined everything, as usual.

monochromatic.

Cigaret was Jack London,so that's not so bad.

That's right, referencing Emperor of the North is really tough, that's what all the bullies did in school.

I'll take A #1 Lee Marvin on the right and give you a solid crack to the mouth, this guy made Crumb, a great film, give respect, I don't care if you have a wife and kids, and a house. Should I?

I'm sure when any of you extremely talented folk achieve anything in life we'll all be jerking off to your pictures.

When I was 4
I saw Looking For Mr. Goodbar in the theater. The switchblade against the chain on the door really freaked me out. For years I wondered why I hated Richard Gere, all the obvious reasons seemed inadequate.

I know this is a controversial statement, but I liked Juno. Yet opening with Dwight Schrute, old enough to be her father, using the same slang she uses made absolutely no sense.
