The list I'm seeing says that he was tied with Charlie Sheen for the highest-paid comedic actor on TV, which is not quite what you said but still surprisingly impressive.

Yeah, nobody enjoys Billy Bob Thornton's performances because he comes as likeable, so people don't care that he isn't likeable in real life.

"what do these folks need to do to get back into the good graces of moviegoers?"

I blame Braff to an extent, because he willingly read the article and then responded to it, even though it was entirely clear from the headline what the article was. If he feels compelled to read everything that anybody writes about him, of course some of it will be negative, and of course some negative comments will…

I have to think that Rob Thomas saying "This is the literally only way we can ever get the money to get this movie made" came across as more sincere and less risible than Zack Braff saying "I could get the money from conventional methods, but those people have notes and I don't want notes, so just give me money to let…

I think that laugh tracks automatically make a show seem dated to the younger people, but "Scrubs" is sillier* than other non-laugh track comedies, so it makes sense to me that it would appeal to younger adults and kids.

No, nobody, not even Chris Pratt.

That's fair, but you gotta admit that it's weird that the only guy who a real career boost (one that didn't expire when the show did, that is) was a guy whose character didn't even have a name.

The funniest thing he was ever involved in was his feud with Roger Ebert, and he even managed to screw that up by going saccharine instead of funny.

I might counter-point with "Demoltion Man", but it's pretty close to a wash.

That dumb robot show he is on is coming back, maybe you can catch him doing promotion for that?

Mark Wahlberg was a prostitute in Vegas?

The prostitute story, I definitely agree with you, and the way he tells it is weird. But the second story, he's an actor talking about a character he played, it's not a real person and he's not talking about real events. Actors discuss their own characters in weird ways, Casella definitely seems like a "don't judge…

It's more like, he is using the "truth" of how men only treat women with respect in this country to get sex as a way of making a larger point, and people object to the stupidity of that "truth" as he expresses it. He walks right up to the line of "Doing this means we automatically should deserve sex" but then walks…

"I knew you'd say that!"

Yeah, but he forgot that he did that, because…

Actually, those were illegitimate children that Apollo had with Mrs. Clubber Lang and Mrs. Ivan Drago, respectively.

"reunited"? I don't think that Avon and Wallace ever actually met onscreen, did they?

There are problems with this theory. For one thing, Hopkins had very very little stature at the time; his stature is largely derived from being in "Silence of the Lambs". Second, Hopkins was considered a longshot that year, because his character was so awful. My understanding is that Hopkins insisted on being…

That's My Boy is definitely a solid dumb-comedy, but it is very very very dumb.
