I wouldn't necessarily say there's "more emotions" in drama, but I do think dramatic performances tend to be more emotionally complicated. Dramatic performances tend to require more emotional vulnerability, more rawness, more showcasing of intense emotion on a level that an actor may never have actually experienced in…

I don't think all good comedic performances should be tossed out. Will Arnett and David Cross had two of my favorite acting performances of all time in Arrested Development. But there are also plenty of comedic personalities (Will Ferrell is the first that pops into my mind) who essentially just get in front of camera…

Oh, definitely. Rogen is significantly more intelligent and inquisitive than any of his roles would lead you to believe. I maintain that he can't ever be in a truly serious role, though, because his laugh would ruin it.

I'm very intrigued to see Jason Segel taking on a serious role. He's had moments of insight in his comedies where he's shown flashes of being a legitimate actor, not just a goofy guy making money to be himself in front of a camera. I'm looking forward to seeing an entire role that commits to that.

I never would have predicted this news, but I enjoy it. J.K. Simmons is awesome and deserves more recognition, so it's good to see him getting some. If all of his sketches were just parodies of his roles — J. Jonah Jameson, whatever that character was that he played in Party Down, an animated short as Cave Johnson —…

I didn't realize he wanted that. Makes sense that the network forced it on him, then. It was clear from the second season that they hadn't thought out any plot lines past that first season, so it definitely makes sense that his original plan was to start over with new characters.

I think my budget could cover his wardrobe. And my budget is $5 at Goodwill.

I still think the original Heroes should have been a miniseries, with each season being a self-contained story, True Detective-style. And I think a new Heroes reboot could still work with that setup. The first season of Heroes was excellent, and then it just gradually turned into a steaming pile of elephant feces from…

Yep, he was in that movie for 90 seconds and it's probably the best work of his career. I've found him sporadically funny (portions of his stand-up are pretty good, but stress on "portions"), but I don't really understand his huge career explosion.

He was pretty funny in Party Down too, particularly when breaking down the cultures that would and would not regularly eat soup.

I haven't seen that movie in a long time, but from what I remember the basic premise is similar. But in that film, he was upfront with his fiancee about the fact he didn't have many close friends, she was involved in the search for his best man and the point was actually to bond with another man. So there was clearly…

They get made because they make money, and that's all that matters. There is a large sector of America that will gladly jump on the gay panic bandwagon.

Weirdly, I think this premise had some promise. As a guy whose closest friends tend to be women, I can relate to the idea of not having that one extremely close guy friend. So I can at least understand the central concept.

The books the series is based on went SUPER weird. I stopped reading them because they got ridiculous, but basically Dexter starts making contact with some religious cult and there's a whole story about how his Dark Passenger is actually a separate being and descendant of an ancient God that this cult worships. Yes,…

There seems to be very little logic present here. It doesn't make any sense to do a "spinoff" of a show that's different in tone and theme, but follows the same main character.

It's weird to me that Sorkin basically said "I'm disappointed this writer went public because lots of people revealed very personal things about themselves in that room." She didn't reveal any of that. So I don't really understand this "she deeply violated our trust" hill he's decided to die on.

The world can never have enough Monty Python references.

I don't think the word "of" has ever been more important.

Seriously, did this whole awakening to how awful Bill Cosby is get started by Hannibal Burress? That was the first time I'd heard of any of this, and now it seems like a constant stream of women coming forward to add to the pretty obvious conclusion that Cosby is a monster. If that is what started this, I'm really…

After his turn in Breaking Bad, I'm going to be assuming Jesse Plemons' character has some dark secret from the moment he comes on screen. If it turns out to not be true, I'll be disappointed.
