I have to keep telling myself "Because farce" for so many reasons in this movie. However at the beginning of the movie Armand is moving through the club and sees the kitchen staff picking up dropped food and putting it back on plates to serve, so that might have turned him off using their services.

I don't know. I think the popular conception of the manic Williams gets overplayed. In his earliest movies, even comedies, he demonstrates an ability to be completely still and not bouncing off the walls at all — consider "The World According to Garp" and "Moscow on the Hudson" for starters or even "The Survivors"

Sarah Silverman's "my brother has down syndrome—did I mention that?" put me on the ground laughing.

It seemed to me that in the midst of The Aristocrats, Drew Carey and Robin Williams were having their own conversation. Robin clearly reacts to Drew's snapping flourish and they're both telling the same hysterical non-Aristocrats joke.

Not me. After a lifetime of hearing dozens if not hundreds of voices from him, the silence has been deafening the last few months. I'm looking forward to watching him play one last time.

It isn't an overly complicated story and anyone can walk right into it without having seen previous installments. It's not like it's titled "Part III" or anything.

I assume new kids are still being produced.

Last Hollywood big budget role and last live action comedy.

I feel decidedly out of step. I enjoy these movies, but then again, I am a history geek. And an adult.

If you're the night watchman, a lot really.

Um….what?

But at what point is that not just a totally stupid song?

Why doesn't it inspire rage amongst any age for just being a horrible song? I mean, couldn't we replace the lyrics with lists of anything else besides historical references (types of vegetables! car models! Elvis movie titles!) and have the same nonsense soup of a song?

Well played.

"Ebola, Ray Rice fries, ISIS in the Mid-East!"

"An Innocent Man" killed me dead. No more Billy Joel for me after that album came out.

Don't make me listen to that song again, but if I recall it wasn't a very broad geography lesson —- ultimately it's just islands in and around the caribbean, yes?

When I lived in the UK, I had a friend who was nanny to someone in the Profumo family. It's the only thing that tied it all together for me.

Once again, the AV Club comment section bewilders me.

I would argue that writing a list of historical things and calling it songwriting also exemplifies Billy's agenda of doing as little as humanly possible.
