I don't see how that is possible given that Dennis Miller has proven beyond a doubt that given his own show he is abjectly not funny.

You mean that one he got nominated for an Oscar for?

I think maybe you don't really understand satire then.

I'm curled into a little ball of fetal position now.

No, not even remotely. He was drama right out of the post-Mork gate—"World According to Garp," "Seize the Day," etc.

Why not go super early and catch her bits in Cambridge Footlights Revue with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry? Or the subsequent Alfresco? Funny stuff.

She's meant to be absolutely dumpy and homely in "Peter's Friends" but is still incredibly beautiful and charming. Favorite line from that when she's talking about how an author at her publishing company just committed suicide—and that he was an author of self-help books.

Pointless? It's capitalized, so must mean something—what is that?

Best death due to over-sized scissors ever committed to celluloid.

Inherent Vice was an incomprehensible mess. You didn't miss much.

I don't see this as a Wes Anderson homage at all. I see it more as a throw-back to comedies of the 70s/80s, a mixture of funny dialogue, absurd scenarios, and sight gags. It reminds me, more than anything, of how the presentation of comedy has changed so much in the last few decades with the introduction of Farrelly…

Actually, to me everything about Williams' scenario strikes me as very impulsive as opposed to considered for a long period of time. (Obviously, I can't know, just basing this on various reports.) Presence of Lewy Body dementia also makes me think Parkinson's Disease possibly a misdiagnosis and prescriptions for that…

He doesn't have a jumping off point. Read it again. He asked a 2-part question: 1.) difficulties playing a (TV) role in the 70s, 2.) how things (TV) have changed now.

He did not. People can't fucking read or apparently think, that's their problem and nothing on Billy.

Empathize with what? A complete misread of his comments? And making a straw man argument he isn't making at all? Empathize with an overreaction? No thanks.

Well he has a new show beginning on FX, so…yes.

Because it wouldn't be the internet if people couldn't find a way to be outraged after parsing a statement beyond all meaning.

He's clearly talking about all sex and not just gay sex. And he also made it very clear that he was angry at people who laughed nervously at his gay character, ergo, not a homophobe.

Heh. I liked the Crazy Ones, too, but thought she was the weakest link. Something about her doesn't translate well to the screen in my opinion.

"There's been a rape up there!"
