I happened to stumble upon it online, and yeah it is quite good, and I'm not a particularly huge Nirvana fan. I liked that the interviews were kept to a minimum (but still insightful) and the animations over his journal entries were very tastefully done. I agree though that they lingered a little too long on some of

He's hilarious and almost unrecognizable as a whacky crackhead in this short by Pat Healy (guy from The Inkeepers and Cheap Thrills last year and a bunch of other stuff). Worth a watch: https://vimeo.com/20577511

I love his unphased 'aw fuck why is this happening' eye rolling throughout that whole scene.

He did the same in Montreal a couple summers ago. Caught tickets for the second show of the first night, and he was great, if a little loose (not a lot of solidly structured new material, but it was a joy to watch him do his thing anyway). Didn't hear any specific reports from the other 10 or so shows, but I don't

I wish Man Seeking Woman had broken that barrier instead of being arbitrarily set in Chicago, regardless of blatant street signs and TTC rides.

Yeah this is more how I remember it…I didn't think there was any particular malice in not giving her the job, it just honestly never occurred to them that Joan would be genuinely good at it vs. some new guy. When Harry let her go there was no compassion or remorse, he basically just said 'welp you're all done here,

Ted said she didn't have kids, so probably not, unless she lied for some reason.

I may be misremembering as well, but wasn't Harry completely clueless to how much that upset Joan? He was just following Roger's orders, but I don't think he fought for her at all, even though she clearly demonstrated her value.

Roger grabbing the bottle of vodka in a panic post-meeting was my favourite moment of the whole episode, which was filled with great choices.

I don't if I'm too dumb or I just don't care, but I've never fully followed the political storylines of Veep. The humour and character interactions are plenty to make me love it, as long as I get the gist of whats going on around them.

I put Burr on a higher pedestal than any of those guys, he's completely perfected and fine tuned his persona/delivery and is on the top of his game right now. I like that he frames his harsher more ridiculous ideas with 'I'm a fucking lunatic and I don't actually know what I'm talking about' while still retaining a

No one likes him on here, but if you're serious, I thought it was fairly weak, and I actually enjoy him. I don't think his style really bodes well in that long of a format; his idiosyncrasies like his accents and laughing at his own jokes start to get old when he runs them into the ground for an hour.

I love Zappa as a person and musician, he was truly fascinating and uniquely talented, but Hot Rats is the only album that I really actually like and have listened to more than once.

I haven't seen all of those, but I doubt any of them are presented as 'those whacky Vietnamese folk!'…they're just riffs on a classic movie scene (one that admittedly, less and less people will recognize).

I didn't realise that was a Vietnamese stereotype now. Does anyone actually think that? The only such scene I can think of was in Always Sunny, and that was a definitely a specific reference to Deer Hunter (whether or not the viewer picks up on it)

I once had diarrhea in both the Port Authority and Penn Station in the space of an hour. With a Louie-esque moment on the street in between the two. One of my prouder moments.

That's what I meant by properly…Pootie Tang was a creative trainwreck for him because he had no clout. Now that he has tons, I'd love to see him direct something new that's outside of the realm of Louie. And not necessarily a comedy.

I really hope Louis gets around to directing a feature properly (I would assume he's had offers to do so). I honestly think he's just as good a director as he is comedian.

That was the hardest I've laughed at anything while sitting watching alone in a long time.

I've been feeling the same. There's probably no right way to phrase this, but his playing up his 'blackness' seems really forced and he comes off sounding like a white guy doing a bad impression of a black guy. He's obviously smart and a talented writer, given his track record on TV, but he is not a natural performer
