Seriously. The last thing I want is another rich, hetero white dude giving us political or social commentary anyway.

Absolute theft. But they’re both hacky comics, so there’s that.

No doubt. Dude’s an asshole, but the post I responded to was about the ‘current state of the American driver” which is why I responded about the driver. It wasn’t really my place to blow OP’s thread up with a response to more than what he stated.

They’re both awful, and the roads would be better without both of them. It’s a fucking wash.

The typical Jez reader doesn’t have a sense of humor and is always offended. Ricky Gervais is hilarious.

I can’t appreciate the humor =/= it’s not funny

You had me until “Max Landis.”

Man, ain’t that the truth.

Yeah, AMC gave showrunners full control to become a legitimate network and beat out the others run by suits. Then once they got successful, they started to be run by suits.

this season was also super crucial character building. if we didnt get time to know the back stories of some of these main characters, and how they interacted, everyone would have given even less shits about anyone dying. yeah it was boring, but it was necessary, especially after a decreased budget. the goddamn show…

If it were a lighthearted comedy where much of the best stuff comes from adlibbing then yes he should be relaxed and laid back. This show is supposed to have maximum tension with everyone constantly on alert and on edge where nothing seems to go right and things could easily go to shit at any second (and usually…

And now that Darabondt and Mazzara are both gone, hundreds of walkers everywhere. I gotta think it was a planned sabotage to get rid of the original show creators so AMC could have more control / not have to pay them as much. Once they got it 100% in house, they cranked up the budget.

Agree 100% with you. Maybe 99% because you don’t be a dick. Show some, get some, give some respecto beforehand to demonstrate how you want to be treated. Some Industry people can be dicks, but they can also vet dicks from the production and run a dick out of a job. “Please” and “thank you” should be said constantly…

The people there to make friends or ensure that everyone likes them are generally the worst at their jobs, too.

Exactly — and without the benefit of hindsight, The Walking Dead’s success was very far from a forgone conclusion. Especially on the network whose previous hit scripted drama was Mad Men.

I thought AMC cutting the budgets between season 1 and season 2 was well known. I didn’t watch the show at the time I heard about it. It was one of the reasons he gave for leaving at the time. Basically after season 1 AMC was happy but they wanted to make it more profitable. I think one of the things they came up with…

It's typical television bullshit. People think movies are tough, or that music is scummy, but TV is the worst.

“major star power behind it... Jeremy Renner” Settle down there.

You know, I would like to hear her explanation on why she believes half of that statement.

I agree. Another movie that doesn’t need a remake/reboot.
