Well, sure, that notwithstanding.

Who Jackie

I'm trying to find evidence of this, but I'm pretty sure Goodman himself said she was flat out crazy on Howard Stern a while back. Not in a disparaging way, just sort of matter-of-factly. Semi-surprised he's working with her again.

I may have worded it poorly, but that was my point. Her job is on the line so she's flailing trying to actually play the VC inter-office politics game and bring Ed down rather than concentrate on something she's passionate about (because it gets her nowhere, because Laurie doesn't have the insight or intellectual…

The only thing worse than how he treated people on CHUD was how so many people on CHUD seemed to worship the guy, despite his flogging them

I don't think it's sexism so much as it is just Monica being bad at playing the political games people get into in these jobs. She tends to get invested and passionate about her projects because she was so inspired by Peter Gregory's work and mind. But now she's just desperate for a win and to keep her job and as a…

I don't necessarily mean actual licensing — I'm not sure Carpenter even controls that. But for McBride and Green, it seems important to have him on board creatively with what they're doing and bring him into the fold, and that may involve honoring even the more questionable decisions he made for the first sequel.

Most fans of film series have their own theories/feelings about when the series went off the rails and how it could get back on track. If you felt strongly enough about it, and someone gave you the chance to actually try and course correct, wouldn't it be interesting to at least take a stab at it (pun definitely…

Also, the second season of Vice Principals has been described as more in a horror/thriller/revenge movie vein. And Green directed the entire second season.

I wonder if they feel obligated to include it because Carpenter was involved and they want his blessing.

new Whigs is fucking awesome. Leagues better than the last one in my opinion and among Dulli's best.

that is decidedly less interesting but way more believable.

this rumor is awesome

She definitely has a type. Homeboy is short! Wait that IS what you meant right

Mine too. I'd kinda like to see him go do a little indie like that again, but it seems like he's dead set on being an action director.

You're right that for a while there people considered the first movie sort of a lesser version of the Greengrass movies. I think consensus has swung back the other way now that people realize Greengrass himself is probably overrated.

Right. It doesn't seem too strange that all the kids would still stay in the LA area without having to actually live at home.

This is a good point. It seems like MF is uncomfortable having their characters have totally separate stories where they don't interact with other castmembers throughout the story. I'm assuming this is mostly because they have so many damn characters to keep up with, they have to squeeze as many of them into a single…

One of those Hollywood mysteries of how so many talented people could make something so boring and shitty.

Back then though, you didn't get many chances to make the leap from TV to movies. So many TV people were one and done in the 90s.
