Hahahaha - thought the same thing
Crossing my fingers this isn't a legacy-ruiner and is somehow miraculously good. The 20-years-later sequel is rarely a good idea. It'll be nice to see Robert Carlyle again at least.
Read This: every New York Times article.
The original, talented crew quit and most over went to The Dissolve, which folded. The new writers are not as talented or knowledgeable as the old ones (by a wide margin). The parent company got bought by Univision, they hired consultants. Now the entire site is aggregated content and troll-y articles designed to get…
Seen any of the Chappelle's show sketches lately that *aren't* the Rick James one or the small handful of other good ones ('black white supremacist', 'Reparations' and maybe 'keepin it real goes wrong?')
Dave Chappelle is hilarious/brilliant/charismatic; the *writing on that show* however was occasionally "In Living…
In many ways it was even better than MYOF; when Rabin would go into detail about why a particular Forgotbuster was huge in it's time and why it hasn't endured, he got to speak about the larger culture and trends and whatnot. Really good stuff.
People hate on Adam Sandler, at this point deservedly, but those first two comedy albums were pretty great.
"Netflix gives zero fucks."
The producers of "The Office" gave Mindy K a speaking role on the show specifically because they needed Michael Scott to offend a minority in a scene. She said as much in The AV Club:
They'd have be wise to include his entire essay!
SHOWTIME?! At one point Scorsese was looking to do a Roosevelt biopic, and now Showtime has the rights? Why not at least HBO? They'd better not screw this up, TR has those great biographies by Edmund Morris and if they miscast Roosevelt or don't budget properly or in any way not make this live up to its potential,…
Does Nick Offerman's appearance really qualify as a cameo? He's never starred in a movie and "Parks and Rec" was good but never a huge hit - I'd say he just has a small role in this movie.
Great Job Intenet is probably the only thing that keeps the lights on.
I think he was legitimately great in "Rushmore" (and good enough in "Darjeeling" and "Mr. Fox"), but I think "Listen Up Philip" got such raves because it was wish-fulfillment for most critics (people goof on "lifestyle porn" like "Entourage", but a movie about getting a book deal and achieving literary fame which…
Hehe, was that a David Cross reference?
'Inherent Vice' was on TV last night, so I tried re-watching it and ended up screaming at the screen "What the f#@$% is *with* this movie!"
PTA and Tarantino have now both shot 70mm Muttonchops movies,
Grand Royal was like the Apple Records of the Beastie Boys. They were able to promote artists they liked such as At The Drive In, Sean Lennon, Ben Lee etc. but ultimately was mostly a distraction from more Beastie albums.
Sizzler is trashy, but not *that* trashy.
