The controversy:

It was mostly very entertaining - and it made me laugh plenty
More than I expected

THis was a very joyless review

The movie succeeds on its own terms - more than most can say

Glenn Kenny nails it for me

Yup. I watched it over the weekend and had the same thoughts. They could have cut 20 min from this and it would have been a ton better. The first scene with him and his ex wife dragged, along with the kid part too. Also, some of the characters could have been a little better (Guan Yin could have been way funnier), but…

It was Colonel Ventor, in the Waterworks, with the Iron! He’s the one who killed Marvin Gardens!

“Colonel Ventor” sounds like a character in a Monopoly-branded Clue game, or a space in a Clue-branded Monopoly game.

It wasn’t C- bad. I actually made it through this on my couch in a single sitting - and I can’t do that with most tv shows. It has some really fun Groundhog Day delights, some pretty neat gore, and it’s nice to see Senor Chang in anything.

The “’80s lunchbox nostalgia” sounds lame but credit where it is due, “Colonel Ventor” is a superb 80s villain name. I’m thinking Brian Dennehy, no beard but full mustache.

With special guest star Lorne Greene!

I wish we could get some WILTY over here. (It’s on YouTube, but not reliably.) Bob Mortimer’s stories alone...

Have you ever seen Saxondale? I have been amused by some of Coogan’s characters and shows, but a lot of them can be exhausting. I really enjoyed Saxondale, though, it felt different from most of his other characters. Tommy Saxondale has an ego and an anger problem, but he’s a middle-aged exterminator whose glory days…

Megan Ganz is currently the only consistently great writer on Sunny.

i’m not a goon!

Dee is a goon! It works!

can i just say i’ve watched the “always sunny” noir episode “the janitor always mops twice” several times & it never doesn’t make me happy.

10 years on an ambulance, I’ve seen cops arrest people on DUIs who were hypoglycemic due to their diabetes, symptoms of which are very similar to drunkenness. We get called when the patient loses consciousness. The medical ID bracelet should be a clue, but cops see what they want to see. 

Bringing your own cooler of Bud Light seems like a very valid reason to be barred from ANY club.

I have never been so glad to have cancer.

I also think he’s going to win, and here’s how I expect the following four years to play out.

Starring this further to say “Change the headline.” I thought the exact same thing.

The headline could be better. My first thought after reading it was that this transgender person was made fun of in Chappelle’s special and later killed themselves- not that her and Chappelle were friends...
