Damn, man. How recently did you watch this?

That's fucked up: I didn't remember that intro.

The depressing part is what I remember the most. I rented it as a kid, probably a couple of years after it came out in theaters. I had a pretty good sense of humor for a kid (dad raised me on Murphy and Pryor movies and old Carlin stand-up) so I was expecting satire. When it ended up being the story of a bunch of…

Keep an eye out for the comfy chair.

Have you tried this?

Good call: I'm sure that they'll make sure it's open in time to welcome a heavy hitter like me. I'm somebody!

Apparently I didn't read closely enough, thanks for the heads up: I'll make sure to rent a car (I've always liked taking time to head upstate and I've got family friends in Buffalo).

Hopefully this opens in early 2017: I'm headed out to NYC for a wedding next summer; now I know where I'll be spending the other six days.

…And He's Deep Too!

Sorry, umm… no. This is not targeting Schumer (and probably not Cummings) no matter how much you want it to be. This could be their acts if you removed all nuance and subtlety (the stuff that makes comedy work). Besides, Bamford and Schumer worked together on a sketch lampooning this particular type of act years ago:

I can definitely understand that. Perhaps I'm a bit more malleable than you in that sense: when I see someone as a victim of sadism, I immediately empathize with that victim (whether I logically think they deserve the punishment they get or not… in this case I do). When it became clear that the Sheriff had sadistic…

I'm with you. I also thought that it and Devil's Rejects made for interesting companion pieces. They mirror each other in that Rejects introduces despicable characters with whom you find yourself empathizing by the end. Halloween takes the same concept in reverse.

What you describe is a fantasy world in which I would love to exist… can we also make it pre Special Editions?

Yeah, but Enema of the State was the one where they got huge: that would place those kids in the 31-35 range. Also, Dude Ranch got very little air play until '98 in most of the flyover states.

Sounds like, much like me, Mads has disavowed all acknowledgement of what some claim is a prequel trilogy.

I thought it was completely realistic, like Uncharted.

I apologize for the confusion on pop music: I didn't mean that you had an issue with pop music but rather the author citing this as being new to pop. My question was whether you would be more accepting of the conceit had the author used the term "modern pop" in the section you quoted thus excluding artists such as…

WRT ignored, in the public eye, definitely not, however, you nor I know what's going on in her personal life. Hell, my wife would argue that "angry, ignored and tired" are all things she felt after becoming a mother (whether this was real or only perceived, she felt it… hormones can really fuck with a woman's head).

I'm not sure how you can say that given the reaction to the video for "Formation." She was pretty far from "demanding accountability" yet she was characterized as "upset, aggressive and angry."

Where?
