I like that you immediately justify your Supernatural placement. I could almost hear the entire internet suck in breath to “actually” you.
I thought it was a nice break from the relentless garment-sewing and grave-robbing similes.
It’s like that thing where a bunch of people are talking in a room and the din rises louder so the people talk louder and it just keeps increasing. Except, y’know, he’s the only one there. He talks over himself.
More than anything else, he always sounds to me like a 15-year-old who just bought his first Crass album and really wants to talk to you about society.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was pretty great, too. Even if a bit tame, comparatively. The 80's and 90's were a weird time for cross-generational marketing. Aliens, Predator, and Terminator were all weirdly adapted for kids into various mediums. Tons of toys. As a kid, you were expected to have seen these films…
Ah yes, the Windsors, setting progressive standards since 1901.
That’s fair. For me personally, though, after years of watching the same thing magnified on CNN with these insane eight-to-fifteen person panels of in and out of studio commentators literally screaming over each other like Uncut Gems, the little three-person discussions on Real Time don’t really bother me. I wish…
I am a comedian. I used to do a bit about how proud I was of my infant son’s penis. In reality, I was not proud. Further, my child had no penis. Further, I was and remain childless. I made the entire thing up to be ridiculous.
‘Wherever there is injustice, you will find him...
I love that he thinks that a version of his show that is entirely open panel discussion with all of the tired bits and bloviating monologues removed is somehow worse.
I hadn’t heard about the Short piece, so I had to look it up. What a weird article. It’s literally just a long editorial about how this one writer doesn’t think that Martin Short is funny. I’m not surprised that everyone leapt to his defense. It’s the most random hit piece I’ve ever read. But yeah, you make a good…
Not to mention doing Tony Hawk tricks mid-thwip.
Join the Crimson Fleet. You can either do it straight on or join the UC and go undercover. They buy everything.
Agreed. Hopper would’ve played it too arch. Harris was capable of delivering on the gentle creator side as well as the ferocious distempered god aspect. It’s a more delicate balance than it probably seemed before they started shooting. I can’t see Hopper selling those quiet moments of describing Truman’s childhood…
Sadly, the prevailing attitudes on Battle-Pugs have changed since the 80's. The Pugs, meanwhile, remain frustratingly noncommital about the entire endeavor. And all endeavors, really. Lead a Pug to war or take a Pug to the park, his enthusiasm remains impressively static either way.
The one for Titanic was pretty amazing, too. I’m sure it’s because Spielberg and Cameron both got personally involved in the process. It makes all the difference in the world.
Yeah, that is unambiguously disqualifying for this list. I’d have it at #1, but could see some putting it somewhere in the top five. To not have it on the list at all is gross negligence. It’s the funniest comedy of the last 20-25 years. By a mile.
Hi, Bob.
I saw Pig in a theater full of people like this. Most of the audience were laughing at places where it really wasn’t appropriate. They seemed to be reacting more to the film that they expected to see rather than the film that they were actually watching.
