I don't know why you'd go into Silver Linings Playbook expecting it to be funny, given the subject matter and the director. It's a romantic comedy in the very loosest of terms. 

That thing with Homeland?

I don't get it though, there are countless directors who would love to work with a talent like DeNiro, if he's willing to really commit to a role. Who does he have to blame other than himself?

In addition to Peter Parker's fucked up line at the end of the movie. Peter's teacher says, "Don't make promises you can't keep", and Peter whispers to Gwen, "But those are the best kind."

It takes a lot for me to actually audibly say something to my television set, because I detest people who talk to TV shows as if the characters can hear them.

@avclub-c5fe25896e49ddfe996db7508cf00534:disqus They're never too clear as to how famous he is, but I think that fits in line with Louie himself. To me, he's a huge celebrity.
