…..did you think I meant I'm literally glued to my couch with Adult Swim on, stewing in my own excrement, staring lifelessly at the screen until it comes back? I have no choice but to just wait until it happens.

I was in exile when Rickrolling first became a thing so i thankfully missed it and was otherwise only passingly familiar with the song but somehow I immediately knew this was a Rickroll.

In many cases you'd be right but R&M is being held up because Dan Harmon is a mentally ill individual who sabotages his own progress and now he's in a position where he has enough leverage that the network isn't going to fire him, so he gets to tinker and toy with it and play out the awful effects of his crippling…

Rarely does any comedy nail it in the field episode. Watch anything from the back half of season one or anything from season 2. It's like Futurama written by Bukowski.

Ad dollars sold for Adult Swim, the cable station who is presumably in this for profit and funds the relatively expensive animation of R&M: also zero.

Check out the Bukowski episode of a podcast called These Things Matter with my pal Mishka Shubaly for discussion on that very matter. I enjoyed it. I think there's always going to be an allure for a hedonist writer rhapsodizing about debauchery.

Up until the sale I'd have said no way Punk ever fights in UFC again but allegedly the new owners are interested in booking him again just because the last one sold tons of ppvs. They'll find out quick that once the curiosity factor is gone he won't sell half as many. Even if they booked him against Frank and had the…

The problem was, Rogan didn't leave after saying he would. But the way things are going I can't see the new owners letting him be as outspoken as he is, and he certainly isn't gonna censor himself, so he'll end up out sooner or later.

When I "nearly joined the Army", I talked to recruiters, went over all the MOS brochures, and then when it came time to go to MEPS I got high the night before and since I couldn't piss clean anyway i just bailed on it.

And Brian Halloran apparently ain't doing dick with his life since he periodically shows up on Comic Book Men just to sit behind the counter at the Stash and hang out. Whereas even before the contract squabbling, Anderson has been really iffy about being Randal forever.

Other people downthread went into more detail, apparently this was confirmed. Plus there was a money issue from Clerks 2.

Mallrats kinda got shot in the foot once he decided he wanted to make it a series, because obviously there would be swearing and filth, and that limited it to Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Amazon, Starz etc and none of them wanted it.

At one point Kev said he briefly talked to Affleck's people and got a tentative yes on Affleck doing an episode of Fatman on Batman, but it never happened. After using some of the same actors from Red State in Argo, I think Affleck is really skittish about being tied to Kevin.

Ah, I never knew that was confirmed, i just suspected it.

I'd shit bricks if Kevin Smith cast Adam the Woo in a movie.

He said one of the principal cast of Clerks said they didn't want to do the sequel. I bet it's Jeff Anderson. Anyone else can be worked around but you need Randle in there, and he's the one who's waffled over the years on whether to continue playing Randle.

The set pieces suck and the plot is a little hoary but there's some real funny dialogue.

I know it's a small thing in the grand scheme of his great career but The Simpsons should really bring Waters back one more time.

I had assumed this was an American remake of the show about the young people living in an abandoned hospital but this sounds much worse.

Not at all what i was saying. Of course there's variant quality between the two, but on the surface there's no place to call PewDiePie (or whomever, I don't watch these shows) ridiculous and not acknowledge that all of Earwolf was built on ridiculousness.
