Even this comment is an inferior derivative work.

I mean, they expect us to exclude Danny Elfman, so anything is possible.

It *must* be satire - there’s a glaring error front-and-center in his username that ham-fistedly belies it.

Turn right, gets tight

He even does the laughing *for* you!

Exactly. He does either his ‘barking-thug’ or ‘clipped-voice’ thing, and both his trademark go-to moves of  ‘head-jerk-for-emphasis’ and ‘bugged-eyes’ were rendered outdated and condescending by Murphy *decades* ago. All this time knowing he couldn’t make it anywhere else, staying where it’s safe, bullying all the…

The thing is, *all* of those people are also a hell of a lot more talented than Kenan, too. Guy has always had 3 moves and zero range.

Yes; thanks for the demo.

So, that’s a classic Schneid-man “Youcandoeet!!” reference, no?

Sounds like you can maintain your Zenda-zen.

It’s a comedy he can be proud of - and it’s hard enough to pull off *one* successful sitcom institution. But I certainly wouldn’t say “consistently”. I mean, looking at it the way you did, as a ‘living history’: there was a reason that, in both the clips they used and the ‘witness’ callbacks to older seasons’…

“...conversation with the man in the cell across from his about the fold in his pants forming a “pants tent” is a fun little reference to Curb’s pilot episode.”

“...as opposing council suggests in court...”

“You can tell it’s the 1980s, because everything is scored to Animotion’s ‘Obsession’.”

Nope - your original point is still the more valid one. Every single example given above (save for Tombstone/Earp) was 2 or 3 films that had similar premises, themes or settings - and most of them were simply examples of elements that newly-emerging CGI enabled filmmakers to be able to visualize. I’ll *gladly* take a…

Carr writes a lot of dubious things, but she is correct on this account. While many, many filmmakers are writers, not all writers are filmmakers.   “Filmmaker”, as a term, only encompasses only those crew members, and even those producers (excepting the purely honorifficly-titled ones,) that are involved with fixing…

My personal favorite regular bringdown feature for Maher is that - no matter how “wise/pithy/deep” his big finish to New Rules makes him feel, he *has* to follow it up with “Hey folks, I’ll be at the Chuckle Hut in Yorba Linda and the Ha-Ha Room in Albuquerque next week...” It must drive him nuts.

Radiohead named themselves after a song on “True Stories”. So, Mesozoic.

Murray hated Eisenberg and Stupnitsky primarily because they were proteges of Harold Ramis, but also likely because (many find that) they are hacks. (They started out as Ramis’ pot-dealers/dog-walkers.)
