I was typing out this response below, when it occurred to me that the difference I’m seeing might have more to do with Owen Wilson’s departure as a co-writer and Wes moving on to work with others. In short, I don’t really think it’s at all like what you were describing with Stiller, and I was just eager to talk about…

Sorry to pop in but the mention of Wes is interesting because his movies have always had the pathos of much older directors and writers lurking in his inspirations. I kind of feel like starting with Darjeeling Limited, then Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonlight Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel are him moving toward wanting…

He’s played variations of that character. I can only think of the orderly in Happy Gilmore, but it seemed like there was more. His Mystery Men character was like a hyper version of it, going from meek to rage.

The weight thing would be really twisted because of Zoolander. If you’ve seen it, you know which scene I’m talking about. That scene has always bothered me and this would put it into Huxtable’s Secret Ingredient BBQ Sauce territory. I thought I had heard some time ago that Stiller/Taylor swung in the same circles as…

Right on! Thanks for the dialogue. Things are so bad with the system that it’s good when people on the same side can keep it together, like you had done. You also have an awesome screen name. I’d love to see that as a sketch comedy character.

orry man, I hacked together a bad joke by trying to parrot a “Who’s on First?” styled account - as a comparison to what it’s like watching you try to get what should have been a couple line answer, when all you were getting was plays on the same word. It was like you were asking a straight forward question and people…

Seriously, what’s not to understand? Judge Hu was working the defendant and the assault charge only happened because of Judge Johnson, who only stepped in because being the local mafia don meant he had to protect his stake in the store that he providing protection for. So really the assault charge was more about…

I liked everything about this story until I saw the video. Then I kind of felt embarrassed for all of the people taking sides and not noticing that this is obviously a transport shuttle for people with special needs. Has anyone here actually been on a city bus? I mean, come on, there was an aftermarket in dash stereo…

I feel like it was a transport bus for people with disabilities. I’ve worked for people that had to use these and the front of this bus looks more like a van. The way there is handicapped handrailing all over the place. You can also get a sense of rapport with all the passengers, as if they know each other. The driver…

Or something, right? I’m not sure, but this seems like a medical/person of needs type of transport service. The tone of the other riders seems like there is a rapport with one another. Her eye getting slapped out seems more like everyone knows about her glass eye because she talks about it every day. Everyone was…

I think we are on the same wavelength. His comments about Islam really make it hard for me to try and give him credit. He reminds me of hearing a Christian talking about their kids being at danger of suicide by heavy metal. I think the thing we don’t like is his elitism. He sometimes goes too far and it seems like he’s…

I’d like to know more details of what happened. I get the sense that wasn’t his house he crashed in front of. It looks like some kind of road rage involving White Spy that was going the other direction. If you notice, Black Spy exits frame right and is taking up the whole road, maybe even on the wrong side. Then when…

I’m not defending Maher, but I think even he is a step above this. He embraces and accepts his consequences. Of course he refers to being kicked off CBS but never does he seem to claim being victimized. He says he doesn’t like the sensitivity that led to his being kicked off but he always has come off pretty logical…

I like this but it’s essentially an idea I find myself, every so often, wondering why it’s not a thing already. There’s some teenagers who opened a video game store next to my place. They run tournaments and have events, so there is a social aspect there. I’ve watched them start up, even being there day one to give…

The problem lies not in their logic but in the catch.

So yeah if fighter pilots possess any logic (which they do) they don’t like to make unnecessary trips.

He’s just joking, Norman. Don’t pay any attention to him, no one is going to eat you.

During the ceremony, I took a guess that she had put her hands on backwards that night.

Agreed. I thought Zootopia did both topical themes and movie references really well. Those are two things I usually struggle with in a movie — referential bits more than the topical stuff — but the buddy cop/action movie formula gave it enough on the surface that it worked in every respect. I also thought the design…

My girlfriend’s college roommate had a kid sister, maybe a freshman in high school, who came to the dorm while I was visiting. She was there for maybe a couple minutes before leaving with the roommate. I later learned that as they left, she started “awe”ing about me and eventually brought up that I have no legs. It so…
