Yeah, the way ‘Stop it!’ changed meaning from a classic sitcom rebuke to Mrs. Hart begging Wanda - definitely a series-elevating moment.

The sweet, immature man-children of Pineapple Express and Funny People became the more responsible (but no less funny) husbands and fathers of Neighbors and The Night Before.
One of the weird things about Rogen’s first few roles - in Donnie Darko and Freaks and Geeks - is that he got cast as kind of a menacing dickbag. I guess he’s physically imposing and had a strikingly deep voice for a teenager? About two-thirds of the way through Freaks and Geeks it seems like they realized how sweet…
Having known many, many conservatives I can assure that “Hey, it worked for me!” is their favorite defense of exploitative, inequitable systems.
His excessive plastic surgery sure lends his face to breakup Cameo.
Rogen’s an attractive man. Like, even on-screen I was like, “yeah, they look good together.”
I like this movie a lot. It’s not perfect. The messy “I’m a Republican” thing at the end was silly, and I thought it was ultimately unnecessary. I’m sorry, I’m not ready to be all “let’s be friends” with the folks who’ve been actively burning our country and planet to the ground right now, okay? It was a way to give…
By far, the biggest suspension of disbelief for me was that it was a surprise reveal that O’Shea Jackson’s character, who at one point encourages Rogen to pull himself up by his bootstraps and works in (owns?) some nebulous financial services company, is a closet Republican. It also felt like a cop-out that the whole…
If I’m hiring Cameo celeb to do my break-ups, firings, legal emancipations from parents, etc; it’s gonna be Gilbert Gottfried.
Floki’s awkward giggle at the end is one final reminder that we can have characters on this show that aren’t boring as fuck.
This film (or at least the marketing for it) leaned very heavily on the audience’s preexisting impression of Rogen from films like 40 Year Old Virgin to sell the whole “Beauty and the Beast” comedy angle.
I ran into this similarly recently. A former colleague who I know was “let go” for inviting a minor student to come talk to him where he then dropped his pants in front of her* is now running for city council type position in the new city he moved to. Super lefty, super progressive, such an organizer! But. . . also a…
i mean, guys, lone ranger is almost 10 years ago he’s come a long way and has done a lot of interesting stuff, including becoming sexually aroused thinking about eating women!
Hammer isn’t without talent, but I often find myself asking, “Why cast Hammer when Chris Hemsworth is sitting right there?” I would’ve found Lone Ranger 10x better with Hemsworth’s charm and presence in place of Hammer’s grating style. (I still like a lot about LR, especially the climax)
Kind of trend of that time in film. Remember John Carter, the movie with a protagonist who was wrecked by all the trauma he’d seen, but also had a cartoon dog critter that could run really fast? You know the one with the first trailer set to “My Body is a Cage”, but is actually about a post civil war era soldier going…
Throw all of that away and try again, please.
I often feel terrible for the way the internet treated this very genuine and delightful theatre girl a few years back.
I think that pretending Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing is letting him off the hook WAY too easily. He may not know why the morons respond to the things he says and does, but when they do, he just doubles and triples down on it. He might not have been expecting the idiots to storm the Capitol, but he wanted them to…
The Pompeo tweet Huckabee was responding to gives away the game, because Twitter is banning violent accounts, not making new ones. So when you show me their accounts losing followers while prominent Democrats gain, that’s not just or even mainly the mean Big Tech companies “silencing” Huckabee and Pompeo’s followers,…
It’s a free market, dummy. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and earn those followers back with good old-fashioned hard work!
