Here's hoping he and Bill Murray were able to salvage their friendship after all. RIP.

Can't speak for Dowd but my interpretation of "fwp" is upper middle class and well-off people either complaining about nonsense (ex: the tragedy of your iPhone not working) or making a relatively benign occurrence (ex: a non-messy divorce btwn financially comfortable people) into this life-altering catastrophe.

Re: "first world problems"

Funny, my first reaction was "acting career not going that well, eh Andy?"
As for The Roots, supposedly the band felt it had hit a wall in terms of advancing to the next level in their career and took the Fallon gig as step towards larger exposure and financial security.

Can someone enlighten me as to what the gameplan is? On the one hand, I read Fallon simply wants to do Late Night in an earlier timeslot. (Bringing back The Tonight Show to NYC while keeping his sidekick, band and sensibility certainly points in that direction.) Meanwhile, I'm wondering if NBC would let him monkey…

See, now, these girls I can get with.

Yes, indeed.

Dunno about 'need' but, yeah, sure.

Absolutely. Every time Belfort starts to explain a scam he cuts himself off 'cause it's all a means to an end. Henry Hill loved being a wiseguy; Ace Rothstein loved gambling; Belfort just wanted to be rich.

Temptation slays folks of all creeds, ethnicities, and nationalities when there's that much money to be made in such a relatively easy manner.

"Head Over Heels" was, arguably, their best single.

"Our Lips Are Sealed" is a hands-down, stone cold classic.

Congratulations, Odd Future: white supremacist leaders, Holocaust deniers and you.

Always thought of her as the woman who other women erroneously think men are attracted to. Like they'd be raving about how stylish and attractive she was, meanwhile straight dudes don't even know who she is.

I'm more partial to a rematch btwn Sir Mix-a-Lot and Mudhoney, but yeah…

There are reports of the dude not only looking the part but actually being that douchey.

"Sad But True" is heavier than the entire Motley Crüe catalog, plus Winger's. (And I like the Crüe.)

"For cryin' out loud, Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood was heavier than
anything on the Black Album. Fucking Winger made Metallica look like
pussy amateurs. WINGER."

Well put, KC.

Lots of funny comments here, but with all seriousness, will Franco attempt his own version of Ed Wood or will this be another Apatow-approved, cringe comedy take on a subject that doesn't need any more irony thrown its way?
