I think you might be jumping the gun on the argument that Steve Carell has abandoned comedy. He’s the lead in Space Force, a show that, critical response notwithstanding, is a pretty broad The Office-style comedy.

Ssssssssmoking hot. 

The whole series isn’t super well written but it was dropped on an American public that hadn’t read much of anything for at least 20 years so people friggen loved it. The best thing it had going for it was that it was easily digestible pop fantasy. Even the thickest books in the series can be read in an afternoon or…

As a straight I don’t get this either. I’m with you that if someone inflicted emotional abuse as a prank or, worse, some fucking “test”, I’d nope right out.

Most pranks are shitty and mean. I don’t like them.

We don’t have Severus Snape by Niles Chikkens, and to save time, I should mention we also don’t have Cadaveous Crepe by Dials Thickens, Average Ape by Fred “Wild Man” Wiggins or even A Sale of Two Titties by Bernest Bemmmmingwayq with 4 M’s and a silent Q!

“There Will Be Blood” was a special kind of world, and one that I hope he revisits.  His 1970's fetish isn’t really my bag.

Fargo Season Two has him being great and distinct. He doesn’t look distinct, but in the right role, the man is fantastic and memorable. 

At last, Disney is returning Star Wars to what made it great: meetings.

“How can we trust you, bounty hunter?”

“If you’ll turn to item 37 on the agenda, you will see that I intend to foster an open-door policy where all input is taken on board.”

THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BOBA FETTS

Annndddd... One again, AppleTV+ affirms that it’s “Dad TV”, buying another Tom Hanks slow-moving “action” film that’s really a character piece with a few mild action scenes.

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see where things go from here — just a passing look at what happened a decade ago.

What a dick response by Farah. Ya, those people with surfboards on the roofs are patrons of the businesses there. All businesses have No Loitering law signs posted, don't clog up someone's private property and feel entitled to it.

I think Shaun is a better parody of a scary movie, but Scream is a better actual scary movie.

Given the rest of your post, I am not going to recommend Cougar Town to you, because it’s a fun low-stakes hangout comedy from Bill Lawrence (the man behind Spin City, Scrubs and Ted Lasso) and if you want to call that “mediocrity,” that’s your prerogative. But even Abed from Community liked it, and he knew a thing or…

Meta-Matt LeBlanc from Episodes was almost as much fun as meta-James Van Der Beek from Don’t Trust the Bitch In Apt. 23, in my book. The former ran longer (it had the advantage of being on Showtime) and the latter was less grounded in reality, but both actors took the opportunity to play heightened versions of…

Your loss. Despite the title Cougar Town is a fantastic hangout comedy.

led to some smirky skepticism about “mix-and-match” medications. It’s not a shitty joke because it’s lazy, it’s a shitty (and irresponsible) joke because it’s based on a hacky premise.

I am EVEN more annoyed by the order of this topsy turvy list than I expected. But agreed: It’s 10 extremely good movies.

Drop the “face.” Just “Book.” It’s cleaner.

I dunno, man. I am so inspired by Mel’s creative and comedy genius. But he’s such a product of his time. Obviously he prefers working to retirement so all the more power to him, but I wish he didn’t feel the need to keep gilding the lily (see: Spaceballs: The Animated Series).
