What was the size of that fortune, Mr. Trump?

I shot the Sharif… but I did not shoot the Diwali…

Those were the two I saw!

That was also Pegg's character in Hot Fuzz. Not that it's the world's end you didn't mention that.

No, I get it now. I was thinking they'd all been made in a Kickstarter-like fashion, and that the first two had done well enough to warrant the third attempt. It still feels like the frequent invocations of KS in the article are negative — haha, losers had to go to KS — but that might just be me. Still got PTSD from

Did it? I thought they were all made independently or via KS. I guess I was thinking in terms of the whole series and not just this movie. Either way, they're bad and dumb no matter how they were made.

I get that that's probably the point being made, but at the same time, that discounts how movies get made in the Hollywood system. Tons of possibly worthwhile projects never get greenlit, or do and then never get made, so it seems like a studio not making these movies isn't really the point. Especially when some

Remember when they tried to make it a TV show, like, 10 years later? That was weird.

One thing I have to disagree with Rabin here is the idea that Kickstarter isn't part of the free market. This is disingenuous in regards to how movies are made. I totally buy that no Hollywood studio would touch this, and that most indies wouldn't either. So, the producers went directly to the people who would pay for

This damn burger took a bite out of me!

I still need to listen to that, but I want it to be special.

It probably stems from my thinking of Bono has an obnoxious asshat who is at worst harmless and at best doing good things for the world. Seems like there are better candidates to being human-shaped feces, if that's all the joke is. But, I digress! One episode out of 19 seasons is an unbeatable record.

I wasn't? The only episode of South Park I've never liked was the Bono one. The target was too easy and not at all worth their aim.

Yeah, the days of tight storytelling with a super powered Sidney Poitier and a Mecha-Streisand are long gone.

Also, why wouldn't Willis be into this, especially if the original reports are true that he's more or less an extended cameo? He's still going to get paid a shitload and he won't even have to do the heavy lifting. It's not personal, it's just business.

Ooh, so maybe he could introduce me to Gillian Jacobs?

It's A Good Idea to Die Hard.

I actually watched Other Space first and I'm the biggest Community fan I know.

This is never not applicable.

This happened to me several times, as well.
