I know I should be excited, the show I once was really into (Season 1!) being filmed in my hometown and very much likely on the Babelsberg Studio lot, literally across the street from where I went to film school and all. But I ain't. It will be the same four or six outdoor shooting locations (Oranienstraße for busy…

Goddamn that show was brilliant. Completely underrated, to this day. Was really happy for Maggie Gyllenhaal scoring dat Golden Globe, though.

Ted Danson in Bored To Death. I would probably want to stab him to death after some odd two hours into working for him, though. I would totally settle for Tommy Chong at the Photo Hut. Bottom line, I'm unemployable due to my deeply ingrained habituous comsumption of recreational marihuana.

In his defense, he was loaded the whole time.

True, but I'd rather see someone genuinely funny getting grated down to bits by da machine than someone who never had any considerable sense of humor in the first place.

I'm sure someone else already mentioned it, but if Mulaney just said "Nah, fuck it, I'm going back doing SNL, just for one more year" instead of placing his bets with revolutionizing the three-camera-sitcom format, he would've ended up being the headwriter for SNL, effectively sparing us all from Colin Jost, who in…

Seeee his pug-nosed faaaaceeee…

I do remember the interview he did with The AV Club, talking extensively about how The Cosby Show is his favourite sitcom and influential on the tone he strived for in his own show and brabrabra. I doubt that this talk would go down like that today.
It must be pretty depressing to end up being caught up in such a…

Loved the episode, would have given a higher grade. I dunno, the parts others criticised didn't really bother me. I'm more than willing to forgive a weak b-plot if the rest delivers, and it did (for me, at least). The whole business about the Pentagon and the nonchalance with which the main plot progressed was funny…

It is at least very solid. I don't care much for the ending, but I also went in with realistic expectations about how that story could be resolved. The actors really elevated the material, but the way the story starts out, with the very carefully layered flashbacks - that was and still is absolutely brilliant. Talking…

And the elliptic storytelling didn't work for me at all. It really struck me only during the second viewing how the movie is just a disjointed assemblage of very loosely connected scenes. The sheer randomness with which Tarantino highlights events and how he works their size into the narrative economy of the movie as…

Thou must at least passingly mention his very tame kink, as is tradition.

Yeah, it strikes me as odd that such a piece of verbose machismo clearly cut out for his tastes strikes him as being so superflous. Not that he's necessarily wrong, it's just funny. The whole trope of two rugged alpha males not quite sypathetic to each other shooting the shit while driving around in a car.
Too close…

Interesting tidbit. As a writer, Tarantino has gotten evidently weaker in regards of structuring his stories, Inglorious Basterds being my prime offender in this regard. It's paced very oddly, to say the least, and serves as a better example of his weak craftsmanship than Jackie Brown, which also is very oddly paced…

The guy is clearly mentally disturbed, at least. I don't know and I really don't WANT to know how he spins his argumentative thread from throwing bananas at an african-american comedian to that being some kind of grand heroic gesture and Chapelle the only idiot who doesn't get 'it' because he doesn't publicly devours…

I do like my forced-by-demand wrestling reviews with a torrentous heap of self justification, thankyouverymuch!

The interesting thing about the Metroid franchise is its focus on isolation and exploration, which theoretically opens up interesting possibilities to be explored in an adaption. It's also quite popular in contemporary sci-fi films.
There's just so much potential to be gained by showing a routine bounty hunt go wrong,…

Revolution X came out either on the Sega Mega CD or the 32X, Psycho Circus afair PC-only, but I wouldn't rule out the odd Dreamcast or PS2 adaption.

I'm familiar with the character as long as I can think, but personality-wise, Mario is the blankest of slates there is. Even his vocabulary suggests, at best, severe developmental retardation. This might sound harsh, but think about it for a moment. The only way the character somehow makes sense supposes that you…

NEVAR FORGET: "Revolution X", the Aerosmith-as-a-force-of-widespread-revolutionary-unrest-vehicle, and "Psycho Circus", the KISS-branded first-person-shooter that played like the inside of a Juggalo's mind. It annoyed the fuck out of me.
