With a few tweaks, this could be her first token "comedy actor does a decent, but forgettable, dramedy to see if they can handle more serious roles" movie. Imagine this with the same setup, same title, but the tone is melancholic and the soundtrack is loaded with indie artists you've never heard of. Echoes of Young…

LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie, but it's so weird that it got a rebranded/Oscar-buzz-attempt rerelease about seven months after it initially came out. Yes, it's nice to see a major studio realize they fucked up the handling of a gem, and even nicer that they attempted to correct it. But it was never going to win Oscars,…

Don't remind me. There are people out there who have watched all 21 debates. There have been 21 debates. There are STILL MORE COMING.

I get that, but even then…. I mean, he's been on the campaign trail for almost a year now. He gets at least an hour-long episode a day worth of material. Is there ANY reality show that you've watched, or can imagine watching, that would sustain interest for 350-something episodes? Because that's basically where we're…

I'm intrigued by the people who are endlessly amused by stuff like this. We have five jokes about the guy that we tell over and over and over, and we can predict exactly which incendiary thing he'll say on any given topic, or where a tweet that directly contradicts something he's saying now is on his timeline. Aren't…

I mean, Dylan Baker turned into Ciaran Hinds in Life During Wartime. Todd's not exactly concerned with strict continuity.

Full agreement. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't gotten more play on TV/in thinkpieces this year, considering its central themes are more than a little apropos.

I'll never get rid of my DVD/Blu-ray collection, but I'll say that studios releasing those 4-packs has been a blessing for storage space. I've re-bought a few things in those packs just to get rid of some singles, along with box sets of franchise stuff. Plus, Blu cases are smaller than DVDs. My collection only fills…

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING.

COOL STORY BRO: I saw a romcom a couple months back that had a final montage set to The Luckiest, and I went from irritation that the movie had chosen such an on-the-nose song for its happy ending, to surprise that it had taken a movie so long to do it.

That one, thankfully, is preserved on the Best of Christopher Walken DVD, as is the equally weird one where the census taker determines he lives with his wife who's a bobcat.

It doesn't really count because the sketch didn't make it out of dress, but one of the other Kattan breaks I remember was in the Gus Chiggins sketch (the one where Will Ferrell plays an old prospector in Iraq).

Relevant exchange from one of his AMAs:

The 1998 comparison is apt, since all the trailers make it look like a TBS Saturday afternoon offering you mildly enjoy while recovering from a hangover.

It was a big red flag that a) the TV spots had a hashtag, b) the movie had a terrible tagline (not every conspiracy is a theory… what the fuck ever), and c) the trailer was the whole movie in 2 minutes.

Hairspray is the last one that I would say is both a good movie and a movie he was good in. I dug the Pelham 123 remake in a Saturday-afternoon-on-TBS sort of way, but he was… less than convincing as the villain.

It's Things I Thought Were Hysterical When I Was High In My Friend's Apartment My Sophomore Year In College Day!

If it's anything like the 2014 Godzilla, I expect multiple scenes where King Kong is gearing up to fight, and then they cut to some boring family drama while the fight plays out on a TV in the background.

As stated above, Tusk would have worked as a 15-20 minute short inside of a horror anthology movie. It also would have worked it they had thrown out the walrus stuff entirely, and made a movie about insufferable podcasters, which is where the first couple scenes of the movie seemed to be going.

This is the make-or-break season for me, after the fairly weak season 3, and the knowledge that this show is renewed through season 7 and my resistance to outright loving it is because Weeds burned me so bad, and Weeds' decline started in season 4.
Thankfully, this looks solid.
