I agree with Walrus Parade. Cera's impression of Ann eating a hard boiled egg eclipses most actor's entire bodies of work. However, Eisenberg has worked with Fred Durst.
Does anyone remember Topher Grace showing up on the Daily Show to promote Traffic but choosing to spend his entire interview time talking about Wild Wild West, which he caught on cable the night before?
I imagine the Gossip Girl Writer's Room challenges one another to come up with a ridiculous location for all the characters to magically meet up. Sotheby's must have won a bet.
I felt that funeral scene just let us know that while Clint's character is a mean old racist, his wife was so bad that her grandchildren don't even give a shit she's dead. Imagine what she was like, teetering around the house, trying to out-racist Clint. What I'm trying to say is, prequal please. It'll be about her car, CHEVY MALIBU.
I was one of many to nominate Gran Torino. In his mentions of the terrible acting of the Hmong characters, he failed to mention the atrocious priest character. Or the fact that the Hmong gang raped and beat THEIR OWN COUSIN. Not to mention the scene with the black kids on the street corner. How could you not mention that scene, Gabe? More than anything, this film presented an old racist man who never learns not to be racist. Should he have learned that? Probably not, but this film portrays him like he's a great guy, when i found him rather loathsome.
I like the sweater reveal. That callback to the original is there for the super fans, i.e. the people who love the original and have no interest in a remake. It's a taunt, really.
I enjoyed Don's chat with Sally's teacher, in which he acts incredulous at the idea of ever fooling around behind his wife's back. Be careful teacher lady, Donny D would fingerbang the shit out of you.
The pictures in the news report didn't look like him to me, but these "not fit for your mother" shots are definitely this guy, your mayor. Looks like he was having a great time. Isn't this what Rich at FourFour would call a "pretty party"?
Wait, when did people decide to start hating Undeclared? That show was hilarious and canceled after one season because it was too good for this world. Also, so Judd Apatow could make movies 3 years later.
I really love this movie and I also understand some of the criticisms thrown at it. I most appreciated the fact that in the end nothing is fixed, these people are still damaged, life goes on. However, the multicultural wedding bugged the shit out of my girlfriend.
My favorite King moment was when he asked Jerry Seinfeld if his show was canceled. Jerry responded by asking one of the interns to get Larry a copy of his resume.
"Ok, I'm going to say threatening things between swigs of this apple juice I put in a glass tumbler. Then, when I give you the signal, press play on the casio boombox. And make sure it's cued up on the right song, not Party In The USA. Which is great, don't get me wrong."
You Can Make It Up has quickly become one of my favorite features on Videogum. I can always count on one line to have me cracking up pretty hard ("kissed him on both cheeks") and one line that is just so over the top hilarious I can only feel a bit of awe ("Cities fell into oceans of fire").
Isn't his tone an admittance of defeat? Sitting alone on a stoop with only your stacks of fake money to keep you company? This is just :( stretched to four minutes.
