I agree. I enjoy watching people I find funny and entertaining be funny and entertaining. I mean, God drat, you have John Kraskinki in a gold dress performing "Proud Mary". That's really all I need.

This is actually really offensive, it's a baseless stereotype that drag queens are incapable of singing and can only mouth words to songs.

At first I was going to make a snide remark, but then I suddenly imagined a world-wide secret shadowy lip synching cabal that is secretly planning to take over the world and was very entertained.

back in the '80s there was some lip-synching show that came on before SNL, I don't remember if it was on NBC or what but my brother and I would watch it while waiting for SNL. I only really remember it because they did some kind of tourney at the end of the season and would bring back previous winners in a show down. The guy who would always win did some kind of robot thing where he'd pretend to be an animatronic military guy, I don't even remember what song he did. I just remember his creepy looking robot dance. Anyway that was the last time I gave a poo poo about lip-synching otherwise I'm pretty much in agreement with Irish Joe.

Celebrity lip-syncing sounds like the punchline in a joke a bout terrible TV. "My girlfriend is always watching (some lovely show) but at least it's not celebrity lip syncing."

I mean, that did seem to be the takeaway from that episode, which was quite strange that it never really came up again.

It hit a little close to home for me, 'cause I am always trying not to be the sneering aloof guy who would be like "Don't sing."

No.

Its time to just accept that everybody involved with Community is sick of Community. Maybe in ten years when Chevy is long dead and Donald Glover is eating out of garbage cans, but not this year, and not for awhile.

About a month ago at Comic-Con Dan said that he wanted to "let the actors enjoy their careers, branch out a bit, and then when things get serious with the film [we] can all come together and make a great film". WHEN that happens could take a good while, though.

Also,

Variety posted:

A rep for Sony, which produces the comedy, said “Community” has yet to be officially canceled. A spokesperson for Yahoo! Screen also did not confirm that it has been canceled.

“We’ve seen tremendous value in our partnership with Sony and are continuing to discuss future opportunities for Community,” Yahoo said in a statement.

I'd still bank on one last hurrah in film form because Yahoo will surely toss a ton of money at everyone to make sure it happens, but after that it's clear the show is over.

Wet Hot American Summer is proof that crazier things have happened than a Community reunion movie a few years from now, but I really hope they don't rush it and try to force something with half the cast before there's even any reason to feel nostalgia for the show. Either do it right or not at all.

It's not like they've had the full cast together for quite a while anyway, so I don't know why you think everyone's any more available now than they will be later. Community had a satisfying ending, so there's no rush to put out a reunion to tie up loose ends or anything. If they can get the cast together (including Donald Glover since a movie without him would be bullshit) one last time after people have had a chance to miss the show a bit, great. If not, it's really not the end of the world.

gently caress, everyone related to this show is bad at communicating with each other. Yahoo spoke out against what Joel said and stated their in negotiations. Community manages to get cancelled every season but will apparently resuscitate equally as much.

If anything, that's a negotiation tactic on that part of Joel and the cast. If Yahoo really wants a season 7, they are going to have to pay up. I honestly think the biggest hurdle would be getting Dan Harmon to write it.

If there is a movie, I'll lay decent odds it'll be a timeskip of a few years, everyone's moved on a bit, and it's in part about Abed having pitched the concept of Community as a sitcom. (remember, Dan Harmon was inspired by his own college study group, so I feel like that level of meta circle would please him)

Ron Howard is interested.
