TrixRabbi posted:So, my girlfriend made me watch Bee Movie last night. And her only explanation for why we were watching it was "I had to watch it so so do you." And, what an absolutely nightmarish terrifying movie. If you have archives I recommend trying to find the Bee movie thread, it's a hoot and a half.

Timby posted:I'm not necessarily sure about that. Seinfeld's apartment in the show was relatively huge, and he bought his parents a Cadillac with cash, so he was clearly well-to-do and successful. Were there any famous people you remember being particularly nice? Also was Seinfeld at least a good tipper? because there's a bunch of bits in his Comedians in Cars show that are obviously meant to imply that.

CiCGC cracks me up because it's a heavily edited 14 minute show or whatever and it's crystal clear in every episode that Jerry Seinfeld is a gargantuan rear end in a top hat. I sense that perhaps he doesn't care if that's how he come off however. And I know this isn't a particularly original take but Larry David was responsible for 94% of Seinfeld's quality right?

I remember the bit in the episode with Obama where Obama laments the loss of anonymity that comes with fame and no longer being able to enjoy simple pleasures like sitting on a bench in the park, and Seinfeld's response was just "not being famous sucked, why would you want to sit on a park bench?"

His relationship with Larry David makes sense in that David directs all neuroticism inward and so produces great comedy, whereas Seinfeld projects his insecurities outward and is therefore a boring prick.

That's why you can very visibly see the tonal change in Seinfeld (the show) when David left and Seinfeld essentially assumed control.

So I compartmentalized this for a bit, but I was literally four blocks away from my old house last night (buses get weird on Sundays and even weirder when it's the day of Ironman Wisconsin, so I had to go that far to get to a grocery store). It took every fiber of my mind, body and soul not to go ring the doorbell and hug my dog. I knew better, because I knew a fight with my ex would just lead to another mental health crisis, so I didn't. But, God drat, I wanted to just hug my Iris.

I know things have sucked hard but as far as I'm concerned if she's taking that dog from you for good then you don't owe her a penny back.

Chuck Dixon, who created Bane and has subsequently spent the past five years griping about how he can't get work in comics because of his conservative beliefs (despite having had consistent high-profile work in comics for about 20 years before that), later claimed that Bane was based on Occupy, despite having created him in 1991 or so.

One time when I was working at a theater in 2012 a guy came to the box office window in the middle of the day and asked to speak to the program manager. My coworker called up and they were in a meeting and they asked for the guy's name, he said Paul Anderson. They told him to call ahead and make an appointment cause they were busy so the guy so okay and walked away. Took a few minutes for anyone to realize it was Paul Thomas Anderson and our program manager came barrelling down the stairs but he was already gone. Turns out he went to the comic book shop. He had wanted to talk about showing The Master in 70mm (which did end up happening and we were the only theater in Boston to have it).

Honestly I'd unironically want to meet Paul WS. He's not someone I'd put in the GOAT list, but he consistently makes really entertaining schlock, and every peek I've gotten into the dude's brain makes him seem like he'd be fun as hell to hang out with. e: poo poo, I'd owe him a hug just for making Mortal Kombat, that movie is a bizarrely big chunk of my childhood.

I think him, Paul Thomas Anderson and Wes Anderson should have a cage match to the death. Either that or do an anthology film where they all do their interpretation on the same story or concept.

His films at least look decent for the most part. I remember watching the first two Resident Evil movies and it was like going from a slick, albeit still on the lower end production to what looked like a drat Syfi original.
