patrick stewart was there in the writer's room, helping to make sure it was trash



Patrick Stewart: And I do other stuff, like I go to the World Cup final, and it's Germany versus England, and I wish that I were playing, and suddenly I am, and I score the winning goal, and they carry me into the dressing room and there's Roony and Beckham and then Posh Spice walks in and...

Michael Chabon: ...her clothes fall off?

Patrick Stewart: Instantly.

Lol, Ricky Gervais sucks but this scene in Extras is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, Patrick Stewart delivers it perfectly.

Main character of that is stealing a voice from a cohost's weird joke in a goon lp of majora mask? Talk about a deep cut

~11:00 is the first i could find of that voice when skipping around, but it's apparently seared into my brain forever. If you're in the mood for something dumb to watch while unsober the playlist is at https://lparchive.org/Legend-of-Zelda-Majoras-Mask-3-Days-Challenge/

New Nerd Crew when??

This is from couple of pages ago but basically never because:

-They literally(*) killed Jedi Council / Collider which is lmao

-Covid was the proverbial killing blow to the fandom craze which started to go downhill after GoT disaster / Endgame / The Last Jedi (thank you for your service, Riann :patriot:) so there was not much material to work anyway.

I think Nerd Crew wrapped up nicely with absolute god tier episodes (the Nerd Crate episode is an absolute banger, minute on minute) and hilarious moments plus the GOAT "Rich Evans watches the most embarrassing podcast" short.

you'd think the lightsaber engineering arms race would quickly evolve into someone building one that's like 30 feet long that could easily demolish anyone but i guess nobody ever thought of that and having different colors was more important

There's the tech to make tiny ones so making a colossal one should be easy.

But I guarantee you there's some dork rear end book where one of the two tentacle hair ladies (it's always them because nerds are pathetic and horny) had a 70' lightsaber but it drew too many tachyon midichlorians and exploded.

Remember the pandemic? social distancing? haha, the good ol days, right before the war

Is Judd Apatow one of those guys who likes to improvise scenes and dialogue in his movies? This feels like it was half improvised. It's alright, but I miss the days of smart dialogue, planned gags, and sophisticated comedy, such as Hot Shots part Deux

The cast is a bunch of good comedians and some name actors, I like basically everyone here (except the lady from Ghostbusters 2016, but she's still good). Peter Serafinowicz, Pedro Pascal, Key from Key and Peele, Fred Armisen. Honestly it feels like it should be a way better movie with this cast.

So yeah, it's a Judd Apatow movie, so it's the closest thing to "Comedy" we get in this forsaken age. To be honest it wasn't that bad. I enjoyed the continuing gag with the production crew basically hating the actors, seems based in reality. I remember chuckling at some points but drat if I can remember the quotes.

Anyway, I award this 2.5 Comfys, and a full extra mark for a random Maria Bamford cameo

It's already hopelessly outdated, plus it has my pet peeve of comedy movies relying on tons of cgi for no good reason.

The High Republic is the Old Republic but it's not so far in the past that all locations and characters are unrecognizable, and they're fighting bad guys that aren't sith (at least until the tv show starts)

In the old expanded universe, there was a guy with a custom lightsaber that had a button on it that could make the blade suddenly shoot out twice as long as normal. So like you're fighting and you get it up under the other guy's neck and he's pushing back hard and it's all dramatic and poo poo, and then you're just like ZOOP and it goes straight through the top of his head.

I feel like there are a lot of variations on this concept that would all work in a fight at least once
