The Gang Invaded My Dreams

On a Monday, 12:30AM

I hadn't checked out any of the podcasts, but after seeing some funny clips I rewatched a couple of episodes and the accompanying podcasts. I guess that was too much Sunny (impossible!) because I had a very vivid dream.

The gang came to my hometown to promote a feature film, which was basically five storylines woven together. Sadly, I can't remember most of it but I do remember that after the film, I got the chance to meet them and we all went to a restaurant that Rob was opening. After that, we went to some kind of fundamental church (or it might have been Santeria / Voodoo) and the priest was sacrificing a chicken. Kaitlin was yelling "Don't kill the chicken!!" and Glenn yelled "Kill the drat chicken!!". Danny fired his gun into the ceiling. Charlie and Rob weren't around at that point but later showed up back at the restaurant where we ate... you guessed it... chicken.

When I woke up I was very sad that it was all a dream and I am not, in fact, real life friends with The Gang.

My wife (whose name is Sunny, by the way :v: )said she heard me laughing in my sleep and said I did utter the word "chicken".

Anyway, that's my It's Always Sunny In My Dreams story.

The podcast, like the show, is excellent so I think I'll start watching it regularly after each episode.

Glenn was pretty good in BlackBerry. The kind of character he played was definitely already in his wheelhouse, but hopefully it leads to other good roles for him because he's a solid actor.

Did anyone watch Charlie's movie? I guess it flopped pretty badly :ohdear:

It was panned heavily in this thread. I thought it was just goons being goons, but it really is bad. I saw it on Hulu or something and decided to check it out. It wasn't funny and I laughed one time because someone did something stupid with a can I think. It was just a massive waste of time. I bet it was really fun to make it and goof around, but it did not make a good movie.

That's a shame. On the podcast he seems really thoughtful about the show's comedic sensibilities and what works and what doesn't. I was hoping he'd be able to deliver with his own directorial film debut.

it does sound like the production ran into some problems because of covid, and then after they finished shooting everything, Charlie talked to Guillermo del Toro about some of his anxieites about the movie who gave him some advice that led to him writing 27 more pages of script and doing a week of reshoots. so hey maybe a second Charlie Day movie that doesn't have a really messy development cycle will be really cool!

imagine how bad that movie was before the rewrite though jeez

Blackberry was great.

Fools Paradise was terrible. Not only was it mostly unfunny.....but it was so disjointed that I have trouble understanding how it got released like that.

I think it was released like that because the studio was tired of waiting and decided it wasn't going to get any better. I wonder what the movie was like before the reshoots. Maybe it was more coherent but said even less?

Possible that it was doomed from the moment it had been written.

It's worst problem honestly was him just hiring his buddies for every part in the movie and they're all phoning it in. Charlie is fully committed to the bit, but everyone else is at a 25% energy level and I dont think really had any idea why they were there. Glenn and Ken Jeong were the only guys who seemed like they got what the movie was going for and did something, but it never fully gels into something coherent. It's a shame too because Charlie is striving for a very broad and funny idea and it shines through when its just him on the screen or with people who get it, but otherwise really flat and rough. I hope he doesnt quit trying to direct, but I think he needs a better team around him to support it much more clearly and playing to his strengths.

Yeah it’s strange. Charlie’s best comedy comes from his delivery. Not to say he’s never done any good physical work but it’s heightened by his voice. So playing a Chaplin sendup is just a strange choice from go.

If he wants to continue to direct, he will. I don't think Fools Paradise reflects too much on his ability. It was just a weird route to go right from beginning. I mean.....there's a reason why these types of comedies aren't made anymore.

still needs a budget tho

so depends on how much hes put aside and how well liked he is. probably hes a nice guy irl, he got a lot of people to show up anyway? so who knows

Guess I was being too vague. If he wants to continue to direct....I think he'll be awarded more opportunities due to his heavy involvement in Always Sunny. But he'll probably have to pull back and do something more conventional/mainstream.

Z telling Ben about the importance of taking your jean shorts off every now and then is amazing, especially because Ben really seems to be taking it onboard and giving the advice the respect it deserves.

My favorite one off joke from a no one character is when they're going into some guy's apartment, D is pregnant, and the dude watching the door looks her up and down and says "you pregnant" then just let's her go.

Wait I just looked it up and that was Z too!

i watch new episodes just because and i'll probably always find something endearing about whatever the gang puts out, but if i ever go to put on a random episode while doing the dishes or whatever, it's always gonna be from like season 7 or 8 or something and never season 14 or whatever they're up to
