Stare-Out posted:Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the biggest offender when it comes to losing it during takes, but I honestly can't blame her. There are several episodes where you can tell she's been laughing or is struggling to keep it together. I believe she said that she actively disliked the character of Elaine, not so much that she hated playing the role (or the fat cash in the later seasons) just that if she knew an actual person like that she would despise her. e: favorite moments/episodes would be the one in the underground garage where they're perpetually trying to find the car and Jerry and Kramer (or was it George) end up getting hauled off by security for public urination and the one where Kramer and Jerry end up stuck in traffic in a beer truck. The story arc where George ends up accidentally killing his fiancee (big sighs of relief) with cheap envelopes was pretty dark, as well as exposing her father's gay affair with Norman Mailer. So much good stuff in that show. syscall girl fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Apr 22, 2010 |

Didn't George try to break up with Susan because Marisa Tomei liked short, stocky, bald* men. I was so desperately rooting for him. But I think I liked Kramer better, all in all, because I have this theory he was a total head. Could be wrong, but it fits. *I think George added this part

Okay, not trying to derail this great thread, but who else thinks Kramer was a toker. I'm not a advocate, per se, but I've smoked my share and his discombobulation and random asides point to weeeeeeed. Again, not saying he was, but it just seemed like so much of his behavior seemed indicative of cannabis use. Feel free to smack me down if you know from cannon that he wasn't. I've brought it up with friends both smokers and not, and their response is usually "meh, maybe, maybe not" but some of the things he does seem like things only your best stoner buddy would attempt (and predictably, fail at).

hall n oates mom posted:It didn't bother me at all. A lot of people bought into the ridiculous media frenzy (this was when tmz was still fledgling) and misconstrued the entire incident as a premeditated tirade against an entire race. In fact, he was going off on one guy and his friend who wouldn't shut their loud talking up during his comedy set. The serious approach he takes with performance not surprisingly lead to some intensely focused rage, but he was merely going off on that one guy as hard as he could. This is an interesting av/post combo.

Maarak posted:Watching the pilot episode right now and it really is strange. No Elaine, way more standup bits, off pacing, and everything feels like its been culled from his standup act. Better than most of the poo poo on TV these days still, but it feels very far away from the show at it's prime. Try reading Sein Language. The show was a collaborative effort. Take out some of the players and writers and it would suck hard.

neoboman posted:Love the 12-gauge. My favorite shotgun. Makes the 11-gauge look like a cap pistol. I'm not a gun guy, you can check to see how often I post in TFR (never) but seeing idiotic musicians, television characters, comedians or writers confuse the gauge system always peeves me. The larger the number, the smaller the diameter. Hence, an 11 gauge (if there is such a thing) would be larger than a 12 gauge. IIRC, electrical wiring works the same way. I'm not a physicist either, but I think it's been pointed out that "Of course, absolute zero!" was a little off-putting as well.

It absolutely is a real thing. However it's very hard to posit (as has been tried in this thread) what it could be an epiphanic answer to.

I dunno, the worst thing is the tip jar where you're trying to show the staff that you appreciate their service and the food... and they turn away as you tip them. I totally feel for George on that issue because it isn't altruism, all I want is a smile and some recognition as a valued customer and BAM, suddenly you get banned from the establishment.

stratdax posted:What does "equilibrium" mean in this context, and why does it mean that it totally drops the negative portion of the sentence? When the translation algorithm goes from one language to the next and back again, without the sentence in the first language having changed it has reached equilibrium. I have no idea how the translation program works nor do I know much Japanese. I think the idea of the site is just to have fun with languages being sort of incompatible. Like this scene from Newsradio.
