eastbound & down/danny mcbride

yeah watching Observe And Report recently i realized that Jody Hill is basically from the Wes Anderson school of "check out this sweet montage set to a gem from my record collection every 15 minutes"

that was maybe my no.1 beef with observe and report - aside from it being unfunny - it was just a nonstop barrage of musical montages. by the end of the movie i was practically seething whenever the next montage started... its so fuckin narcissistic cuz hes just showing off his gd ipod, not trying to entertain us

Some blog put together a soundtrack for season one a while back, think it's gone now though. Was surprised to find out that the sad organ music that plays throughout is a Tindersticks track, assumed it was an original.

"Take the computers out of your ears!"

Always find myself rewatching this show with everyone I know who hasn't seen it

Like, 4 times already--and I was pretty late getting into it myself

2nd season better than first btw

Went through it in a couple days and now I miss Kenny Fucking Powers =(

2nd season better than first btw

no it isn't fyi

I thought they were about even. More LOLs in the first but I like Mexico more than rural NC

Wasn't so into Don Johnson for some reason.

any scene where kfp isn't the big asshole is a problem

rural suburban

biggest

I missed Will Ferrell, surely the greatest comedian of our era

screen comedian, at least. Chapelle standup might win out for pure LOL

season 2 severely handicapped by lack of Clegg

"Oh yeah Kenny Powers does have famous hair doesnt he?"

just an average man, with exceptional hair. nothing more, and nothing less.

haaaaaa

:D

He's not wrong either.

I'm the man who has the ball, the man who can throw it faster than fuck.

Fist Foot Way is kinda disappointing. I wanted more lols!!

I think I wanna watch both seasons again

Foot Fist Way is fucking horrible.

finally watching s2, not sure why i waited so long, but this shit is amazing

i just have to note two things i love about this show:

1. amazing use of music.
2. when the go to a freeze frame and the big yellow letters zoom in:
EAST
BOUND
&DOWN
it's pretty badass

Other than the midget's jokes ("I'll rip your fake mustache off!" "HA HA I always bring a spare!") my wife and I haven't found much to laugh in Season 2. Don Johnson appearance doesn't leave me particularly hopeful for that changing.

when they're riding the ATVs around in slow motion and this song is playing and it cuts to their faces in time to the music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YG2SgGTrz4
yes!

s2 petered out a little at the end as it got a little too heartwarming/nice but i still really enjoyed it.

ha id say the opposite, last ep (or two eps? can't remember which one had matthew mcconoughay (sp)) rly picked up imo

Yeah, i think the Don Johnson appearance was the nadir. As soon as they mentioned Kenny's father i knew there would be a wacky cameo of some sort

But yes, the freeze frame title sequences are the best

season 2 definitely a step down from 1, but still p great

"tha's racism, man... i love to racism, bro!"

tonights the night

saw a plane flying around with a big banner of mcbrides head on it

it feels so good having kenny back

Pretty sit-com-y, but a promising set-up for the season nonetheless.

Loved the exchange:
April: "Who do you think he looks more like? You or me?"
Kenny: "He looks like the fuckin' guy from The Shield. Chiklits."

I haven't been to Myrtle Beach in several years, but that's 100% how I remember it.

Also, this show has the best music of any TV show ever. JJ Cale, Lee Hazlewood, The Strangeloves, ESG - all in one episode!!!!

Just got on this lately, funny stuff. So many great characters. I like how it has short seasons, it means there are no filler episodes, and each season is forced to have a tight story arc. Amazing production values for a sitcom.
