so, stuff baseball players never listen to?

Huh? (1) If you think this show is about baseball, you're not really getting it. (2) See, there's this notion of diegetic vs. non-diegetic sound in film...

(1) I've only heard and read about the thing, that's why I'm not getting it. On purpose.

(2) Yeah, thx a bunch.

i just watched Apocalypto for the first time last nite and so the scene in will ferrel's back yard is way funnier now.

also lol morbs

Seriously, then, what IS your point about the music?

Liquid Liquid was in this last one iirc?

i believe his point was "I don't like anything about the idea of this so I am going to find absurd reasons to knock it down to all the fans."

it would be such an honest depiction of the baseball world were it not for the musical choices

He wants it to only have music baseball players actually listen to, ie late-period Metallica and Daddy Yankee

"Lunatic Fringe" in the last one was nice - but I guess baseball players wouldn't listen to that?

Baseball players wouldn't allow a camera crew to stand in the middle of the field, between the mound and home plate, when they are trying to play a game. Show is bullshit imo.

'youre assimilating weird'

Was that when he said Maria looked like 'a Mexican Grimace'? cause that was funny.

i love ivan dechenko

this show has the best characters

also woah @ a padded cell song showing up in this episode

and bone symphony :D

how old is kenny powers suposed to be

35?

def 35-40

As a nineteen year-old rookie for the Atlanta Braves, Kenny Powers was brought in to close out Game 7 of the 2002 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles.

29!

which is important as it makes his dream resurrecting his career somewhat realistic

I love this show but this season has....not been funny so far?

I quite like Jason Sudeikis in this though

I haven't seen last night's ep yet

lol

lololol

this season is killin it so far

well ok then

i guess u will have to watch the latest ep and get back to us

...alright

lol flopson

funniest part of this season is how kenny's car looks like a jet-ski, like man that dude just loves jet-skis so damn much

Haha ok that ep was good

2 things

1) http://player.vimeo.com/video/36991148

2) I have not watched basically since the 1st season. Is this still good?

every episode of every season is good

with a name like spurgeon you know he gets pussy

lol @ blacklight nursery

lol at kenny leaving dead shane reading "I'm fucking back"

ivan dochenko is amazing

this was easily my least favorite episode of the season, maybe ever, but still plenty of great moments

what was the eerie music (female vocal) playing in the background a lot of the time?

Stevie with the boner at the beach was so gnarly

they're def getting pretty n/l w/his character

Jesus christ, Kenny Fucking Powers.

Just realised this show is kind of American Alan Partridge. Kind of.

rosemary's baby, "lullaby"

first ep was great, second not so good, not seen third yet. i find the small moments in it more funny than a lot of the big setpieces, eg when he was leaving april the message and said "it is i, kenny powers". the will ferrell character really isn't funny to me though, i like ferrell generally but i just don't find that character well fleshed out by any means. it's very vague, even his clothes etc just confuse it more.

w/ regards to this season, surrealistic nonsense def trumps inappropriate Todd Solandz boners.

What's n/l?

Yeah, I love the little language quirks they give Kenny, which he somehow sells - e.g. when he visits the grieving family and says "we're all in mourning, so we should crack some beers and watch some High Definition Blu Rays."

I was dying at him playing the Candlebox song on the Sony sports boombox at the funeral. The music supervisors (or is it just David Gordon Green? He always has great music in his stuff) get it so right (Morbius' comment still makes me laugh).

Looking at the IMDB forums (never a good idea, obviously, but still), it seems that a lot of the show's bro fans are really not into this season at all. I really think they've landed on a totally unique tone, though, surreal second-ep aside.

maybe i'll start watching again

I mean, it very easily could have settled into more endless fratty catchphrase stuff, but it's gotten legitimately dark!
