eastbound & down/danny mcbride

"scott will finger you with his penis"

i'm talkin bout goddamn me!

scene in observe & report was rofl too

i never even realized that (darryl-from-office guy) is the batter in the first episode when kenny powers has his meltdown in the majors. such a great scene too, the announcer is just subtle enough leading up to the "the nail in the coffin of a career" line for it to be hilarious

office darryl craig robinson and danny mcbride have pretty similar awesome dumpy dude charisma and fascinating speech - theyre both fringe players in the apatow world prob too enigmatic and strange for starring roles in that broad approach - should do a buddy picture together

WOULD CAMP OUT FOR THAT BUDDY PIC

you gotta pitch that to lamp n max man. genius.

wd watch tht too

anyway, yeah, re-screening and gotta agree w/slocki, once you appreciate the show's groove the earlier eps are just as good as the later ones

if stiller shows up, i'm bailing.

^^^^lollllllllll yeah, pls say no to this in sn2

also: "I saw your dick."

aw buddies^

its far out that david gordon green has fallen in w/the bizarro apatow b team - george washington to eastbound and down is some pretty strange logic

btw anyone else find the eyeball episode to be like way better than the rest

ya it's really strange that he's gone from malick guy to pineapple express comedy guy

its cool tho to see in his comedy work theres still an attention to detail and strangeness that doesnt usually come w/straight up lolz

yrs truly did a big thing in a magazine on how it ISN'T that weird coz (eg) david o russell was in on 'anchorman' and what's-his-name wrote 'i now pronounce u chuck and larry' ETC.

though obviously it is pretty weird.

except terry malick's favourite film of the 00s is... zoolander.

'what's-his-name' = guy who did 'election'.

it's weird in the same way the altman guy who did 'magnolia' then did 'punch drunk love'; or that the guy who co-wrote 'the royal tenenbaums' then did 'starsky and hutch'.

not to impinge upon yr important magazine work but both david o russell and alexander payne have been making funny relatively big straightforward movies their whole careers while david gordon green was down south bootstrapping weirdo shit w/non actors

'magnolia' then did 'punch drunk love'

these aren't that difft!

not quite true of dor, who was making documentaries about immigrant labour or whateverthefuck early on. and 'spanking the monkey' can't have been *much* bigger than 'george washington' rite?

but for purposes of the article, all three are 'sundance kids', to use the inherited discourse, with 'indie cred' but less well-known 'frat pack' connects.

xpost

other purpose of article was saying "these aren't that difft!" lol.

and shit what's her name from 'spanking' was in 'undeclared' so well there you go.

what was weird was when pt anderson took a bunch of time off directing to write for snl!!

i have learned from wikipedia that maya rudolph is his gf - this maybe has something to do w/it

btw is was one episode - and his then gf fiona apple was the musical guest

and shit what's her name from 'spanking' was in 'undeclared' so well there you go.

uniting the universe here

a lot of ppl ask me, "kenny powers, you're a giant star, you can get any woman, have you ever paid for sex?" the answer is yes, I have, several times in fact. and it's actually kinda cool. you can negotiate practically anything and sometimes even just kinda do stuff in the moment which you never agreed to pay for and it goes by without much argument.

I know that one of us has had their own personal stylist and one of us shoplifts their shit from Fashion Bug.

and the mind of a fuckin scientist

I loved this.

Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth

this whole thing is hilare.

the intonation on 'just a man with a mind for victory and an arm like a fucking cannon' is amazing, the way he kind of slows down the last two words.

like the shape of the series, how the start of the fifth ep, following the end of the tape, sort of replays the start of the first, and now he's 'just an average man with execeptional hair'.

Nice Five Easy Pieces ref with the ending

watched part of david gordon greens high end mumblecore epic all the real girls the other nite and danny mcbride has a pretty big supporting role in this serious film

yah he's pretty funny in it too

tht ws his breakout role wasn't it?

first thing i saw him in. its got that guy from parks and recreation too.

i was not aware of him until the pineapple express or tropic thunder whichever came 1st

i hav since seen the fist foot way and part of all the real girls

bandwagoneering from the ice cr?m here, not like cutty and I

just fucked you up with some truth

listen here u beautiful bitch

yep. w/ the whole shotgun arms thing. and how he tells the girl he's chatting up that his learning of pedal steel guitar is far more impressive then her learning of the trumpet or whatev

that^ doesnt sound that funny, but it is. v kenny powersesque

Is it really awful that I find the beautiful bitch line to be sort of . . . hot?

Oh shit, did I just post that?

looooooooolll

he seems like quite a sweet dude in interviews too

I sort of love him. It's true.

yeah i will h8 anyone who doesnt <3 him
