i will watch Linda Cardellini in pretty much anythingalso I loved Damages so that's a plus

also looking forward to Kimmy Schmidt!
was kinda happy to see a new griffin dunne flick pop up - who doesn't love griffin dunne? - but my patience for the patented sundance mid-life crisis live & learn is about zilch. didn't last long. it's almost two hours long! sullen teen kids. road trip. age-old parental conflicts. wacky historical reenactments. the movie equivalent of the writing workshop novel.

still probably better than that horrible bruce dern faux-slice-of-life thing that i couldn't watch last year.

Nebraska was way better than most of those movies

nothing repels me faster than the stench of sundance. which is sad because i'm someone who would seriously consider getting a Ruby In Paradise tattoo. maybe a Ulee's Gold tramp stamp. frinstance watching the trailer for Joe i got that sinking feeling and didn't want to go near it. and i felt bad about that. i'm a big larry brown fan and i liked the book a lot. the idea of dirty fingernails nic cage is a good idea. i was a fan of DGG's early nu-malick things. thought they were exciting as far as amerindie film festival things go at this late date. i couldn't even finish that prince avalanche movie and i wanted to like that. or maybe i fell asleep...i did like pineapple express...watching the griffin dunne thing just made me want to watch exhibition again. or watch some of the jacques demy movies that have popped up on hulu. i haven't seen ANY of them except for Umbrellas of Cherbourg. don't even know where to start.

rufus said he wants to watch better movies. i put on black sheep after dinner last night and he said..."do we have to keep watching this...?" hahaha! message received loud and clear! (i just put things on that a 12 year old AND a 9 year can watch..) so, i went through the criterion list with him and said he could watch any of them as far as i was concerned. then i showed him the piano scene from House! i'm more than happy to have a seven samurai/watership down/eraserhead triple feature sometime soon.
― scott seward, Friday, 6 March 2015 16:04 (nine years ago) link
Scott, I started with Lola, his first feature, the other night and really enjoyed it.

yes, chron order is fine for Demy, at least thru Donkey Skin.

i saw seven samurai for the first time around 12 or so and it had a MASSIVE impact on me; that's gonna be fun.

The first episode of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" was well worth it just to watch Ellie Kemper make faces.

xp 2 eephus - yeah danger 5, although stepping on some well-trod ground, is super hilarious
― Flow-through nonresident pass-through entity (los blue jeans), Saturday, 7 March 2015 04:27 (nine years ago) link
Watched UKS, I get the charm in a kind of abstract way but did not in fact laugh at any point. "Buckley" as name for privileged child an unusually dull, on-the-nose gag for a Fey show. Only the landlady really shone in this.

it gets better. and funnier. as it goes.
― scott seward, Saturday, 7 March 2015 06:50 (nine years ago) link
scott, 'Joe' is pretty good! and isn't really sundancey at all. there was some true, earned grit. i'm glad i watched it. cage is wonderful. DGG cast an non-actor homeless man as the kid's abusive father and he's great-he died on the streets shortly after.
― slam dunk, Saturday, 7 March 2015 06:51 (nine years ago) link
I absolutely loved the first ep of UKS. Happy to hear it gets even better and funnier. Also, "Buckley" is a perfect comedy rich kid name, on the nose or no. Fey is pretty good about not overthinking details.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 7 March 2015 07:12 (nine years ago) link
I wouldn't say UKS gets better necessarily, but then I really enjoyed the first one anyway, Jane Krakowski is basically just playing Jenna Maroney again, and I can do without the step-daughter sub-plot, but the Kimmy/Titus/Lillian scenes are pretty much always really good.

Only watched first ep. I am high on 21st century Martin Short after watching "Inherent Vice" so if he's coming up I'll give it a shot.

OK ep 2 substantially superior to ep 1 and there wasn't even any landlady or Martin Short in it!

there was one line where she talks about seeing a monkey in the zoo and she says something like: yes, that's right, the monkey was female - women can be anything these days!
and i just kept laughing and laughing every time i thought of it.

Martin Short's character in this is one of the craziest, funniest things he's ever done I think.

Why does everyone love this Unbreakable show so much? The jokes are snappy but the acting is terrible, the delivery is terrible, and everything between the jokes is terrible and over acted or broad or whatever the technical term is.

just binge-watched all of broad city up to its current episode, and i tried the unbreakable kimmy schmidt tonight and it seemed so try-hard and not-funny in comparison. i think broad city has ruined me for all other comedies.
