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

it's okay and i say that as an avowed 30 rock hater and having only seen one episode of UKS

xp 2 eephus - yeah danger 5, although stepping on some well-trod ground, is super hilarious

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, '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.

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.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 7 March 2015 12:44 (nine years ago) link
OK ep 2 substantially superior to ep 1 and there wasn't even any landlady or Martin Short in it!

episode three had ma laughing and laughing.

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.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Friday, 13 March 2015 22:22 (nine years ago) link
did you watch 30 Rock? it was equally cartoonish in style.

No.

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.
― just1n3, Saturday, 14 March 2015 07:10 (nine years ago) link
everyone should really just start with episode 3 of kimmy. the first two are not great. it gets way better. this is the last time i will say this on here, i promise!
― scott seward, Saturday, 14 March 2015 15:09 (nine years ago) link
i watched the french Point Blank last night. really dug that. although i couldn't help think about who they were gonna get for an american version. liam neeson probably a little old to be playing a student nurse. they could make him a doctor though...
― scott seward, Saturday, 14 March 2015 15:10 (nine years ago) link
but anyway if you like good lean & mean action movies, that one is a good one.

staying away from the kimmy thread until i've finished the series but omg martin short
― IHeartMedia, the giant broadcaster formerly known as Clear Channel, (stevie), Sunday, 15 March 2015 14:56 (nine years ago) link
id recommend staying away from the kimmy thread period, it is basically half "i enjoyed this show" and half "if you enjoyed this show you are an irredeemable racist" which i now realize is kind of a recurring theme across much of ilx so i guess post retracted
― head clowning instructor (art), Sunday, 15 March 2015 15:04 (nine years ago) link
ok yes that sounds like good advice

I watched almost all of Kimmy Schmidt last night and I like it but I don't think I ever actually had a real, deep laugh while watching it. It's amusing. I'm also jaded.

it helps if you have a big pot brownie. i thought i was gonna die the night i watched 8 in a row.

i watched a horrible nic cage movie last night. i guess i was feeling masochistic. i mean, i watched Salesman and F For Fake on Hulu a couple of days ago, so maybe i thought i was watching too many good movies. anyway, this movie was kinda like a movie that usually stars a professional wrestler or a mixed martial arts fighter, but it had nic cage in it instead. and danny glover! poor danny glover...the "surprise" in this movie was not a surprise if you have ever watched more than one episode of Law & Order, but the "surprise" made everything that happened in the movie completely senseless and pointless. like the movie! which is kind of a meta-take on a movie like this. in a way. i just kept starring at nic's hair. and hairline. and his face. his weird lumpy face. he screamed and cried so much in this movie. it was like a liam neeson revenge movie without the subtlety. peter stormare plays a gangster in a wheelchair and in five minutes his accent goes from russian to irish to bronx to marbles and it is really something to see.

"staring" not "starring". but his hair is kinda the star these days.
