I wouldn't be surprised if the "first celebrity cameo as joke" was actually not very long after the invention of film, like, within the first couple decades

Kareem was a big one. So was Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore.

From TV Tropes: "29 days after the sinking of RMS Titanic, a 10-minute-long movie Saved from the Titanic (now lost) was released. The leading star and a co-writer of the script was Dorothy Gibson - a genuine Titanic survivor, playing as a girl named Dorothy, and filmed in the same clothes she was rescued in"
Band leader Paul Whiteman appears as himself in Broadway After Dark in 1924: I bet there's earlier though…

i guess the titanic one is kind of a documentary really
Oooh, per another site, Cecil B. DeMille in Sunset Boulevard!

One of favorite celebrity-playing-awful-version-of-self-cameos is probably Anna Faris in .... Keanu.

Every episode of Easy season 3 fills me with more dread than any Black Mirror scenario.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Sunday, 9 June 2019 04:30 (four years ago) link
Easy had one great episode: Side Hustle, series 2 episode 3, with Odinaka Malachi Ezeokoli and Karley Sciortino.

I Am Mother is plot-twist heavy so I won't spoil it, but wow that ending really pissed me off. shame, it was a pretty effective little sci-fi thriller until about two-thirds in.

Barbra Streisand...and Other Musical Instruments, Streisand's ultra kitsch (and, er, racially insensitive) tribute to world music (and oh so much more) from 1973. Bab's worst selling album according to wikipedia. Worth it for I Got Rhythm accompanied by bagpipes.

My favourite joke in the whole series is the one about witches in the last ep.

Petra Costas 'The Edge of Democracy' was my favorite from the main competition at this years CPH:DOX. Warmly recommended. A great primer on Brazilian politics, with scenes that reminded me of The Battle of Chile or The Hour of the Furnaces.

"Easy" is bizarre. Who is it for, and why did I watch all of it? ... oh no ....
― maffew12, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:47 (four years ago) link
it's like What if "Movie 43' were a drama series

Easy keeps coming up but I watched 2-3 episodes and was like...blech. Most modern relationships are really, really boring/annoying.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:54 (four years ago) link
I am looking at an episode guide and this summary from an epi in season 2! I want to die. "While the brewery brothers - now dads - grapple with growing pains, their wives launch their own business selling organic dog treats."
― Yerac, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 16:59 (four years ago) link
is this an accurate portrayal of modern American relationships?? Comments?I make beer so I've taken those brothers episodes especially hard.
― maffew12, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 17:17 (four years ago) link
IIRC the brothers don't speak for a year or something because one of them didn't think the other was keeping it real enough
― maffew12, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 17:20 (four years ago) link
I just looked up who created/wrote Easy and this all makes perfect sense on why I disliked it. I think the last thing I saw of his was Drinking Buddies which was so completely a waste of time.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:07 (four years ago) link
the artwork for Easy makes it look like a relationships-focused Archer which i honestly would watch the full fuck out of

I'll have to read up a bit about it. it feels like it was written by a 50 year old white dude in New York, in collaboration with an AI of some sort
― maffew12, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:36 (four years ago) link
i watched a couple of eps. they have this couple in an open relationship and literally every woman the dude hooks up with, including his wife, is like ten times more attractive than him, and usually way younger.
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:39 (four years ago) link
also every ep made me feel some kind of not good way. only one i enjoyed was the saddo martial artist security guy going to the fetish party
THAT ONE WAS THE WORST lol
― maffew12, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 18:40 (four years ago) link
are they supposed to be in NYC? I didn't really notice any particular city, named or not. Basically I had this on "in the background"hi Jim in Vancouver, I'm Matt in St John's

It's Chicago. The writer is one of those mumblecore dudes. Ugh. Tank of manatees picking from idea balls.

La Treve. I think it’s The Break for the US/UK market? Very belgian. Very good.

I am unclear if Murder Mystery was a movie or if it was a very long ad for Moet & Chandon.
― Yerac, Thursday, 20 June 2019 23:33 (four years ago) link
The writer is one of those mumblecore dudes.
Tbf, the writer/director is one of *the* mumblecore guys. True story: I once commissioned a pint of gourmet ice cream from his wife for my wife's birthday. It was ... malted Guinness shortbread? And it was delicious.

ha, have not and likely will not watch this new season, but this describes my reaction to what i've seen of Easy S1/S2 for sure.
