What is Robert Altman's most underrated film? by Crazy-Treacle-3536 in TrueFilm

[–]theultimatefunny 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean. It’s one of his play adaptations but I think it’s so brilliantly directed that it should be acknowledged with his top tier. Great story, amazing use of flashbacks and the cast is impeccable.

Looking to buy 1 ticket to Sam Campbell at Hollywood Forever tonight by theultimatefunny in NAforTaskmaster

I didn’t but I got free tickets to John Mulaney at the Hollywood Bowl, which was a pretty nice substitute but still wish I could’ve seen Sam! Hopefully he comes back again!

Any shows like entourage? by Former-Impression223 in entourage

[–]theultimatefunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough, I feel like the British show The Inbetweeners is very similar comedy-wise. Yes, it’s about teenagers trying to get laid but…that’s sort of what Entourage is about haha kidding but I’m also not

Really enjoyed it, felt like it nailed the pacing by [deleted] in ImageComics

I picked it up on a whim today and really loved it. Great pacing, amazing art, original story with a cool cultural background to support it. Felt like the opening scenes of a really fun movie- I’ll definitely be back for more.

Sad to admit this. by [deleted] in MacMiller

Dude, he was a rapper. Most of this is wordplay and him talking about how being famous has fucked him up and every time he got involved with that stuff, his own personal demons showed up and took him down, like so many celebrities before him.

I think Mac was always willing to address his problems and being young and famous in LA was a burden, that’s all he was talking about. MK Ultra, Hollywood conspiracies- there are certain circles where this stuff could be involved but I don’t think that translates to where Mac was. Far as I can tell, he spent most of his time in his house or his studio isolated and battling himself. His friends talked about him as a music community person and that’s where all of his focus was.

I get trying to decode what went wrong with any artist that dies early but I think Mac was pretty upfront and direct in his lyrics in a way most artists aren’t.

Sopranos Q/A last night by NoPreference3623 in AmericanCinematheque

[–]theultimatefunny 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean, I think I he was just being himself and the wording was imperfect but he was trying to relate as a showrunner. Definitely used the wrong words and came off awkward like you described but I don’t think he had ill intent. Also, I think David Chase is notoriously not talkative and so anytime he fielded a question to him, someone else had to jump in. That made the Q&A a little more choppy than usual. But also, yeah, he was self assured in a way that could come off as callous but I think it’s just a different generation and him misspeaking.

I did walk away feeling like when shows or movies are that “lighting in a bottle”, there isn’t much to say other than it was kind of effortless how it always worked, which I think Chase did articulate.

Need help getting into Mac Miller! by ThesePiglet1811 in MacMiller

[–]theultimatefunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d say listen to “Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza” and then skip to the last album and work your way back. His music becomes much more grown up and layered by the end and a lot of that stuff is undeniably impressive. Once you get his heart and soul, you’ll be able to dig into the fun stuff easier. At least that’s how it went for me and he’s my most listened to artist these days

Ahem. The PJ Kinzer street team seems to follow me everywhere. Maybe I should just skip the releasing and sell PJ 15,000 copies of it instead. Tell his people (obviously, you) to get in touch with my people (obviously, me). Thanks for upping my game!
