I gave that show Angie Tribeca a shot the other day, it's basically an attempt to remake Police Squad! with Rashida Jones as the lead. It's got some solid gags but unfortunately the 70-30 ratio of good jokes to terrible ones that ZAZ hit in their prime is flipped

Also, we're not 11 anymore, so the totally awesome and amazing scene where a guy gets kneed in the groin and then barfs up his balls/the Schwartz gets all tied up in the climactic fight isn't asthma-inducing hilarity anymore.

Read this as "Gary Coleman" and then got very disappointed that we'll never see that happen.

The Adam Curtis film ('The Way Of All Flesh') about her is definitive.

Walk Hard is one of those movies I can watch countless times and it never fails to make me laugh uncontrollably all the way through. The first time I saw it (in theaters), I didn't really see the appeal, but then I rewatched it when it came out on DVD and it clicked for me and it's been one of my all-time favorite movies ever since. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54dggN1GGjw

Walk Hard is even funnier if you've seen those terrible musician biopics it was parodying. Walk The Line, Ray, they were loving godawful, and Walk Hard was such a pitch perfect parody of them.

I read the book and I still have no idea why Jesus of Nazareth isn't the main character. Like, seven versions of him or whatever.

I'm a bit disappointed they didn't go for the book version of Mister Technology: a fat, acne-spotted young man in a black trenchcoat. Nerd fedoras weren't a thing back then but if it were written today, he'd be wearing one.

This movie, by the way, is about a ghost played by Casey Affleck who watches his widow deal with her loss. That is literally how he looks like in the movie.
