obama is visiting australia today - i watched the curb ep with larry and leon mixing up their phones the other day, all i can think is "I'M THE PRESIDENT OF HITTIN DAT ASS" every time i hear the visit mentioned on the radio.

Ha, yeah, I think of Leon saying "Barack Obama, motherfucker!" with some regularity.

finally caught up on season 7 and 8, I'm thrilled with how well this show has rebounded.

"Mister Softee" was one of those that was like a great Seinfeld episode where you look back and wonder how the hell they managed to cram so many plots into one episode. Is a Series 9 coming soon?

that film that was just out on hbo is just a long (good) episode of curb. recommended. weirdly underpromoted though, so much so i can't even remember what it's called.

something like 5 laughs in 100 minutes is not considered as "good for me

more like a mediocre and overlong episode

ive only watched the chicago bit and was pretty underwhelmed

It's called Clear History. And LD is being non-committal about when/if CYE is coming back.

i thought they were filming the next season of CYE more than a year ago

nah, it's not up there with the killer episodes of curb but it's decent enough. full disclosure: i've been trying to fill the LD void with louis ck's weak shit so maybe i'm giving this new film too much leeway

I was down for a whole day with stomach stuff and watched Clear History in a sleep-deprived haze, but really enjoyed it. It's totally throwaway, not as funny as Curb, but it had some fun people in it and was just very...fluffy and amiable. It reminded me of some of the recent Woody Allen caper-ish movies like Small Time Crooks. I think any fan of Larry who has seen all of Curb would find something to like in it, but otherwise it's not going to convert anyone. I was certainly glad of it that day and now plan to visit Martha's Vineyard when I have a chance.

Also had no idea that was Kate Hudson until the credits rolled!

admrl's assesment of Clear History is right on the money. I recommend it!!

my gf had never seen curb your enthusiasm before, so a few nights i excitedly cued up season 1, episode 1. i remembered it as being really funny (it's the tent pants episode), but man, i didn't realize how painfully terrible the acting was in the early episodes! it was a little hard to watch - i suppose they hadn't gotten their characters down yet, or the whole improvising off of an outline thing. i skipped ahead to an episode from season 4 and it was like watching a totally different show.

You skipped directly to Season Four, of all seasons? 2-3 are a cut above everything else IMO, there's loads of great stuff throughout but those two are majestic.

oh, it was a skip ahead just for a single episode. it was more of a plea, like, "no i swear the acting isn't normally this bad, it's actually quite good, here check out any episode that is not one of the first few!"

I think the later seasons have considerably less improvisation in them as well.

Clear History is appalling. It's definitely reminiscent of latter-day Woody Allen in that it's a load of ostensibly funny people in a completely humourless movie

I did not know that was Kate Hudson either

I've been a very intermittent watcher since it's been on, like just an episode or two here and there, and I finally have HBO and HBO Go so I went back to Season 1, and I do find it kind of halting and choppy. Moreover though I also feel like the episodes are so formulaic. I don't remember if they get a little less formulaic later.

ive come to accept that no matter how great a movie, tv show , record etc might be, if I try to cajole someone into listening/watching they're going to hate it and im going to be filled with shame and embarrassment until the listening/watching is complete. Now everything i like is just mine unless i find out someone else already likes it too.

kate hudson looked exactly like kate hudson in that shitty movie, guys.

First time I got really into Curb and then started making my friends watch it, it didn't take long to realize the show is 90% unpleasant people screaming at each other.

I had watched all the episodes available at the time (6 seasons) and was blinded by how funny it is.

H, who hadn't seen much of it before, complained about the fact that it's a show about people with no real problems who complain all the time. The characters are all financially set and don't seem to have goals, cares or passions. I guess part of the comedy comes out of that though, the sort of "rich people existentialist hell" atmosphere.

I think i'd just forgotten her in a general sort of way

"I'm an asshole? Yeah well assholes don't date the disabled"

"Check that out"

season 1, episode 1 isn't very representative though - wasn't it meant as one-off special?
Anyway what's the season / ep in whih LD digs up his mother's coffin? that's a good one

I have been a bit ill for the last few days and binged season 1 + 2 of this, its definitely classic for me. Some of these really cracked me up, beloved aunt, the doll's head one, the incest survivor group one. I'm sort of buzzing that there is another 50 episodes of this to watch.

LD is hosting SNL Feb 6th!

9th season seems to be official?

ohhhh this fuckin hits the spot https://medium.com/hbo-cinemax-pr/hit-hbo-comedy-series-curb-your-enthusiasm-starring-larry-david-to-return-for-its-ninth-season-4203b46e2674#.vl09y9d8m

got a bit bored by the last season so not sure how much I need a 9th season

One of the funniest shows ever. Episode where Larry David asks for the doctor's personal phone number is all-time.

Are people anticipating the new season on some other thread?

Larry David: American recordings with Rick Rubin

trailer thoughts? At a glance, seemed both more pro-shot and big budget, and (even) more ridiculous.

The last season kinda seemed like the one season too many, so not sure how much this is needed.
