Freaks & Geeks

Kevin Hart did good but i think Seth Rogen's still the big winner by any measure

lmfao at mr rosso in the reunion pix

aw i love these pics :)

whys gordon crisp bumped from the mckinley-weir portrait

Apatow couldn't give you a movie because there would be no way to work in his wife and kids without causing a rift in the space/time continuum.

leslie mann was on Freaks & Geeks! Their teacher Mrs. Foote in the episode where Bill has a peanut allergy

That's right! Is she in the class picture?

Maybe what I meant is he'd have a hard time making her the star of a "Freaks & Geeks" movie.

3rd row, far right, no?

Watched Undeclared last week and it took me about five minutes to place Charlie Hunnam. He's actually British! Although he sure isn't on Sons of Anarchy.

wonder if they asked shia lebouf or rashida jones to be in these

yes and kowchevskis not in the other one either dickhead

do you have some conspiracy theory you're advancing here or

Is it just me or does his British accent sound more fake than his American accent?

you can catch a bit of his britisherness occasionally when he lays on the drawl a bit too thick. but otherwise, yeah it's a pretty convincing yankee accent

the... drawl? time to bone up on your descriptions of north american accents!

lol ok touchy. i don't mean southern drawl, just, 'drawl' as in longer vowel sounds

:)

really I've only noticed him having some odd intonation when drawing out those vowels, there's an undercurrent of his original accent where he has to try not to say "caehn't" instead of "caaahn't"

that's what I meant, lol

just watched this for the first time ever. feeling bereft now it is ended. SO good. i may type more, but Max nails it best with "the 'holy shit this is just what it was like' that f&g has".

also LOL at gabbneb being too evolved for F&G.

yeah this show is all-time. I'd still put several other series ahead of it (Sopranos, Mad Men, Twilight Zone) but damn its emotional honesty with its characters is pretty unmatched

it has such a great arc. even though i wish there were more episodes, it tells a story - Lindsay's story - so well, and so completely.

I rewatched it and the bill actor kind of made me real sad because, to me, in F&G, he was the best actor of the bunch. Like just miles ahead of everyone else, and nowadays, as an actor, he doesn't seem to do even a tenth of what he was doing as a kid, idk

I kinda liked the Dead episode, of course.

he was the best actor of the bunch

no doubt. I think he's been given fewer opportunities tho. most casting directors are probably all "too goofy lookin"

life must be so strange when you have an actually masterful professional achievement at a young age

Starr sometimes seems miles ahead of every other actor in the history of moving pictures, let alone the cast. But there's not necessarily scope in Hollywood for him to give that level of performance often, and he probably just has different priorities as an adult anyway. He certainly seems very happy being understated to the point of torpor, for comedic purposes, as himself.

That said, his Party Down character just about could be Bill Haverchuck grown up.

at least he's working way more than the other geeks.

John Francis Daley has been a regular on "Bones" on FOX for like four seasons now.

I think Cardellini is almost as good in F&G, and has been even more shamefully underused; I mean, at least Starr has Party Down.

I've never seen Party Down (what is it?)

god forbid I watch an episode of ER or a SCooby Doo reboot movie tho

shakey i'm jealous of you not having watched Party Down, you need to do so right away.

party down is definitely worth watching - cancelled f/x dark ensemble comedy with adam scott, lizzy caplan, ken marino and a bunch of other funny people, including martin starr

hm I do like Lizzy Caplan

party down was on starz, it was pretty great.

oh yeah starz not f/x

John Francis Daley has been a regular on "Bones" on FOX for like four seasons now.

and has had two multimillion dollar movies produced

i just remember that it got really awful ratings even for a starz show. there was a sorta party down reunion on an episode of children's hospital once.

In 2012 it was announced that Goldstein and Daley would co-direct their script for the reboot to the 1983 comedy film National Lampoon's Vacation. The working title is National Lampoon's Theme Park Vacation. Ed Helms is slated to play the adult Rusty Griswold.

lol sorry adult Michael Anthony Hall, someone lost your phone number

I loaned F&G to a friend of mine who was in that age range of the characters, having gone to a suburban high school in 1980-81. She found it eerie to the point of being almost disturbing.

yeah i watched freaks and geeks when it was running when i was...i don't know i must have been in middle school or early HS...but its verisimilitude was pretty moving
