Mike Judge's "Silicon Valley" (HBO Show)

died @ garage-inside-a-bigger-garage and intro of blood boy

I wish they hadn't titled the episode "Blood Boy," kinda spoiled the joke. of course, I still laughed every time someone said it.

oh ya Catastrophe rules

Silicon Valley gets renewed. Season 5. It's happening. You heard it here first. Unless you heard it somewhere else. Then you read it here.

yes veep and this make up the best hour of comedy right now imo

erlich out

noo

boo

eh

probably a good move

wrong

Yeah I don't see how that's a good thing for the show

gotta get that emoji movie money

what if jianyang creates AI erlich botman

yeah his roster of 'other projects' sounds depressing as hell

Mild lol at erlich botman

Yeah I don't see how that's a good thing for the show

yeah everyone else is so tightly wound. gonna absolutely wreck the dynamic.

I wouldn't call Guilfoyle "tightly wound"

Or Bighead either for that matter

If you want to see Martin Starr (Guilfoyle) play a different character, this not-bad movie is on Netflix:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_(film)

holy shit i just looked him up on wiki and apparently Gillfoyle was Bill Haverchuck from Freaks & Geeks?!?!

did you not recognize him?

haha i freaked out when i found that out too :)

it genuinely blows my mind that this isn't the first thing people think when they see him or even hear his name

Same

lol damn well know i see it duh

p sick of tj miller tbh

they can just find some other low-rent VC buffoon there's a million ppl that could play that part

I do hope they give him a spectacular death though

ok to be fair I only watched Freaks & Geeks once thru and it was 10+ years ago

though strangely enough I still have not stopped thinking of James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Jason Segel as "that guy from Freaks & Geeks"

Martin Starr more or less the same in Party Down, Knocked Up, sequel to that Nazi zombie movie ...

i never saw any of those!

you should watch Party Down

Party Down is the best.

Party Down is the best and yeah he is similar to Guilfoyle

he clearly didn't wanna be typecast as Haverchuck

omg stop everything and watch party down.

agree with everyone about Party Down

yeah seriously

Martin Starr being pedantic about "hard sci-fi" and the fact that Robbie Krieger and not Jim Morrison wrote Light My Fire in Party Down are pretty much the funniest things I've ever seen on TV.

The hard scifi speech is all time

Stevie D: watch Party Down now; at its best it's better than Silicon Valley.

it's not hard sci-fi but I like it

It's mystifying that no one mentioned adventureland when speaking of latter day Martin starr roles, it's a really sweet sympathetic variation on the hardline nerd of party down / Silicon valley

I actually don't think his Party Down character is that similar to his Silicon Valley character - they have things in common but I think they're two distinct types.

This is madness!

[Blind Gossip] When a key cast member leaves a successful show, you have to ask what happened.

No, it’s not creative differences or scheduling difficulties or any other bulls*t you’ll probably hear. It may be hard to believe, but he’s actually more obnoxious than his character. He walked into contract negotiations making demands like he is the biggest star on the show, and he came out with nothing. The hate working with him so it was as good a time as any to can him.

Everybody will make it look like it was a mutual decision so everybody saves face. He does have other gigs lined up, so people probably won’t question it too hard.

On a side note, we hear that now producers have to figure out what to do with the actor whose character was the foil to the departing actor’s character. One possibility is to make him the key player in a real estate transaction that keeps the rest of the cast together.

that seems ... plausible

I hope Jian Yang gets better scenarios and the actor ends up being the breakout star of the show

holy shit I am watching this new one and I forgot how bro Haley Joel Osment is now
