I wouldn't be surprised if the "first celebrity cameo as joke" was actually not very long after the invention of film, like, within the first couple decades

this maybe

Kareem was a big one. So was Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore.

From TV Tropes: "29 days after the sinking of RMS Titanic, a 10-minute-long movie Saved from the Titanic (now lost) was released. The leading star and a co-writer of the script was Dorothy Gibson - a genuine Titanic survivor, playing as a girl named Dorothy, and filmed in the same clothes she was rescued in"

Band leader Paul Whiteman appears as himself in Broadway After Dark in 1924: I bet there's earlier though…

i guess the titanic one is kind of a documentary really

Oooh, per another site, Cecil B. DeMille in Sunset Boulevard!

and I doubt it was a comedy role... xpost

they were happier times

One of favorite celebrity-playing-awful-version-of-self-cameos is probably Anna Faris in .... Keanu.

Also Buster Keaton as washed-up and depressed Buster Keaton in Sunset Blvd

Every episode of Easy season 3 fills me with more dread than any Black Mirror scenario.

Easy had one great episode: Side Hustle, series 2 episode 3, with Odinaka Malachi Ezeokoli and Karley Sciortino.

One of favorite celebrity-playing-awful-version-of-self-cameos is probably Anna Faris in .... Keanu.

Ooh, that's right!

Omg Tim Robinson's daughter needs to join season 2.

I Am Mother is plot-twist heavy so I won't spoil it, but wow that ending really pissed me off. shame, it was a pretty effective little sci-fi thriller until about two-thirds in.

Barbra Streisand...and Other Musical Instruments, Streisand's ultra kitsch (and, er, racially insensitive) tribute to world music (and oh so much more) from 1973. Bab's worst selling album according to wikipedia. Worth it for I Got Rhythm accompanied by bagpipes.

another YSI thread, and in this one i post the tracks from "barbra streisand... and other musical instruments"

LOL!

"teacher's pet!"

oh my god...he admit it!

OMG @ What We Do In the Shadows episode 7 celebrity cameos! Not like the celebrity cameos discussed up thread.

I know, right?!

My favourite joke in the whole series is the one about witches in the last ep.

Petra Costas 'The Edge of Democracy' was my favorite from the main competition at this years CPH:DOX. Warmly recommended. A great primer on Brazilian politics, with scenes that reminded me of The Battle of Chile or The Hour of the Furnaces.

"Easy" is bizarre. Who is it for, and why did I watch all of it? ... oh no ....

it's like What if "Movie 43' were a drama series

Easy keeps coming up but I watched 2-3 episodes and was like...blech. Most modern relationships are really, really boring/annoying.

I am looking at an episode guide and this summary from an epi in season 2! I want to die. "While the brewery brothers - now dads - grapple with growing pains, their wives launch their own business selling organic dog treats."

is this an accurate portrayal of modern American relationships?? Comments?

I make beer so I've taken those brothers episodes especially hard.

IIRC the brothers don't speak for a year or something because one of them didn't think the other was keeping it real enough

I just looked up who created/wrote Easy and this all makes perfect sense on why I disliked it. I think the last thing I saw of his was Drinking Buddies which was so completely a waste of time.

the artwork for Easy makes it look like a relationships-focused Archer which i honestly would watch the full fuck out of

I'll have to read up a bit about it. it feels like it was written by a 50 year old white dude in New York, in collaboration with an AI of some sort

i watched a couple of eps. they have this couple in an open relationship and literally every woman the dude hooks up with, including his wife, is like ten times more attractive than him, and usually way younger.

also every ep made me feel some kind of not good way. only one i enjoyed was the saddo martial artist security guy going to the fetish party

THAT ONE WAS THE WORST lol

are they supposed to be in NYC? I didn't really notice any particular city, named or not. Basically I had this on "in the background"

hi Jim in Vancouver, I'm Matt in St John's

It's Chicago. The writer is one of those mumblecore dudes. Ugh. Tank of manatees picking from idea balls.

La Treve. I think it’s The Break for the US/UK market? Very belgian. Very good.

I am unclear if Murder Mystery was a movie or if it was a very long ad for Moet & Chandon.

The writer is one of those mumblecore dudes.

Tbf, the writer/director is one of *the* mumblecore guys. True story: I once commissioned a pint of gourmet ice cream from his wife for my wife's birthday. It was ... malted Guinness shortbread? And it was delicious.

Second season of Dark is now up

"every ep made me feel some kind of not good way"

ha, have not and likely will not watch this new season, but this describes my reaction to what i've seen of Easy S1/S2 for sure.

I still recommend episode 3, series 2. I really like Jane Adams’ acting.

Second season of Dark is now up

Took me a while to remember this terrible generic title was actually something I've been waiting for.

my mom asked if I thought she would like dark mirror and i felt compelled to mention the pig fucking so i think she's gonna pass

I’ve always advised ppl not to start with that episode. Tell her to try the Jesse Armstrong one?

start with the one that is about fucking your buddy in street fighter vr
