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"

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.
― shit tie (Jordan), Friday, 5 April 2013 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
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
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 5 April 2013 16:42 (eleven years ago) link
hm I do like Lizzy Caplan

oh yeah starz not f/x

― Devendra Bumhat (sic), Friday, 5 April 2013 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
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.xp

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.

interesting that the rusty from xmas vacation has gone on to be on two major sitcoms, while the vastly superior rusty from european vacation is now just the blonde from gossip girl's older brother and people don't even remember the proper order of anthony michael hall's name (he turned down doing european vacation, so he can't feel too jilted)
― mizzell, Friday, 5 April 2013 17:19 (eleven years ago) link
oh wait michael anthony hall is his actual name? weird.

Michael Anthony, Anthony Michael, it's all the same when nobody wants to hire you anymore.

Cardellini was an amazing performance to be sure; always disappointed she didn't do more, or really anything near that level dramatically again. I wonder how much Forgetting Sarah Marshall impacted her career, if at all.
― Nhex, Friday, 5 April 2013 17:50 (eleven years ago) link
why would that impact her career
― four Marxes plus four Obamas plus four Bin Ladens (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 5 April 2013 18:07 (eleven years ago) link
the people who know that she dated a dude she was on a show with, that said dude wrote that movie, and that he supposedly was inspired by his own experiences
so probably like five or six people
― I, rrational (mh), Friday, 5 April 2013 18:12 (eleven years ago) link
oh I got the subtext of the movie, I just don't see why any producers/directors would care that her ex-bf made a movie about her being a bitch
― four Marxes plus four Obamas plus four Bin Ladens (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 5 April 2013 18:13 (eleven years ago) link
probably not - i think ER ending and that movie just kinda happened around the same time
― Nhex, Friday, 5 April 2013 18:15 (eleven years ago) link
if anything some producer is probably hoping she does the same to some other guy, because hollywood loves a good whiny heartbroken man film these days
― I, rrational (mh), Friday, 5 April 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
Cardellini doesn't even really look human anymore

what... she looks the same but 13 years older

She is also Chris Cooper's oil developer character in The Muppets because Segel is unable to write fiction and everything in all his scripts is transcribed directly from his real life
