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)

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

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

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

Cardellini doesn't even really look human anymore

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

I am almost done watching this. love almost everything about it. including Neil getting his ass beat by cheerleaders.

and also him acting like a cutup, like saying "I had a great time with your wife last night" when he was the catcher

one of the great ensemble casts for sure - there's not a weak link anywhere. bill watching garry shandling on his own with a grilled cheese breaks my heart and makes me laugh every time. martin starr is the best
damn i should watch this again

yeah martin starr having a career is kind of a miracle cuz he was so great on freaks and geeks but i just assumed we'd barely ever see him again.

i love seeing martin starr anywhere but as much as i like him as a sardonic asshole in party down and silicon valley i wish he got to to do more of the nuanced, sympathetic stuff he did as bill haverchuck - even his posture was perfect ffs

i just watched the pilot again and bill's awkwardness is so vivid and painful that it doesn't really seem like acting at all

my overriding memory of this show (which I only saw for the first time 4-5 years ago) is by the end of every episode my other half would be in floods of tears and just saying how much she was like the linda cardinelli character as a kid. there's a truthfulness to this show you don't see much in programmes about young people. the episode where the drummer kid quits playing drums is just so harsh and powerful.

Been watching this as a family. Been a while, but perfectly cast, well written, very almost unusually nuanced and empathetic. My kids are digging it.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 27 June 2018 01:11 (five years ago) link
Just saw a 90-min show on it on A&E, worth seeing.
― nickn, Tuesday, 17 July 2018 05:49 (five years ago) link
Started this tonight for something I've been working on. Found the first episode slow but promising. This probably came up somewhere on The Virgin Suicides thread, but it's amazing that (from the air/release dates I was able to look up) they scooped Coppola on "Come Sail Away" by a few months (best scene in the pilot, I'd say). Coppola's film also had a key scene with a Down Syndrome character--I don't know if she's ever talked about it, but she seems to have been influenced by the TV show.

Often great. Enough so that when it wasn't, I wanted its many flaws smoothed over. And when the flaws started to take over, something great would happen.
