Believe it or not I never watched it. Like maybe I didn't have cable at the time or something? Dunno. Would watch, though.

gal darnit, ski-be. A second ago I was just thinking to myself "man...between guster and weird stadiums and david wain stuff, sb and i really are a lot alike." then you go and say you've never seen stella.

seriously though, do yourself a favor and try to find a way to watch the stella show from comedy central. There's only 8 or 10 episodes i think, but they're all that great, clever Wain absurdity. Plus MIB and Show. A few people from the State and Wet Hot make cameos too.

I enjoyed Wanderlust. And Role Models was great, too. I honestly didn't know who this Wain guy was, but after reading this thread and thinking about it in the shower, I pretty much Matlock'd that he must have done Role Models, too, before it was mentioned ITT. I think I love his style.

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #55 on:** August 05, 2015, 06:49:04 AM »

Confirmed. He's great. Apparently he did a send-up of rom coms recently called They Came Together that was a commercial flop. Stars Paul Rudd and Amy Poeheohler. Watched the first ten minutes last night and had a lot of that same over-the-top absurdity. Will watch the rest and report back. It's on Netflix streaming and Chris Meloni speaks very highly of it.

Now you listen to me mr. Kick-ass. Mr. Rub-ber-bur-ner.

That's all. Gene is such a great character. Carry on, go cats.

There are 10 episodes and they are all goddamned treasures. They can be yours forever for $16: http://www.amazon.com/Stella-Season-Michael-Ian-Black/dp/B000FZETJS

Their pre-TV short videos are all online: http://www.stellacomedy.com/shorts.html. "Searching for Santa" is probably the most well-known.

I really liked it. Definitely more absurd than Wanderlust or Role Models

The baseball one is my favorite short.

Will watch TCT tonight.

TCT is very funny and only 82 minutes. Which is maybe a bad sign for a comedy, maybe not? For anybody not too familiar withWain/Showalter stuff, just know that this rom com send-up is one hundo percent spoof action.

20 minutes in. Love Paul Ruud's wardrobe choices. I mean, he's no that fat guy who plays that gay guy on that one sitcom, but I appreciate that he's a serial KU rep'r on the big screen.

Her babydaddy running towards the wedding party with the samurai sword over his head had me irl lollerzing

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #67 on:** August 06, 2015, 10:30:56 PM »

what about that scene where all the guys were just hangin' around shootin' hoops in the park? holy crap

Spracne · « **Reply #68 on:** August 06, 2015, 11:14:52 PM »

Swish!

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #69 on:** August 07, 2015, 12:26:52 AM »

If you listen closely when they cut to that scene you can hear the guys chattering in the background while they shoot hoops and they're just saying the word basketball over and over.

I loved the board meeting scene where MIB gets denied the big account and the corner office and eventually gets canned and the boss is like "you're gonna lose your license" and MIB is like "huh? License? I'm not licensed..." And then the boss is like "NOW GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!" and black is like "well, I WANT you to change your mind, you just fired me!"

They're just so good at tossing in cliches that don't make any sense and then just obliterating it with like a scintilla of common sense.

michigancat · « **Reply #71 on:** August 07, 2015, 07:24:10 AM »

I tried to watch the movie last night and turned it off after like 15 minutes.

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #72 on:** August 07, 2015, 11:03:48 AM »

Did you turn it off to go do your part eviscerating mommy blogs in the thread I started for you?

dmartin · « **Reply #73 on:** August 10, 2015, 03:21:22 PM »

Watched WHAS Friday night and then binge watched the netflix episodes saturday night. Loved it.
