Re: Brian Regan: I Walked on the Moon!
How many successful TV shows have stand-up comics had? Especially guys like this. If he had his own show, it'd be 30 minutes of him doing his silliest, most accessible and family-friendly routine. Namely, his over-the-top shouting hysteria. He's a great stand-up, but hopefully, he'll stay the fuck away from TV. Good stand-up = bad acting. Good acting = bad stand up.

Re: The World of Tim Burton
Whoa. Well, that proves I'm no fanboy. I had no f'ing clue. I was all ready to prove you wrong when I went to IMDB. I guess Disney didn't trust their beloved morals entirely to someone who makes movies heavily influenced by death. He did have Pee Wee to his credit, though. . .
Anyway, that's bizarre to me. You always see his name credited to it. Like in Kingdom Hearts (which, incidentally, you can blame heavily for his popularity with goth tweens), it says TIM BURTON'S Nightmare Before Christmas. That usually applies to directors.

Re: The World of Tim Burton
Only on the internet. True admiration for him means liking him beyond his morbid stuff. He isn't overrated. It's just painted that way in these times of the "depression is cool" movement. I loved Beetlejuice as a kid, before I even knew the depth of it. I found it creepy, but I was fascinated by it. Plus, it was funny for kids and adults.
And Tim Burton did Batman in the way it was meant to be. Before then, Batman was seen as extremely hokey and silly. Burton revived it (the animated series that garnered such a large fanbase was quite noticeably heavily influenced by Burton's take). Then Schumacher ruined it once more. But that's beside the point. I'm not a fanboy. Only a fan. I don't like everything he does. But I do like him. He doesn't pander to the crowds. He does what he wants. Big Fish wasn't what people wanted from him. Nor was Charlie And The Chocolate Factor. Nor was Planet Of The Apes. But he does what he feels like doing. Better than what other directors would do in his shoes. Edward Scissorhands 2, anyone?

Re: The World of Tim Burton
Everything.
EXCEPT Nightmare Before Christmas. Seriously, how could you forget possibly his most famous work to date? Otherwise, that's the most amazing montage ever, as Burton is my favorite director. Wasn't a big fan of Planet Of The Apes (that should have been nixed to make room for NBC), but he is definitely the most incredible visionary director this side of Michel Gondry. Not to mention he's very versatile.

Re: Animaniacs: Hamlet
The writers threw Spielberg's weight around a lot in those shows. Often very directly mocking celebrities and movie. VERY often. Like, every episode. Disney in particular got bitchslapped a lot. It was kinda obnoxious at times, because the jokes were aimed at kids, but the basis was for adults. So kids didn't get it and adults didn't find it funny. Looking back, Animaniacs had its fair share of laughs, but it was too silly. Tiny Toons and Freakazoid had better writing and didn't depend on celebrity potshots to be hilarious. Freakazoid took what was great about old WB cartoons and brought it to modern day. Tiny Toons, more so, obviously.

Re: How to Talk to Black People
I will agree that lesson 7 was unnecessary and forced. It wasn't funny, and as you said, kind of uncomfortable. I loved the rest of it, though. I find it hard to see it as racist, though, when the black people involved seemed to be enjoying it just as much as the white people. It's really no worse than what SNL's been doing for years.

Re: How to Talk to Black People
I find it ironic how you open with the statements "retarded" and "insensitive". And don't try to play it off like you meant retarded in another way.
It isn't insensitive if it's making fun of the blatantly racist community who this is based upon. The guys who made the video didn't make it just to be offensive. The offensive content was already there. They only made light of it. As for being unfunny, you have your opinion. I thought it was hilarious, but you're entitled to your own opinions. But calling it "insensitive" is more an accusation than an opinion. Get off your high-horse.

Funny. Just sounds to me like an annoying dog howling while "The Wall" plays in the background.

Re: Robin Hood: Beginning
We're in the same boat, there. Watching this, my life shot back about 15 years. So many fond memories. Watching it again as an adult, I can fully appreciate the dialogue. That's the best dialogue of any Disney movie, especially recent ones that rely too heavily on the likes of madcap comedians.

Re: Kanye Hands
Meh. Half of the beauty of the original was the simplicity. This throws camera tricks into the mix and that ruins it.

Re: Flaming Lips and Cat Power: War Pigs
I love TFL, and Cat Power is okay. But she butchered this, while they NAILED it. Even Wayne was laughing at her.
