He is also the one that did World's Greatest Dad. He's not a bad writer/director IMO.

If you like things that are very fucked up, Bobcat Goldthwait is goddamn awesome. And I do!

Mongrel · « **Reply #962 on:** January 31, 2012, 10:18:43 AM »

I actually liked him as a stand-up comedian (though not in excessive doses), but I always seem to be alone in that regard.

The YouTube comments are entirely expected yet still manage to be horrifying in a way "THIS IS MY GREATEST FANTASY YEAAHHHHH!!!" etc.

Not that I'm all down on cathartic fantasy. But hopefully this will just be a sort of funny version of Falling Down and nothing more than that.

Pre or post voice?

One of Bobcat's greatest regrets is doing the police academy movies, because he was stuck doing the same character most of the rest of his career. It very nearly kept him from getting into writing/producing/directing, because of shit like this:

From... director...

Naaahhhhhh, I didn't just read that.

EDIT: Okay so basically this is

Garbage Day! (high quality)

Only imagine Bob Goldthwait saying the line.

The point is you're the same kind of imaginatively bankrupt individual that has been systemically ruining the entertainment industry for the last 30+ years.

I actually forgot he was in Police Academy! I meant his stand-up stuff. Ultimately you make the choice what material to present and gimmicks are far more tolerable in comedy.

In my experience, if you want to do serious material, you should never go into comedy in the first place. Rick Moranis and Jim Carrey did some great expressive characters (and some terrible ones) but they sound like mildly unhinged clinical depressives these days. But the Pagliacci joke was already ancient when Alan Moore used it.

Doing semi-serious material or parody is particularly difficult, and you really do need to start from the beginning with that stuff.

Also, I am not a studio producer. So can it.

Anyway, Nick Gurewitch already put this better than I could:

In fairness I think shinra just needs a time out or something.

I remember when I saw this comic and he stopped posting for a loooong time. It was a bit worrying.

Well, I AM imaginatively bankrupt, but you probably shouldn't infer that from a single ignorant throwaway meme gag.

It should be inferred from my collective history as an ignorant meme-spouting prick.

That trailer makes it look like "FIGHTING GAME: THE MOVIE"

Pretty animation style though.

映画『貞子3D』特報

can you guess what else is in 3d right now

Mothra · « **Reply #973 on:** February 13, 2012, 10:40:29 AM »

I never really thought about this but horror movies and specifically Sadako coming out of the dang theater screen could actually make some killer use out of 3D for a change.

Anything that brings us closer to a future that allows for the ending of Last Action Hero.

What did I just watch? Was that a creepy revenge fantasy movie with bonus pederastic undertones?
