21 Hill is a fat, talentless, unfunny moron, by jimmy rabbitte	May 14th, 2008 09:09:03 AM

I can easily imagine such madness flying into my face by slone13	May 14th, 2008 09:09:40 AM
It's not that hard
I just checked Hill's writing credits on IMDB. by Sailor Rip	May 14th, 2008 09:09:51 AM
Fucking nilch. I guess his talent as a versatile actor leads people to believe he can develop these properties. Not like I'm worried about him fucking up the Jump Street legacy. In fact, let him do it.

At one point Johnny Depp called the show... by rbatty024	May 14th, 2008 09:21:00 AM
fascist. It thought that was pretty funny. Apparently he kept on trying to get fired.
Smart move by chewyou812	May 14th, 2008 09:21:01 AM
While Johan's delivered some funny Apatow line, he must realize that people are starting to figure out that he's a one note talent. Along the lines of Martin Lawrence or Anthony Anderson. Only fat white nerds aren't gonna flock to the theatre just to see him. Better diversify that porfolio pronto!
great idea! by captain_kirk	May 14th, 2008 09:21:06 AM
Since SNL, we know now that Jonah Hill can portray a 12 year old Jewish vaudevillian kid, too. Perhaps it should be 21 Jump Street: The Middle School Years. But it's a great idea and let's see if it works. Stephen Williams should definitely come back to direct/act. I'd like to see the 3 De Luise brothers return.
Dear Jonah... by ZoeFan	May 14th, 2008 09:26:12 AM
This film doesn't need to be made. I have 3 scripts that are original material. I'm willing to negotiate. I'll be waiting for your call...

that Dom Deluise's son played?
Alright!!! by Series7	May 14th, 2008 09:38:12 AM
Johan Hill to make 21 Jump Street. That other guy to make the new muppets. McLovin is going to get to write the Iron Man squel! Leslie Mann to pen and co-star in the next Rambo! Bill Hader to star and write T.J. Hooker! Judd Apatow to direct a movie about raising a family! Seth Rogan to replace both Bruce and Sly in the next Die Hard and Rambo! Jay Baruchel to star as Thor! Russell Brand and Dwight to remake Spinal Tap!
Also.... by Series7	May 14th, 2008 09:40:49 AM
They are making a Transformers 2? When did 1 come out? I remember the Cartoon movie as a kid..... are you refering to that Ford commercial that came out last year that had nothing to do with transformers minus names and some of the voice actors? Because that would suck.
chewyou812 by JohnSpartan	May 14th, 2008 09:41:47 AM
Anthony Anderson is one note? Go check out his stint on The Shield, dude.
Richard Grieco!!!!! by ZoeFan	May 14th, 2008 09:42:14 AM
F'n Richard Grieco!!!! BEST REFERENCE OF THE WEEK!!! Job well done DerLanghaarige.
So is this an INTENTIONAL comedy? by Anna Valerious	May 14th, 2008 09:42:47 AM
We need more 'serious' shows as intentional comedies. It would've helped out that "Miami Vice" movie a LOT.
I thought Hill didn't do Transformers by Annie The Pod Racer	May 14th, 2008 09:53:20 AM
because he logged on here & heard the hoop la. Now he will do 21 Jump St? Ughh...I'm getting a headache, & the only cure is a Colt 45, official drink of the Summer Olympics 4029 Bespin.
Is there anyone asking for a 21 Jump ST Film???? by The Founder	May 14th, 2008 10:01:16 AM
Serioulsy, is there anyone??
I bet by Series7	May 14th, 2008 10:02:30 AM
People are thinking Starsky and Hutch, when Johan Hill came up and said to Hollywood. Hey, I'm tired of just being myself in movies and I would like to ruin any good will given towards me for Superbad, can I have something else to do. And Mr. Hollywood said.... eh heres the movie rights to 21 Jump Street, no one cares about it go make us money.
WHY?? why fuck this up by making it a comedy ? by JeanLuc Dickhard	May 14th, 2008 10:04:33 AM
i'm sorry but they should not starsky and hutch this ..... you know and he is trying to loose weight too...but someone tell jonah you can't shine shit ..... dont fuck with jump street
Depp! Grieco! by fiester	May 14th, 2008 10:07:46 AM
Also, what ever happened to the black chick that was on that show? She was a hot piece of ass.
Derlanghaarige- I forgot he was also in that Brandon Lee flick by Jugdish	May 14th, 2008 10:22:02 AM
Not Laser Mission- but it was before The Crow- Man...Dustin Ngyeun still works!

I love Grieco. He was awesome in Night at the Roxbury by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	May 14th, 2008 10:56:08 AM

Dustin Ngyuen had a role on... by jimmy rabbitte	May 14th, 2008 10:57:47 AM
...SeaQuest as well... poor guy, that was the beginning of the end for him... I think that hot black chick married a football player... Rodney Peete?... maybe?... not sure if that's who it was... here it is... gotta love this interweb thing... http://tinyurl.com/6dykxx That link actually leads to another question... When will we finally get a film version of Hangin' With Mr. Cooper?
Who needs it? by Abominable Snowcone	May 14th, 2008 11:05:30 AM
I mean, c'mon? A shit movie version of a shit show?
jimmy rabbitte by Series7	May 14th, 2008 11:30:30 AM
Alright Seaquest! Maybe the whole Apatow gang can get together and make it a movie? That would be awesome! Its too bad that Ice Cube is already cast as Mr. T in the upcoming A-Team movie, I think Seth Rogan would've been much better!
I love 21 Jump Street by CherryValance	May 14th, 2008 11:34:20 AM
That was a great show. Can't imagine what a movie would be like but it can't be worse than the Miami Vice movie.
Agreed, UnionJack by RockMSockM	May 14th, 2008 11:34:50 AM
I'm tired of these jacka**es, too.

this or a PB sequel?
Before it's too late....invasion... by Darth Macchio	May 14th, 2008 11:51:22 AM
I'm telling you. I was watching "Accepted" and had a startling epiphany. Jonah Hill is the first in a scouting party of Human-Muppet hybrids bent on destroying the Earth and enslaving humanity (well, the enslavement stuff would happen first I think). Seriously, the guy has nictating lenses over his eyes and that weird velcro muppet hair. Plus he can't form coherent words...which is understandable if your tongue is made of terry cloth. I did see he's lost weight in the shit that is Evan Almighty but let me ask you...if you were a muppet...how hard is it to change your physical form? Eh doppleganger? That's right...its a removeable velcro stomach. Enjoy this doppleganger at your own risk folks. In 20 years you'll be dropping coins into my memorandum for when I was the first to see the coming apocolypse of the Human-muppet hybrid invasion. It's already begun....you're next! You're next!!!

DEPPS DEPARTURE by ArcadianDS	May 14th, 2008 12:31:22 PM
Biography just aired the Depp story this weekend. He was so eager to get out of that show, he would come to work in drag, not shower for days, and wouldn't brush his teeth. He never ever was late or missed a rehearsal or taping, but he would make it as painful for everyone as he could without violating his contract. When it was up for a renewal, he had an option on his contract. He went to the producer and said, "I want out, but if you pull that option, I'll honor it." Producer said he was so impressed with the professionalism in Depp, he said he would not pull the option on him if he truly wanted out.

Jonah Hill's 14 minutes, 59 seconds of fame by sofaking	May 14th, 2008 01:06:49 PM
Yep, this should just about put the nail in the coffin. Dude's so overrated. Superbad was it for him.
But seriously, Jump Street is better than its reputation. by DerLanghaarige	May 14th, 2008 01:11:13 PM
Like Miami Vice it's not (just) silly 80's look, it's also a serious and good written crime drama. People tend to forget that.
Every time there is a story about Jonah Hill.. by Cotton McKnight	May 14th, 2008 01:13:20 PM
I think, "who"?. Just call him the fat guy from Superbad because that is all he will ever be known for.
YOUBEDDAGETREADYCUZYOURERUNNINOU TTATIME by Cletus Van Damme	May 14th, 2008 01:40:49 PM
I said JUMP! Man, this could really go either way with his involvement, and I think it comes down to: him being a main character = bad him casting decent dramatic actors as main characters = slighty better
I hope he rambles on less by drewlicious	May 14th, 2008 02:18:35 PM
It gets pretty old pretty fast. There's a reason why one of his longer scenes in Knocked UP was deleted.
so uh... is it going to be a comedy? by quadrupletree	May 14th, 2008 02:20:13 PM
21 jump street isn't really crying out for a remake or big screen adaptation...

Could somebody explain something? by Vern	May 14th, 2008 03:07:33 PM
What inspires the venom for Jonah Hill? I thought he was good in SUPERBAD, and I've seen him in a cameo or two after that. If you don't think he's funny what skin is it off your ass, all you gotta do is not watch SUPERBAD again. You act like he stabbed your mom or said GI Joe was a cartoon when it turns out it was also a comics strip and he should've known that. Somebody please explain, I do not understand some of your customs.
Gotham night... by Quin the Eskimo	May 14th, 2008 03:07:58 PM
after a while I couldn't tell who was punching who. The action broke from circular shot to circular shot. I really did get a headache from it. I like parts of it, but that whole last act was just boring. I wasn't expecting death of a salesman or anything but damn, it was just to much. It was fast food, I ate it then wondered why after I realized it all just tastes like cardboard anyway.

gotham night by Vern	May 14th, 2008 03:17:22 PM
For God's sake I am begging you, PLEASE tell us that your posts are a joke. I cannot live with the idea that you are a real human being who spends every day posting one moronic attempt at a oneliner per talkback. Every single god damn post you top the last one. Each sentence is dumber, more off the mark, less funny, more hair-pullingly frustrating. You are the perfect talkback killing machine. Not an ounce of human thought or soul wasted in your deadly typing fingers. I believe you will kill the internet. Again, I challenge you. Write a full paragraph. Explain why you "weep for society" because they get confused by a giant CGI ball of garbage rolling around while a camera spins around it in a succession of half second cuts. Why is this a danger to society? Complete a thought. Form an argument. Explain a concept. Save the internet from certain doom.
Dammit... sorry about the missed key stroke... by jimmy rabbitte	May 14th, 2008 03:19:56 PM
...I was trying to say that... It's nothing to me if Jonah Hill makes a new movie. I just don't find him all that funny. If he can make a career for himself in Hollywood, then good for him I guess. There will be plenty of other films to occupy my time.
Thanks Vern! by Quin the Eskimo	May 14th, 2008 03:20:20 PM

Now I'd love to see a little black bar TB scuffle! Vern, I think you'd have a room full of targets in the political TB's (anything regarding the Oliver Stone Bush movie). Kind of like fating in an elevator...probably too easy. As for me, my bloated sense of self-importance, and my take on the Human-Muppet hybrid Jonah Hill thing...it's dumbass fun obviously. I think the only thing that actually scrapped the nadskin was someone saying Hill was the next Belushi. I don't care what you think but if you think that is the case then you are indeed a dumbass. Farley didn't replace Belushi either. Nobody does. Watch Bluto again...timeless...ageless...h ilarious....brilliant. Nuff said.
Jealousy... by TELF	May 14th, 2008 04:06:57 PM
I missed the Jonah Hill hate memo. He was pretty funny and fearless on SNL the other week. His career trajectory makes sense at least, being built out of hit movies. Unlike the Farrels, Walkers, Urbans, Blooms and Laws of this world who star in devastating flop after flop and keep getting to headline big budget features. Save your ire for them. So I call Jealousy. Gotham Night, what kind of reaction were you looking for? Or are you more like a street preacher spouting tautology and rhetoric, disinviting reasoned debate by the very nature of your oratory? Still, at least you haven't cultivated a shaky, inconsistant schtick like Thomas Bodet. So well done there.
21 Jump Street would make a good movie. by SnapT	May 14th, 2008 04:10:26 PM
You have my full approval, Jonah Hill. Rest easy tonight.
Did you see SNL? by joeelliott	May 14th, 2008 04:12:51 PM
Not since the days of Fallon has there been anything less funny. Hill is a background character and I wish not watching Superbad, but the Hollywood accountants have decided this kid needs a producing deal and more creative freedom when it comes to the scripts that he skims while at Hometown Buffet. I don't like the kid because he doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve to be taken seriously - if he does, then where is the proof? Superbad? Forgetting Sarah Silverman (or whatever)? Overrated before the chance is given to even be rate at all is what I don't like seeing.
And I sprang my finger so forgive the typo shit by joeelliott	May 14th, 2008 04:16:42 PM

Plot according to Wiki by WickedJester	May 14th, 2008 04:32:02 PM
"The show is about a group of young cops whose youthful appearances enabled them to work undercover in both high schools and sometimes colleges to catch troubled youths." How could Jonah Hill NOT be writing/producing this? What's wrong Miley Cyrus was busy? Hohan's typewriter broke? They picked him because he's like 40 and managed to play a high school senior? I wish I was in on that production meeting. "We're bringing Jump Street to the big screen.. only tough part is finding someone who is really older but looks really young and can write and produce..." "HOW ABOUT THAT GUY FROM SUPERBAD" "Cera? He really is young" "No, the other guy JONAH HILL!" "THE GUY WITH THE FISH BOOTS FROM 40 YEAR OLD VIRIGIN! - PUT THIS ON THE FASTRACK!"

I'm sorry to get personal but your whole amateur VH1 talking head routine is so infuriating to me I lose my cool. But I know you're trying to be a mischievous little scamp so don't pretend you're not happy to drive everybody up and down a fuckin wall. I'm not trying to compare educational backgrounds. I just remember you bragging that you had a communications degree, and yet you have refused to ever communicate in the talkbacks. I understand the kids who are too dumb or lazy to learn how to express themselves but I don't understand a guy who spends as much time as you in talkbacks yet never once tries to express a fully fleshed idea or engage in a discussion. And is shocked when you ask him to. What do you get out of your snide little half-formed one sentence jokes? Does it enrich your life? You're just a mysterious guy is all. I know the answer is no but I'd just like a look behind the magic. It can't hurt to ask.

Most people contribute. I've seen you state opinions, make arguments, etc. so I don't mind if you have a smartass comment sometimes too. Above there were plenty of people saying what they thought of 21 Jump Street or whatever. I didn't mean to question everybody's contributions, Gotham Night just happens to be the most extreme example I've ever seen of somebody who only writes in one or two sentence fragments and never offers an insight or an opinion other than a smartassed disdain for anything and everyone. And I guess there's alot of mean-spiritedness around here but what makes it worse is that it's always in the form of what appears to be meant as a joke but is often hard to quite translate into English. And lately she seems more and more out of touch, like making a ROADHOUSE 2 joke even though everyone knows there is a ROADHOUSE 2, or not knowing that some people have trouble following the action scenes in TRANSFORMERS, etc. Seriously, try googling Gotham Night or her old screen name SkywalkerFamily. It's like staring into the abyss. Anyway, sorry for derailing the talkback and thanks to the couple people whoe tried to answer my question about Jonah Hill. Back to 21 Jump Street.
I think a weekly column.. by Quin the Eskimo	May 14th, 2008 05:03:04 PM
Vern interviews a talk-backer. I would read it. Problem is there are those few who picture themselves as above the fray types, sniping at lessors. Actually, that may make it a memorable column.
pondscum... by -guyinthebackrow	May 14th, 2008 05:39:01 PM
Do you not have any clue who Jonah Hill is? If you did you'd know that he is NOT being continually showered with "chicks, money, or juicy film roles". And writing that Jonah Hill is "overrated" is like writing that applie pie is good for your carborator. It just doesn't make any sense. I agree with you that he won't be making movies in 10 years, and that he has zero charisma, but he's a fat comedian those types usually don't have charism. They're funny. That's it. No one's saying Jonah Hill is Brad Pitt. If they were than THAT would mean he was overrated. But, no one is saying that. It just wouldn't make any sense... kinda like gotham_night. Oh, and gotham_night... I thought you were a chick too. Chicks love the random.
I watched AVsPR last night and nearly puked! by FILMFUNK	May 14th, 2008 05:43:39 PM
Jonah Hill was amazing in Superbad! That's the first movie in years I've actually got a kick out of putting on for friends who've come round and watching them go from What's this teen shit to Fuck me this is amazing and i'm 35! and it's down to the superb writing but mostly the brilliant delivery and physical comedy coming from the little rotund dude with the Hair bear bunch Hair and his skinny pal. He didn't have much to do in Knocked up or forgetting Sarah Marshall and I think Superbad may might turn out to be his best moment, who knows but he doesn't deserve the flack in fact he deserves a reward for NOT selling his soul to Mickey(TWAT)Bay! ps I think Transformers 2 'Twisted Metal Fuckeroo' would benefit slightly from being in 3D coz you might be able to see around things and through things to some of the FX work going on in their or maybee not! either way i won't be subjecting my retinas to another scorching or my wallet to another raping.
Bad Idea by RenoNevada	May 14th, 2008 05:59:59 PM
What the hell! Is every actor who worked with Judd Apatow a writer now. I guess that means that we'll soon be seeing the movie version of "Hunter" written by Paul Rudd.
Pondscum by the podosphere	May 14th, 2008 06:02:18 PM
Well-played sir (or ma'am). I'd have thrown in Fatty Arbuckle and the older Peter Ustinov for good measure.
Why 21 Jump Street??? by the podosphere	May 14th, 2008 06:09:52 PM
It occupies a bit of mindspace in a kind of nebulous way, so really, Hill can take it any damn direction he wants. And every studio in town prefers sequels & remakes to original ideas, as it's a wonderful fallback justification if the movie tanks. Besides, with Pineapple Express (which looks good and should do well), the suits can assuage themselves that Judd's kids can do action comedy. And for the record, Apatow - a smart, funny, wily dude - has quite the talented stable there.
guyinthebackrow by WickedJester	May 14th, 2008 06:12:19 PM
I thought all fat guys had WAS charisma.... Farley being able to take home 3 strippers, an ounce of blow and 2 bags of McDonalds = Charisma.
My hate for Hill by m_prevette	May 14th, 2008 06:17:00 PM
Is due to his horrid performance in what may be the most disgusting film of the decade so far, Superbad. The movie was vile, not funny, crass, insulting and unoriginal. It's stunning that people rave about the "sweetness" of this overheated turd of a movie...there isn't an original thought or moment to be found anywhere in that excruciating train wreck. And Hill ...was the icing on the cake. His performance was grating, over the top, annoying...it's a dire situation if this poorly written and executed "comedy" is any indication of the state of modern American comedy.
"smartassed disdain for anything and everyone" by MattmanReturns	May 14th, 2008 06:39:41 PM
Actually, Vern, that sounds a lot like Merrick. It's only fair there's a talkbacker to match his 'wit'. At any rate, there's no real mystery to Gotham Night. He's just a douche.
Jonah Hill is a - ight by The Winged Doucheman	May 14th, 2008 07:29:09 PM
I just don't see the need for a 21 Jump Street remake. Didn't Nick Cannon already do something similar? Would the target demo even remember 21JS? This is not as shitty of an idea as the Bad Lieutenant remake tho.

Very simple: Jonah Hill hate is because he sucks by TallBoy66	May 14th, 2008 08:35:14 PM
Because his act consists of one thing "being loud" (also "being fat" sells the joke more, which is a subset of his mediocrity) Therefore, he has one joke, loud, which isn't funny, so that's why he sucks.

I wish Hill all the best with this project, except I really HOPE he doesn't try to turn it into a comdey!

post more than one sentence. Pretty impressive shit.
gotham_night is also modest. by mrfan	May 14th, 2008 11:37:08 PM
He stated he was going to post two sentences. Instead he posted three. This guy is going way above and beyond duty on this site. Bravo sir. Bravo.
Is it not worse? by MurderMostFowl	May 14th, 2008 11:45:23 PM
Is it not worse that they are even considering making a 21 jump street movie? Can we not learn from Miami Vice? The shows worked the first time, but they're not shakespeare.
This guy should do... by mrfan	May 14th, 2008 11:53:03 PM
a remake of Gilligan's Island or My Three Sons.

A Welcome Back Kotter movie??? by the podosphere	May 15th, 2008 02:04:25 AM
How does Ice Cube rate stepping into Gabe Kaplan's shoes? All they have in common is the 'Fro. The show was originally meant as a vehicle for Kaplan to do a version of his stand-up act in a sitcom, until Travolta hijacked the show by spending everything he earned publicizing himself (ask the dude who played Epstein. He said Travolta never had any money to go out, so they covered him. JT knew how to apply his capital wisely). Oh yeah, and the writers - who obviously all hated their teachers - put all the best lines in the kids' mouths. In the end tho it will have much in common with Starsky & Hutch, 21 Jump Street, hell, Mission Impossible for that matter, in that the producers are just borrowing the name and some bare bones from the concept to shape a mainstream vehicle for whatever stars they happen to cast.

Gotham_night got fame by mothandrust	May 15th, 2008 04:14:06 AM
Hi, lonnnnggg time lurker and very rare poster. This brought me out to vouch for the underdog. Go GN, ya got noticed and your user name always gets my attention. I like the cut of your gib, and I've seen some gibs in my time, let me tell you. Vern, you just boosted this guy's power rating with the recognition via your random rant - Luv it. Kudos to you both. Jump street was great. The Greico Spin-off, 'Booker' was fun and stupid (how was the Die Hard rip?). Jonah Hill actually made me laugh, and the end scenes of Transformers were as bloody annoying as the quick edit fight scenes in Batman Returns. We better damn well see Batman actually fight this time. Heck, I actually play the GameCube version of Batman Begins just to see the moves without getting whiplash. Back to lurking.
Not Returns... Begins.. by mothandrust	May 15th, 2008 04:17:38 AM
All this returning and beginning, sheesh. Batman Returns, Batman Begins, Superman Returns, but Superman doesn't Begin again. The Empire Strikes Back, while the Jedi Returns and Jedis don't begin, they just keep doing the same Clone war over and over again.
21 Jump Street should not be remade by Toby___Wong	May 15th, 2008 01:15:49 PM
Hollywood has been originality challenged the past 10 years. We don't need no stinkin' remakes. 21 Jump Street is one of the best tv shows ever and that magic can't be recaptured. And I don't understand Depp complaining about the show. He had the opportunity to play all kinds of characters just like he does now. Jump Street was a good learning experience for him. And all those motherfuckers who were responsible for the 21 Jump Street season boxes WITHOUT the original soundtracks should be put to sleep. Don't rip off people if you don't have the original soundtrack. I don't need to see Whooly Booly while a dance track is playing.
The reason people don't like by Series7	May 15th, 2008 01:27:08 PM
Jonah Hill is because, he is riding the coatails of Seth Rogen. And we are already trying to deal with him being a big star, but at least he has been around for a while and somewhat deserving of being a star that is allowed to do whatever he wants. And he is only a year older then Jonah. And all Jonah does now is try to be Seth Rogen. If he was more of the weird akward loser guy like in Virgin and accepted it wouldn't be as bad. Especially now since Eathn Suplee is set on potraying a retard, and lost a lot of weight. Also the almost back to back of Seth and Rogen hosting SNL was painfully unfunny, but thats been SNL for the most part recently. As for this movie, its either going to be Starsky and Hutch or the Mod Squad, either way it'll be worse then both. And for re-making an old TV show. We all know its going to happen till the death of Hollywood. I myself don't even associate most old tv shows turned to movies with each other. Also you'd think someone coming from the Apatow crew would try to make something new and different. I guess Jonah does have as many ideas as Seth.
Worse than Starsky & Hutch and Mod Squad? by hktelemacher	May 15th, 2008 02:40:26 PM
Harsh. This could be comedy gold. Although I'd almost rather see Rogen do it since he can look like he's in his late 30s and I'm guessing that's going to be part of the joke. Thee was a typo up top that made me think Hill should change his name from Jonah to Johan. That's comedy gold. Anyway. Will Apatow be involved in developing this? He's comedy gold.
maniaq re: tbers we tolerate and don't by necgray	May 15th, 2008 02:49:08 PM
I think it's a fair question on Vern's part. If there can be a giant debate about flames on frigging Optimus Prime, I think it's only fair to have a small debate on the quality of TB participants. If you or Goth are intimidated by the fact that Vern has an admin black box, that's YOUR damage. Vern doesn't run the site, so how is it at all fascist for him to disapprove of the quality of TB posts? And has he banned Goth for not providing follow-up or depth? No, he hasn't. So once again, where's the fascism? His point was that most guys who regularly contribute to TBs mix it up. Half well-reasoned discussion, half snarky one-liners.
and yeah, I think some of the Jonah backlash by necgray	May 15th, 2008 02:53:56 PM
has to do with the fact that he's a weird-looking overweight dude. I think it's similar to Rogen backlash. If you read reviews for the recent glut of Apatow flicks, critics love to point out the "schlub" main characters. Even Peter in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Which personally I find infuriating. Jason Segel is a schlub??? What the fuck constitutes a leading man physique, people? Anyway, personal aggravation aside, I do think there's an element of jealousy at work.
oh, and just to throw in on this specific topic by necgray	May 15th, 2008 02:55:57 PM
As much as I like Jonah, I dread the idea of a comic 21 Jump Street. I hope he is making it serious. Hey, there's a chance. A guy can have diverse interests and tastes and talents...
Which talkbackers are the "best"? by Quin the Eskimo	May 15th, 2008 03:32:38 PM
I've been curious about why some people gots some cache and some don't.
I got no love for either of em by Maniaq	May 15th, 2008 05:22:57 PM
and I got no problem with someone being banned for killing a TB like we see here on occasion - I just don't see why our posts have to pass some kind of quality control - and that's not just about Vern either. There's room on here for stupid nonsensical posts as much as there is for flames and for poignant, well articulated deep insight and anything else, for that matter... maybe it's a little hypocritical of me, singling out Vern for singling out Gotham - I'll cop that - now lets move on
to those who dislike the Apatow gang by necgray	May 15th, 2008 08:40:45 PM
I hate Seinfeld. Absolutely hate it. Can't sit through an entire episode. But I long ago manned up and admitted that I'm in the minority and it's best to just accept it. You anti-Apatow gang folks should do the same. You're not going to escape that group any time soon. So bitch all you want, it's not going to change the fact that you ARE in the minority.
"It helps if your Hebrew" by Pumpkinjoe	May 16th, 2008 12:08:57 AM
Some of the best advice I have ever gotten on the subject of "making it" in Hollywood. Let's just face the facts people, if you ain't sportin' the skullcap, you ain't gettin' in.
