    This movie is such a trip. I unironically love the first half of the skits, up to and including the superhero dating.

    Because clooney is a smug bastard. With Lemmy being so small, I’m sure you’ve heard me say this multiple times before this topic. It’s surprising how often I have to call clooney a smug bastard, but here we are.

        I haven’t seen the movie, but I’m confident he was smug in that role. Because George Clooney was played by George Clooney…the smug bastard.

          Its a show on hulu. He’s a dumb guy who gets cuked by his wife by the main character. He didn’t write the role, he adapted it from the book. And that’s the (minor) character he played.

    The other night my wife suggested we watch this and I’d vaguely heard of it, but not its reputation, so we did watch it since an anthology would be fun! We made it maybe 40% through until I realized it was so bad that I had to stop. They just don’t know when a joke stops being funny, and most of the skits are barely funny to begin with.

    If they cut most of those skits down by probably half, the movie would be awkwardly short, but it would at least flow better, and you’d be able to move onto something else if you weren’t liking the current skit much, but as it is, it’s a mediocre slog that has a bafflingly star studded cast.

    It’s just far too juvenile and long in the tooth, and I have nothing against juvenile humor, but man, I just couldn’t get much out of it.
