Odd thing I learned a day or two ago is that Cherly Hines is married to RFK Jr. lol
I've been feeling really nostalgic for a few years now and missing the style of summer comedies I was used to seeing in high school. Comedies from the late-90s until about 2010, or so. Superbad was the summer I graduated high school and remains one of my favorite comedies. Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin, etc. Either the cast of the directors (Apatow, Judge, etc.). I was lamenting how comedies now are just different. Or I'm different now than I was 18+ years ago.
But Prime has 40 YO Virgin and I just put it on and felt like an itch had been scratched. I've seen it before, obviously, but it felt new this time around. And it felt funny, which is not something I can say about many comedies I've seen the past 10 years or so.
I'll rewatch the stuff I had on a mental list I made and then I need to watch The Interview and Sausage Party. I have managed to not see those somehow.
Seth Rogen gets shat on a lot. He's no Christian Bale or Leo or Brad Pitt, putting out iconic performance after iconic performance; but he certainly has a sense of humor I can appreciate. The same goes for his ensemble of friends he works with, like James Franco and Jonah Hill. And that one other Canadian guy that didn't get as big as the others but had his own show on FX. Jason something?
The number of movies I watch in a year, either streaming or in theaters, can be counted on one hand since 2018 or so. I missed it and I'm going to dedicate the next month or so to watch a movie or two a week, new or old. In an effort to find a new release that looks interesting and to scratch the itch of old comedies, I forgot I could just go back and watch the ones I enjoyed years ago.
i started King of Queens about two months ago. I had never seen the show, aside from bits and pieces on TBS after it was syndicated. I'm on season 6 and I wonder wtf happened to Kevin James and why he didn't take off like the other fat comedians. If I remember correctly, he just gets tossed in the background of an Adam Sandler movie once in a while, and that's it. It does get me my fix of Jerry Stiller, though. It's like he walked off the set of Seinfeld when it ended and reprised the same role on King of Queens.
