Also how it was a post apocalyptic story which explicitly said preppers were jerks who made things worse.

Been like 2 decades since I read it but I remember the book being much more interested in world building than valorizing just one dude. And costner made it about himself and what a cool guy he was.

The movie does a weird thing where his character doesn't have a name or a backstory. Which was bizarre because that's not what the book was going for at all.

IS Jerry Seinfeld a funny guy? Certainly he starred in a legendary show, but despite being the comedian he was ironically the straight man to George and Kramer (and Elaine, sorta). Does he have any legendary stand up specials I'm not aware of?

The AV Club's review is slightly less negative but still basically seems like a bunch of gags which sometimes work and sometimes don't. So actually a lot like Bee Movie which was also written by Seinfeld's team.

I loving adore the TV show Seinfeld, like saw every single one as they aired, and then again like a lot, probably one of the best shows in existence to me. I can confirm that Jerry Seinfeld is not a funny person. I also highly recommend checking them now, Seinfeld's almost funnier now because it lines up hilariously with the funniest stuff very very very clearly being Larry David's voice and the rest of the cast's talents and not Jerry Seinfeld.

Yes, Seinfeld is a funny guy. He labored relentlessly over Seinfeld and has good opinions when it comes to comedy by committee writing, and how much effort you have to put in to make it good. He’s also an old guy now, times have passed him by and Seinfeld ended about 7 years before cranky old man superseded his natural sense of humor. Unsurprisingly his partner is a genius who even getting old couldn’t stop the flow of funny. But Larry David is simply an all timer - Jerry maybe gets in the HoF after a few years of voting.

I feel like every attempt to make a He-Man reboot makes the mistake of trying to play it serious. I mean yes that terrible 80s movie had comic relief, but it had a lot of goofy poo poo that I'm pretty sure was supposed to be taken at face value and not intentionally camp. Nobody on Earth, not the little kid consumers of it, not the original creators, no one actually thought this poo poo was gritty or dramatic. You know it's bad when they try and make Skeletor actually an intimidating "serious" villain. He's named Skeletor for fucks' sake! If you're gonna make a He-Man movie, you gotta give it like a Ninja Turtles sorta light irreverent tone, that just happens to take place in a Boris Vallejo heavy metal fever dream of a setting full of buff wizards and monster-men and poo poo

Skeletor in the old movie, much like Shredder in the first Turtles movie, had a fantastic entrance. Just the movie letting the audience bask in their grandness as they marched into the scene. The people making those movies watched A New Hope and saw Darth Vader's entrance and said, "I want that!" and they were absolutely right to want that. Theoretically, a good He-Man movie would feature Skeletor exclusively entering scenes to mounting dramatic music and then he sits down on a throne and cackles or screams at Beastman, that gently caress-up!

Grendels Dad posted:Yeah, this. See, the natural impulse is to give him a Darth Vader sense of gravitas. But Skeletor never really had that. Nobody remembers Frank Langella Skeletor, even though it's a pretty good Generic Fantasy Villain performance that was lacking neither in theatrics nor gravitas. You gotta give him the "Nyeehehehe Heeeee-Maaaaan!" nasally kinda grating voice as he shakes his fist. I mean, if you want you can still have him brutally killing people and stuff, but some of his menace should be downplayed. Which I guess you could do by having him lean into it so far it reaches the point of self-parody by having him do a portentous villain entrance like five times, including just when he's going to read a newspaper or something. Like, the main idea of He-Man is that it's a Weird Fiction barbarian fantasy world, but made kinda silly to the point you forget how bugfuck nuts it is and just accept it as nearly mundane. Skeletor is a buff wizard with a skull-face who wants to conquer the world, you can't take it seriously, but you can lean into it and make him wry and wisecracking and at times kinda pathetic. This is a world where everyone's a roid-monster or is part-robot or something and nobody calls attention to it. The central joke of He-Man and Prince Adam is that this is a universe where being a hulking barbarian is a universal enough body type that Adam is just a normal guy you could plausibly confuse with his alter-ego.

The Robot Chicken He-Man stuff is also great, I support stop motion he-man100%. The toys are a mishmash of fantasy and science fiction with robots, meteor people, bee people, a skunk guy whose power is stink, lean into it and it will be amazing. And yet..

He's very funny in Seinfeld, except for the bits where he's doing standup comedy which are the least funny parts of the entire thing by a huuuuuge margin. I honestly have no idea if that was actually his standup routine or if it was written to be deliberately bad. If that was all him, then I'm going to say that he's not funny. Also he is into kids which is not ok.
