@TugboyFresh That’s the bit. He’s able to keep the stupid joke going indefinitely by taking short arc roles on every anodyne sitcom the broadcast networks put out in the autumn.
@WackoJackosflix It fails the “what do I do with my hands?” test. The actors are too static. They made the movie about eating dinner with Andre for a reason
@LRH_Superfan Elvis was also a guy who danced for hours every day and practiced martial arts. If he lived longer he would have gradually became sideburns Steven Seagal
@LargeFamDad 96th percentile is good, tracks him just below flagship state university academic talent. Get him to 4 hours a day and you could have UConn material on your hands
@willjohnsonbf1 He’s definitely more famous than popular. He got recognition for being massively overweight and having some positive messaging, which is essentially a freak show act at the time. Everything after that has just been about staying in the public eye. He’s more of a socialite now
@MichaelSalfino I’m pretty sure there’s a Netflix show where Ted Danson went back to college and an HBO show where Steve Carell went back to college. The lesson is that you need to put seniors in a position to act like and be juxtaposed to youths for it to be popular.
@JakedChinatown I’m sure it could be done well, Naked Gun showed you can remake a comedy without resorting to cheap production and tired humor. I just don’t trust Mike Myers to do it well at this point.
@capon_one@davegreenidge57 Right? He’s an overweight 80 year old. He’s diabetic, probably takes statins, has had a least one stent placed and likely has a form of prostate cancer you wouldn’t bother to treat at his age. He was elected as an old guy, you have to expect old guy stuff.
@WriteGrlProbs No. It’s definitely a bad thing. Gathering socially to break laws that are only in place to target teens is an important rite of passage. Rebellion without victims is necessary training for young people, and it’s more effective if it’s done with a group of peers
@BowTiedYukon It’s sad to see, but he’s in his mid 50s and needs to stay in Hollywood shape, the days of pushing it to the limit are likely over for him.
Mark and his brother trained at the same gym as me near Boston when they were in town 20+ years ago, he went hard at it. Lifted very heavy
@Eric_Cha93@Variety Let’s be cops was a low budget movie that was already filmed and marketed when that happened. Big difference from a franchise reboot that’s still in The concept stage.
Police shootings didn’t end cop shows and movies, but definitely hit pause on new franchises for a minute.
@Jason_epi@AGM60 I’ve seen quite a few my coworkers rolling on the ground making out on the sidewalk outside of Coogans over the years (admittedly it’s been a while). Skip the food and double down on the beers, the date takes care of itself.
