Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 08:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Allegedly they were finally going to do a Simpsons film, but at this rate that seems like something which should be done as a final episode type of deal -- get Conan O'Brien back in to write the screenplay, I figure. Well, we can dream.

Recent biography was very good. Seems like there may be biopic in the works. (No thread devoted to the guy so I picked this one to revive)

The O RLY of Everything (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 1 September 2013 17:04 (twelve years ago)

i think the main problem is what attitude would a film take toward his comedy? He made me laugh when I was a kid, but it seems like awfully tame stuff nowadays compared to what Pryor and Godfrey Cambridge were doing at the same time, and he was no Cosby in the grand scheme of things.
