patton oswalt tho

I like him better as a comic than as an actor, I guess.

it's great seeing him in it, and i'd watch kevin corrigan in anything (which you kind of have to sometimes), but the whole thing's just a little cartoony.

few things

i. is this based on the youtube video of that blubbering giants fan
ii. is he putting on eagles gear in those last shots? wut
iii. whoa hey what's going on here~~~ http://i30.tinypic.com/2ywy78i.jpg

iv. was expecting/hoping for a hilarious comedy film but as soon as i saw the 'OFFICIAL SUNDANCE BLUBLUB' graphic pop up i knew it was gonna be some saddo bullsquid

if the climax of the movie is that he gets SO PISSED that he becomes an eagles fan.... dang that would be something

btw this is the exact opposite of what my philadelphian dad did in his life fyi -- it seems more likely and realistic in the viceversa than it does in this proposed version here because, fucking eagles fans amirite

giants fan embracing the eagles makes me think of "the man without a country"

this does seem hella saddo tho'

this was pretty good! the script is kinda bare-bones but the cast does pretty well. some saddo moments but overall its funny.

s'OK... This is basically the gridiron version of The King of Comedy, only nowhere as good. I don't much like Siegel (wrote The Wrestler) as a screenwriter or a director. The casting of Oswalt, Corrigan and Michael Rapaport tells you they sledgehammer the URBAN CAUCASIAN LOSERS angle.

The radio call-in host is done by some really irritating guy I've seen on SNY shows who has a croaky razorblady voice that's a pity if it's natural and worth an armbar if it's affected, as I suspect.

but king of comedy is terrible!

Scorsese's best film.

I agree with Morbs!

kinda didn't like this; found it amazingly obvious and kinda boring and depressing. Like an extended Onion article. Oswalt was okay tho'.

lol @ the dvd packaging. Looks like a Disney film.

Couldn't finish watching this thing.

Looks too depressing to watch tbh.

not so much depressing as predictable and mopey

I rolled my eyes a bunch

otm

i always feel like i'm alone on this one, idk why it gets so much love

i was kind of hoping the big reveal would be he was the philly fan too. predictable and mopey is about right, not really impressed with anti-epiphany type stories

thot kevin corrigan did a good job eating pizza

Couldn't finish watching this thing.

you easily missed by far the best part if you didn't make it to the climax.

the movie is hella uncomfortable, mopey, etc but the final scene at sharkey's is genuine LOL for several minutes.

okay, I'll fast-forward to the last twenty.

get to where he's in philly and wait to the payoff. the payoff is really funny. i might be biased due to my instincts to also do what he did.

this movie is garbage

no movie that involves a climax in which patton oswalt [SPOILER ALERTS] michael rapaport in a bar and then says [SPOILER ALERTS] is garbage. that scene made the entire movie for me because it was totally "ok they're going to do some horrible bullshit" and then no, [SPOILER ALERTS]! seriously that minute of the movie was so hilarious to me that i forgave a lot of the really uncomfortable shit instantly.

lol that dvd cover makes it look like the invictus of nfl

The payoff was good, but Patton Oswalt is a seriously bad actor*, and that script is so dire.

(*great comedian tho!)

lol @ them erasing the cardinals numbers/names/logos

I thought this movie was just fine. nice little slice-of-life movie with good atmosphere. didn't succeed on all levels and I found the, uh, fallout from what happens at the end kind of unbelievable.

I actually found myself wishing this movie had been a tad less intentionally underwritten - more Hollywood, I guess. Like... watching the extras, it was obvious that they intentionally stifled Oswalt to make him seem like more of a dim schlub, but I think it might have been better had they let him write his radio station rants in his own style. Patton has a great feel for language, but it's not like it's highbrow Harvard educated shit. I don't see the point of getting a dude like Oswalt to be in your movie and then suppressing everything fun about him.

I also felt like the climax/conclusion could have been a little more cleverly done. It was kind of a let down for me.

lol that dvd cover makes it look like the invictus of nfl

yeah, right. those players look like kids too. is there some retarded pedophile subtext i missed?
