IamA actor Amir Talai, does anyone care to AMA?
I've seen famous and non-famous people do these, and I'm sort of in-between, so I thought it might be fun.
I'm an actor who has done a fair amount of TV and Film (Harold and Kumar 2, What To Expect When You're Expecting, Family Guy, HIMYM, Kung Fu Panda LOA) but I'm recognizable to only a very small number of people.
Full credits:

What's a good Christmas movie that I probably haven't seen yet?
submitted by AgentDoggett to movies [link] [comments]
Which films did you watch last week? (03.19.17 - 03.25.17)
Hello, FG Reddit. The weekly thread is back. Let the festivity begin!
I went on a Mike Myers binge last fortnight. Writeups to follow shortly:
Wayne's World (1992) (Dir. Penelope Spheeris)
This film remains the highest-grossing out of all films that were based on SNL skits. But throughout the film the only thing passing through my mind was, "Is this supposed to be funny? Like, are we supposed to laugh at this?"
It's not as if I dislike films where the main characters are stupid and inept and this behaviour is celebrated as a rule. I love Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (its sequel isn't half bad either). I like the two Harold & Kumar films. I even managed to get a few chuckles out of Dude, Where's My Car? However, those characters were not utter wastrels and there was something quite endearing about them. Wayne's World, however, belongs with the likes of utter shitfests like Bio-Dome where there is nothing redeemable about the main characters; they are simply ugly blotches upon the face of the earth.
I do concede that Tia Carrere has a great singing voice and Rob Lowe manages to play the snarky foil to Wayne & Garth very well. hence the extra point.
2/10
Wayne's World 2 (1993) (Dir. Stephen Surjik)
It underperformed at the box office and is considered by the fans of the first film as an inferior successor. But I liked that the characters were more grown up in their attitude, there was more of a drive to the story and the humour showed more effort. The downside was too little of Tia Carrere.
5/10
So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993) (Dir. Thomas Schlamme)
An odd duck among Myers's filmography. Unlike Wayne or Austin Powers, this has a proper screenplay and not simply a loosely connected series of independent skits. Myers plays a coffeehouse poet (which seems to be his only occupation, somehow, and he is not talented at it either) who is paranoid about commitment. He falls for a butcher but starts suspecting she might be a serial husband killer.
The story has ambition but the climax fails to make sense. Some comic scenes work, some don't. The cameos of Phil Hartman and Charles Grodin are pointless but Alan Arkin is absolutely priceless as a non-stereotypical police chief. Myers himself is pretty good as his character's Scottish father who never misses an opportunity to embarrass him son and uses Queen Elizabeth's photograph for darts practice in the toilet.
5/10
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) (Dir. Jay Roach)
Mildly amusing, overall. The film does manage to capture the psychedelic kitsch of 1960s Swinging London pretty well in the opening credits montage. But as before, Myers doesn't know when to leave a joke alone. Having a character cracking a joke and then explaining it is not funny, just condescending. This kind of humour might work on TV because the couch-potato audience is far less demanding and the laugh tracks are constantly there to remind them when to laugh... but films are a different ballgame.
5/10
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) (Dir. Jay Roach)
The series reaches a low. The jokes are more or less the same and the scatological humour is an unwelcome addition. The upside is that the film has Heather Graham looking absolutely ravishing enough to eat up raw and therefore I cannot give it the lowest rating.
3/10
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) (Dir. Jay Roach)
To my surprise, this film turned out to be as amusing as the first. Fat Bastard appears in only one scene, which is a relief. Plus the character of Mini-Me was well fleshed out. Michael Caine is a welcome addition to the cast as usual. The flashback scene with a teenage Austin and the Silence of the Lambs parody were hilarious. The reference to After the Fox came as a total surprise.
I might have liked the film the most in the series had Beyonce not been such a nondescript actress. Her character is supposed to be channeling Pam Grier but there is zero conviction in her poise and line delivery.
5/10
net positive portrayals of Asians in western media
I know a lot of posters here have argued to reject all western media and only consume Asian media. It is your prerogative as to what media you enjoy, but to me this feels a bit like the ostrich sticking its head in the sand. It might feel better on a personal level, but does little for the greater good of our people in the western world. The works that actively combat the discrimination we protest against do not get support from the very people it would benefit the most. At that point, should we really blame others for not going out on a limb to represent us better?
There are the classics like:
Better Luck Tomorrow Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle as well as more recent films like:
Gook Columbus Mayhem But what about lesser known portrayals? I also tried to give example of positive Asian female representation but couldn't think of any off the top of my head, so someone please provide one!
Let's start a list in this format:
Title | Year - title of the media
Character(s) - name of Asian character(s)
Opinion - your opinion on why this is a net positive portrayal
Some movie recommendations that should be de rigueur for exmormons, including Paint Your Wagon (1969)
- Paint Your Wagon wide open freedom in the west includes polyandry, until community respectability enters the picture.
Some more of my favorites...
In A Cage Made of Bamboo
Black lurker here.
I agree with you that you should always put your issues at the forefront, I've seen a lot of Asian activists (mainly women but dudes like Arthur Chu) pathetically obsesses antiblackness in Asians (as a way to pander and gain intersectionality points) and issues surrounding black people. I'm not against solidarity but the problem is that currently ask the average person what issues face Asians and they wouldn't know where to begin because the image is that life is cosy for you guys so it's kinda dumb for these activist to be focusing on other people's issues when your voices ain't even being heard.
My brotha
Petum hit the nail on the head, but he got one thing wrong. It's not just us that has a problem. It's America that has a problem. We're her problem.
The only reason she has a problem is she doesn't want us here. America has a Chinaman problem.
Yes, even today.
Let me tell you a story. It's not a tale of assimilation, or integration, or inclusion. It's a story about exclusion, about alienation, about being a perpetual foreigner. Spoiler alert: it does not have a happy ending, or at least, not yet.
I grew up in the Midwest. When I was young, I attended a public school in a prominent university town. This being the breadbasket of America, the demographics were about what you would imagine -- primarily white, with a sizable scattering of black, and maybe one Native American. Asians were as rare as the dodo.
I remember about the 1st or 2nd grade, kids started to split into their own small groups. Like oil and water, we all separated into our own little color coded gangs. Since there was a dearth of kids that looked like me, I fell in with a crew of white rugrats. These guys rode the bus with me, lived next door to me, and shared desks around mine. It was a natural sorting.
I still remember, clear as day, when I realized I was different. We were all walking together in a single file on the playground when one of the kids, I forget his name (Daniel? Michael? John?), turned around and, for no reason whatsoever, punched me in the stomach.
I was so shocked that I couldn't react. Breathless, and slightly embarrassed, I remember confusedly trying to make sense of things. I hadn't done anything wrong. We didn't have any beef; no insults had been slung, no toys had been fought over. It was just a regular, normal day, same as any other day, but for whatever particular reason, that day my so-called friends had decided to fuck with a chink (I'm actually a gook, but whatever).
Apparently, my story is not unique.
From The Leadership Conference, a civil and human rights coalition:
Across the nation, the Associated Press found that Asian students say they are often beaten, threatened, and called ethnic slurs by other young people, and school safety data suggest that the problem may be worsening. Youth advocates say these Asian teens, stereotyped as high-achieving students who rarely fight back, have for years borne the brunt of ethnic tension as Asian communities expand and neighborhoods become more racially diverse. "We suspect that in areas that have rapidly growing populations of Asian Americans, there often times is a sort of culture clashing," said Aimee Baldillo of the National Asian Pacific American Legal Consortium (now the Asian American Justice Center).
In 2005, while waiting on a subway platform in Brooklyn, New York, 18 year-old Chen Tsu was accosted by four high school classmates who demanded his money. After Tsu showed his classmates his pockets were empty, they assaulted him, taking turns beating his face. Tsu was scared and injured — bruised and swollen for several days — but hardly surprised. At his school, Lafayette High in Brooklyn, Chinese immigrant students like him are harassed and bullied so routinely that school officials in June agreed to a Department of Justice consent decree to curb alleged "severe and pervasive harassment directed at Asian-American students by their classmates." Said Tsu after his beating, "Those guys looked like they could kill somebody. ... I was scared to go back to school."
In South Boston, 16 year-old Vietnamese student Bang Mai was killed on July 11, 2004 in a massive brawl between white and Vietnamese youths. The basketball court brawl was the result of weeks of tension between the two groups. Mai was fatally stabbed as he attempted to walk away from the brawl. Sixteen year-old Keith E. Gillespie was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to five years in prison.
In Fresno, California at Edison High School, Hmong students had been taunted and had food thrown at them during lunch. On February 25, 2005, the taunts escalated into fights involving at least 30 students, resulting in numerous injuries, suspensions, and expulsions. Eight students were convicted of misdemeanor assault.
The incident stuck with me. It's what psychologists call a "flashbulb memory" -- an event forever seared into my brain. I remember nursing a grudge, filled with growing anger and hate, to the point that the next time I saw DanielMichaelJohn during PE, I threw a basketball into his face apropos of nothing.
What happened afterwards was telling. DMJ immediately went crying to the school's principal, and I was sent to an after-school counseling session where I voiced my frustrations at my growing awareness of the racial divisions that I saw during recess as articulately as a prepubescent toddler can manage. The result? I was told that I was crazy, that I had anger management issues, and that I needed to go to therapy. My parents were called in; my mother shrieked at me, my dad just laughed. I always loved my dad.
The funny thing is, I used to get into it with black kids too. On the basketball court, playing on a 7 foot rim, a black child would call me "chink", I'd call him "nigger", and then we would scrap. Nobody broke us up. Nobody stopped us, even when my hands were around a kid's neck. No parents got involved. We duked it out, dusted ourselves off, and went back inside dutifully when the school bell rang. Most of my friends through highschool were black.
Speaking of highschool, I played a lot of sports. Football, wrestling, crew. I wasn't particularly athletic, but I thought that these were just natural pasttimes of young male students everywhere, and I wanted to belong to something. I remember watching as my teammates all went through hormone stages and puberty, and locker room tales started circulating about girls.
I never joined in on those conversations. You see, I had no clue what they were talking about, with their lurid whispers and tales of high intrigue of sneaking into some young chick's bedroom while her parents were away on some weekend getaway. I couldn't even tell what was real and what was fiction -- I never got the looks, the giggles, the whispers. My first girlfriend in highschool was Mexican, and she didn't even attend my school.
When I went away to college, I spent my freshman year in an all-white dorm. It played out exactly the same as the scene from elementary school. We'd just be chilling, hanging out, and then when we got drunk/high, the words "nigger" and "chink" and "spic" started being slung around at an alarming rate. What was alarming was not just the frequency, but the
casualness of it. Despite being a huge, public, liberal institution, these young college-educated Caucasian males who were all aspiring to be this country's next sports stars, presidents, and CEOs (well, considering we were a D1 school, maybe a step below all those things, but you grok me) were
racist as fuck. They just were racist behind closed doors now, apparently their parents had scolded them into behaving themselves in public.
I didn't hook up or get laid at all that year, despite me attending a shit ton of house parties and fraternity orgies. I was often the target of racial barbs and slurs, to which I reacted, overreacted, violently. Eventually, for my own mental health, I decided I needed to walk away. I received competing bids for both a White frat and Asian frat, and I decided, fuck it, whatever, I've done White my whole life, let's try something different.
Joining that frat saved my life. I felt like I went through a second adolescence, except this time, I actually experienced the things that an adolescent should - partying, camaraderie, late night drunk talks, impromptu pickup games in our parking lot, first (second and third) loves, etc. I met friends, some of whom became life-long, and fundamentally grew into the person I am today.
I got a life.
Eventually, college ended, we all grew up, and moved out to different parts of the country. Nowadays, I toil away in an air-conditioned cubicle inside a giant ant farm sticking out from the center of a Midwestern heartland city like an angry zit, while racial tensions seethe beneath the surface. Working as a corporate management drone in the back office, I see things that most worker bees don't, and
what I see is alarming. Same shit, different day. It's elementary/high school/college all over again, except now I don't have any brothers to reach out to. Well, except y'all, my black friends, and a few close bros from college.
So what, right? So what, everybody has problems. Every race has problems. What is your problem? What is the
Asian American problem? Don't you guys lead a relatively cozy life? Aren't you all the highest earners in this country as a demographic? What the hell do you have to bitch about? Is it bullying? Immigration? Not getting laid? The struggle with poverty by Southeast Asians? So what?
So what, indeed.
Let's talk about the bamboo ceiling. The term "bamboo ceiling" was coined by Jane Hyun in her book focusing on Asians in the workplace. Like many sisters who achieve mainstream recognition, Jane is a straight Anna Lu. Her book
The Bamboo Ceiling: Career Strategies for Asians sits on a bookshelf right outside my work elevator. It is defined as "a combination of individual, cultural, and organizational factors that impede Asian Americans' career progress inside organizations". This impediment is said to arise from the importance (White) America places on subjective factors such as "lack of leadership potential" and "lack of communication skills."
Fucking eyeroll. Y'all know my, and researchers',
take on this (Berdahl 2012). "Communication" and "leadership" skills are just dogwhistles. See the below excerpt:
In Cheng’s (1996) studies on masculinities in organizations, college students had to select among their classmates people who would serve as leaders for group projects and what values they needed to possess. He found that all the leadership values students were looking for were based on hegemonic masculinity. What naturally followed was the selection of mostly White men to be group leaders followed by White women who emulated masculine behaviors. Of all the racial and gender groups, Asian American men were the least likely to be chosen for leadership positions within their class. Students cited meritocracy to rationalize their decisions. However, when Cheng analyzed all the selected leaders based on merit alone, the Asian American men were more qualified than the students who were selected.
Source: Asian American Masculinity: A Review of the Literature
http://men.sagepub.com/content/14/3/379.full.pdf Of course, articles regarding the subject written in popular rags like
Crains,
Fortune magazine, and
the Atlantic have all reinforced this textbook whitesplaining. Let's just call a spade a spade -- the bamboo ceiling is a result of racism. Period. End of.
Or maybe not. I mean, yes, our sister Jane was onto something, even if her explanation of it was misguided. There is a very real bamboo ceiling.
Even the US Department of Labor came to the same conclusion (Woo 1994).
In sum, personal, cultural, or other group deficits are reasons which have been offered to explain promotional barriers. Survey responses have underscored Asian American employees' perceptions of barriers, which include not only language deficiencies but external barriers such as arbitrary or subjective evaluations, the absence of mentoring or sponsorship, and exclusion from informal networks. Obstacles to career advancement cannot be attributed to simple cultural parochialism or clannishness.
In terms of negative long-term consequences for mobility for Asian Americans, the culture of corporate America was identified in one study as "the most serious type of impediment by far to upward mobility."
Straight from our government's own mouth. Btw, my Master's was in Industrial Labor Relations, so this study had me geeking a bit. To hear the perspective of some voices from within our own community, check out this
NPR transcript.
LEAP does good work, check em out and support em, brothers.
Back to my original point. If the US government itself, and the
numerous articles about Silicon Valley published recently point to there being a clear case of racial discrimination in the workplace, why do I say this is not a case of race discrimination?
Because it ain't. Jane saw the ceiling, but she didn't see the bars. Sure, there's a bamboo ceiling, but there's also bamboo walls, and a bamboo floor. This tiny jail cell we've all been crammed into by virtue of being born with yellow skin and slanty eyes.
This shit here? This shit right here, ninja? This shit is
caste discrimination. In America,
race is caste.
The social disparity between Negro classes and the White classes is particularly disconcerting to upper class Negroes.
In his own personality he feels the conflict of two opposing structures, and in thinking and feeling of the members of both groups there is to be found this same conflict about his position... Although he is at the top of the Negro class hierarchy, he is constantly butting his head against the caste line.
American Caste and Class (Warner 1936)
My brothers, we do not have it "better" than other minorities. In fact, we're touching on something that y'all have known since birth. Why is it that we as a demographic are treated differently when it comes to issues of race in America? How come, despite all our educational attainment and high median income, we're still constantly shitted on, harassed, bullied,
jailed,
killed? Why is racism towards Asian, particularly Asian men, okay?
It's because we're the motherfucking Dalit.
You see, this goes beyond "micro-aggressions" or "hate crimes". This goes beyond class, where, yes, we seem to superficially be doing well on average because of demographic gerrymandering. The fundamental fact is that America is just as much a
caste system as the old Hindu order.
Varna may be translated as "class," and refers to the four social classes which existed in the Vedic society, namely Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. Certain groups, now known as Dalits, were historically excluded from the varna system altogether, and are still ostracised as untouchables.
Except we call them Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, LGBT, Asians. Unlike
class, which is defined by averages, the mark of your
caste is how high you can rise to a position of social and cultural prominence in society. Do you know when we'll see an Asian American POTUS? According to 1 in 4 Americans,
fucking never.
The survey found more Americans were uncomfortable voting for an Asian-American for president (24 percent of those surveyed) than for a candidate who was African-American (15 percent), a woman (14 percent) or Jewish (11 percent).
Nearly one half, or 46 percent, of those surveyed felt that with Chinese-Americans "passing secrets to the Chinese government is a problem," according to the survey, sponsored by the Committee of 100, a group of prominent Chinese-Americans.
Thirty-two percent felt Chinese-Americans were more loyal to China than the United States, it said, and 24 percent said they would not approve of intermarriage with an Asian-American.
Still don't believe me?
Jāti may be translated as caste, and refers to birth; that is, the caste into which one is born. The names of jātis are usually derived from occupations, and considered to be hereditary and endogamous
Asians: Engineers, Doctors, Lawyers.
We grow through immigration, not reproduction.
And the bulk of that immigration come from very specific, rigidly defined occupations. You want to be an engineer, a doctor, or a lawyer? Great! Come through to our country, we have a spot on the sugar plantation for you.
Just make sure you're neutered first,
don't ever breed with any of the locals unless you want trouble, and make sure you die nice and quiet without leaving behind too much of a mess.
Want to be President, CEO, superstar? You're shit out of luck, sorry, those roles were not meant for you.
Oh, and while we're keeping you down, let's not forget to poke you with sticks through the bars.
By making it harder to find housing. By making it harder to find a job. By paying you less than you're worth. By firing you first. By relentlessly bullying and harassing you with no consequences. Oh, and are you getting too uppity? Have you forgotten that you all
made a deal with the devil and swore to become palace eunuchs and concubines? Well never forget that the floor you're standing on is a trapdoor,
leading straight to a
dungeon.
Harold and Kumar knew what was up.
Let me tell y'all what our problem is. We're lepers. We're the untouchables. We are the
BOTTOM CLASS IN A DE FACTO CASTE SYSTEM. Again, the only reason we don't feel full-blown White rage is because
we pay tithes to our White overlords and
give them our daughters as tribute. See how fast they'll crack down on you once you stop paying them off.
Their badged goons will descend on you so fast that your head will spin. To protect and serve... White people, never fucking forget.
So what should we do? What
can we do? How do we tear down a social order that's as old as the
Mayflower and
Plymouth Rock?
We build a nation. There's a reason brother CN Le calls his website
asian-nation.org.
You see bros, I'm a nationalist. But not a traditional Asian nationalist, like some of these guys with their heads stuck in the Old World. I'm an
Asian-American nationalist. I believe that we need to come together in solidarity, as a community, and fiercely fight the fight that previous generations lost and left to us. I believe we need to stand together, and no longer accept our societal role as neutered housepets, destined to die as the last of our kind. I believe in Yellow Peril.
First things first, get thee to an enclave. We need demographic majorities in the cities we live in, if we want to build a nation. LA is a start. New York is good too. Some parts of Texas. The more numbers we have, the more shoulders and backs, the easier it is to create a counterculture to fight back against the dominant White supremacist narrative.
Second, if you have the stomach for it, go into entrepreneurship. But no more of these blind ass "colorblind" hiring practices please. Focus on hiring and promoting each other, particularly our Southeast Asian brothers. Out of all of us, they're the only ones that kept their balls, and you can see White Supremacy already trying to "gentrify" them. It's all over our mainstream AAPI activist orgs that have been hijacked by the enemy. They want them to turn into passive, docile, obedient servants like many East Asians that come here fresh off the boat with a Master's degree and the delusional fantasy of a better life.
Fuck that. We should uplift our own community. We should pour our money, not into white laundering fronts like Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, and an E-class Mercedes, but into these poverty stricken groups who are the only ones serving as our militia. They are the frontline against the police, bros, understand that. We should take care of our soldiers.
Finally, get involved. We need more brothers to speak for our community. Our political apathy must fucking end. Our sisters are either drifting along in opium dreams, or have turned traitor. We need more uncompromising brothers like this one to shout down the palace eunuchs:
“Did you read the book?” I asked. “If you can find any crumb of a complete thought in the book that remotely infers ‘America is great,’ I’ll read the line.”
“Eddie, we need it for the episode. It’s a big moment! You have a black kid and a Chinese kid breaking bread over a Jewish hip-hop concert. Where else could this happen? America IS great!”
“Of course you picked a Beastie Boys concert. That’s what you people do — you make Asian sitcoms for white people praising Ill Communication because we’re both acceptable, unthreatening gateways to black culture. These kids couldn’t break bread at a Gravediggaz show?”
“How about a compromise? What about ‘Ain’t America great?’ or ‘America’s not half-bad!’”
I’d known Asian-Americans like Melvin my entire life. Those Booker T. Washington –Professor X–Uncle Chans, willing to cast down their buckets, take off Cerebro, and forget that successful people of color are in many ways “chosen” and “allowed” to exist while the others get left behind. They spout off about the American Dream or Only in America as if they’re about to rob the next great fighter from Brownsville. I empathize with Melvin, but Uncle Chans are basically born-again-Christian felons who will praise anything as long as they don’t get sent back to Rikers. I’d rather be Tunechi, “Left Rikers in a Phantom, that’s my nigga.”
http://www.vulture.com/2015/01/eddie-huang-fresh-off-the-boat-abc.html That's my ninja. Mad props to Eddie, he's a real brother.
And if you no longer have the courage to step to White Supremacy because they've taken your balls, or they turned you into such a bitch that you start
apologizing for them, at least turn to internet spaces and slacktivism. If you can't set the streets on fire, the least you can do is bitch on Twitter and engage in hashtag activism. Remember Suey Park? Remember the hullabaloo around #NotYourAsianSidekick?
Well, let's go one step further.

A Message From a House Chink CW18 & 19 - Movie Pick Theme: Food and Drink
Hey friends!
After doing a trial month with the weekly themes, we’re moving to two-weekly themes to see how that goes for May. I’m taking CW 18 and 19. My birthday falls in this period, so I was hoping to make it a little bit special by matching the theme to my number one hobby, my true passion, the thing that occupies my brain 90% of the time and the reason I get up in the morning. However, I didn’t think I’d get many takers for Michael Fassbender Fortnight so I’ve gone for my #2 hobby:
Food and Drink.
I’m certainly using this opportunity to watch

The sorting program has been improved since last month.

So my last post about Robert Sean Leonard/James Wilson appearing in SVU / other shows made me start wondering what's everyone doing post-House.
I'm including all major characters including Park/Adams/Masters, not including Wilson's ex wives and House's "friends" (Russian chick/Alvie)
So let's start with Hugh/Greg:
Since House ended in the lovely late spring of 2012, Hugh has been somewhat-busy, touring with his band and recording new music.
In 2012; he lent his voice to Dr. Cockroach Ph.D. in a video short Shrek's Thrilling Tales, no idea what's that about.
He then appears in a movie called Mr. Pip as the main character called Mr. Watts.
Then he had a partially small break of acting and went on a pretty big tour to accompany his first studio album Let Them Talk which brings us to 2013 when he releases his second studio album Didn't It Rain and goes on a massive tour across the world (Wiki list is incomplete, visit Hugh's official site for past tour dates).
He was cast in a sci-fi movie Tomorrowland in early 2013 but the movie came out in 2015, 5 years after it was initially announced, and it was a total failure in box office (earning around $208.6 million against a budget of $190 million, and that's not including marketing and other costs which made the movie's budget skyrocket to over $320 million)
Fast forward to 2014; he's still touring Europe mostly (I saw him in Belgrade, great show, wish he went on a tour again :( ), in the meantime he again used his magnificent voice; for voice acting this time in a game called LittleBigPlanet 3 he voiced the Newton character.
In 2015; he joined the Veep tv show for 6 episodes in season 4.
In 2015; he was cast for an upcoming mini-series by BBC/AMC called The Night Manager as an arms dealer called Richard Onslow Roper. It's scheduled to air on 16th April on AMC.
Since then, he's done a small stint on the Jimmy Kimmel show with George Clooney, his Tomorrowland co-star.
Robert Season Leonard/James Wilson
Since House ended he appeared in Law and Order: SVU in 3 total episodes, 16x21, 17x03 and 17x10 so it's more of a somewhat-recurring role.
He appeared in 9 episodes of some zombie tv show Falling Skies
Guest starred in The good wife (6x03) and Battle Creek (1x13) and The Blacklist (1x07)
and that's about it.
no movies or anything like that, he may or may not appear in a few more SVU episodes, time will tell only.
Omar Epps/Eric Foreman
Omar hasn't been very active, he was the main character of a fantasy drama TV show called Resurrection, it was cancelled on May 7th by ABC after 2 seasons.
He's currently filming a movie called A Meyers Christmas, scheduled for release on November 11th this year.
He's also in a tv Movie called Shooter which is based on the 2007 movie Shooter, go figure. No exactly release date yet.
Nothing else. Literally nothing.
Lisa Edelstein/Lisa Cuddy
Now mind you, after not accepting a pay cut for the 8th season of House (I'm kinda glad she didn't, the writers did a good job of cutting her off in the somewhat perfect S7 finale, it's like they knew she won't come back for next season even though the contracts were offered during the summer break, long after the episode has been written/shot/aired), Lisa has been fairly busy, busier than OmaRobert that's for sure.
She guest-starred as herself in the 3rd season premiere of the comedy TV Show Children's hospital
Back in 2007, she started occasionally appearing on American Dad, she returned to the show for an episode in 2011 (7x02).
Then she guest starred in 3 episodes of The Good Wife (3x03,04,05)
In 2012 she appeared in a Crime movie Blue-Eyed Butcher
And also in 2012 she guest stars in an episode of Elementary which is a modern rendition of Sherlock Holmes with a female Watson with Sherlock living in NYC. (1x08)
So, that brings us to 2013 which was fairly busy to say the least;
She guest stars in 2 episodes of a comedy TV show called House of Lies, season 2 episodes 5 and 7
Yet another guest star role, TV show called Scandal, which is some form of a thrilledrama, season 2 episode 16
She then stars in a comedy/romance movie called She Loves Me Not
After that, it's 2 drama shorts, Evermore and Three Hours Between Planes
And then she gets the role in some animated TV show, The Legend of Korra, voice acting that is.. She appears in season 2 and 3.
Then she gets a recurring role in a comedy/drama Castle, season 6 episodes: 01, 02, 03, also un-credited in 8x02
And then in 2013/14 she finally gets a main role in an all new TV show called Girlfriends' guide to divorce, I think it's a neat show.
After joining that show she only did 1 movie called Joshy, it was released a couple weeks ago.
Phew, that's all about Cuddy. As I said, really busy woman!
And she got married in May 2014.
Jesse SpenceRobert Chase
Oh Jesse, he's been real busy alright, right after House he got the role of Lt. Matt Casey of Chicago Fire Department Firehouse 51 in Chicago Fire, he appeared in several Chicago P.D. episodes (spin-off from Fire), it's honestly a great show and I love it. And no, he doesn't use an Australian accent there, which is sad.
Join us; /ChicagoFireNBC /ChicagoPD and /ChicagoMed (an ER show)
He didn't do much besides Fire, he lent his voice for some animated tv show called Phineas and Ferb
He appeared last year in a crime movie The Girl is in Trouble
That's all for Casey, I mean; Chase.
Jennifer Morrison/Alison Cameron
It's really late here so I'll keep everything short from now on; she left the show ages ago, she did a lot of stuff. most famous I guess is HIMYM where she appears in Season 7.
Also Once upon a time
Peter Jacobson/Chris Taub
Taub did a lot of stuff, mostly guest starring (Chicago PD, It's always sunny in Philly, L&O: SVU), some movies here and there..
Recurring role in:
Ray Donovan,
Colony
Olivia Wilde/Remy Hadley/13
Recurring role:
Doll & Em
Portlandia
BoJack Horseman
Main role:
Vinyl
I also remember she was in one movie where she was 100% nude, that gif was flying around /celebs like crazy. Can't remember which though.
Kal Penn/Lawrence KutneKumar
Recurring role for season 7 I think of HIMYM His first appearance
Main role: We Are Men
Some Harold and Kumar films/shorts:
Escape from Guantanamo bay
A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas
Recurring/main role:
Battle Creek
Deadbeat
Odette Annable/Jessica Adams
Recurring main:

Somewhat main role in the new 2 and half men
Inside Amy Schumber
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret
Nothing really outstanding..
Anne Dudek/Amber Volakis/Cutthroat bitch
She left house a while ago, she did a lot of stuff so just check her IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0240043/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t13
I sorted through hundreds of 21st century comedies and averaged out their IMDb user scores, Rotten Tomatoes critic/audience scores and Metacritic user/audience scores to figure out the best 21st century comedies.
I had a lot of fun putting together the
best horror films of the 21st century list that I unleashed on Reddit so I decided to do a 21st century "comedy" list.
The comedic films of the 21st century have been an eclectic mix that feature 40-year-old virgins, bridesmaids and Merlot hate. We’ve been blessed with horror comedies (What We Do in the Shadows), comedy dramas (The Royal Tenenbaums) and just straight up comedy (The Other Guys) Wes Anderson, Alexander Payne, Judd Apatow and Edgar Wright directed solid gold movies that have made defining the word “comedy” impossible. So many of the 21st century comedies fall into several categories at once. For example, movies like
Juno, Shaun of the Dead, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, The Station Agent, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, American Hustle and
The Kid’s Are All Right cover every genre while still being recognized as comedy. Movies don’t have to be “Ow, My Balls” to be considered funny and that is why I
collected so many films for the data set.
The following lists are pure data. I’ve haven’t tinkered with the averages or weighted anything. I simply wanted the facts and I found out some interesting things in the process.
Here are the two lists you will see below:
Top 25 rated comedies from Rotten Tomatoes critics, RT audience Scores, Metacritic critics, Metacritic user scores and IMDb users Top 25 Rated “Comedy” comedies from Rotten Tomatoes critics, RT audience score, Metacritic critics, Metacritic user scores and IMDb users If you are interested in checking out the data and voting for your favorite 21st century comedies it would be great The films were included in the lists because I scoured through RT, Metacritic, IMDb and google and they all are defined or were nominated as comedies.

what are your favourite R-rated comedies?
the blood and cornetto trilogy probably tops my list. zombieland, bad santa, tropic thunder, harold & kumar 1 and 3, supertroopers, beerfest, baseketball, team america, forgetting sarah marshall, and blazing saddles probably round out my list.
about 5 minutes into anchorman 2, i realised i had grown weary of apatow movies. i never really liked the parody movie franchise with the exception of airplane!, which was fucking awesome.
here is a listing that refreshed my memory (though some of the older ones were pg at the time iirc):
http://www.imdb.com/list/ls005573935/ (Pickups) The "Sir. Pops-a-lot is a true gentleman, Pee-Wee not so much" Edition
Here's the Haul These are my personal pickups from the past couple weeks.
- Moonwalker - This was one of my absolute favorites when I was a kid. The main part of the film is a 30 mini-movie about Michael Jackson taking the war on drugs into his own gloved hand(s). Joe Pesci plays a weasly crime boss in this high production value short, which also serves as an extended video for "Smooth Criminal". The rest of the disc is a compilation of videos and live performances, which seems to be only available in this movie. The clay-mation "Speed Demon" and kid-spoof "Badder" are equally as awesome as any of the old MJ classic music videos.
- Star Wars: The Clone Wars Vol. 1 & 2 - I am currently almost done watching Star Wars Machete Order, thanks to Marcoosha's reccomendation. I had just finished watching Episode II: Attack of the Clones, when I saw Vol. 1 at one of my Pawn Shops. Since I was at the exact right time to be able to enjoy these animated treasures (which I'd never seen), I snatched it right up. They have really added a lot to the story, really building both the characters of and relationship between Obi Wan and Anakin. Highly Recommended.
The Next 6 movies I grabbed for $10 at the Pawn shop earlier this afternoon:
- Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle - Haven't seen it in forever, and I own the first one, so why the heck not.
- The Great Escape - I haven't seen this movie in over 20 years, meaning that I was about 7 or 8 when I saw it. Been meaning to pick it up before today, just never have. Looking forward to it.
- Willard - I've never seen this supposedly super-creepy remake, but I imagine it to be a near perfect role for freakshow Crispin Glover. Speaking of Michael Jackson...
- The Langoliers - Another classic Shephen King Made for TV movie. I remember being blown away by the special effects back in the day. That, and it has Balki. Sounds like a win win.
- Primal Fear - I've actually never seen this either. When I read Mr. DVDJunky RECO this film in the "Psycopath" post a few days ago, I knew the time had come to give it a watch. I'm expecting big things.
- The Town - I saw this a while back, and liked it, but didn't love it. People around here seem to enjoy it, so I'm giving it another shot.
...and now, the Pièce de résistance... Girls, Guns and G-Strings: The Andy Sidaris Collection This was a
RAD from the most awesome Duals902. He and our resident Bewbs Expert beav0901dm were watching this in the chat room one night, and I felt sad and left out. Lo and Behold, this showed up at my doorstep a few days later. Pretty stoked to watch these masterpieces of modern cinema in all their glory with you fine gents.
Pee-Wee is pretty excited too... ಠ_ಠ submitted by Thinandbony to dvdcollection [link] [comments]
May 6, 2015 - Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
Director: Danny Leiner
Starting: John Cho, Kal Penn
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle follows the life-changing (and mind-altering) journey of Korean-American investment banker Harold (John Cho) and Indian-American medical-school candidate Kumar (Kal Penn). Both underdogs, Harold and Kumar decide to spend what would have been an otherwise uneventful Friday night satisfying an oddly intense urge for White Castle hamburgers. However, finding a White Castle proves a highly difficult task, and the two friends wind up on an epic road trip of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling, and enough half-baked, politically incorrect philosophizing to outweigh a White Castle value meal.

Elf Voted Greatest Christmas Film Of All Time
This is the best tl;dr I could make,
original reduced by 43%. (I'm a bot)
In fact it was listicle website Ranker, who gave Will Ferrell's Christmas comedy the prestigious title of 'The Best PG Christmas Movie'.
If you ask me, Elf ranks as one of Ferrell's worst films, I love the guy but sometimes you have to call it like it is.
Weirdly enough Elf was directed by actor Jon Favreau, who was responsible for the first two Iron Man films - basically, without him, we wouldn't have the current incarnation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so I guess I'll give him a pass for directing Elf.
If we're talking the best ever Christmas films for kids though; the aforementioned The Nightmare Before Christmas and Jingle All The Way with Arnold Schwarzenegger should be high on that list.
I can only assume your taste is a bit more mature, so if you're after a more r-rated Christmas flick, I'd say you can't go wrong with Bad Santa, A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas or Scrooged, starring the legend, Bill Murray.
Fun fact: according to IMDb when Ferrell was filming Elf in New York, he was inadvertently responsible for 'several minor traffic accidents' as he walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.

IJW: The Interview (2014)
http://screenhooked.com/2014/12/25/the-interview/ Seth Rogen, Even Goldberg and James Franco have had an unusual year to say the least. After being threatened by Kim Jong Un, having their distributing company hacked, and having their film pulled from theaters, The Interview is now available to stream on YouTube and Google Play, and it’s getting a limited release in theaters. You all know the premise by now. Dave Skylark (Franco) is a pop culture news talk show host who is seen as an incompetent journalist by his peers. Aaron (Rogen), his executive producer, wants his show to have serious cultural value. When they discover Kim Jong Un (Randall Park) is a fan of Skylark, the two go to North Korea for an interview, and CIA Agent Lacey (Lizzy Caplan) recruits them to assassinate him.
Something I should start with that everyone should already know: This is a comedy directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The expectations for this should not be as high as they are, because it’s easy for this movie to be overshadowed by the controversy it has created. Honestly, this isn’t really their best work. It’s a ballsy move for sure, but once you get past the concept, the movie is pretty basic.
It starts out with the greatest cameo I could have asked for, but that’s my own personal bias talking, and this is one thing I’d rather not spoil. After that, the comedy goes downhill for me. Franco is more annoying than funny, and Rogen is forced to play the mostly-straight-man. Caplan is incredibly underused as the CIA sort of disappears for a third of the film. The assassination is more or less a subplot in a story of bonding and betrayal between Skylark and Kim.
The film suffers from the same problems as 2012’s The Dictator. There could have been more time spent satirizing both the American and the North Korean governments, but instead we get the same dick and shit jokes we’d find in a Harold and Kumar movie. The Interview is essentially Dave and Aaron Go to Pyongyang. Aaron’s romance with Sook (Diana Bang), a high ranking official of North Korea, was interesting and weirdly believable. Franco’s love for Lord of the Rings references sticks out like a couple of severed fingers, and Katy Perry’s Firework continues to be one of the most overplayed pop songs of the decade.
If there’s a shiny part of this over-hyped turd, it’s Randall Park, who should be given minor award consideration for his hilarious, but humanizing, portrayal of Kim Jong Un. Other than that it’s semi-predictable. Goldberg and Rogen have a talent for making their films have the ending everyone expects, but throwing endless twists and turns on otherwise formulaic plots that turn them into 2-hour themed sketch shows. That’s not a bad thing, either. I really enjoyed this movie, but The Interview might have been better if it took itself more seriously with its concept.
The Interview was sort of destined to fail given the amount of publicity it has gotten over the last couple of weeks. I do hope the success of this movie starts a trend of online releases. As enjoyable as the movie might be, there are too many instances of stupidity and easy fixes for the convenience of plot or cheap laughs for me to say I loved it. I’m surprised by the small amount of laughs given from scenes outside of the trailers. I can recommend The Interview for Rogen and Franco fans, but not for anyone who wants to see a smart political satire. Hell, watch it for the sake of pissing off North Korea. Merry Christmas everyone!

IJW: The Night Before (2015)
http://screenhooked.com/2015/12/03/the-night-before/ Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg take time off from causing international incidents to bring us a nice holiday family flick. On Christmas Eve, 2001, Ethan (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) lost his parents to a drunk driver, and every Christmas Eve since has been spent with his best friends Isaac (Rogen), Chris (Anthony Mackie), and copious amounts of drugs and alcohol. Now that Isaac and his wife (Jillian Bell) are having a child, and Chris is a famous football player, the time has come to end their tradition, and Ethan manages to secure tickets to a Christmas party of mythical proportions.
As far as stoner comedies go, it had everything it needed. Lots of drugs, decent trip humor, and a bonding experience for all to enjoy. But when compared to other prominent pieces of the genre like the Harold and Kumar movies, you can point out things they did better, except those came in long trip scenes with some crazy montages. The Night Before provides short bursts of trip humor from Rogen, which I grew tiresome of at some points, but a lot of the jokes really stick the landing.
Usually the best part of a Rogen/Goldberg picture is a celebrity cameo, but those here did not land nearly as well as the Eminem cameo at the opening of The Interview. That being said, the ones they used were solid. The subplots surrounding the three friends were sort of dragged out a little too long, and Mackie has multiple stories of which we only get bits and pieces. Rogen’s church visit, which we all saw in the trailers, would have been much funnier fresh.
The real star of the show is Gordon-Levitt, who I was rooting for the entire time, but his story gets bogged down by not being able to explain himself on the spot, which drags out the movie an extra 10-15 minutes. I seriously would have enjoyed this movie a hell of a lot more if the climactic sing-a-long was more successful, because I was waiting for it to end after sincerely enjoying the first 90 minutes or so.
The film often hearkens back to classic Christmas movies such as A Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, and Die Hard. This compound of Christmas-Stoner-Comedy manages to be clever, somewhat heartfelt and laugh-out-loud funny. While it intentionally derails itself for a time, the story is easy to follow. Though predictable at times, The Night Before makes for a wonderful Christmas movie for you and your friends to watch and bro-out.
