The TV thread

Robert Evans is one of the all-time capital letter "Characters" in Hollywood history, and the focus of a great bit in Patton Oswalt's standup. (NSFW.) I've read his book, "The Kid Stays in the Picture," and it's as amazing as Patton says. So, I haven't checked out The Offer yet, but I will be simply because Evans is a character in it, haha.

 

That's one of my favorite Patton bits. "You know what Diane Keaton's pussy tastes like after it's been soaking in apple juice? Falcons-Packers on ESPN! Catch it!"

 

It's so easy to fall down a rabbit hole of Evans and Evans-impersonator clips. Someone has cut together video clips of Evans on YouTube, and the very first thing is an unhinged commercial for the MTV Video Music Awards that's in the style described by Patton:

Bob Odenkirk is also known for doing an impression of Evans. First, as God on Mr. Show, and then just in general.

 

His IMDB picture is something else. I never thought I'd see someone more tan than George Hamilton.

Fucker rivals the old lady with the dog in There's Something About Mary.

 

Odenkirk praised Evans throughout his memoir.

 

The ability of Evans to take credit for every single good thing about The Godfather is almost Trumpian.

 

Watched both parts of the George Carlin documentary on HBO. It’s absolutely fantastic.

Pretty sure I’ve seen all of his specials. This has so many other TV clips and interviews and home archive material.

 

The first time I heard it I couldn’t breathe.

 

It's an all-timer of a CD. I believe it also has Tom Carvel, and the bit about European pornography.

 

Barry is quite dark this season.

They've went from dark comedy in first two seasons to... just dark.

 

Yeah, I agree. Also, I’m not interested in it anymore

 

Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix....

To quote the sage... "It ain't bad, but it ain't good."
