But when will the thread start tasting like burgers?

 

[Brian Griffin]

Never heard of the movie or TV show until now but the trailer looks good and the cast is awesome.

Now a question: Is this a good movie to watch while high? My wife and daughter are out of town so I'm looking to get stoned tonight.

The movie is great to watch whenever. But it only gets better on repeat viewings.

Yes. Movie is completely random and crazy. I watched it last month and loved it. Made me excited for the show.

Sweet. I'm sold.

 

[inm8num2]

I'll pencil this into my trapper-keeper.

 

[Bread]

[xxracerxx]

Can't wait to hack off a slice of that long breezy dick.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

i'll make it my beezwax to be there!

 

[LProtag]

I wonder if they're going to write out all the prominent characters who don't show up in the movie, like Jason Schwartzman. He looks like he has a pretty large role.

I'm so excited for this.

 

[PROh1bited]

Will you help teach me, about this....what is it? A new way?

Interesting article on the original film and how it lead to the series.

Some cast members said that other stars were on set for as little as one day and that green-screen technology was sometimes used to make it appear as if two actors were in the same scene together.

In the meantime, Ms. Garofalo said she hoped the TV series would be embraced more quickly than the movie. “I don’t have that long,” she said. “I’m 50. I don’t want to wait until I’m 65 to hear about it.”

I just saw the extended trailer. This has to be one of the most star-studded line-ups for any TV show ever. The additional guest list is ridiculous on top of a main cast that went on to become some of the biggest names in Hollywood. I was smiling the whole trailer and I am super fucking pumped for this,

 

[BlackGhost]

Trailer was good, excite!

On top of all the names we know about, there's also one super secret guest star that no one will speak about. The improv/sketch crowd has friends everywhere, all willing to play when they've got the time.

Steve Martin or Bill Murray incoming?

 

[flatearthpandas]

Oh damn, didn't realize this was legit. Need to check this out.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

The 31st is so far away

 

[vatstep]

I already have next weekend planned around this.

 

[TripOpt55]

Just rewatched the movie. So ridiculous and funny. Can't wait for this!

 

[xenist]

The movie that brought us the best training montage ever is back!

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

The movie that brought us the best training montage ever is back!

It is pretty good, but nothing beats Rocky IV's training montage.

 

[Discotheque]

The movie that brought us the best training montage ever is back!

but it took from the rocky 3 training montage. i gotta admit though it uses an amazing song that would have fit right into the rocky movies.

It is pretty good, but nothing beats Rocky IV's training montage.

the GOAT. bearded rocky is best rocky. really excited to watch this series btw. jason schwartzman, kristen wiig and jon hamm especially sound like really good/obvious additions to the cast.

Sorry, but you're both wrong.

My man.

I hope they utilize them well, most of the new faces are good picks but hope it they aren't just there for "hey we cast these popular funny people too!" kind of roles. Hamm can be damn funny so looking forward to seeing him.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

So I saw on the Netflix browser site a flash ad last night for this that mentioned the first episode airs on the 31st, so are all 8 not going up simultaneously? Thought that was the case.

 

[Jme]

I hope they give the option of audio in English, or English with Extra Farts.

I just saw the movie for the first time. I need this series.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

This is a thing?! I need it :U

Beat me to it.

I am losing my shit and no one else has noticed this.

I'd ignore it. All of their publicity other than their in-app stuff says "All Episode July 31", including clips they've posted today.

 

[BertramCooper]

Honestly, I think the movie is overrated, but I'm still pretty excited for this.

Everyone is so much younger and so much hotter.

 

[Bacon]

God damn this cast is so fucking good. Very excited for this, it cracks me up that it is a prequel series.

 

[Ketch]

The movie is great! It nails the camp humor

 

[GK86]

For the two people with 4K HDTVs, the series was shot in 4K.

 

[inm8num2]

New featurette

 

[Kanye]

Watched the movie yesterday and I'm expecting the show to be better.

 

[LogicStep]

Never heard of this. Saw it on the Netflix banner, guess I'll have to watch the movie before I go in on this. The movie goes by the same name?

 

[kingocfs]

Watched the movie yesterday and I'm expecting the show to be better.

Can something be better than perfect?

 

[LaneDS]

Yo get some David Wain in that OP, OP.

 

[Pejo]

Going to rewatch the movie this week in anticipation. I'm really excited to see this.
