What movies are you watching?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

a very brady sequel

I love that movie so much it's sickening.

really? i thought the first was a nice send up of the show, but the few minutes i saw of this just felt like a retread

Absolutely. It's on the list of all time favorite comedies. That movie is perfect satire and absolutely hilarious.

Funny story: I met Lloyd Schwartz (Sherwood Shawartz's son) and he absolutely HATES A Very Brady Sequel. He wanted to do a series of films that saw the Brady's in different genres. He wanted to do a Very Brady Halloween or something like that. Or put them in space. He had all kinds of dumb ideas. But he basically got told to shut up and sit down and they went ahead and made A Very Brady Sequel in the same style as the original film.

So he turned around and made the tv movie The Brady Bunch in the White House. I can't remember if it ever actually aired. But I got to see the film with him and it was legitimately one of the worst things I've ever seen. Lloyd's a weird dude and I get his frustration but he is dead wrong about A Very Brady Sequel. It's far superior to the Brady Bunch Movie and a genuinely funny film.

does lloyd hang out with paul rudd too?

After you watched this horrible Brady TV movie, did Lloyd ask you what you thought about it? How did you respond?

He did ask, yes. And I tried to be honest but not hurt his feelings. I basically said that it didn't make me laugh as much as A Very Brady Sequel but that I did see his point about how much fun you could have putting the Brady's in outlandish situations. Because that is a really funny idea. I also told him I thought it was huge that he got Gary Cole and Shelley Long to reprise their roles. I said they must really respect him to do that for him. Basically, I tried to focus on the few things I liked and minimize how terrible I thought it was.

Later that night, we were at this theater for a screening of ET. I waved to him and said hello and he came over to chat for a second. But then in the middle of the conversation he said, "oh, look at that" and walked away.

Not to my knowledge, no. Lloyd's kind of an outsider and a hanger-on. He basically just wants to make dumb film versions of all his dad's best shows. People don't have a lot of respect for the guy. He never made a real name for himself.

It was super uncomfortable but totally hilarious. My friend and I made fun of him for it but really we were relieved. The conversation was so stilted and weird until he did that. I actually give him mad props for it. Made me like him more.

what did he see that made him walk away?

He pretended to go look at this window display dedicated to Donna Reed and all her most famous roles. This was at the Donna Reed Theater in Denison Iowa. They had these huge window displays. He walked right up to the far window and put his nose right up to the glass like he was REEEEALLY looking at something. About ten seconds later he started whistling and walking toward the other entrance, the "stage door" so to speak on the side of the building.

OMG Joey, I knew you were one of the really nice guys, but now I'm thinking you might qualify for Sainthood someday.

Honestly, the guy needed a win. It was the right thing to do.
