Oddly self centered and inflated sense of importance.

I miss the show. Rewatching clips and one of the insults made me yelp: "Jonah with money. It's like if Hitler could fly." It's from the Silicon Valley episode.

A final fail by team Selina. In an earlier episode she dictated a list of people not to invite to her own funeral, to Gary.

When she was dead, the do-not-invite list got misused as the guest list, so people she did not want to see all came and sat in the front row, including Hugh, Laura, and Doyle.

So much so Mike commented that Selina showed a final gesture of reaching across the aisle.

I love Parks and Recreation. I love political thrillers I thought why not give Veep I try because it’s great to hear it has swept the Emmy awards every year it was on so we will see.

Catherine is such a hypocrite in Veep.

During the China negotiations episode, she gets all self-righteous and angry with Selina when she finds out about the negotiations. But in the next scene, she’s perfectly happy hanging out with her father. This man has repeatedly cheated on Selina, scammed her, and now seems to be preparing to scam Catherine with that ridiculous “rainforest resort” deal.

This really made Catherine frustrating as a character. She was quick to judge Selina for her questionable decisions, but somehow manages to overlook her own father’s long history of utter dishonesty and betrayal. Selina’s political manoeuvring into freeing Tibet is apparently unforgivable, but her father’s personal and financial manipulation is something she can conveniently look past?

The irony is that Catherine seems to hold Selina to a much higher moral standard than she holds her own father to, despite having plenty of reasons to distrust him. It’s not that Selina is innocent or that her behaviour shouldn’t be criticised, but Catherine’s selective outrage is genuinely hard to defend after a point in the show.

Honestly, Selina’s treatment of Catherine makes a lot more sense when you consider their relationship in this context. Catherine can be self-righteous, judgmental, and remarkably oblivious to the hypocrisy within her own family.

On sale for $29.99 just in case you haven’t picked it up digitally. I originally owned it just on Fandango, but now I have it on Apple so it’s easier to watch internationally. It hasn’t been $29.99 since 6/25/20 and matches the all-time low price. This is only the second time it’s been this low on apple. If you’ve been waiting to purchase it digitally, I think now is a good time.

I was blanking out on Stephen Fry’s name so I googled “sea cucumber guy from Veep” because of course I did. And the AI hallucination was kind of hilarious.

It’s like my 8th time watching the series and this scene still cracks me up so much!!! But I didn’t notice before Huge’s laugh and I feel like for a brief moment he was genuinely amused and couldn’t contain himself hahaha
Edit: stupid auto-correct!!! But I feel like this sort of mistake is appropriate for the discussions about this show anyway so I will leave it there in the title

She’s just so on board with every ridiculous thing Jonah says, echoes his insanity and mirrors him in a hilarious way. He can’t get over how hot he thinks she is and she’s got his back, and it’s great!

When I saw this missed call earlier, I couldn't help but chuckle.

I am VEEP head, i’ve watched it three times now . But I cringe everytime I get to this episode where Selina’s mom dies and she calls the Indian doctor Dr McCurry. VEEP is usually very smart with their racial jokes, but this one felt like it came from the first of a groyper comment section. What’re your thoughts?

This one happened about an hour into the movie A Simple Plan from 1999.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor Bakkedahl. He's been in tons of things, including VEEP, THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART, LIFE IN PIECES, SPACE FORCE, MADE FOR LOVE, THE GOLDBERGS, LEGIT, THE HEAT, and THE STUNT DRIVER.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 6 PM ET tomorrow, Wednesday 10/7, to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

His new movie, ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES: ORGANIC INTELLIGENCE, is out on digital today. It's the 5th installment of the classic comedy-horror franchise.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aevSjhGMhQ

Synopsis: In 1978, ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES tried to warn the world (Dillon insists it was a documentary!). Now, decades later, the tomatoes have outsmarted their corporate masters, the military, and even the notorious Professor Gangreen (John Astin). Finletter's aging team of "Guardianes" seems to be all that stands in the way of certain doom when even the best of AI is defeated by the tomatoes' "Organic Intelligence." But Wilbur Finletter is the last to realize it is time for a new generation to master the ancient art of managing the eternal Killer Tomato menace.

Anyone have a comprehensive list???

... and so far it's a fantastically made series, with razor-sharp wit, but what surprised me was how truly unlikable most of the characters are, to the point where I actively hate them without even laughing at many of their snarky jokes.

I remember people complaining that the later seasons made Selina too evil and stuff like that, but holy hell, I hated her by the second season. She is one of the most monstrous narcissists I've seen since Walter White. Currently at season 5 and she just keeps getting worse. Not to mention that the people around her are also scummy as hell, especially Dan.

To be clear, the show is brilliantly written, everyone's giving an amazing performance, and I know that people have said that this is quite accurate to how actual politics work. And if the latter is true, this show really adds fuel for my inner misanthrope.

So I've never got the idea that the show was supposed to be a mockumentary akin to The Office, Parks and Rec, etc but after rewatching this week I've noticed several times characters looking directly into the camera almost in a recognizing fashion. I first noticed around the time Katherine starts her doc and explained it away that it was her camera as the POV but in the other scenes besides that, Katherine isn't involved at all. Has anyone else noticed this?

Who did this?!
