Certifiably Surly
  1. Good interview w/ the director Marina Zenovich. She's no lightweight, having done docs on Pryor, Robin Williams, Roman Polanski and mega-asshole Lance Armstrong. Here's a telling exchange from early on in the doc that really has my interest piqued: Now THAT'S the kind of intro that pulls you into a documentary. And I'm quite intrigued by how Chevy's mind must work. At 82, he knows he's sitting down to be interviewed about his life and the ups and downs of his career. The director is going to ask him about the events that shaped him & made his success possible. And his immediate response is to go into self-protection, lash out, insult, and not let anyone inside. He describes himself as an 'angry child' in an old man's body. The dude's carrying some heavy baggage. This is going to be quite the contrast to the recent doc "John Candy: I Like Me."
  2. Bill Murray's career has eclipsed Chevy's by a wide margin. But if you're limiting their impact while at SNL then sure, Chevy as a key face during the birth of a cultural phenomenon certainly had a super nova effect during his brief stint. I'm looking forward to the doc. Chevy had talent, but his addictions & demons certainly sidetracked what should have been a longer lasting, more impacting career.
  3. "This is gonna be HUGE on my socials!" They weren't wrong, unfortunately.
  4. Karen claimed she had "lots" of houses, presumably paid for by all of her followers on TikTok. She's gotta have an OnlyFans account where she's showing pictures of her butthole (with and without Sharpies inserted). I expect by Monday we'll hear she's been let go from the Realty company she works for.
  5. I never saw it--and it only aired once on Comedy Central--but the Friar's Club Roast of him in 2002 was apparently so brutal with the roasters going at him so viciously and personally they changed the format later. They tried to get friends and former co-stars to attend, but almost none of them did. Steve Martin and Martin Short sent video tributes (where they joked they couldn't be there because they were filming a sequel to the Three Amigos...without him). Al Franken and Laraine Newman did attend and went heavy on his drug addiction and anti-semitism. Franken: Newman: Stephen Colbert went off the top rope with this summary during the proceedings: Chevy was visibly upset & uncomfortable throughout the event, and reportedly broke down into a sobbing mess in the bar afterwards w/ Paul Shaffer.
  6. Did anyone catch this? It sounds like the director did a lot of work on this, and at 82 Chevy's still as arrogant and prickly as he ever was. The guy had a helluva run from the late '70s to late '80s. It's telling that for a guy who made as many bombs as he did, his hits made so much money & left such an imprint on pop culture (Ty, Clark, Dusty) that it feels like he had a lot more success. Still, it sounds like you'd be hard pressed to find a dozen people that actually like him & consider him a friend. Edit. Looks like the next airing will be this Sunday at 7PM. Recording set.
  7. @Iceman Slorch, you said in the game thread that you don't have faith in Joey M to get Tech to the promised land. Do you have a short list of coaches you'd like Campbell to give a blank check to in order to match the talent he's trying to bring to Lubbock?
  8. That article about his health/diet paints a pretty clear picture that he's sundowning & nobody in his inner circle is going to do anything to try and talk sense into him. Not that it would matter because he's spent his entire life believing he's the smartest person in any room. Will the physicians be able to prop him up for another 12-18 months?
  9. 4th down and Morton gets buried. Buh-bye, Tech. Enjoy your flight back to Lubbock.
  10. It's Tech. They'll be celebrating this season in 2045 as the greatest achievement in their program's history.
  11. Morton couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat at this point. And hey, why not a false start on 2nd and 10 just for shits & giggles?
  12. Joey staring at his iPad trying to figure out why his team is undisciplined and playing like shit. Keep scrolling, dude. You'll eventually find the answer.
  13. This thread has served one big purpose: identify booger eating morons to be put on ignore.
  14. Tech offense is ass, dude. Joey DWI is gonna have to convince Campbell to write even bigger checks to overcome his shitty coaching.
