Is Danny McBride as much to blame as DGG? - The Exorcist: Believer (2023) Discussion

McBride is to horror what Seth Rogen is to nostalgic children's cartoons. They can't do raunchy comedies anymore so they do...this.

Disagree. Vice Principals and Righeteous Gemstones are great

I can't say I've seen those, the only TV series I liked with McBride was Eastbound and Down.

You may enjoy Vice Principals and The Righteous Gemstones. It's right in line with East Bound and Down.

Righteous gemstones is hilarious. I've not seen vice principals or Eastbound but I added both to my watchlist since I love gemstones so much

Why can’t they do raunchy comedies anymore?

reply

[–] LeWildPlatypus (772) a year ago

I suppose the formula became a bit stale. I'm not sure comedies in the style of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Knocked Up, This is the End etc would be popular with todays crowd.

Because now in addition to right-wing puritans, the U.S. is simultaneously under attack by left wing puritans. Both groups are notorious for having no sense of humor.

too true, and both sides always think they know what's best for those of us trapped between them

Danny McBride is a joke and a terrible actor. A Jew hang around in hopes of fame.

What does him being Jewish have to do with anything?

reply

[–] Lord Rake (4536) a year ago

I think he's referring to him hanging around jews in hopes to achieve fame himself. Mcbride is not very jewish, but if he's only hanging around jews for personal gain and not for genuine friendship that is wrong.

Hollywood is all about connections, Jew or not.

McBride is pretty good when it comes to writing and acting in comedies - he is bad at writing horror though

McBride helped wrote an Exorcist sequel?! Oh man

reply

[–] Creamofdacrop884 (2385) a year ago

He helped write all the Halloween movies too

reply

[–] [deleted] a year ago

Halloween 2018 was good.

The sequels didn't work for me.

Let's hope there's some learning from this. Otherwise they'll both be left out of good opportunities.
