Curb Your Enthusiasm is the most unusual and spontaneously funny show on TV. It is so brutally honest and argumentative.
Background: I am a huge Seinfeld fan. I grew up with the show, not only the new episodes, but also the re-runs. My family dinners growing up included Seinfeld reruns. The show changed my life and shaped my adulthood. I was 13 when the show came on the air and 22 when it went off the air. It was the first show I truly connected with.
Curb is a natural evolution of the ideals of Seinfeld. It lacks the element of New York but it adds the elements of being quasi-documentary and Hollywood insider-ness (not to mention the element of being on HBO). The new season starts next month and reports have been rampant that the season will feature a Fab Four of Seinfeld reunion. Now it turns out that not only will all four appear together but the story line that brings them together is a Seinfeld reunion.
The idea is that on Curb, throughout the whole season, Larry and Jerry will be writing, planning, and filming a Seinfeld reunion. Jerry, Julia, Michael, and Jason will appear in four to five episodes of Curb this season. Click here to read E!'s story. I think this will be the definition of Must See TV.
The Game, the Michael Douglas movie, was on the other night and it got me thinking...how un-re-watchable is that movie? The whole movie is the surprise. It is a good, arguably great, movie, but its re-watchability is zero for me.
It got me thinking about what were the best movies that are un-rewatchable.
Here are three that came to me pretty quickly:
- The Game
- The Usual Suspects
- The Sixth Sense
Finally, HBO on demand finally added HD! What the hell could have took so long?
