Actually crying that Richard Erdman can’t be in the movie. I really hope they make at least some reference to him / his character because he was such a weirdly wonderful part of the show and has had such an intense career

COMMUNITY REWATCH, 2x06: "Epidemiology"

-HALLOWEEN EPISODE!!!!

-Why is George Takai doing the voiceover for this episode?

-Well, this Halloween party definitely looks better than season one's.

-I forgot Dean Pelton was dressed Gaga. He looks great.

-Britta as a dinosaur is so cute. I love that they gave Gillian the cutest costumes last season and this season.

-Annie as Little Red Riding Hood is also really cute.

-Okay, Shirley is clearly dressed like Glinda from The Wizard of Oz, but I get the Miss Piggy joke since she is talking like her.

-Rich from Pottery class? I genuinely don't remember him coming back into the show.

-Is Abed and Troy's costume supposed to be Alien related?

-How did the taco meat turn Pierce into a zombie?!?!

-Love the Halloween intro.

-How do you guys not realize that everyone is turning into Zombies?

-I can't believe Troy just put some toilet paper around his neck and wrist and decided he was a "sexy Dracula".

-Rich, Annie, now is not the time to be flirting.

-Dean Pelton please stop being attracted to the disembodied voice on the phone.

-I love how even in zombie mode, Leonard leaves Shirley alone when she threatens him.

-Annie: "There's some kind of infection at the party making people act weird and bite each other. We need to coordinate an evacuation without causing unnecessary panic." *cut to leonard biting someone* Troy: "Holy crap, Leonard's a zombie." Well, there went that idea.

-*dean pelton locks the doors to the library so no one can leave* Jeff: (pulling on the door) "um? UM?"

-*jeff punches a lady dressed as a bee* Troy: "You punched a lady bee!"

-Troy: "Shouldn't we be barricading the room?" Abed: "I don't know. These guys don't seem so-" *looks out the window to see a bunch of hungry zombies* "I will help you."

-*shows rich checking to see if he was bit and he was* God damn it, Rich!!

-Britta was bit, too? And neither of them told because they thought they were special?!?!?!

-God damn it, Chang! Why would you throw the skate?! Now they have Annie, and you let them into the only place that might have been safe to hide from the zombies!

-Side note, the soundtrack for this episode is quite good.

-How did Shirley and Chang correctly guessing what the other's costume was turn into a make out session?

-*three cat jump scares* Jeff: "What is up with that cat?!" Troy: "Is someone throwing it?" Abed: "Let's keep moving." Jeff: "Let's not keep moving because there is an insane cat down here." Troy: "But what about the zombies?" Jeff: "Back burner, Troy. This cat has to be dealt with."

-*jeff getting attacked by zombies, but sees rich in his suit jacket* Jeff: "That's my jacket! My jacket, you're stretching it! You're stretching it!!" Even while being eaten Jeff cares about his fashion.

-Abed: "Go." Troy: "I'm not going without you." Abed: "Troy, make me proud. Be the first black man to make it to the end."

-Not Troy and Abed with the Leia and Han reference!

-I can't believe Troy just punched the Dean.

-Dean Pelton: "Are you crazy? How are you going to survive those zombies?" Troy: "I'm going to be a nerd." Dean Pelton: "Better have a Plan B!"

-Why did Troy spank Pierce?

-Troy: "Okay, okay. I've been bit, y'all. Damn. Congrats. You did what zombies do." The annoyance from Troy is so funny.

-Zombie Jeff standing there messing with his phone, while Troy crawls to the thermostat and calls Jeff "cool" is so good.

-I love the fact that Troy and Abed still do their handshake as zombies.

-Zombie Annie studying is so ridiculous.

-I can't believe that Jeff comes out of his zombie state and immediately starts actually texting.

-Were they about to kill Dean Pelton?

-So, they erased their memories?

-Still wondering why George Takai is doing the voiceover.

-Chang leaving a voicemail so that someone would know he slept with Shirley is so funny.

-Troy: "Why did he call me?" Valid question Troy.

The Stooge

"The Stooge" captivates with its layered narrative, soulful performances, and timeless charm, earning a well-deserved recommendation as a classic gem deserving more recognition among cinematic treasures.

Over 9 hours over Martin and Lewis and 6 movies has finally brought me to my FAVORITE of their films. Norman Taurog returns as director for the 1953 released black and white, dramatic musical comedy “The Stooge,” though the film was completed in 1951 before bother “Sailor Beware” (1952) and “Jumping Jacks” (1952). Out of all of the movies they collaborated on, this is the closet we’ll see to what…

Stalag 17

Stalag 17 (1953) starring William Holden, Otto Preminger [Opening narration] Cookie: I don’t know about you, but it always makes me sore when I see those war pictures… all about flying leathernecks and submarine patrols and frogmen and guerillas in the Philippines. What gets me is that there never w-was a movie about POWs – about prisoners of war. Now, my name is Clarence Harvey Cook: they call…

Okay so haven't posted Community commentary commentary in a little while but. Just watched the track for Introduction to Teaching and apparently Jonathan Banks actually was kind of aggressive, shouted at several writers and really said the thing about punching someone in the heart, like that was something they took and turned into a line for Hickey?! And apparently he had real beef with Richard Erdman because he goofs off and makes funny faces between takes, and Jonathan Banks disapproved of that?! Holy shit they just couldn't keep real life subtext out of that show for a second

What if britta and subway/honda/new brand are together in the movie?

I'd adore seeing background characters be back in the movie. Vicky, Garrett, Fat Neil, Todd, (Leonard would've been nice. R.I.P Richard Erdman) and Subway is one of them. I think It'd be really funny if they made him another brand, or maybe some sort of influencer. I mean, an average movie is 2 hours or so, so they're going to have a LOT of time to make a bunch of references to the original TV show. God, I'm getting so excited just thinking of it.

Now, I don't think Britta's going to be with Subway in the movie. Would it be in-character that she saw him and got obsessed with him AGAIN? Maybe. But I don't think that's happening. It's really probable that we don't even get Subway in the movie. It would be funny, but not a great look on her already not great character. I swear, if they don't fix Britta when the movie comes out... my girl DESERVES to be a girlboss. In S6, she literally shits her pants. SHE SHITS. HER PANTS. Don't even get me started on that. I've already talked about that Britta's character here here and here. I know that I might sound like a hater in some of these, but trust me, I love Britta with all my heart and she's my favorite female character from Community.

Back to the subject: Would it be funny if Subway and Britta were together? Yeah, kinda. Would it actually be good for Britta's character? Definitely not. Is Dan Harmon going to do either this or Troy x Britta just to get away with Jeffannie? Maybe. But, in the end, the most likely thing is that we won't get any ship being canon.

I definitely didn't except this ask. AT ALL. Lmao

William Holden in Stalag 17 (Billy Wilder, 1953)

Cast: William Holden, Don Taylor, Otto Preminger, Robert Strauss, Harvey Lembeck, Richard Erdman, Peter Graves, Neville Brand, Sig Ruman, Edmund Trczinski,. Screenplay: Billy Wilder, Edwin Blum, based on a play by Donald Bevan and Edmund Trzcinski. Cinematography: Ernest Laszlo. Art direction: Franz Bachelin, Hal Pereira. Film editing: George Tomasini. Music: Franz Waxman.

After their success with Sunset Blvd. (1950), Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett went their separate ways. They had been one of the most successful teams in Hollywood history since 1938, when they began collaborating as screenwriters, and then as a producer (Brackett), director (Wilder), and co-writer team starting with Five Graves to Cairo in 1943. But Wilder decided that he wanted to be a triple-threat: producer, director, and writer. His first effort in this line, Ace in the Hole (1951), was, however, a commercial flop -- now regarded as a classic. So he seems to have decided to go for the sure thing: film versions of plays that had been Broadway hits and therefore had a built-in attraction to audiences. His next three movies, Stalag 17, Sabrina (1954), and The Seven Year Itch (1955), all fell into this category. But what Wilder really needed was a steady writing collaborator, which he didn't find until 1957, when he teamed up with I.A.L. Diamond for the first time on Love in the Afternoon. The collaboration hit pay dirt in 1959 with Some Like It Hot, and won Wilder his triple-threat Oscar with The Apartment (1960). Which is all to suggest that Stalag 17 appeared while Wilder was in a kind of holding pattern in his career. It's not a particularly representative work, given its origins on stage which bring certain expectations from those who saw it there and also from those who want to see a reasonable facsimile of the stage version. The play, set in a German P.O.W. camp in 1944, was written by two former inmates of the titular prison camp, Donald Bevan and Edmund Trczinski. In revising it, Wilder built up the character of the cynical Sgt. Sefton (William Holden), partly to satisfy Holden, who had walked out of the first act of the play on Broadway. Sefton is in many ways a redraft of Holden's Joe Gillis in Sunset Blvd., worldly wise and completely lacking in sentimentality, a character type that Holden would be plugged into for the rest of his career, and it won him the Oscar that he probably should have won for that film. But it's easy to see why Holden wanted the role beefed up, because Stalag 17 is the kind of play and movie that it's easy to get lost in: an ensemble with a large all-male cast, each one eager to make his mark. Harvey Lembeck and Robert Strauss, as the broad comedy Shapiro and "Animal," steal most of the scenes -- Strauss got a supporting actor nomination for the film -- and Otto Preminger as the camp commandant and Sig Ruman as the German Sgt. Schulz carry off many of the rest. The cast even includes one of the playwrights, Edmund Trczinski, as "Triz," the prisoner who gets a letter from his wife, who claims that he "won't believe it," but an infant was left on her doorstep and it looks just like her. Triz's "I believe it," which he obviously doesn't, becomes a motif through the film. Bowdlerized by the Production Code, Stalag 17 hasn't worn well, despite Holden's fine performance, and it's easy to blame it for creating the prison-camp service comedy genre, which reached its nadir in the obvious rip-off Hogan's Heroes, which ran on TV for six seasons, from 1965 to 1971.

What a Character: Richard Erdman in CRY DANGER

Richard Erdman in CRY DANGER for the #WhatACharacter Blogathon

Richard Erdman was born June 1, 1925, in Enid, Oklahoma, and was raised in Colorado Springs. After his high school drama teacher told him that he might have what it take for movies, he and his mom moved to California, where he enrolled in Hollywood High. While still a teenager, he was offered and accepted a contract with a seven-year contract with Warner Brothers. Erdman racked up 177 credits in…

COMMUNITY REWATCH, 2x05: "Messianic Myths and Ancient Peoples"

-So, Duncan is just spending class time showing YouTube videos?

-I love how confused Pierce is by every video they watch, but hate how sad Shirley is.

-How come Britta is in charge of Pierce's diet?

-Oh no, Pierce is going to start hanging out with Leonard and his friends, isn't he? *sigh* This isn't going to be good.

-Oh Abed, this sounds incredibly complicated.

-That sound cue for "Abed" is so funny.

-Leonard: "Shut your mouth down, fruit." Dean Pelton: "Oh, hey, unacceptable and none of your business, and barely the whole truth." That was more than I needed to know, but I also have questions.....

-Pierce: "Excuse me, mister." Dean Pelton: "What Pierce?" Pierce: "What year is it?" DEAN PELTON YOU KNOW PIERCE! HOW COULD YOU FALL FOR THIS?!?!

-Britta: "Oops, Freudian slip. Perhaps due to my feeling dopey." Shirley: "Do the line, atheist." Damn Shirley.

-I love how you can tell how much Troy and Britta don't want to do this.

-God, I love Abed's costume for his Jesus movie.

-Of course, Chang is involved in Abed's movie.

-The chorus of "Abed" as he is lifted into the air.

-The fact that everyone is so immersed in Abed's movie is both hilarious and ridiculous.

-Damn, that woman was a bit harsh. You don't need to talk to Shirley like that, especially when Shirley is right.

-I love how Jeff and Britta start acting like Pierce's parents.

-Them all screaming in the car and then it cuts to the outside of the car to show the slowest crash ever is hilarious!!!!!

-Abed hating his film is so good.

-Shirley beating up all the equipment with the baseball bat to destroy the movie as a way to answer Abed's prayers is fantastic, but also how does she not get in trouble for destroying school property?

-Jeff acting like a disappointed father picking up his son from jail is great.

-This was a good Abed/Shirley episode.

-This ending scene is so dumb.
