by Ryland Walker Knight —No exit Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip [Joe Layton, 1982] # So dark, so perfect, so hilarious. So hard to be good at standup. You can watch it online over here , but we watched it on cable. We all fell over a lot. Mon oncle d'Amérique [Alain Resnais, 1980] Didactic, sure, but most of it's a joke. Resnais lets Henri Laborit play "sage" but the...

Saying you still love Eddie Murphy is the last taboo. But stick with me ... For all that blogging has, at least partly, grown up around saying the unsayable, that is not the point of what follows. I am not here to defend the intentions behind Norbit, or reclaim The Adventures of Pluto Nash as a landmark in cult cinema. I will, however, gladly state that the star of each is capable of greatness. Yes,...

You know, if it wasn’t so sadly prophetic for the United States that my children will inherit, this would be the funniest thing since Richard Pryor. The REAL Commie MOFOs are questioning the wanna-be. It’s a parody wrapped in a farce shrouded in irony…with apologies to Winston Churchill China questions costs of U.S. healthcare reform Posted in Barry [...]

After heart surgery and seven years away from the stage, comedian Robin Williams is ready to storm Broadway with his one-man show It takes some confidence to extend the Broadway run of your one-man show before opening night, especially a few months after undergoing heart surgery. But then Robin Williams has never been short of nerve. His lengthy career is due in equal measure to the fearless nature...

There are comedians that I think are not funny. Yet because of certain roles or events, they are forever deemed funny. For example I don't think Eddie Murphy is funny. I think he's a good actor, and I've enjoyed his movies, but I don't find him really funny. His stand up special was pretty funny about 20 years ago, but what have you done for me lately? I do not think Robin Williams is funny. I did...

Here's Richard Pryor on A Kraft Music Hall special in 1964. How old could he have been at the time? An early look at one of the most influential comedians of our time. I'm trying to find a good skit from his 4 episode Richard Pryor Show on ABC from 1977. The cast included a young Robin Williams and Sandra Bernhard. There is a piece on YouTube called The First Black President which I would have liked...

The last great hope for a resurgence in the career of Eddie Murphy seemed to be the Richard Pryor biopic. While Murphy playing Pryor is basically too obvious to happen (he arguably owes his entire career to Pryor's influence) doing so could have brought the actor up out of the career sewer in which he's been flailing around for some time. It's one thing to make money-grubbing films like Meet Dave and...
