Jon Lovitz is my new hero
« on: July 17, 2007, 04:00:06 pm »
Oh, who am I kidding, he's always been my hero.  But now that he beat the crap out of Andy Dick I feel like I need to find him and shake his hand/buy him a beer.

Wow.  That almost makes up for the awful Subway commercials.

Damn.  I had no idea Dick was so aptly named.  I found his character on News Radio amusing.

Yeah, I cut him a lot of slack for a long time because he was associated with The Second Best Show Ever On Television, but the more I hear about him as a person, the more I just want him to go ahead and overdose already.

Hearing him on the commentaries just makes me like the character less, unfortunately. For anybody out there wondering, the NewsRadio commentaries are actually pretty bad and not really worth the time.

Wow, I've always hated Jon Lovitz (in that way that you hate people you don't know who do things better than you but not as well as you've come to expect).  It's good to know he can do more than one thing.

Dude's The Critic and... that's all I need to know.

Jon Lovitz rocks for being The Critic. He would basically have to try and exterminate an ethnic group for me to dislike the guy who gave us The Critic. Maybe the most underrated half-hour comedy of all time.

This said, a buddy of mine worked on "Less Than Perfect" and said that Andy Dick was one of the few actors on that set who WASN'T a colossal douchebag, who was spacey and flakey but basically a nice guy who didn't mistreat the assistants and stuff.

That other than the fact that, yes, he's a drug addict with a harem of barely-legal boys, he's a solid guy as actors go and... all the really outlandish stuff is the dude pretending to get in the papers.

And like at least the boys actually ARE legal, y'know?

He did it to impress his wife, Morgan Fairchild.

I think it's kinda shitty to blame Dick for Hartman's death.  Is it his job to keep Hartman's wife sober?  If she hadn't gotten the coke from Dick she would have gotten it from somewhere else.  Also, is it reasonable to assume that if someone does coke they are going to go on a murder spree?

You joke too close to the bone and maybe you're going to see some blood. I've hit people 'till they pissed themselves for less.

I'm done posting around here. Jesus, he might come to my house!

I can only imagine he kicked Andy Dick's ass while shouting "Buy my book! Buy my book!"

Either way, I'm glad someone did it. I've always despised Andy Dick.

I've always been pro-Lovitz. This just confirms that the decision was the correct one.

But she didn't and there is no way to prove she would have. This post bugs me (and you know, Paul, it's not personal) because it disallows that there is any personal responsibility for an illegal and immoral act. Legality aside, if you care about a person in recovery you just don't do that sort of thing. Doing it is the selgiraffe act of a self-loathing addict who doesn't want to descend into his spiral alone. That is just plain shitty and completely disregarding of a fellow human being and a family. But some people are just that callow and empty. Boo to them.

But she did.  I'm pretty certain that's the entire basis for the conflict between the two celebrities.
