Comments on: HBO’s Eastbound & Down Trailer and Premiere Date http://www.filmjunk.com/2009/01/13/hbos-eastbound-down-trailer-and-premiere-date/ Blog and Podcast Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:46:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Goon http://www.filmjunk.com/2009/01/13/hbos-eastbound-down-trailer-and-premiere-date/comment-page-1/#comment-542395 Goon Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:13:35 +0000 http://www.filmjunk.com/?p=14589#comment-542395 One thing that I hope is going to happen now seeing this second ep is that the characters remain kind of goofy and detestable, and that some are essentially still the same one dimensional characters - yet that spending a lot of time with these types of characters gives you hints of more rather than an explosion of more. I mean, think of all the people in your life that seem like they don't have a personality, who are maybe just either shy, extremely shallow, or awkward around people. This is one area where sometimes comedies and satire feel like real life, because most serious dramas aren't going to touch on a quiet harmless weirdo or someone that is just a lying egotistical asshole.

Agreed, the second episode was also solid. Actually I think David Gordon Green did most of the episodes aside from the pilot because Jody Hill was busy directing Observe & Report.

David Gordon Green directed this one, I wonder if there'll be another surprise directors if they'll stick with that tandem. 2nd one was good.

Loved it. I agree in wondering how many eps you can make with a character like that, but for now its gold. Yeah, it was awesome. Loved it.

We'll see if they can maintain it over a series, but if you liked The Foot Fist Way, I think you'll definitely like this. Yeah I thought the pilot was hilarious.
