One of the problems I see with these comics on television, particularly cable television, is, since you can say anything in terms of sex and scatological references and so on, therefore, you should do it.

Wit is what these comedians lack.

It does not say on what terms they should be transferred and what side will exercise sovereignty over them.
-
The thing we call critics are not really reviewers, they are not really critics. They don't have the discipline to write what we would term as critique - it's really just reviewers. They have a common man kind of taste. If you watch them overall, they are not different from the box-office. That's my view.

I knew that was coming. That's another stupidity. The people who use the term don't even know the meaning.
