...Isn't that a good thing? No, because if a song tells too much of the story, it takes you out of the film. Because then you're like, I'm already watching the story unfold, I don't need lyrics to tell me the exact same thing...
...better people. "There's a thread going all the way from Freaks and Geeks to Funny People," says Shandling, for whom Apatow worked as a writer on The Larry Sanders Show in the mid-'90s. "That philosophy is, We're all doing the best we can in life. It isn't easy. It's just a little funnier than Buddha Buddhism."

Thirty years ago, most marijuana contained about 7% THC. Today, indoor growers boast THC levels of 25% or higher thanks to the additional care that...
...Sometimes I get a little frustrated," Barack Obama admitted to AARP in late July, "because this is one of those situations where it's so obvious that the system we have isn't working well for too many people, and that we could just be doing better." He was talking about health care, of course. As Washington collapsed toward its August recess, the President's reform efforts were looking distinctly iffy, even though he is absolutely right about the need for change.
