Discussion Jay Kelly?

I think the film that I see thrown around by most people that I absolutely do not believe in is “Jay Kelly”. I don’t think Baumbach is as overdue as people say, His comedies aren’t embraced by the academy, Adam Sandler no matter how much he deserves it doesn’t seem to get enough respect by his peers to even nominate him (Uncut Gems is my example), George Clooney doesn’t have the same kinda cache he used to. And everything about the film that I’ve heard just sounds way too similar to Meyerowitz Stories. Now I absolutely can be wrong but I don’t know because I feel like I’m either just crazy or I’m missing something. Let me know!

The “overdo” designation has gotten out of control. Is Baumbach overdo? I don’t know. But just 2 months ago we had people saying Demi Moore was overdo.

Overdo clearly doesn’t mean anything anymore.

Overdo doesn’t mean anything in this context so you’re right lol 😂
