billhacer:“One of the most defining images of my 2019 is walking out of a movie theater in Hollywood to see a billboard for Barry on one side of Sunset, a billboard for IT: Chapter Two on the other, and thinking of how absurdly far Bill Hader has come. The dude started the decade as the most endearing part of every Saturday Night Live sketch he appeared in—Stefon alone belongs in SNL’s Hall of Fame class—but soon got the chance to really stretch his creative muscles, first with the genius Documentary Now! on IFC and then Barry, the multi-Emmy winning dark comedy that’s emerged in just two seasons as one of the best shows in years. Sure, Hader will still show up to flatline in something like Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, because Bill Hader is still funny as hell, but that’s also why he was able to so deftly channel both comedy and tragedy in IT: Chapter Two. The man contains multitudes, and this decade saw him tap in to every single one. (Note: If you’re still on the fence, please watch [the ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’] scene from the The Skeleton Twins several dozen times and thank me later.)” —Vinnie Mancuso, Collider: The Breakout Storytellers of the Decade. -- source link
