> Multiplicity received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes it has an approval rating of 43% based on 46 reviews, with an average rating of 5.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "This high-concept experiment only proves that a comedy actually can have too much Michael Keaton."

I resent that! If there is a problem with this film, and there *isn't*, it is *not* that there would be too much Michael Keaton. This film has the exact right amount of Michael Keaton.

It actually holds up much better than I dared expect., in terms of all of acting, script and cinematography.

  @mdhughes I kind of don't want to see this but probably will have difficulty staying away.
  
  Point in its favor: Getting sued by Cosby.

  @clacke I preferred House of Cosbys.

  1. House of Cosbys
    
    House of Cosbys is an American animated sitcom created by Justin Roiland for the film festival Channel 101. The series centers on Mitchell Reynolds (Jeff Davis), who builds a cloning machine to make duplicates of his favorite comedian, Bill Cosby. The show stars Davis, Roiland, and a rotating cast of performers, many of whom were participants at Channel 101. The series premiered January 30, 2005, and was the number one-rated program on the site for three months. Four episodes of the series were created, which debuted at Channel 101 screenings and were posted online thereafter. The series concluded on June 26, 2005 with an "unofficial" fifth installment. The series garnered media attention when lawyers for Cosby sent Roiland and site administrator Dan Harmon a cease and desist letter in June 2005, which resulted in the series' ending. Plot The series revolves around Mitchell Reynolds (Davis), a fan of comedian Bill Cosby who, using one of Cosby's hairs, spends a decade crafting a cloning machine to create his dream: a "house of Cosbys". Each duplicate contains random and mild attributes, such as curiosity and dancing...

  @mdhughes Is it a pretentious documentary about pretentious documentaries?
  
  My dream film is David Attenborough observing David Attenborough in his natural habitat.

  @clacke It is a remarkably good show, I was watching Channel101 as it came out and it was the best thing on there. And post-finding-out-about-Cosby, anything that annoyed him is good.
  Documentary: the Documentary was pretty good, too, if you like documentaries but think there's a pretentiousness to their style.

  @mdhughes Genuinely good? Alright then, then it's booked.
  
  Another point in its favor: Only 5 eps.

  @mdhughes The intro is very Land of Lisp-y. =)
  
  I don't think this is all that great, but it's interesting to see early experiments by Justin Roiland. And in addition to being few they are also admirably short. =)

  @clacke The other thing to understand is what Channel101 was about: Each creator made a single episode of a show. It went up on the site. If it rated well, got the higher number of views, it got "renewed" for another ep. If not, it's over, make something else.
  Minimal lead time, not like Rick & Morty which has scripts 2 years out and voice acting and animation 1 year out and it hopefully all collides in editing in time to show.

  @mdhughes Interesting. So a kind of art challenge format.
  
  It's pretty impressive how many voice actors they attracted. The Lonely Island are voicing the Cosby Team Triosby!

  We watched ep 1 out of 8 of Living with Yourself. A bit slow start but so far so good, kind of predictable as it's basically the origin story, but had some good laughs. The episodes are only 26 minutes.

  The ungrateful tomatorotters who gave Michael Keaton and Harold Ramis 40% gave Paul Rudd and Paul Rudd 80%. Maybe worth checking out.
