Ricky Gervais Meets... Garry Shandling (2006)
What???
Nobody can seriously tell me that Garry Shandling came off good in this fiasco? He struck me as an arrogant, selfish, self obsessed weirdo creep. He has all the personality of my dogs water-bowl with a couple of raw potatoes thrown in. I thought Gervais handled himself quite well given the circumstances he was forced into and to say that the interview was becoming all about him is a non argument. What was he supposed to when his interviewee turned out to be an amalgamation of Count Dracula and a giant moist toilet roll. I thought the part where Shandling made himself a cup of coffee to be particularly revealing. It spoke volumes about what kind of man he is or has become through fame, bitterness and a charm to match any oozing scab.
I Heart Huckabees (2004)
Pretentious Prittle Prattle
If you're a trendy art student type who just saw Blue Velvet and thought it was "amayyyyyzing" then this pretentious piece of chin strokery is right up your corduroy sleeve. David O'Russel in another in a canon of directors who like to think they're audiences are a bunch of New York intellectuals who like to read Satre and discuss existentialism over a cup of steaming hot Java made from beans crushed by extinct Mayan tribesmen. This film bored the hair off me. It was one of the most painful cinematic experiences I've had in years. Do not rent buy or pay to see this nonsense, it will only encourage all involved to continue to make such rubbish.
