Just finished JIM AND ANDY. Amazing, incredible...a true journey to the dedication of a man and his craft.

Jim Carrey is a true genius.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[The Argonaut]

Yeah, Capturing the Friedmans was riveting.

I used to go to the same synagogue as some members of that family.
