Neither one of them is a bad actor.

I'd agree with that.
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!

I’ll agree when he remakes “ I was a Male War Bride” & not a minute before.

Re: Huge star - pity about the films
The Truman Show is ace, and Man on the Moon and Eternal Sunshine are pretty good, especially given his lack of serious acting chops.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Be that as it may, DF -
my problem is on an instinctive level. I can't watch him.
On the whole, I'd rather be in Wallenpaupack.

I usually can't watch him either, but on The Truman Show he had a director (Peter Weir), who managed to keep him in check, and he gave an excellent restrained performance.
We're usually skipping around the function room in our long-johns by now...

Re: Huge star - pity about the films
I like him overall. I grew up with crappy Jerry Lewis movies so that "Ace Ventura" type stuff is right up my alley. I think his dramatic turns are quite good - I especially like "Eternal Sunshine.."
I think the hard part with him is when he brings more to the task than is required (I'm thinking "Liar Liar"). I really like him when he goes overboard and the material seems to withstand this.
Also, he's become something of an outspoken hippy of sorts lately. He even shaved off that stupid beard. I like him.

Yeah I like him to, and quite a few of his movies.
I was worried he was heading down a Robin Williams route there for a while.

I always have time for Pitt as Aldo Raine in Inglourious Basterds.

Really? I thought that film was pretty terrible, and Pitt didn't particularly raise the level any. Only Christoph Waltz really shone, to my recollection.
