When I watched Crazy Heart I thought the casting of Duvall was a nice homage to Tender Mercies, but I hadn't noticed he's one of the producers.

Tender Mercies is one beautiful movie.

I saw it last summer. It's bizzare, but not really in an entertaining way.

Furthermore, Tiptoes is directed by Matthew Bright, the underrated auteur behind Freeway and Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby, the former featuring the best performance of "Don't Fear the" Keifer Sutherland's career, the latter featuring one of the best (but really, how can you choose) performances that Sir Prince Vincent Gallo ever delivered unto the Golden Silver Screen (he plays a Mexican nun, why?).

The Manitou: Tony Curtis, past his prime, in a schlocky low budget horror movie, which ends up being one of the most creative and fun movies I've ever seen. Every scene gets weirder than the last, and the climax is out of this world!

The Manitou (trailer)

Best of 2010 (from '78).

hm. looks too weird for me, even for a lazy Sunday.

not to mention, i can never handle the screams of women from the 50s-60s...too shrill.

It showcases method acting at its best.

Watching: "I'm Still Here"
What a heap of dung. Joaquin Phoenix is like an unpleasant, unfunny and dirty Zach Galifianakis.
Pure untertainment!

although you are correct on comparing their similar physical aspects (kind of), it still feels wrong comparing the great ZG to that dope.

I haven't seen this, but based on what I've seen from Joaquin's appearances in the last year or so, and Tom's description 2 weeks ago, and things like the above here .... I"m thinking this is like some kind of unholy collaboration between Crispin Glover, Andy Kaufman AND Tony Clifton.

What i was trying to convey is that he is trying to copy the physical appearance and  unique charm of Zach.
He did not succeed with the latter.
In fact looking back on the first time i saw him in this get up on Letterman i thought he had conceived a great funny persona. But the thing is: He is definitely not original. I watched some of Zach's material from the Purple Onion DVD and his late night show and it is apparent that he is not only a greatly funny man but also always relatable and nice in his shrewed way.
I can find nothing admirable in his performance and this stunt.

I am also not a fan of prostitution and defecation upon humans.
There was no need for that.

I am gonna stop thinking about this now, it's just not worth it.

Like you, "I am also not a fan of prostitution AND defecation upon humans." But, you know, one or the other might be OK in moderation.
