Talented Jerks

[colonel panic]

when the dell ad comes on hulu i get really excited to see hugman. (it's dell, right? the usb ad).

OJ / John Rocker / Michael Vick

Larry David (just because he shows off his untalented side A LOT you cannot say the man is not talented)

I don't understand this one. How often does he show his untalented side? I know he did that shitty movie a few years ago, but for me CYE has certainly more than made up for that. Also, who says he's a jerk?

 Also, who says he's a jerk?

Oh, just everybody I've ever met that knows him personally.  Plus, he personally fucked me out of a job once.

jesus christ, why am i getting put under the microscope here

Bill Murray  (uh-duh)

Chipper Jones
Kanye West (although his talent is in a fog of crazy now)

You gotta justify classifying Bill Murray as a jerk. Every story I've ever heard about him has been that he's a super-cool and nice dude. The only time it sounds like he was acting jerky was that fight with Chevy Chase but it sounded like Chase started that one.

yea, i don't know, i've heard some stories.  here's one: my friend used to tutor in upsate new york. he was driving out to the boonies to tutor this kid and got lost.  as he's driving around looking for their house a car drives by in the other direction. bill murray is driving. my friend thinks, oh, that's cool and keeps looking for the place he's going.  Next thing he knows Bill Murray aggressively pulls up beside him and starts screaming at him.  He has apparently jumped to the conclusion that my friend was looking for his house.  

There's also the caller who told the story about Mr. M calling his brother (?) an asshole.  Twice.  But maybe he was an asshole.

Personally, I've seen Sir Bill suffer an especially foolish crowd at a Q&A following Broken Flowers quite graciously.  So this is how I repay him.
 
I knew I shouldn't'a posted in this negative thread.

Wasn't there also a little matter of spousal abuse recently as well?

YEA, YOU SYCOPHANTIC MUTANTS!

I'm on your side, hugman.

I'm pretty talented at being inadequate, and I'm a jerk.

I'm not sure if you're being serious about this outrage. I was just wondering if you had a story behind calling Bill Murray a jerk. You do. Matter settled for me.

I either lose my ability to pick up on sarcasm when I get on this board or everyone here is ridiculously touchy.

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm relatively new around here so I feel out of step with the rest of you.

I'm not going to become the all-time Larry David defender because to be honest I really don't care one way or the other. However, I'm not sure pointing out the trailer for a movie that hasn't been released yet is a fair way to say that he OFTEN shows his untalented side. As far as being a jerk, I'll just have to take your word on it. I'd like to imagine that he's a delightful jerk like on his show, though.

[TacoSmith]

Oh, I just thought of a good one. Alec Baldwin. He's pretty great in most things, but I'd bet dollars to donuts he's a pretty big asshole.

This should win you a few donuts -
