ok............i could have done this as a poll...........but i'm not keen polls.....this way you get to discuss..............
Ok...............Jim has been in many different movies with many different genres................what do you like him in the best...............and why
Ok...........straight romantic comedy....as in Bruce...........
...............General comedy............more Ace.................
...............Black comedy.............as in the Cable Guy......
................Straight/ironic drama......as in ESOSM............
................Straight drama..............Doing time...........
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me it's gotta be something which makes me think.....and somehow communicates something ...........which is why i ADORE Eternal Sunshine...........script aside, the acting was exceptional..... he was sensitive to the role.........a class act............
Joel is strong and vulnerable..............an awkward combination but he pulls it off..................
And i ADORE the Cable Guy too...............for the blackness of the humour..........it's quite subtle and sophiticated.........but very very funny and very clever.................alas probably too subtle for the masses...and sorely under-rated.........
Black humour is very much a British thing........less so American i think.......... it still did well but it was always gonna be a sitting duck for bad publicity due to the Huge pay-packet he got...........
And i LOVE his singing voice...........if only he would use it .......
so there you have it................i guess i love the ironic, clever, dark drama.............what do you like??
