Wow, someone needs to chill. Did you just try to equate a light entertainment/comedy/interview show to beheadings and torture? Here's a suggestion, how about not watching all those horrible things that you are so against? You must be really fun at parties...

Did you just try to equate a light entertainment/comedy/interview show to beheadings and torture? I didn't try anything. I just did it. The fun-at-parties meme is cute. I remain unapologetic.

Yeah, we all get the Donald Trump emulation act you're attempting. It's not cute, it's tired and pathetic.

I think a whole hell of lot less of people who watch beheading videos and videos of people being humiliated and tortured to death, than you think less of people who champion Howard Stern as talented or emulate him.

No, seriously. Fuck Howard Stern.

Please comment civilly and substantively or not at all.

"modest success" Yes, because Caddyshack, Stripes, and Tootsie were small, modestly successful, movies that only a few people have heard of. I mean it's not like Ghostbusters was one of the most successful comedy movies of all time .

There is 10 year period of flops between "Ground Hog Day" and "Lost in Translation." I also stated that. Notice you didn't mention a single movie from that 10 year period? Exactly. Ther…

Yeah, it's not like he was critically acclaimed in Ed Wood in 94.

Or turned in an iconic - movie stealing - comic performance in Kingpin in 96

Or won a Golden Globe in 98 for Rushmore.

Clearly you're right and nothing major happened in his career for 10 years.

You literally know nothing about this topic and keep digging yourself into a hole. It's kind of pathetic.

So much edge, even down to the wannabe-offensive username, and still nobody's interested.
