I think perhaps my opinion of him is tainted by his antics in the modern day, dresses like an absolute dickhead, plays maybe the least unconvincing “old tough guy” in landman. Come to find out this man was HUGE. MARRIED ANGELINA JOLIE. This emaciated conman ENSARED THE LOVELY AND TALENTED LAURA DERN. I am seeing him everywhere in the late 90s and he is so dogshit in everything I have seen him in so far. Absolutely the weakest comedic talent in Bad Santa (AS THE LEAD). Armageddon the same he’s in this awful medium ground he’s never smarmy enough to be smarmy he’s never dorky enough to be the bitch nerd. Is Simple Plan good? Did he manage to stumble into a decent performance for once in his storied career? I was looking forward to watching it but I worry this charismatic black hole will pull me completely out of it. Did you have to be there? What am I not getting?—
As far as acting goes, I think directors don’t know how to use BBT effectively. You get some amazing standout performances across genres surrounded by a sea of shit.
As far as his music, sartorial choices, etc. yeah he’s a dickhead that I don’t care to hear from.
