In Reply to: Hoff is amazing. Catch him in "The Big Lebowski." nt posted by tinear on October 1, 2005 at 15:04:10:
..where he plays a completely sad creep.
Follow Ups:
the sisters ("but I'm not laughing!"), the weight challenged neighbor, etc.
And Ben G is surprisingly good, too (as is his wife and girlfriend).
Such a dark comedy that it is somewhat uncomfortable to find yourself laughing. So pitch perfect in every performance. I have been waiting in vain for Todd Solondz to hit his form again. His last one, where a bunch of different actors and actresses kept switching in and out as the main character, was provocative, but not really very entertaining.
..an american dvd of it from a friend here in Toulouse.
When I played it, because it was not the right 'norm' (PAL/Secam)the image was really bad, grainy, almost black and white.
The film was so good, though, that I don't think I even noticed after the first 5 minutes!!!
VERY impressive and all that I like in US independant cinema like Amos Kolleck, Jarmush, etc...
I loved his Lester Bangs role in Almost Famous. One of my fav movie lines is one in which Bangs tells the young journalist (who is concerned not fitting in with his peers) "Don't worry, you'll meet them all again on their long journey to the middle." A classic!
