Man on the Moon
It was a good movie. I’m not going to link to it; if you want to find it, you can. The problem I have with the movie is that it wasn’t as good as Andy Kaufman. Perhaps that speaks to Kaufman’s inimitable comedic genius. I can think of no other person than Jim Carey to most closely imitate Kaufman; but even he couldn’t capture Kaufman’s essence. Or perhaps the problem was with the director. Maybe I should have produced the film.
Anyway, if you want something BETTER than MOTM, get “I’m From Hollywood.”
For a taste watch the following clips:

Likewise, it’s little surprise that Gabe Kaplan isn’t as good as Grouch0. What is astonishing (at least for anyone who remembers Welcome Back, Kotter) is how close he comes.Report
In contrast, Robert Downey, Jr. was a pretty good Chaplin.Report
Speaking of movies….DO NOT SEE “Anti-Christ” and DO SEE “The Messengers”…courtesy of Netflicks.Report
Wow- Bob, did you see Anti-Christ? I’d love to have been a fly on the wall for that screening.Report
