DAVID CROSS IS MAD AT THE WORLD
I love MR. SHOW. Particularly this one.
I also love ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - I'm watching it for about the sixth time now as I suffer from my very mild insomnia (meaning, I have to have the TV on while I nod off).
Which is why I'm reticent to say anything about David Cross, one of the most unique and brilliant comic voices of my lifetime. But there is this developing story . . .
It starts here . . .
And then David Cross responds to a bunch of stuff here . . .
And finally Patton Oswalt responds here . . .
And I'm sure there will be more to come . . .
I don't know what's stranger - this wild trend of comedians cameo-ingg in bad movies and then bashing them because "I only did it for the money/food at the press junket" . . . or the fact that Cross makes such a world wide bitch-slap at Jason Lee.
What these guys don't mention is that this is all interesting to us because the world they live in is so unfamiliar. Despite their "familiar guy" persona they put on live, these dudes get to star in movies and have beers in posh NY night clubs with Matthew McConaughey and then use money from that to buy a cottage in Upstate New York if they want to. Meanwhile, I live in Memphis, and Matthew McC doesn't hang out here very much, thank God.
The issue at stake seems to be this: Lenny Bruce never starred in HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI, or played a cartoon rat in a prestigious animated movie. And that's why he has all that wacked-out integrity, and these guys don't. They are still very very funny people.
