Yes, I am stubborn! Ask AZB!

And you might get AZB back against you if you start talking shit about Twin Peaks. Go get him, AZB. I’d like to see you guys duke it out while I sit back and watch the attention be deflected from Duchovny.

And for the record: Kyle MacLachlan was not wooden either.

You are so stubborn! Go on, rent Stranger than Fiction. I know you’ll like it. I tend to agree about Duchovny’s acting, by the way. He reminds me of Kyle McLaughlin, actually, to go back to the Twin Peaks thread. Both men are very one dimensional actors. I never feel like there’s a lot of depth of characterization there. But in their respective roles as one-dimensional FBI agents, they are both quite good.

Hmph. I’ll give it a try. I have a backlog of movies I need to watch. Will Ferrell will be at the very bottom of the list.

David Duchovny = Awesome

I fart in David Duchovny’s general direction!

But that’s not why I came back to comment.

Thanks, Matt, for the recommendation (even if it wasn’t meant for me). Stranger Than Fiction was a beautiful movie (just finished watching it), and as unhappy as I thought I’d be with Harold Crick’s fate at the end of the movie either way - I was quite pleased.

Melissa - watch it immediately. Don’t worry, its not a comedy (wish I could elaborate on it further). And while I don’t think Ferrell will ever do anything close to Carrey’s Eternal Sunshine, Stranger Than Fiction is good enough. Emma Thompson is in it too. I know you like her.

Matt, OK, if I am ever bored I *might* watch Stranger Than Fiction. Might. By mentioning Jim Carrey, you’ve hit another actor I can’t stand. But unlike Will Ferrell, I actually will occasionally watch a Jim Carrey movie. But not a comedy. Never a comedy. (Eternal Sunshine, Truman Show, quite good)

And hey! No ripping on Duchovny! This is Duchovny-rip-free zone!

I have to disagree with you, AZB. I love him in the X-Files, and I think he’s a good actor in the show. I have not watched him in a lot of other stuff (and you, for some reason, are unreasonably attached to Kalifornia) so I can’t comment on his acting there. If I am ever super super bored, I might watch Evolution. Though I probably would watch it before Stranger Than Fiction.

I like Duchovny’s dry, sometimes sarcastic voice. I like his overly complicated X-Files dialogue with Gillian Anderson. So … there.
