AKJ, yeah, he’s always surprising us with his performances and the roles he picks. Don’t forget Stuck on You … or maybe we should forget that one

Carlos, don’t wanna give away too much, but from what you said and what I’ve read about it, some liberties were clearly taken with the true story. It’s always the way.

Didn’t see the movie, but did they make it clear that Ford and a couple of other companies settled generously, but he demanded instead the exclusive right to manufacture the windshield wiper, that the auto companies stop making intermittent wipers and wait for him to manufacture them and supply them?

This guy is one of my favorites. I think he’s one of the few actors who came out of a comedy situation (Talk Soup) and was able to move forward and not get typecast for more comedy situations, even though he does it well continually. Bill Murray, I think, didn’t make that transition. The Razor’s Edge?
I like Greg’s parts in Fast Food Nation and Little Miss Sunshine. I felt like I was waiting for the schtick to show up but a rather cool surprise role (dare I say dramatic?) showed up instead.
