What's the deal with Eddie Murphy?
Dartful Dodger:
Is Larry Flynt that physicist?
I'd think even Harrelson wouldn't be able to mess up a part where he's playing a guy in a wheel chair with an oxygen mask.

Uh? What? :dizzy:
shmokes:
Yeah, I can't decide if that's a joke or if he really somehow got Stephen Hawking out of Larry Flint (or someone else. Anyway, in case you are serious, Flynt is the founder of Hustler magazines and has fought a couple of landmark free press, free speech court battles.

Anybody with half a brain, and I think but cannot be sure Frizzle qualifies, can tell from the OP and those that followed, that nobody is talking about how much money Eddie Murphy made, but rather the quality of the products he's been selling. Coming back with a balance sheet is retarded.

Absolutely, i was not getting at the fools who made the movies or the fools who paid good money to go see that crap... i was talking about the low grade crap he chooses to make and was wondering why a good actor would degrade himself or think he was making something worth while.
Not that they are in the same class, but would be like Robert De Niro staring in the wayons crap, white chicks (or in this case, black chicks) It would never happen.

I would argue that kingpin was good despite Bill Murray being in it (his part was serviceable, but other than the bad hair jokes anyone could have played it). Regardless it was just an "ok" comedy and it's 11 years old, so it wouldn't be something he did in the past 10 years anyway. ;)
And I agree with the sentiment that Bill WAS very talented and I love him to death. I'd love to see him come up with something worth seeing, but right now he's dead in the water.
Woody is a very talented actor though and I also enjoyed the Larry Flint Documentary and his portrayal of the porn king himself. And no, it does take a great deal of talent to pull that one off. The guy is a real character, so much so that it takes great talent to make the role believable rather than coming off as a bad impersonation of the man. I don't think people appreciate the job Woody did because Flynt isn't exactly the type of guy you see on tv everyday, so most only know the man from the character in the flim.
I'm not a big fan of Hustler, but I was well aware of the man because of his civil rights suits. Anybody that'll stand up for the constitution is ok in my book, even if the reasons are slightly selfish.
Will Farrell is ok too, if you understand the fact that he purposefully dumbs-down everything he does to appeal to the jeff foxworthy demographic. There are subtle things in his train-wrecks called films that are worth the price of admission and his ...umm less than intelligent... fan base won't get them
