Wouldn't "Cannonball Run" be considered a re-make of "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"?

I was thinking more a remake of The Great Race, but similar yeah. The point I was going for is there are no great plot twists, no character development, no big moral lessons. It would be tough to screw up because it's just mindless goofball jokes and seeing how many cameos you can squeeze into one movie.

He should have won best supporting actor Oscar for Boogie Nights. RIP.

He was very good in that movie. Tough call between him and Robin Williams in "Good Will Hunting".

I don’t see that. Gumball Rally may have been an influence.

I forgot that he lost to Robin Williams. Both great performances.

Bill Simmons has a great podcast this week about his top five movies, going into heavy detail about roles I had totally forgotten.

 

a great tribute

 

also explains to me how a lot of men a decade older patterned themself after these roles

will smith?

 

 

i don't care about the morality of most things, but a guy who beats multiple wives isn't exactly a good guy.

i just assume anything bad is covered up by the studios and media, the lack of a problem publicly stated doesn't mean a righteous life

 

i doubt more than 2 or 3 in 100 years with stardom have been decent human beings as normal people define it
