there, I said it

I don't find him funny. I find his humor to be highly repetitive. I think he is like Piscipo in that he was a scrawny nerd who got some wealth and can afford a trainer which has resulted in him having some arm definition that he will show off in movies whenever he can. That is not good comedy.

The one thing I do love is movies where he is the butt of all jokes or is getting his ass kicked, like Something About Mary.

The guy is a twat for having such fun loving, likable parents.

I am in general agreement with GD. However, Dodgeball is such a solid movie. My main problem is that Stiller is almost always the victim in his movies, and it gets old really quick.

I like him but there must be a time span between my viewing his work.

COULD NOT AGREE MORE!

The guy ruins movies!

He basically put the Wilson brothers into the industry with BOTTLEROCKET and now these guys always need to call him 'yeah, we gotta call Ben for a role"..

the guy is bland vanilla ice cream....Could take 20 of his roles and put an unkown in the role and it would be better...Fockers, Walter Mitty, Anchorman, Dodge Ball, on and on

But that's not a denial that you have, in point of fact, checked out Stiller's physique. It's just that GD has done it more, correct? :P

Yes, he was great in that


I think he's probably a better writer than anything else. The Ben Stiller Show was good stuff

He is just like most comedic actors. He is funny for a while, and then you get sick of him.

Stiller
Ferrell
Vaughn
Carrell
The Wilsons

and now the guys in the Apatow movies. Rudd, Rogen, Franco

Man, I just dont see it with Franco. He is like the opposite of funny to me.

I agree with your list of the most part though (I think Vaughn is still funny in his typecast role and Luke Wilson is capable of doing some decent things)

I don't find Franco all that funny either, but he is along for the ride in most of these movies, so I included him. He was pretty good in The Interview.

Stiller was okay in the Night at movies and I like zoolander, but there is something not lquite right about him.

Ben Stiller's guest run on about half of season 4 of Curb Your Enthusiasm was great.

He is much better in short skits like this. He plays the same character in almost every movie, so it gets tiresome quickly.

When he flips the chair in front of Ari and yells OBSTACLES! :lol:

He was top notch in Curb and I really enjoyed him in Permanent Midnight.

Edit: damn it, DB.

Tried to watch The Royal Tenenbaums with my family over the holidays. My douchebag cousin, who suggested I bring the DVD in the first place, talked through the whole first part because he was busy teaching his mom how to configure a new tablet. Mercifully, my sister kicked them both out of the room right as Royal got kicked out of the Lindbergh. But hey, at least people successfully bought shit.

ROYAL: He saved my life, you know. Thirty years ago, I was knifed at a bazaar in Calcutta, and he carried me to the hospital on his back.
ARI: Who stabbed you?
ROYAL: He did. There was a price on my head, and he was a hired assassin. Stuck me in the gut with a shiv.

Immediately after making this statement, Royal realized that it was true.

biggie what are you talking about, wes anderson wrote and directed "bottle rocket" and it was executive produced by james l. brooks.

ben stiller's greatness was beween the mid 90's and the mid 2000's with stuff like "the ben stiller show", his contributions to the MTV video awards, "mystery men", "zoolander", and "dodgeball".

he's always been better as a character than himself, i think. and he is a great director and writer.

"royal tenenbaums" is easily anderson's best film. he hasn't made anything close to as good since that one. and he was really on a roll.roy
