Slightly related to my last post, I was watching Good Luck Chuck a few months back because I hate myself, but that's another story. My only thoughts on that movie is that Dane Cook is hideous. I wonder why I never noticed how ugly he was until I saw that movie. The problem may be exaggerated by contrast with Jessica Alba on the same screen cause she isn't too hard to look at at all, but damn. He has a strikingly hateable face. I get the same feeling when I'm watching some movie magic behind the scenes thing and one of Jim Hensons wizards shows off some latex goblin head he made and sort of beams with fatherly pride like he outdid himself with this one.
I think his whole demeanor and his tired shtick and his rubber limbed histrionics don't help. I was kind of thinking while watching this hog slop that Dane Cook is like a very very poor mans Ben Stiller crossed with a very very poor mans Jim Carrey. Which is weird because those guys are ALREADY poor mans versions of some other guys, but I cant really think of the guys now. Maybe they don't actually exist, but rich folk are just kind of waiting around and hoping?
Which would make Dane a guy slated for the utterly fucking destitute, I guess. Dane Cook is like part of an emergency relief care package for a third world nation. I suddenly don't care about this anymore.
