I'd believe it. RDJ's Iron Man is an insufferable character, but I kinda assumed that was just RDJ.

I just watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and it was really good. That director knew exactly how to utilize him. RDJ is actually talented unlike Musk.

lol that movie rocks.
"I put only one bullet in there. There was like an 8% chance?"
"Who taught you math?!"

him and kilmer had incredible chemistry. it was a Shane Black joint (i watch all of his movies) and he has a preternatural talent for protagonist duos, their dialogue and characterization.

also, the move of having a real actor play a role of a character who can't act successfully bumbling his way into pretending to be an actor from a fluke happenstance was such a funny bit.

i gotta watch that shit again.

Lmao that was the exact scene I was thinking of when I wrote that. I had to pause it and go smoke a cigarette while processing it and then explain to my neighbor that I wasn't crying. I was literally in tears.
