commenter of the day
We've always liked Eric Stoltz. We don't know why given that he's made more than a few movies that we can't recommend (
Killing Zoe and
The Butterfly Effect to name two) and directed episodes of
Quarterlife. All that aside, he shows up as characters we like from time-to-time and he just seems like the kind of celebrity we'd like to hang out with. Anyone who saw
Margot At The Wedding may have a somewhat negative opinion of Noah Baumbach, but before that he made one much better film:
Kicking & Screaming (not the one with Will Ferrell). In order to get the film released they wrote in a part for Eric Stolz, who was the early 1990's indy equivalent of Samuel L. Jackson in that you couldn't make a movie without him. Despite the fact that he's an afterthought in the script, the weird performance he gives is both memorable and entertaining.
