Colonoscopy stories? What I had for lunch? NCAA picks? The options are endless! :rolling-smiley:

Sure, we went off-topic, but c'mon - I got to post a link to "SCTV"! What more do you want??? :laugh:

Oh - okay. I inferred you had seen the movie and agreed with Mark's assessment of the character. Now when you do see it, you're gonna be on "Halfwit Alert"! :D

Okay, "a lot of comedy" isn't the best wording since it might imply the movie's a laughfest. In any case, "Manchester" does provide a lot more levity than many imply. Going into it, I thought it'd be 2 hours of relentlessly downbeat material - one depressing scene after another with no respite...

Again, I wholeheartedly reject the notion that Affleck's character is mentally disabled and a "halfwit" or some douche who acts out in foolhardy ways. Like I said: until the tragedy, he's a totally normal guy with a totally normal life. Loves his wife, loves his kid, has a set of buddies...

I honestly have no idea where you got the idea Affleck's character was a "halfwit" or someone with a learning disability. I've seen the movie twice and I recall no instances that implied he had any cognitive impairments at all. He's a guy who lived a wholly normal working class life until...

I still disagree. A lot of people seem to view "Manchester" as relentlessly downbeat, but it isn't - it really does have a lot of comedy in it along the way...

I pretty much immediately recognized Scott when he showed up, though as much from his voice as from his face. I did assume his casting was a nod toward "TTYD!" - just seemed like it couldn't be coincidental!
