Maddox: Ben Stiller should star in every movie

I think Maddox is a riot. I like Ben Stiller's movies but I think Maddox has a point that Ben Stiller plays pretty much the same character in every movie except for maybe Zoolander and Dodgeball. But even those two characters are similar. I enjoy his movies despite this, but damn, Maddox is funny ripping on Ben Stiller.

that is seriously funny.

stiller's movies are like cheap candy....they're good for a short period of time, and they give you the fix you were hoping for when you came to see them (that is, quick, easy laughs).

but maddox is right....he sure is in a hell of a lot of movies.

dude, he played a totally different role in "the royal tenenbaums" and i really enjoyed that movie.

It's mostly true - but I don't mind! I'm looking forward to Meet The Fockers.

This wasn't up to Maddox's regular caliber of entries though. See the one prior for the wrong-factor that he's famous for.

BrewMaster · 12-22-2004, 08:48 AM

Oh I know. I've been reading Maddox for years. While this was not up to his usual insanity, it was funny nonetheless.

I can. The casting was horrible. Stiller's parents should have been George's parents from Seinfeld.

Don't hate on Dustin Hoffman. Though you can hate on Barbara Streisand all you want.

they are. (in real life)

johnnymk · 12-22-2004, 11:40 AM

I don't find him the least bit funny.

eSDee · 12-22-2004, 11:51 AM

I think he's pretty funny as Something About Mary is one of the funniest flicks ever in my opinion. However Along Came Polly was pretty boring, and after I saw it I began thinking the same thing. After his cameo in Anchorman it seemed as if he was whoring himself out too much.

Jerry Stiller's his dad. Anne Meara (not George's mom) is Ben's.

Oh, I generally find him pretty annoying in movies. Starts out okay but about half way through I've always had enough.

BrewMaster · 12-22-2004, 04:26 PM

he may be whoring himself, but damn when he makes this kind of money, you can't blame him.

Zoolander - $2,500,000
There's Something About Mary - $3,000,000

(those were the only 2 salaries listed on IMDb.)

eSDee · 12-22-2004, 04:30 PM

He's a good whore obviously

BrewMaster · 12-22-2004, 04:51 PM

yeah, but the good ones are never cheap. but then again, who wants a cheap whore...

I don't understand how you can judge that without seeing their performance in the movie. Excellent chemistry on screen. Now if you saw the 9am showing and posted afterwards, I'll forgive ya
