    I had a mustache through most of December. It was HORRIBLE. I had about 1.5 months on it and I was mocked constantly. Or at least half the time, and the other half of the time (nearly all guys) I was getting hailed. Which I took as mockery.

    It was like living torture.

    The black fingernail polish I wore after Halloween (until it grew out) was cake in comparison.

    and how are we to know that? Are you a sociologist? Anderson Cooper's brother died in front of him and he has made his way to a successful television career.

    I'm sure its a combination of factors. But, growing up in a van in the middle of nowhere with crazy parents who were wacked out on drugs played a large role in why that family is so fucked up.

    I still think it was an act. In any case, it was still funny.

    it's gotten him a lot of press that he wouldn't have gotten by going in that show as "the actor". does it help the movie? probably not. i hope he's not fried on acting because i think he's one of the better actors out there.

    agree on letterman, i shudder to think what would have happened if this was on leno's show. dave is so much better in those type of situations.

    yeah, that's pretty crazy. I heard the critics are PISSED! everything in the movie is basically faked. the childhood stuff is fake.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I always thought that was assumed. I heard the term "mockumentary" more than I heard "documentary" about it.

    Casey Affleck called it "the performance of Phoenix's career"
