The Cinema Snob/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Cinema Bum. Despite being used for a brief sketch, Brad's performance of him as a desperate vagrant lamenting his life is really convincing, and you just can't help but feel sorry for the poor bastard whenever you see him. Somebody buy that man a sandwich, please.
  • As Brad himself notes, the slow transformation of the "hero" of Rock: Its Your Decision from a music loving, likeable average joe into a ranting, raving, delusional fundamentalist who has destroyed his life, his relationships with all his friends, and most likely his future, is downright depressing.
    • The fact that the (REAL) people who made the movie would consider the character's transformation an Crowning Moment of Heartwarming/Awesome is pretty depressing.
  • Brad and Jillian have separated. [dead link] Not "divorced", like how some are interpreting things, only separated. But it still sucks, though. Although they were in a Midnight Screening video together, which shows they can at least be friends.
